Benjamin Franklin- Freemason and Jewe
January 13, 2023
Josiah and Abiah Franklin. Benjamin Franklin contributed to the Mikveh Israel Jewish congregation in Philadelphia.
Franklin's career as a Freemason is shrouded in mystery. This Author has the somewhat rare book Benjamin Franklin as a Freemason by Julius Sachse (J.F. Sachse is the last of a line of Sachses in the World Order.) This leading Masonic scholar writes, "To write the history of Franklin as a Freemason is virtually to chronicle the early Masonic history of America....A great difficulty, however, here confronts us, notwithstanding the prominence of FRANKLIN in Pennsylvania Freemasonry; strange as it appears, he does not mention a word of his Masonic connections or career in his Autobiography, or in any of his correspondence, with but two exceptions, so far as known.
Between Jan 21, 1769 and Jan. 21, 1772 a series of inflammatory letters called The Letters of Junius, which were written in England, were circulated through out the American colonies. The letters advanced those causes that the colonists would declare to be the causes of their revolution, human rights, freedom of the press, and taxation without representation. The letters were read by Franklin and many of the Masons who initiated the American Revolution. The man who wrote these letters according to his niece, was the Reverend James Wilmot (1726-1808) a Mason and rector of Barton-on-the-Heath, in Warwickshire in 1785. He also was the first person to publicly name Bacon as the author of Shakespeare's works.65 He also apparently was in contact with the Lodge of Nine Sisters in France that Franklin would join in 1777.66
"Historians have never ceased to wonder at the enormous psychological influence which Franklin exercised in colonial politics. But up to the present day, few indeed are those who have realized that the source of his power lay in the secret societies to which he belonged and which he was the appointed spokesman."67
Independence Hall which became the famous center of the Revolution was built by the Masons. It is believed by some that the Mason Benjamin Franklin laid its cornerstone, others say it was another Freemason instead.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN & RELIGION
Some of Franklin's Masonic brothers in France were impressed by the rituals, etc. that he thought up for a new religion. Turning our attention to a different aspect of Franklin's, in a statement of beliefs Franklin states, "I conceive then, that the INFINITE has created many beings or Gods... It may be that these created Gods are immortal; or it may be that after many Ages, they are changed, and others Supply their Places."68
that it is really a travesty of honest reporting, that Franklin is held up by so many as a role model for Protestants. The distortions in the popular history books about Franklin are but a microcosm of the distortions that history books in general suffer from...

Tony B said (January 13, 2023):
I cannot remember where it was written but in the late 1950s, early 60s, all us "patriot" types knew for a certainty that Franklin practiced, at least once, the satanic mass, and it was done in the O.T.O., Gross-Orient, in later times a favored haunt of Aleister Crowley. In fact it was our knowledge that all Franklin's anti-Christian worship took place in Europe, both France and England.
Franklin seemed to like going to France specifically for his connection to the O.T.O. perhaps because it was/is? a phallic outfit. Much about the O.T.O. in Occult Theocrasy, the Edith Starr Miller (Lady Queenborough) research of the occult done over ten years time by this American lady (whose Jewish English lord husband had her murdered for publishing) and Paquita de Shishmareff (whose name was kept off as her connection to her Waters Flowing Eastward was already talmudic Jew-poisoned to the public).
On your concern that "Jewry" is always a mention but never "masonry," here is the last paragraph (p.466) of the short chapter on B'nai B'rith form that 1930s book:
"There is little doubt now that the B'nai B'rith seems to be the supreme body, shaping and directing for the attainment of its own ends, the policies, whatever they may be, of all Freemasonry beginning with the Grand Lodge of England, The Grand Orient and Scottish Rites, and ending in the O.T.O., which is Illuminism under another name."
