The Freemasons In America: Inside the Secret Society - Hardcover

The dark behind the curtain - lifting the shroud on the world's most powerful country. A scintillating follow-up to Jeffer's bestselling "Freemasons" and the only book on the market to deal with the links between Freemasonry and the Presidency of the US. The principles of Freemasonry are simple - religious faith; reliance on a Supreme Being; personal liberty; social and civic responsibility; belief in the value of every person and the individual's right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Sound familiar? Jeffers reveals the startling extent to which the Craft has shaped both the principles and mechanics of the most frightening country in the world. Masonic principles are imbedded in all the founding documents of the US Constitution - not to mention the Constitution itself - Masonic symbols appear on both the currency and Great Seal of the United States of America; and 16 Presidents, living and dead, are or were members of the Order. Politicians, businessmen, entertainers and cultural leaders in the US past and present are examined in connection with the Masons and specifically their contribution to the political machinery of the self-styled protector of the free world.

It offers an extraordinary look at the behind-the-scenes influence of Freemasonry, on the animal that has become the real Big Brother.
