Freemasonry in USA shall be a preeminent organization for men of quality, regardless of race, religion or creed, consistently delivering, by symbols, allegory and example, a moral code founded on the highest standards of ethics, honesty and strength of character, a fraternal organization committed to charity, true fellowship and brotherly love under the Fatherhood of God; and a relevant organization dedicated to delighting, involving and educating members and their families in the community, where the lodge is a vibrant, respected and contributing part of community life.
The Organization must be well-led, committed to excellence, maintain quality programs and quality use of time and should forge alliances within the community designed both to help the community and develop the character of masons.
A man who becomes a American Mason can expect to find in his fraternity the opportunity to learn and to lead; to be inspired and entertained; to be challenged and respected; to be involved with his family, his Brothers and his community; and be proud to be a member of an organization committed to making a difference.

Santa Anna (Alamo)
Two months later Santa Anna's army was defeated by a force lead by Sam Houston at the Battle of San Jacinto. The day after the battle, Santa Anna was captured and brought before Houston. He is said to have given the secret distress signal of the Master Freemason to Houston and blamed the executions of the Alamo militia on a subordinate general. He then agreed to have his army retreat. Houston was not hostile to him and they spent the rest of that day sorting out the boundaries of Texas. With Santa Anna so compliant, Houston did not kill him as the other Texans wanted. He saved his Masonic brother and allowed him to return to Mexico.
I can't find a the piece on it but Houston's wife later did this to Santa Anna and he spared her life.

I've always heard that if you go to court as a mason, give some hand sign to signify to the judge that you're a brother/sister, you will win your case....regardless to what it is. That's what I've heard and read.

See link for photographs and the forum I cut and paste this from:
Quote:
Ive received a few PMs askin what this Mason sh1t has to do with rap, alot of young dudes want more knowlege...so im gonna KICK MY OPINION...and just sh1t ive picked up on...damn this is gonna take me a while
Ive been following Nas and Jays career since they pretty much started out...Jay before dumbin down was prolly my fav, neck and neck with Nas...but after goin commercial i grew a hatred for him...thas besides the point...if you know your sh1t about these 2 emcees and you actually listen to their lyrics and try to understand them, you know these are 2 smart nikkas...i mean in a knowlegable way as in books, religion, certain "cults"...specially Nas. We've all seen Nas transform through his career, most call it him being a hypocrit, including me, but i think this nikka just has a thirst for knowlege...and he grows as he learns. This explains him goin from a chrstian...to wearing kufi's...to becoming a mason.
If your up on Jayz, you know about his anti-god stand in life...and alot of times his subliminal message in his songs...im not gonna go into the hundreds of lines...just a few tho..."if jehova witnessed bet he'd never testify"...on the track called D'evils...or..."never prayed to god i prayed to gotti"..."raise hell til its heavon"...the track Lucifer..."lord forgive, he got the dark forces in him"...he been on this tip since he came into the game...hes been a mason when he started rocafella thus the dynasty symbol being a pyramid. Then he went and called himself J-Hova (jehova)...Masons think of themseves as Gods...they feel theyre superior to the rest of the world.
the whole thing with the masons is they recruit powerful, rich people...so most of the music industry is down...ive been knowin about this for years in rap...and there are alot of knowlegable cats in the game who are up on this stuff...Nas, Pac, Jay, Ra...but the 2 dudes that were anti iluminati were Pac and Nas...Pac made the track "killuminati" and Nas came at Jay with "ether" that had a lot of his masonic jabs in it...peep game
Ether has a few meanings, it is described as the area in outer space...and its a chemical liquid...when inhaled, is like a strong drug...trips the **** outta ppl, it seperates your mind from your physical...people on it have visions of god, devil, galaxies, euphoria...and it is said that back in the day when their were possessed people...the priests would drug the possessed with ether...it was believed to kill the evil inside of them....this is where Nas' track title comes from...
"ether, that sh1t to make your soul burn slow"
When you become a mason and you get your first degree...you have to go through a bunch of rituals...and eventually sign your name on paper...there are a lot of theorists that say that is when you are signing your sould over to the devil....then its believed you receive good fortunes...i believe this is what Nas meant when he said
"i love you cause your my brother, you traded your soul for riches"
I always believed Jay and Nas' war was more than just a lyrical thing...and their dislike started before any Carmen sh1t...Nas was very pro-God...and Jay was the opposite...on one hand you got one dude callin himself (J-hova) god himself...then u got God's Son...meaning god sent...to destroy evil and protect...i saw it as more of a spiritual battle...
Thats why I was so shocked when i saw them squash the beef...not just that...but they met on stage...and since when do two hip hop nikkas shake hands?? not only that....it was in a masonic grip to let the whole world know whats up (those who recognised it knew atlease, and their the ones who matter)
Then all of a sudden Nas retires his Cross chains and gets a new Egyption chain...which is where illiuminati started...with the whole pyramids and all. The one track released since...hes talkin about "i slow dance with the devil" and "annuet coeptip, the plan and the message"...what happened to his mom slow dancing with Jesus on Gods son?
