WEBVTT 00:00.460 --> 00:06.031 In public, Freemasonry presents itself as charitable, non-profit, and tolerant. 00:06.031 --> 00:12.040 Its five principles are: liberty, equality, fraternity, tolerance, and humanity. 00:12.040 --> 00:18.049 According to Wikipedia, the goal of Freemasonry is to live by these principles in everyday life 00:18.049 --> 00:21.700 in order to promote human goodness in the world. 00:21.700 --> 00:26.693 We do not dispute that this may well be the case at the very bottom of the ranks. 00:26.693 --> 00:36.300 Recent events show, however, that there is certainly another, criminal, and dark side to Freemasonry. 00:36.300 --> 00:42.656 For example, in London, criminal activities by Freemasons were uncovered by the Metropolitan Police. 00:42.656 --> 00:51.020 The Metropolitan Police is the police force responsible for law enforcement and crime prevention in the Greater London area. 00:51.020 --> 01:00.042 In December 2025, she announced that she wanted to put a stop to the conflicts of interest and cronyism within her police force. 01:00.042 --> 01:05.699 Membership in Freemasonry or similar organizations should be included in its “Guidelines on 01:05.699 --> 01:09.020 Organizations Subject to Reporting Requirements.” 01:09.020 --> 01:16.209 This means that London police officers in this special unit will in the future be required to report to their 01:16.209 --> 01:25.270 superiors any past or current membership in a structured organization that involves internal loyalty obligations. 01:25.270 --> 01:31.329 According to British police, this decision was made in light of recent corruption allegations and past 01:31.329 --> 01:35.091 incidents that have damaged the police's credibility. 01:35.091 --> 01:42.366 The authorities point in particular to the findings of the investigation into the unsolved murder of private investigator 01:42.366 --> 01:49.540 Daniel Morgan, which revealed serious misconduct on the part of the officers involved. Several of them were Freemasons. 01:49.540 --> 01:56.407 Two active police officers who are Freemasons, as well as three Freemason organizations, had taken 01:56.407 --> 02:00.440 legal action against this reporting requirement. 02:00.440 --> 02:06.680 However, the High Court judge ruled in favor of the police, stating that in the future, all of its 02:06.680 --> 02:11.307 employees must disclose their membership in Masonic lodges. 02:11.307 --> 02:19.106 His reasoning: The Metropolitan Police is pursuing a legitimate goal, namely to maintain and 02:19.106 --> 02:23.677 strengthen public confidence in law enforcement. 02:23.677 --> 02:32.198 He justifies this by saying that it is intended to eliminate the risk of actual or perceived bias. 02:32.198 --> 02:38.918 The judge thus prioritizes the public interest in the impartial fight against crime over the 02:38.918 --> 02:44.400 interests of secrecy and mutual loyalty within Freemasonry. 02:44.400 --> 02:52.700 Another example shows that this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to criminal activities within Freemasonry: 02:52.700 --> 03:02.800 In March 2026, a sensational trial began in Paris against 22 members of the Athanor Masonic Lodge. 03:02.800 --> 03:09.632 They are accused of numerous crimes, including contract killings. 03:09.632 --> 03:19.616 Thirteen of the defendants face life sentences, including former soldiers, police officers, and intelligence agents. 03:19.616 --> 03:27.411 They are charged with murder and attempted murder, aggravated assault, and criminal conspiracy. 03:27.411 --> 03:36.632 The list of allegations is long: . According to investigators, members of this Masonic lodge murdered Laurent Pasquali, a 03:36.632 --> 03:41.792 43-year-old French race car driver who was in debt, in 2018. 03:41.792 --> 03:47.727 In 2020, an assassination attempt by the Athanor Freemasons against a woman who was a 03:47.727 --> 03:50.450 business rival of the lodge master failed. 03:50.450 --> 03:57.065 According to investigators, he instructed a “brother” from his lodge to get rid of them. 03:57.065 --> 04:01.570 He is said to have offered 70,000 euros in return. 04:01.570 --> 04:08.022 Conclusion: Kla.TV has already revealed in numerous broadcasts that these two examples are not just passing 04:08.022 --> 04:11.904 fads, but rather that there is an urgent need for action. 04:11.904 --> 04:14.570 Back to the example of the London Police: 04:14.570 --> 04:20.640 Wouldn't it be a prime example—and at the same time a good start—if all employees of public agencies were 04:20.640 --> 04:23.935 required to disclose their membership in Masonic lodges?
