Summary
It’s Wayback Wednesday! The 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence has come and gone. Researcher and author Peter Levenda talked with us in 2009 about the influence of Freemasonry on the founding of the United States. First released December 9, 2009 ---------- ASK 13 people about the Freemasons and you'll get 33 different opinions. Are they a Luciferian cult that's been plotting world domination for centuries, or are they just a fraternal group that likes to hang out together, volunteer in their communities, and drive funny little cars in parades? Our guest tonight has researched the roots of Freemasonry and the Craft's influence on the United States. Peter Levenda, author of the new book The Secret Temple: Masons, Mysteries, and the Founding of America , discussed the history, rituals, and symbols of Freemasonry, the brotherhood's connection to groups like Scientology, Theosophy, and the Mormons, and why it all matters. ---------- Follow us!
