Ever since 9/11 2001 we have seen a slow process of rights reduction. However this is actually at a faster pace now then ever before. The derogation of our rights in the US actually goes back many decades. The most notable was Nixon declaring a war on drugs.
I’m currently a Mason and Descendent of John Adams, yes the president John Adams. I’m also a direct Descendant of general Sharidon of the Union Arm during the civil war. I want to tell you the truth of the masons and this country.
