The immediate task of Freemasonry is to seize political influence and power and re-educate society on a new basis. "Freemasonry must have power, and it already does, to influence public opinion," says the Grand Master of the Italian Lodges, Brother Lemmy. (Ray of Light magazine, book 6, p. 39.)

Freemasonry should cover all spheres of human life in modern states. Religion, the state, politics, the family, the school, the army, the social order, science, art, the press, industry, international relations – all this is rebuilt by Freemasonry in its own way.

The seizure of political power by Freemasons gives them a wide opportunity to implement Masonic principles through legislation and administrative orders. All foreign and domestic policy of France is guided by Freemasonry, it has full power and the ability to influence the public life of France in the Masonic spirit. There is not a single law, political, religious, or public education, that has not been worked out in Masonic lodges.

Freemasonry pays special attention to the family, education, science and social upbringing. Freemasons preach secular, non-religious education and expel the teaching of the law of God from schools. In order to deprive parents of the opportunity to give their children a religious, moral and patriotic education, the state takes all school affairs into its own hands, and parents can educate their children at home only with the help of teachers approved by the government.

The capture of the younger generation and the creation of a "new breed of people" from the youth - the future citizens of the Masonic state - is one of the main aspirations of Freemasonry. "Leave the old and the adults, take care of the youth, and, if possible, the children," is the old instruction to the members of the Masonic order of the "High Venta".

"First impressions are unforgettable and it is necessary that these impressions are healthy and consistent with modern scientific ideas. It is necessary to give children a powerful education based on morality, freed from any religious idea," says the Freemason Fleury.

"Public education must first of all be freed from all the spirit of churchmen and dogmatists" (Convention of the Grand East, 1909)

Freemasons advocate a state monopoly of primary education, comprehensive control of secondary education, and the management of higher education. University education is in the hands of the Freemasons. A small but close-knit group of Freemason professors holds everything in their hands: they distribute diplomas, award scientific degrees, create "names" and "authorities". An independent scholarly work, if it does not conform to Masonic principles, cannot count on the recognition of Masonic professors by the university Areopagus. People of true science are wiped out, they are not allowed to move, and they are forced to remain in oblivion and obscurity. A dizzying scientific career is made by unscrupulous people, for whom the "immortal principles of 1989" are an unconditional confession. The popularity of scientists is created mainly by the Masonic press, completely regardless of the talents and scientific competence of the advertised favorites. In the same position is art, which has been captured mainly by Masonic criticism. An ordinary novelist, but the freemason Aldanov has been transformed by such criticism into a genius and a world magnitude, and the genuinely Russian writer Krasnov is regarded as a magnitude that does not deserve attention. Mediocre, and often simply untalented, artists, actors, musicians, etc., thanks to the patronage of benevolent criticism, reap laurels and money, while true talents are forced to dwell in obscurity and drag out a miserable existence. Under such a system, people of science and art are the real helots of the Masonic order: they serve it not out of fear, but out of conscience, and form a phalanx of dangerous destroyers and corrupters of the national spirit and the spiritual strength of peoples.

THE ULTIMATE IDEAL OF FREEMASONRY

The ultimate aspiration of Freemasonry is to unite all people on the basis of freedom, equality and fraternity without distinction of race, tribe, nations, religions and cultures into one world union to achieve the kingdom of Astraea, the kingdom of universal justice and the earthly Eden (paradise). On the way to the establishment of the Masonic ideal - the union of all people and the creation of paradise on earth - there are positive religions and nation-states that must be destroyed. Religious, national and state differences must disappear. The struggle against historical institutions that prevent all nations from uniting into one union is considered the meaning and purpose of life of every orthodox and consistent Mason.

FREEMASONRY AND RELIGION

In the foreground is the struggle against positive religions and the church. Masons wage this struggle by preaching the indifference of religious faith, or they take the path of open atheism. The first system is carried out by English Freemasons, who teach: "In our time," says Anderson's New Book of Constitutions, "man freely chooses his faith, and only one religion is really obligatory for all: it is that universal religion uniting all men, which consists in the duty of each of us to be good and faithful to duty, to be a man of honor and conscience, by whatever name our religion is called, and whatever religious dogmas distinguish us from other people."

Supporters of the second system are representatives of Roman Freemasonry (main French Freemasonry), who openly declare war on God, Christ and the Church and go so far as to worship Satan. But the English and French Masons also have the same goal: to establish a new faith that unites all people in place of the destroyed positive religions: the difference between them in tactics While the English Masons recognize the "cultural way of combating religious prejudices," the French Masons openly preach godlessness.

In 1863, at a congress of students in Liège, the Freemason Lafargue defined the goal of Freemasonry "as the triumph of man over God." "War on God, hatred of God! All progress is in this! We must pierce the sky like a paper vault!"
