faced enormous economic difficulties. <strong>The</strong> freemasons provoked war<br />

between the British and the French, which in turn caused even<br />

greater financial problems for England. <strong>The</strong> British government<br />

therefore introduced even higher taxes in the American colonies.<br />

This policy was proposed in London by masonic advisers, <strong>of</strong> course.<br />

Because <strong>of</strong> the American opposition, when the economic situation<br />

had severely worsened, the new taxes were repealed - except those<br />

on tea.<br />

St. Andrew's lodge in Boston usually had its meetings at <strong>The</strong> Green<br />

Dragon in the north <strong>of</strong> the city. <strong>The</strong> leading figures Paul Revere,<br />

John Hancock, and Joseph Warren used the British decision in 1773<br />

<strong>of</strong> barring the colonists from the tea trade, as a pretext to start their<br />

revolt. <strong>The</strong> British had put a 3 % tax on all tea, which irritated many<br />

colonists. Warren later became grand master <strong>of</strong> the Grand Lodge <strong>of</strong><br />

Massachusetts and a leading radical in Boston. <strong>The</strong> British managed<br />

to murder him. Even in <strong>of</strong>ficial masonic history it is admitted that<br />

the Boston Tea Party was planned and executed by St. Andrew's<br />

lodge and Loyal Nine in Boston. <strong>The</strong> Bradlee brothers in St. Andrew's<br />

came up with the idea. <strong>The</strong> operation, however, was directed by the<br />

masonic elite in London.<br />

On the evening <strong>of</strong> 16 December 1773, dozens <strong>of</strong> lodge brothers<br />

with Paul Revere at the head dressed up as Mohawk Indians, took<br />

over three British ships and threw 342 bales <strong>of</strong> tea into the sea. <strong>The</strong><br />

leader <strong>of</strong> this raid was the freemason Samuel Adams. Masonic histo-<br />

rians admit that really was the case (Carl M. Hartreit, "De skjulte<br />

br0dre" / "<strong>The</strong> Hidden Brothers", Oslo, 1993, p. 141). It was a maso-<br />

nic action taken to protest against the many taxes. Britain imposed<br />

on the American colonies, while the inhabitants had no influence in<br />

the British Parliament.<br />

Already in 1770 the freemasons had used the lie as a weapon,<br />

when they claimed that British troops fired on innocent Bostonians,<br />

when it really was a hostile mob.<br />

In 1794, King Solomon Lodge erected a monument to Joseph<br />

Warren in Boston. In the same year Paul Revere became grand master<br />
