P2 has been involved in enormous financial rackets, arms trading, illegal art dealings, drug trafficking, terrorism and political assassi- nations. Despite all that was revealed, the lodge members still kept their key positions in Italian society. In his memoirs, "My truth", Gelli claimed that P2 merely was "a club for friends with good intentions". The French freemason Jean-Christophe Mitterrand (Grand Orient), son of former president Franeois Mitterrand, was involved in illegal arms trading to Angola. A French court of enquiry in January 2001 demanded that the Swiss authorities freeze his bank accounts there. Tina Anselmi, chairman of the P2 commission, complained that: "P2 is by no means dead. It still has power. It is working in the insti- tutions. It is moving in the society. It has money, means and instruments still at its disposal. It still has fully operative power centres in South America. It is also still able to condition, at least in part, Italian political life." (David Yallop, "In God's Name", London, 1985, p. 446) Leoluca Orlando was of the opinion that through freemasonry the Mafia is going all over Europe. He considered that this is a serious international problem (Brian Freemantle, op. cit., p. 15). Much less has been written about the sister lodge of P2, Iside 2 or A2, which was founded by Licio Gelli's associates. A2 became a sophisticated centre for various criminal activities. The lodge was in the early 1980s involved in the murder of Judge Carlo Palermo, who was the first to verify the ties between the Mafia, freemasonry and the Bulgarian and Syrian spy organizations. Several investigations by Judge Ciaccio Montaldo have carefully verified the connections the Mafia in Trapani, Sicily, had to A2. Among the members of the secret lodge A2 were also employees of the Bulgarian Embassy in Rome (Antonio Caspari, "Freemasonry, Mafia, and Communism", Stoppa Knarket, No. 4, 1988, pp. 8-9). In June 1993, Iside 2 Grand Master Giuseppe Mandalari in a Trapani court was sentenced for founding a secret society (Claire Sterling, "Crime without Frontiers: The Worldwide Expansion of Organized Crime and the Pax Mafiosa", London, 1994, p. 230). 241

Freemasons all over the world are morally responsible for the crimes lodges such as the Grand Orient of France, P2, A2, P1, P3, and Albert Pike in Calabria have committed. The Parliamentary Investigative Commission in Rome concluded that Italian freemasonry became the principal victim of Gelli's activi- ties, not the Italian society. What was to be expected? Freemasonry in Italy is very powerful. There are more than 500 lodges. Club 45 or "The Red Lodge of Vienna" The origin to the lodge Club 45, also known as "The Red Lodge of Vienna", can be traced to three influential men: Leopold Gratz, Hannes Androsch and Udo Proksch. Towards the end of the 1960s the young parliamentarian and secretary of the SPO (Austrian Socialist Party), Leopold Gratz, gathered a group of friends from the Socialist Student Association, who had all started their careers in 1945 (thus the name "Club 45"). They pledged lifelong friendship and mutual unconditional support in their personal careers. Their aim was political influence, real power, success, and money. Does it seem familiar? About the same time, in 1969, Chancellor Bruno Kreisky sent his protege Hannes Androsch (later to become foreign minister) to Harvard University for a year. There he took part in the seminars of Henry Kissinger. Androsch was particularly aroused by Kissinger's lectures about "the organization and exercise of power". Having returned to Austria, Androsch knew what to do. He told some friends that they ought to start a special masonic organization within the SPO. That way a small group could relatively quickly reach the top, at first within the party and then in the whole country. The third man of the original troika, the adventurer, arms dealer and Soviet agent Udo Proksch, decided to combine the plans of the two young socialist lions into one single organization and concept. Of course, he had his own plans in addition to that. Proksch 242
