The global power of freemasonry - Gnostic Liberation Front

The refugee organizations were also under masonic control. Only
these spiritually lost individuals were allowed to determine who was
a political refugee from Russia.
One organization that very eagerly began to act under the masonic
authority was the Union of Russian Jews. It had a budget several
times larger than all the other refugee unions together (ibid, p. 311).
The freemasons were not prepared to let go of Russia even after
the fall of communism. The freemason journalist Lev Lyubimov
exposed their plans in 1934: "After the fall of the bolsheviks, free-
masonry will take charge of the education of the Russian people."
(Vozrozjdenije, 3 October 1934). He later left freemasonry and
returned to the Soviet Union in 1948.
After the Second World War a group of exiled Russian freemasons
visited the Soviet Embassy in Paris to express their support for the
Soviet Union. The delegation was led by Vasili Maklakov (33 rd de-
gree), who had organized the murder of Grigori Rasputin. The free-
masons paid tribute to Stalin and toasted him. They were trying to
draw the Russian emigrants ideologically closer to the Soviet Union.
Stalin's Struggle against Freemasonry
The Soviet freemasons suffered severe setbacks in the Stalin era.
Although they had encouraged Stalin to strike at the Church, that
dangerous enemy and rival of freemasonry, and the nationalist
forces, they found themselves the victims of persecution in the late
1920s and early 1930s. The Soviet dictator Josef Stalin had had
enough of freemasonry and began an intense battle against the
secret societies in the mid-1930s, even though Soviet freemasonry
had been legalized a few years earlier.
Starting in 1926, Stalin systematically executed freemasons, since
he no longer trusted the conspirators. They had served their purpose
and were no longer needed, in his opinion. The freemasons were paid
back in kind.
