The global power of freemasonry - Gnostic Liberation Front

On 24 October 1883, under the sign of Scorpio, 17 socialist Illu-
minati agreed to found the Society of the New Life in London. On 7
November 1883, a group gathered to discuss the formation of a new
and potentially influential society. The group was split into two
factions, and on 4 January 1884 one of these factions founded the
Fabian Society. On 25 January, J. G. Stapleton was appointed its first
chairman. The aim of the society was a slow and secret introduction
of socialism, which accounts for its name, taken from the Roman
military leader Quintus Fabius Maximus Cunctator (The Delayer).
Through a clever manoeuvre he defeated the much larger army of
Hannibal. The other faction carried on its activities for another
fifteen years under the name of The Fellowship.
In May 1884, the masonic journalist George Bernard Shaw became
a member. (He received the Nobel Prize for literature in 1925.) He
was relatively soon promoted to one of the leading Fabians. His mist-
ress Florence Farr was a member of the Order of the Golden Dawn.
Shaw suggested never calling socialism by its true name, in order not
to frighten people away. He labelled himself a Marxist socialist.
In March 1885, the freemason Sidney James Webb (1859-1947)
became a member, and the next year Graham Wallas, another free-
mason, also joined. Shaw, Webb, Wallas and Sidney Olivier were
called "the great four". Sidney Webb founded the London School of
Economics in 1895. It received economic contributions from the
masonic bankers Rothschild, Julius Wernher, and Ernest Capel. In
1912, Webb founded a propagandist periodical, The New Statesman.
He was later to be found among the leaders of the Labour Party.
Other members of this group were the freemasons Edward Pease,
Havelock Ellis, Frank Podmore, Annie Besant, John Galsworthy, R. H.
Tawney, G. D. H, Cole, Harold Laski, Israel Zangwill, and Israel Cohen.
Fabianism also spread to other countries, among them the United
States and Australia, as well as Canada, New Zealand, Denmark,
Germany, Spain and India. In the United States the most influential
Fabianist was Dean Acheson, who in 1933 did all he could to per-
suade the USA to recognize the Soviet Union.
