Mr
Federer’s latest assertion, that the United Nations had a Christian basis, is simply
absurd:
He
quotes those great Christian saints, Presidents FDR and Truman, to back up his
claims. But both were ardent Freemasons
(i.e., Satanists). About Pres Truman, it
is said by his own Presidential Library:
In 1911, Truman lead the effort
to organize Masonic Lodge 618 in Grandview. He was elected its first master,
served as secretary for four or five years, and was elected master for a second
time in 1916. The Masons became an important part of Truman's social life, and
he gave himself energetically to learning Masonic ritual and participating in
meetings and ceremonies at several lodges in Jackson County. The thrill of
being a leader among his Masonic brothers was strongly felt by a young man who
had struggled for years to get over his shyness. "I have the big head
terribly," he wrote proudly to Bess Wallace when he was elected master in
1911. (Letter of June 16, 1911.) About a month after becoming master, he conferred
the first degree that was given in the Grandview lodge. "…Some time in the
far distant future," he wrote Bess, "I'll be bragging about having
performed that ceremony." (Letter of July 29, 1911.) He was frequently
asked to officiate at Masonic ceremonies. He wrote Bess in late February 1912
that he had to preside over ceremonies at three different lodges on three
consecutive nights. "That dispenses with three nights on which I receive
nothing but hot air and get my hatband sprung," he said. (Letter of
February 27, 1912.)
While Truman was serving in
France during World War I, the lodge hall in Grandview burned down and all its
records were lost. After the war, Truman focused his efforts on serving the
entire Masonic district that included Jackson County outside of Kansas City. In
1925, he was appointed District Deputy Grand Master and Lecturer and for about
five years he gave courses of instruction in lodges throughout the district.
Gaylon Babcock, whose family
owned a farm near the Truman farm in Grandview, attended lodge meetings with
Truman in the 1920s. Babcock was very critical of Truman's ability as a farmer,
but he thought better of the skills he demonstrated in his Masonic work.
"…He did a good job in the lodge work. Excellent. He was an excellent
director. If things weren't going right along smoothly, Harry would come in and
get them to going. He was a good lodge man." (Gaylon Babcock oral history
interview, Truman Library, 1964.)
In 1940, Truman was elected Grand
Master for the Grand Lodge of Missouri. His last duty in this position was to
preside over the lodge's annual meeting, held in St. Louis on September 30 and
October 1, 1941. "Well my tour of duty as Grand Master ended up in a blaze
of glory…," Truman wrote to Bess after the meeting. "My good friends
were the happiest men you ever saw and I felt like it was worth all the effort
and time." (Letter of October 3, 1941.)
On October 19, 1945, Truman was
given the 33rd degree of the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite for the
southern jurisdiction. He is the only President to have received this
distinction, which he considered with satisfaction to be the culmination of his
Masonic career. "Freemasonry," Truman wrote in 1939, "is a
system of morals which makes it easier to live with your fellow man, whether he
understands it or not." (Letter to Frank P. Briggs, December 13, 1939.
Papers as U. S. Senator and Vice President.)
FDR’s
Presidential Library has the following about his involvement with the Masons:
As
to the ecumenical foundation of the UN which Mr Federer praises through FDR (the
merging of Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish faiths; Pres Truman praised
it also and is quoted in the same article to this effect) -
On November 11, 1942,
President Roosevelt complimented the Jewish Theological Seminary of America:
"If the world to
emerge from the war after a victory of the United Nations is to be a world of
enduring peace and of freedom, that peace and that freedom must be founded on
renewed loyalty to the spiritual values ...
Enemies of mankind
who are arrayed in battle against us realized this, and therefore began their
effort to subdue the world with an assault on religious institutions ... which
... taught ... the dignity and worth of human personality ...
In cooperation with
Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant scholars ... it will in time, I trust, become
an increasingly powerful instrument for enlightening men of all faiths."

Such
a mixing is precisely what a real Christian saint, St Justin Popovich of Serbia
(+1979), called the ‘pan-heresy’ (i.e., the heresy that embraces all
heresies): http://orthochristian.com/87573.html
"Every Masonic Lodge
is a temple of religion; and its teachings are instruction in religion."
"Masonry, around
whose altars the Christian, the Hebrew, the Moslem, the Brahim, the followers
of Confucius and Zoroaster, can assemble as brethren and unite in prayer to the
one God who is above all the Baalism."
This
kind of brotherhood of all religions is precisely what Freemasons proclaim, to
the end that the devil, the demons, and Antichrist might rule in this world:
"Such a link
between Freemasonry and the ancient idolatrous mysteries is also manifested by
all that is enacted and performed at the initiations. As in the rites of the
ancient idolatrous mysteries the drama of the labors and death of the mystery
god was repeated, and in the imitative repetition of this drama the initiate
dies together with the patron of the mystery religion, who was always a
mythical person symbolizing the Sun of nature which dies in winter and is
regenerated in spring, so it is also, in the initiation of the third degree, of
the patron of Freemasonry Hiram and a kind of repetition of his death, in which
the initiate suffers with him, struck by the same instruments and on the same
parts of the body as Hiram. According to the confession of a prominent teacher
of Freemasonry Hiram is "as Osiris, as Mithra, and as Bacchus, one of the
personifications of the Sun."
"Thus
Freemasonry is, as granted, a mystery-religion, quite different, separate, and
alien to the Christian faith. This is shown without any doubt by the fact that
it possesses its own temples with altars, which are characterized by prominent
teachers as "workshops which cannot have less history and holiness than
the Church" and as temples of virtue and wisdom where the Supreme Being is
worshipped and the truth is taught. It possesses its own religious ceremonies,
such as the ceremony of adoption or the masonic baptism, the ceremony of
conjugal acknowledgement or the masonic marriage, the masonic memorial service,
the consecration of the masonic temple, and so on. It possesses its own
initiations, its own ceremonial ritual, its own hierarchical order and a
definite discipline. As may be concluded from the masonic agapes and from the
feasting of the winter and summer solstices with religious meals and general
rejoicings, it is a physiolatric religion.
"It is true that
it may seem at first that Freemasonry can be reconciled with every other
religion, because it is not interested directly in the religion to which its
initiates belong. This is, however, explained by its syncretistic character and
proves that in this point also it is an offspring and a continuation of ancient
idolatrous mysteries which accepted for initiation worshippers of all gods. But
as the mystery religions, in spite of the apparent spirit of tolerance and
acceptance of foreign gods, lead to a syncretism which undermined and gradually
shook confidence in other religions, thus Freemasonry today, which seeks to
embrace in itself gradually all mankind and which promises to give moral
perfection and knowledge of truth, is lifting itself to the position of a kind
of super-religion, looking on all religions (without excepting Christianity) as
inferior to itself. Thus it develops in its initiates the idea that only in
masonic lodges is performed the shaping and the smoothing of the unsmoothed and
unhewn stone. And the fact alone that Freemasonry creates a brotherhood
excluding all other brotherhoods outside it (which are considered by
Freemasonry as "uninstructed", even when they are Christian) proves
clearly its pretensions to be a super-religion. This means that by masonic
initiation, a Christian becomes a brother of the Muslim, the Buddhist, or any
kind of rationalist, while the Christian not initiated in Freemasonry becomes
to him an outsider.

Church of Greece (1933), ibid.
The
‘enlightenment’ of the Masons and of the UN are one and the same: The false light of the devil (II Cor.
11:13-5). The UN is a globalist
institution in service to the forces of Antichrist and always has been. The cloak of Christianity that FDR and Truman
tried to throw over it is simply to beguile the public:
"Masonry, like all
religions, all the Mysteries, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts
and Sages or Elect and uses false explanations and interpretations of its
symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be misled."
--Pike, ibid.
One
might expect Mr Federer to know better, but he does not seem to.
Mr
Federer also fails to give consideration to those Jews who are opposed to
Zionism:
The
re-establishment of an Israeli nation-state also hastens the horrible days of
Antichrist, but again Mr Federer seems quite blissful about this.
Mr
Federer’s idolatry of the ‘American experiment’ is blinding him to the
truth. We hope he will come to himself
soon and run to the Father’s house (St Luke 15:17-9).
