It explores how entrenched interests might suppress knowledge or betrayal of secrets. Fully relevant here on HN, since some might employ the same means to:
> avoid exposure of dark-market secrets (ownership, participants, funds flow, sources, infrastructure location etc.)
> call down almighty vengeance on ransomware hackers or malicious telemarketers (a movie about the violent end of a virus-protection racket would be awesome ... I'm tired of superhero movies)
> others

- wl 9y agoPropaganda Due is only a good place to start if you want want to start with a group unrecognized by any other Masonic group in the world.
- ryacko 9y agoAsk if the Masons changed their signals for distress every time a lodge has their charter withdrawn.
- wl 9y agoThe signs change as you move from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Heck, in some jurisdictions, they change from lodge to lodge.
- ryacko 9y agoAnd yet everyone's knowledge of masonic signs comes from the 20,000 masons who renounced themselves and joined the anti-Masonic party? Wouldn't it be more efficient to dissolve and rebrand?
- wl 9y agoThe signs aren't all that important. shrugs The 24-inch gauge, common gavel, square, compasses, plumb, etc... those are worth studying.
- microwavecamera 9y agoIt's a secret society. Propaganda Due got caught red handed. I thinking that had something to do with why mainstream Masonic Lodges distanced themselves from Propaganda Due.
