Love said the Masonic Home’s inability to protect his client is surprising since, in 1998, it settled a lawsuit filed by 18 plaintiffs that alleged abuse by house parents and neglect by home officials. The institution paid out at least $6.9 million. Changes in personnel and policy were also supposed to result from the settlement, Love said.
FLORENCE, Italy, Nov 1 (Reuters) - The former head of an outlawed masonic lodge linked to some of Italy’s biggest scandals has sparked an outcry by announcing that he will take part in a television talk show to give his version of events.
Licio Gelli, the 89-year old former grandmaster of the shadowy Propaganda 2 (P2) group, will be the main guest in “Venerabile Italia” (Venerable Italy), a programme on Italy’s history from fascism to the 1980s.
The P2 was founded in 1969 and used to be the country’s most powerful secret organisation with prominent politicians, business leaders and military officers as members.
It has been at the centre of a number of investigations into allegations that it conspired with right-wing extremists and the Mafia to destabilise governments through bombings and violence, often blamed on extreme leftists.
Gelli was sentenced to 12 years in jail for fraud in connection with the 1982 collapse of Banco Ambrosiano, whose boss Roberto Calvi — known as “God’s banker” for his ties to the Vatican — was found hanged under Blackfriars Bridge in London.
White House: On Oct. 12, 1792, the Freemasons of Georgetown in a Masonic ceremony laid the cornerstone of the president’s house. During the renovation of the White House (1949–1952), President and Freemason Harry S. Truman gave an original White House stone to each Grand Lodge in the United States.
PATCHOGUE, N.Y. — A man was killed during a Masonic initiation ceremony when another member fired a gun loaded with real bullets instead of the expected blanks and shot him in the face, police said Tuesday.

RALEIGH - A spotlight showing Senator Barack Obama’s campaign logo has been projected on the side of a building in downtown Raleigh, as a downtown Raleigh developer who is an Obama supporter has been beaming the symbol at night onto the side of his building.
The 30 foot wide logo, which has a sylized picture of Obama and the word “Hope,” has been projected after dark onto the side of the Masonic Temple Building.
Downtown Raleigh developer Greg Hatem, who owns Empire Properties and has ownership of several restaurants in the area, owns the Masonic Temple building on Hargett Street where the image can be seen.
Hatem set up the projector from the roof of one of his other buildings. Hatem has been an ardent supporter of Obama during his campaign and frequent stops to the Raleigh area.
Hatem has also posted Obama “Hope” posters his downtown buildings under construction or those without occupants. In addition, Hatem hosted Senator Obama during a campaign stop at his newspaper-themed Raleigh Times bar and restaurant, which is across the street from where spotlight image can be seen.
To celebrate Obama’s visits to Raleigh, Hatem recently took out an advertisement in a local newspaper asking people to contribute Obama campaign paraphernalia and photos from his visit to Raleigh. Obama has made three visits to Raleigh during his campaign and just made a big rally campaign stop in downtown Raleigh on Wednesday.
This is not the first time Hatem has used the projector to project a message on the walls of buildings. Previously, Hatem had used a similar approach to advertise his “Duck and Dumpling” Chinese restaurant on Blount Street.
FPI - REMEMBER THAT FREEMASONRY IS A SECRET SOCIETY. THAT MEANS THEY KEEP SECRETS. DO THE MATH.
The sea of humanity that came to stand under the Gateway Arch eventually grew to what a police official estimated was 100,000 people, the largest domestic crowd Obama has assembled during his campaign.
