Prussia: King Frederick the Great became a FreeMason! – What of the Founding Fathers of America as Freemasons?

[America's Founding Fathers were Freemasons, and Hitler's greatest hero was Frederick the Great. I doubt Hitler knew he was a Freemason. But I do ask myself whether the original FreeMasons were as bad as they are now. Since Frederick was a King, I would have assumed that if he thought the Freemasons were evil or a threat to his nation then he would not have joined them and he could also have kicked them out of the country. So perhaps they weren't such bad guys? And this was decades prior to the founding of America. When I researched The Great Jewish Mask, I found that according to them, there is a rumour that the Jews bought out all the world's Freemason lodges in the late 1800s. So it could be that even the Founding Fathers of America weren't really evil, Jew infested Freemasons. That in reality, Jews just infested them and perverted them later in the 1800s? Jews bugger up everything they touch. So perhaps Freemasonry wasn't so bad? But I did once meet a guy who was a Freemason who told me that Freemasonry was originally very revolutionary and dangerous. I'm not an expert on the history of Freemasonry so I can't say more than this now. But I was amazed that Frederick the Great was a Freemason. In recent times, Cecil Rhodes, the Englishman who founded Rhodesia and hated the Boers, was a Freemason, but he was also an agent of the filthy evil Jewish Rothschilds in the UK. Jan]

On a German website where they have a page about the history of Prussia it has this sentence which caught my eye: "Frederick the Great in 1738 became a Freemason; in 1740 the first masonic lodge in Prussia was formed."

On Quora this was discussed:
Well I found this on the internet, strange you couldn’t, but anyway.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_National_Mother_Lodge,_%22The_Three_Globes%22

From that page, I present for your delectation, the following.

On the night of 14/15 August 1738, the future Frederick the Great, then Crown Prince, was initiated as a Freemason in Brunswick, being quickly passed to fellowcraft and raised to Master, all without the knowledge of his father. He invited Baron von Oberg and the writer Jakob Friedrich von Bielfeld, who were instrumental to his candidature, to form La loge première/La loge du Roi notre grand maître at Rheinsberg Castle, with Oberg as Master. After his accession to the Crown he led the lodge himself from 20 June 1740. The foundation of the Grand Lodge is taken as 13 September 1740, when, with the King’s permission, the lodge Aux Trois Globes was formed under the auspices of the privy council and Charles-Étienne Jordan. It was modelled on the Premier Grand Lodge of England, although it received no charter from it.

There are some who would say that as it received no Charter from UGLE it was therefore an ‘Irregular’ Lodge and so not a Freemasons Lodge, with its members not being Freemasons.

So it’s another case of ‘you pay your money, you make your choice.’
