In a groundbreaking address, Macron urges Masons to be vigilant against identity-based interpretations of the 1905 law.<\/em><\/p>\n On May 5, 2025, French President Emmanuel Macron delivered a historic speech at the Grande Loge de France, marking the first time a sitting president has visited this Masonic ob\u00e9dience.<\/p>\n The occasion celebrated the upcoming 120th anniversary of the law of 1905, which established the separation of Church and State in France. Macron\u2019s address emphasized the importance of secularism and the vital role of Freemasons in safeguarding these principles.<\/p>\n During his speech, Macron stated: \u201cFreemasonry has always been the target of conspiracy theorists and obscurantists<\/em>,\u201d underscoring the challenges that secularism faces in contemporary society. He called on the Freemasons to act as \u201cambassadors of secularism<\/em>,\u201d urging them to demonstrate that the 1905 law is \u201cnot a law of exclusion but of reunion<\/em>.\u201d This call to action came at a time when debates about identity politics and religious freedoms are increasingly polarizing.<\/p>\n The Grande Loge de France, located in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, is considered more traditional and spiritual compared to the Grand Orient de France, which is the largest Masonic organization in the country. With approximately 32,000 members, the Grande Loge has historically been viewed as less politically aligned than its counterpart. Macron\u2019s visit, therefore, carries symbolic weight, highlighting a bridge between the state and a historically influential group.<\/p>\n In his remarks, Macron warned against those who would misinterpret the 1905 law for identity-based agendas, stating, \u201cWe need to be vigilant against those who want to erase, betray, or divert this great law<\/em>.\u201d He emphasized that the secular nature of France is a natural offspring of the Republic and cautioned against using the law as a tool to attack religions, particularly Islam. This is especially relevant given the current political climate, where right-wing politicians have been accused of exploiting secularism to target Muslim communities.<\/p>\n Macron\u2019s address also touched on the sensitive topic of end-of-life issues, coinciding with an upcoming legislative proposal aimed at creating a \u201cright to assisted dying<\/em>.\u201d He remarked, \u201cThe debate cannot be reduced to whether one is for or against life<\/em>,\u201d indicating that discussions around such personal and complex issues require more nuance and understanding. He expressed concern that public discourse often oversimplifies these profound moral dilemmas.<\/p>\n As he celebrated the 120th anniversary of the 1905 law, Macron reiterated its significance, stating, \u201cThis law is not an edict of tolerance; it is a law of freedom that recognizes and protects the freedom of conscience, of worship, and even the freedom to believe or not believe<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n Macron\u2019s remarks also included a tribute to two prominent figures in Freemasonry: Hubert Germain, a last companion of the Liberation, and Arnaud Beltrame, who was initiated in the J\u00e9r\u00f4me-Bonaparte lodge. By honoring these persons, Macron aimed to connect the historical contributions of Freemasons to the Republic with contemporary challenges.<\/p>\n Moreover, Macron\u2019s speech came at a time when the political landscape is marked by increasing polarization around secularism and religious identity. The right-wing Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau has been campaigning on a platform that seeks to reinforce secular policies, including proposals to extend the 2004 law banning religious symbols in schools to include school trip chaperones. This has sparked significant debate about the implications of such measures on personal freedoms and rights.<\/p>\n Macron\u2019s visit to the Grande Loge de France is not merely ceremonial; it represents a strategic alliance with a group that has historically played a significant role in French politics and society.<\/p>\n Here is the Elys\u00e9e website with a video of Macron\u2019s speech<\/a> (with French subtitles; the site can be viewed in English).<\/p>\n Source: Pinnacle Gazette<\/em><\/p>\n Europe\u2019s Secret Ideology No Longer Hidden<\/strong><\/p>\n Macron visited the Masonic Grand Lodge of France (Scottish Rite). In his speech, he attacked the Dark Enlightenment theory of Curtis Yarvin and Nick Land. Until recently, mentioning the word \u201cmason<\/em>\u201d was seen as a clear sign of conspiracy theory. Now, Macron openly appeals to French masons.<\/p>\n His speech in front of the Grand Lodge of France leaves no doubt: Freemasonry is a political and ideological organization fighting against traditional values, identity, sovereignty, and conservatism worldwide. It is a battle of what Freemasons call Light (Luciferian) Enlightenment versus Dark Enlightenment.<\/p>\n This is very important. At last, in geopolitics and politics, we are reaching the level of ideas, systems, and worldviews. Freemasonry, which long wanted to seem irrelevant for the public, is back in the spotlight. The EU and liberal globalism are deeply connected with Freemasonry. And it is by no means an anachronism \u2013 it is a global force. At the same time, it is becoming increasingly dictatorial.<\/p>\n Yes, today, the West is divided, and the Masonic elites are calling for consolidation around the globalists, against the rapidly strengthening populist forces. As Macron\u2019s speech makes clear, these populist theorists are already directly challenging the liberal-democratic, progressive modern paradigm.<\/p>\n Author: Alexander Dugin<\/em><\/p>\n Reactions on Twitter\/X<\/strong><\/p>\n French President Emmanuel Macron stated that Freemasonry is leading a vital struggle for the benefit of humanity.<\/p>\n Speaking at the Grande Loge de France in Paris, Macron remarked that the Freemasons' insignia has long been the focus of conspiracy theories.<\/p>\n Macron encouraged\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/IczdR3ptd6<\/a><\/p>\n — Shadow of Ezra (@ShadowofEzra) May 5, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-2-300x168.jpg\")
