The Aryan's
Albert Pike also wrote extensivelyon the mythtical super-race of the Aryans, extolling their virtues, imagined history, andreligion which he tried to show was the precursor of Freemasonry in is numerous PublishedWorks. It would seem that Pike was a fellow traveller with Blavatsky on this subject.Fifty years later in Central Europe there will be others who will take up this mantle anduse these writings as the basis for a ideology that curiously enough will also use theterm 'new world order' to describe it's agenda. Just a co-incidence of course.

Views of General ALBERT PIKE, Sovereign Grand Commander, A. & A. Scottish Rite.ALEXANDRIA, Va., 13th September, 1875.
My DEAR FRIEND AND BROTHER.-I can see asplainly as that the negro question is going to make trouble. Then plenty of regular negroMasons and negro lodges in South America and the West Indies, and our folks only stave ofthe question by saying that negro Masons here are clandestine. Prince Hall Lodge was asregular a Lodge as any lodge created by competent authority, and had a perfect right (asother lodges in Europe did) to establish other lodges, making itself a mother Lodge.That's the way the Berlin lodges, Three Globes and Royal York, became Grand Lodges.
The Grand Orient of Hayti is as regular as any other. So is the Grand Orient of theDominican Republic, which, I dare say, has negroes in it and negro lodges under it.
Again, if the negro lodges are not regular, they can easily get regularized. If ourGrand Lodges won't recognize negro lodges, they have the right to go elsewhere. The GrandLodge can't say to eight or more Masons, black or white, we will not give you a charterbecause you are negroes, or because you wish to work the Scottish Rite, and you shall notgo elsewhere to get one. That latter part is bosh.
Hamburg recognizes the GrandLodges. Yes, and so the German Grand Lodge Confederation is going to do, and so will theGrand Orient of France before long.
Of course, if negrophily continues to be thereligion established by law of your States, there will be before long somewhere abeginning of recognition of negro lodges. Then the Royal Arch and Templar bodies ofnegroes must be taken in, and Masonry go down to their level. Will your plan work? Ithink not. I think there is no middle ground between rigid exclusion of negroes orrecognition and affiliation with the whole mass.
If they are not Masons, howprotect them as such or at all ? If they are Masons, how deny them affiliation or havetwo supreme powers in one jurisdiction.
I am not inclined to meddle in thematter. I took my obligations to white men, not to negroes. When I have to accept negroesas brothers or leave Masonry, I shall leave it.
I am interested to keep theAncient and Accepted Rite uncontaminated, in our country at least, by the leprosy ofnegro association. Our Supreme Council can defend its jurisdiction, and it is thelaw-maker. There can not be a lawful body of that Rite in our jurisdiction unless it iscreated by us.
I am not so sure but that, what with immensity of numbers, wantof a purpose worth laboring for, general indifference to obligations, pitiful charity andlarge expenses, fuss, feathers and fandango, big temples and large debts, Masonry isbecome a great helpless, inert mass that will some day, before long, topple over, and gounder. If you wish it should, I think you can hasten the catastrophe by urging aprotectorate of the negroes. Better let the thing drift. Apres noun le, deluge.
Truly, yours,
ALBERT PIKE

The Knights of the Golden Circle
Brigadier General Albert Pike organized andlead the African Slave Owning Cherokee Indians in the Oklahoma Territory who were part ofthe Masonic Knights of the Golden Circle, in their own secret society called theKeetowah. Under Pikes Generalship this Brigade raped, pillaged, and murdered civiliancommunities in the Oklahoma and Missori Territories. For these "good works" BrotherAlbert became a Convicted War Criminal in a War Crimes Trial held after the Civil Warsend. Unfortunately the "Pope" and "Plato" of Freemasonry had to be tried in absentiabecause he had fled to British Territory in Canada. Second Generation British-AmericanPike has also been alledged to have been working for the Crown as an agent and key civilwar agitator. Pike only returned to the U.S. after his hand picked Scottish RiteSuccsessor James Richardon 33° got a pardon for him after, making President Johnson a 33°Scottish Mason in a ceremony held inside the White House itself! In fact given Mr. Pikesleadership roll in the Knights of the Golden Circle and the fact that the name Ku KluxKlan is a version of Circle (Kluklos) it seems pretty clear to most researchers who washigher up the secret society occuIt ladder and therefore more instrumental in thefounding of the Klan - Mason/Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forest orMason/Confederate General/ Knights of the Golden Circle Leader/British Agent/ ScottishRite Supreme Council Head Albert Pike 33°.

Conclusion
Rather than quake in fear when Masonic Propagandists putsthe muscle on (as in the case of the 1990's Pike Statue removal fight in WashingtonD.C.), a citizen or his political representative ought to put this question to GeneralPike's defenders: "Do you say that Professor Fleming, Miss Davis, Mr. Bowers, and all theother pro-Confederate historians were liars when they wrote of Pike's marvelous deeds asKKK founder and leader?" They want to have it both ways: first to issue propagandajustifying Klan terrorism as the work of "respectable'' men like Pike; later, when theirhero is under attack, to claim that their own propaganda slanders their man!

In 1995 African-Americanand Anti-Racist Groups attempted to get Pike's statue near the Federal Department ofJustice Building in "Judiciary" Square taken down but were out lobbied by the SupremeCouncil 33°, who were able to successfully mobilize fellow Scottish Rite 'travellingbrethren' inside the powerful ADL of the Grand Lodge of B'nai B'rith, who then toldpoliticians and officials that no evidence existed for Pike's involvement in the KKK.Brother heal thyself.
We predict Grand-Wizard Pike's future in Judiciary Squareis about as promising as the statues of assorted henchman that used to sit outside KGBheadquarters in Moscow under the hammer and sickle.
