Masonic Litigation - Part 3 of 3

=========part 3 of 3 =======================================

    The present litigation in Denver District Court is about who owns  the
property and other money - Le Droit Humain or the Colorado Non  Profit
Corporation which had owned it for a very long time.

    It appears there are other important by much less obvious issues
underlying the above developments. The Representative of Paris till the
above developments took place have always been an individual of European
origin. Before the above developments, the membership recommended a  person
of non European Origin to be appointed as the Representative of  Paris, and
for the first time in US history of co-m, Paris ignored the  general wish of
the membership and appointed an individual of European  Origin.

    This fact, whether just coincidental or deliberate appears not to  look
good. When the litigation was started in the court, it was an  interesting
scene. On the side of plaintiffs, I was told, all the  individuals sitting
were of European origin and on the defense side were  sitting individuals
predominantly of Hispanic and/or South American in  origin. It appears that
to some observers it made a very powerful  impression, which was not good.

    Due to many members of TS also belonging to Co-Masonry in their
personal capacity, a very leading elected official of the TS (in  his
personal capacity) tried to subtly influence the American Co-Masonic
Membership to support the demands of Paris. I do not know if this did  any
good at all to TS in America. If any, it might have had some  negative
effect on the TS members. There is also the issue of many of  the leading
elected officials of TS around the world holding high  offices in the Co-M
in Paris (in their personal capacity) which sought  the above change in the
setup in the USA.

    On another situation that arose a couple of years ago, when a person  of
non European origin ran for the President of TS, there was a mess in  his
getting "brown balled" and all the members in the TS in USA are  fully aware
of what happened.

   In the past, International Organizations including TS had the unique
advantage of controlling the flow of information from one country to
another country relating to any developments in any country.

    The membership in neighboring countries were totally in the dark
relative to any important or serious events that took place in any  country.
Now all that is changing with Internet. Information on all  developments
travel at speed of light and everyone on Internet is able  to know what is
going on instantaneously. Also interested participants  can elicit more
specific details they are interested in. Such full  exposure is very good.

    When you deal with Truth and actions based on Truth and openly  stated
principles and objectives, any exposure will only strengthen the  actions
and increase support and not weaken them. However, when there  are actions
which are blatantly unjustifiable and undemocratic, such  full exposure can
only make the leaders very very uneasy and  uncomfortable.

    Even this message you would not have seen but for Internet.

    Long live Internet.

 ...Doss
