John,
I write as a former subscribing member of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Ireland. As to the reason why those who govern did collectively conspire to sully my name and good character by abuse of power and position is for them to answer. Their pitiable rationale is unimportant to me as nothing can justify kangaroo courts and conspiring Grand Masters edicts. Nor why they as the highest guardians of the Order embarked to do so while I was engaged in the largest Masonic financial building project in Ireland during the past century is bewildering. But crucially the manner and process, in which the auspice of Freemasonry was corrupted, by the self same cohorts, cannot be treated as a distant historical topic. Nor can it be deemed to be a regretful legacy of past officers mal-administration, as the status quo currently remains today. And it will remain a live issue until it be addressed.
The besmirching inflicted unto me by Grand Lodge is very current and equally remains ever present. All recent, current and future Grand Lodge Board representatives including Provincial Grand Lodge Officers in every Province are complacent by their inaction which condemns them everlastingly until injustices are corrected. It is apparent that the oaths and obligations which I undertook are not meaningful to those in governance. A light does not shine in their darkness and each year new appointed officer’s also directly contribute to concealing truth to retain their rank. The continuance of the cover up by new officers is no less of a cover up by the initial conspirators 17 November 2007 as per those exposed by document 10 enclosed.
Though I proclaim to be wholly vindicated by the receipt of a statement (document10) which was subsequently forwarded to Grand Lodge, it is noted that not one singularly named officer has refuted matters therein. The dross of Freemasonry laden with golden braid is surely floating on the top and incapable of discerning the difference between truth and their fiction to the membership.
As this letter to you may also be distributed to others who may be lesser informed I have assembled the following better particulars in a chronological date sequence of material snippets that is authenticated from Grand Lodge documents. These following documents have always been in your domain as you sat on the first Grand Lodge hearing panel of 7 November and 14 November 2009 and subsequently you now preside as the Grand Lodge Registrar. Your fingerprints and particular full insight to the failings of natural justice within Freemasonry is your skill set as a practising barrister.
18 March 2009
Doc 1 – Voting paper. [1 page: number 1]
Provincial Grand Lodge of Antrim found me guilty of unmasonic conduct in my absence. This meeting was described as a Kangaroo Court by some of the self same subscribing masons who were coerced to participate. At my rehearing the PGM John Dickson sought that I should not display his voting paper as evidence. He felt intimidated by the manner in which it was framed but he never thought it intimidating to use. It remains as a framed artefact in my home and becomes a frequent conversation piece. I can recall of all my time in Masonry and I have nothing to hide.
30 March 2009
Doc 2 – Report by PGLA grievance committee. [4 pages: numbered 2,3,4,5]
It states (section 1) that the Grand Master was directing matters.
It clearly indicates that no charge was laid against me. (page 3 section 6a and page 4 sub- para (a) reference to same)
8 April 2009
Doc 3 – PGLA suspension letter. [1 page: number 6]
Letter from PGLA referring to my immediate suspension in accordance to Grand Law 35.
29 April 2009
Doc 4 – PGLA prohibited letter. [1 page: number 7]
Letter from PGLA informing that Grand Law 35 was misdirected and that I should be prohibited rather than suspended. The following document 5 states that no prima facie case was even made between 18 March 2009 to 7 October 2009 and beyond. Thus it follows the edict by the then DGM Dougie Grey to prohibit me was also contrary to a requirement of GL 35 as any accused needed to be charged with an offence involving expulsion or suspension. At no time at any hearing was a charge prospered to cite expulsion or suspension of that charge.
7 October 2009
Doc 5 – GL letter to PGLA [4 pages: numbered 8,9,10, 11]
This letter plainly and simply sets out to PGLA that a while hearing dates are scheduled no prima facie case has been made. And Grand Lodge has never established if a prima case was made. (page 9 para 2)
27 October 2009
Doc 6 – GL initial summons to an accused brother. [1 page: number 12]
GL summons irregularly served by the failings of Morgan McCreadie to hearing 7 November 2009 and also that a prima facie case was never established in the first instance.
15 January 2010
Doc7 – GL letter to Straid ML secretary. [1 page: number 13]
As a hearing panel member of the November 2009 hearings you found three Provincial officers guilty of unmasonic conduct and myself and two others. But Grand Lodge did not publish in the annual report their guilt, but published and circulated my name and names of S Hood and B Hood.
7 May 2013
Doc 8 – GL rehearing summons to an accused brother. [1 page: number 14]
The GL rehearing summons is served in accordance to GL 35 protocol but no prima facia case was yet established. Not surprising that outcome was to uphold that of the Kangaroo Court of 18 March 20019 and the initial GL show trials of November 2009. Had it not done so the Grand Masters so called prerogative and desires as outlined in above listed document 2 would have meant that the PGLA grievance committee as having brought criticism to all senior officers involved. So cowardly they replaced hoodwinks to see nothing but aid those bereft of good moral and unmasonic intentions.
Doc 9 – Demit. [1 page: number 15]
28 December 2009
Doc 9 – Demit. [1 page: number 15]
This document is not in date sequence which is irrelevant but date thereon is important. What the demit date alludes is that Grand Lodge served a summons on me for their rehearing when I was no longer a subscribing member. It also means that Grand Lodge actually suspended me from the Order when I was evidently not a subscribing member as demit predates same. This idiotic outworking is by an inept administration under the supervision of a Grand Registrar.
17 November 2007
Doc 10 – Alan Askin statement [1 page: page 16]
This statement was received on 4 October 2015 and has not been refuted nor challenged.
There are other numerous damning documents on other facets of this tenure of Irish Freemasonry presided by the continuity of the current Grand Secretary and current Grand Master since 2008. The elephants in the room are holding quarterly communications but the membership cannot neither see justice nor wisdom only deceit to Masonic tenets.
To remove uncertainty as to why I hand delivered this correspondence is because you continued to prosecute although I had informed you and your panel members that the summons dated 27 October 2009 was incorrectly served in accordance to Grand Law 35. Being of the legal profession you are well acquainted with the importance of properly serving of papers etc.
The disregard by Rodgers Mathews, Leslie Johnston and David Young and yourself as hearing panel members to attain an appropriate resolve exposes the seeds of corruption of Masonic tenets by those who serve in Grand Lodge. In furtherance to my rebuttal to all allegations at the second Grand Lodge hearing of 7 May 2003 I sought disclosures. One disclosure pertained to the serving of my summons.
Sent to GL 2 June 2013 3:11 PM by email
‘‘I seek disclosure on manner which summons to an accused brother dated 27 October 2009 as served on me.’’
Received from GL 21 June 2013 4:16 PM by email
‘‘I have no idea.’’
This ‘‘I have no idea.’’ answer is contrary to Grand Law 35. It is ridiculous that the Grand Secretary Barry Lyons alleges that he did not know that his assistant Morgan McCreadie had travelled to Belfast to serve various summonses. It is more absurd that Morgan McCreadie had sheepishly spoken to me on my mobile phone the previous evening. Using a false pretence to learn of my absence from home as I was at my holiday house that week eloquently displays the contempt to due process on me. Unbeknown to others whom Morgan visited and lunched the next day he declined an offer to be provided with a lift to my address. Rather than disclose the reason to his luncheon hosts of his Machiavellian errand to Belfast on behalf of the Grand Lodge hearing panel he did not divulge his knowledge that I was away from home. With retrospect understanding of his performance a dog bone would have been sufficient feeding. Another Masonic poodle that belittles himself but exemplifies what is abhorrent to distracters of Freemasonry worldwide.
It is disturbing how salaried officers, paid for by the members, have scant regard to the serving of a summons which is clearly stated in the rules and constitution of Grand Lodge. More perturbing is that the Grand Registrar permits a flawed process and biased case without prima facia material to continue despite having matters brought to his direct attention.
So hence I now fulfil an easy requisite of GL 35 requirement to deliver ‘either personally or by posting a registered letter direct…. at his last known address.’ Accepting this is not a summons but I now perceive you to be a Mason who would question the integrity of having received same.
Mark Twain a renowned freemason is attributed to the adage; ‘‘If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.’’ Let someone in Grand Lodge now commence the process of truth be told rather than place future officers with the burden of maintaining the cover up.
In conclusion, this is not private correspondence. It is also copied to Grand Lodge, my mother lodge Temple 51 and Provincial Grand Lodges etc. As a hearing panel member you had access to all my correspondence to fabricate the allegations and fulfil the desire of senior officers. As Grand Lodge maintains that neither it nor officers have done wrong unto me then the circulation of any material document would support that assertion. Peculiarly that Grand Lodge even forbids discussion and senior officers of all Provinces allege to know nothing. Document 10 also is not private. The subject matter explicitly would vindicate myself and that of Brian and Stewart Hood. As for those directly indentified who remain collectively unvoiced by collective decision by mutual conspiracy on behalf of those who govern, while foolishly hoping that the membership remembers nothing.
What feat will Grand Lodge undertake regarding document 10?
Yours in fraternity,
