Under Grand Lodge summons I attended to a charge of unmasonic conduct on two occasions, November 2009 and June 2013. Both hearings apparently conducted in accordance to Grand Lodge policy and procedures and the whole process was clearly a judicial one as stated in Grand Lodge documentation. Accordingly, the final hearing should strictly comply with procedures that meet the requirements of a fair hearing. [Article 2.1 issued by GL 13 Sept 2012]
On 27 April 2009 I sought an answer to a simple question but it was not answered. The question remains as valid now as it did then, ‘What assurance can you give to me, that I will receive a fair hearing in Grand Lodge.’ Obviously you did not answer as you knew fairness and truth was not on the agenda of Grand Lodge. But now, let’s get fair and let truth prevail.
With High Court proceedings now concluded and the subsequent discoveries attained from Grand Lodge on same I or someone on my behalf will present a charge of unmasonic conduct against the current Grand Master. During his tenure as Deputy Grand Master Douglas T Grey presided and directed over matters which resulted in my membership being suspended and my character sullied.
His authority while in office directed a Malicious Prosecution on me despite him being fully conversant to detailed relevant and pertinent material facts. In addition his position as chair of the Grand Lodge Grievance Committee enhanced the opportunity to manipulate gratuitous action on me under the pretext of Grand Law 35.
The course that followed need never have occurred if a fair hearing on 30 March 2009 in Newry with Provincial Antrim Officers had been held. There was no fair hearing in Newry as no one was there to represent me or express my concurrence to the Provincial Grand Lodge Antrim Grievance Committee findings. Yet at the conclusion of this Newry venue kangaroo court arrangement, a prima facie case was allegedly established to enable an immediate prohibition. Nor was natural justice applied anytime thereafter as the Deputy Grand Master could have interceded and stopped the flawed process. Nolle prosequi is the only judicial ruling which would have been procedurally correct in conjunction with the Null and Void decree.
The previous Grand Registrar and current Grand Registrar have both been involved with my prosecution. Also implicated with my prosecution are some current Grand Lodge Board members and all must be removed from participation in progressing a charge on unmasonic conduct pertaining to the Grand Master. Natural justice will and can enable matters to progress without bias.
The vexatious outcome, of a Grand Masters publicly directed Emergency Meeting was announced as Null and Void but the self same perpetrators of the abhorrence extolled at an Antrim Board are given specific instruction to the methodology in how to continue. Grand Lodge Null and Voids an outcome of an Emergency Meeting and yet Grand Lodge instructs Antrim Officers on how to thwart Grand Laws. Subsequently the perpetrators are later then proved guilty but Grand Lodge continued with Machiavellian motive on me while manipulating and concealing what content which was to be presented to the general membership.
I or someone on my behalf will present bone fide evidence and material as listed above, which was gleaned from High Court trial bundles, or documents used from Masonic forums. It was given under oath at High Court hearings that the Laws and Constitution has no provision for an appeal to a prohibition order. This indeed is neither fair nor does it equate to the process of natural justice. Also the edict of no discussion to stop truth being aired at any Masonic boards was not fair as the Antrim Officers, who were subsequently found guilty, had no edict imposed on them to prevent them peddling deceit to many audience’s.
Nor does the Grand Lodge Grievance Committee find any expression in the rules of Grand Lodge but it applied an extraneous influence on a Grand Lodge hearing subcommittee report to the Grand Lodge Board. Again this was not fair as no one represented me at the Board nor was natural justice involved in setting the tariff of punishment. I understand this irregular committee has now been dissolved due to the legal court hearing highlighting its transgressions and deviant nature.
Furthermore, the transcript of High Court proceedings clearly sets out that in Newry on 30 March 2009 that those officers present had amongst themselves settled to Null and Void their infamous meeting of 18 March 2009. However, all those who conspired also left with a new proposed course of action to victimise, persecute and prosecute myself and others. Again, that was not fair as no one represented me nor was any consideration afforded to natural justice.
I also have a testimony by a Past Provincial Officer to comments aired against me after the laying of the foundation dedication ceremony of Portrush Hall. His written account expands to numerous discussions when I, Brian and Stewart Hood are to be pursued as we are deemed a nuisance to Order. These meetings by Senior Officers to conspire against me in combination with the Provincial Grand Lodge Antrim Grievance Committee report findings, which was known beforehand to the Deputy Grand Master in Newry, unambiguously states that no charge was laid during the Kangaroo Court on 18 March 2009. This proof alone exposes that clandestine purpose that was being progressed. All subsequent Masonic action from 30 March 2009 against me was malicious and therefore a fair hearing was never on the agenda. Nor specifically the influential Grand Lodge Grievance Committee / Steering Committee chaired by the self same Deputy Grand Master as he would be instrumental to the continuance of this malicious prosecution.
I hope for Freemasonry worldwide that Officers in Grand Lodge will take moral courage, enact honest governance to expedite resolve upon the misdirection by Douglas T Grey, the Deputy Grand Master on 30 March 2009. If the Deputy Grand Masters consideration was not misdirection then his deliberation to prosecute was malicious, which is unmasonic.
Please advise what manner you desire this due and timely notice of the aforementioned preparation on charge. The engagement or the appointing of external mediation or arbitration I have never objected upon. Failure to keep issues in house and wholly conclude matters will invariably lead to public enquiry. I still advocate the teachings of the plumb line and Freemasonry in general should be seen to be bigger than any one member.
All evidence and material as identified above are from High Court trial bundles or documents used at various Masonic forums. Also numerous documents from Lodges and individuals sent to Grand Lodge and copied to myself for use if required will be available for verification.
I still wait for Grand Lodge to provide me with demit or clearance certificate. Aggravated punishment is not fair. The victimisation of an unattached brother is not fair. Truth not told deprived the Order of a fair hearing.
Yours in fraternity,
W Bro R Wilson (Unattached IC)
