Beyond factions and partisan stances, and also beyond countries, histories, and jurisdictions, what ultimately matters, as Freemasons teach us, is belonging to the same back office. And, from the late 1960s onward, the Three Eyes Lodge is the back office. The most active and fearsome. Together with the Edmund Burke Lodge, it organizes the coup d'état by the colonels (Freemasons and reactionaries) in Greece, supports General Francisco Franco (a reactionary and friend of reactionary Freemasons, as well as a persecutor of liberal democratic brethren) in Spain, backs the dictatorship of António de Oliveira Salazar (a Freemason and reactionary) in Portugal, and applauds the repression of the Prague Spring by reactionary Soviet and Czechoslovak Freemasons affiliated with the Ur-Lodge Joseph de Maistre. In Latin America, he assists the leaders of the ruthless military (and Masonic) dictatorships resulting from what was known as Operation Condor. In communist China, when it had not yet opened up to the West, he manages to recruit Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping, with whom he begins to divide (as early as the 1970s!) areas of political influence and lucrative business deals.
