Although considered by some a repressive regime, Cuba is probably the only dictatorial country where Freemasonry is an accepted part of society. The Grand Lodge of Cuba was constituted on 5 December 1859 and today comprises 319 Lodges, 73 in Havanna, as well as Lodges in Florida, Jamaica, Trinidad, and at least three in Guántanamo.
Rumours that Che Guevara and Fidel Castro were Freemasons are unlikely to be based in truth.

The Most Ancient Order of Suastuca (Brotherhood of the Mystic Cross) is a secret society akin to Freemasonry and indigenous to China said to have been founded in 1027 BCE and introduced into China in 975 BCE. It works three Degrees: Apprentice Brother; Tao Sze (Doctors of Reason); Grand Master. The meetings are referred to as Tents rather than Lodges.

The Latin register of William Molart, prior of Canterbury, records a 'respectable Lodge' being called in 1429 under the patronage of Henry Chichely, the Archbishop of Canterbury, comprising Thomas Stapylton as Master, John Morris as Warden, fifteen Fellow Craft and three Entered Apprentice Masons, all named. Chichely is claimed to have been Grand Master of English Masons until 1443.

🧭 Freimaurerei von außen betrachtet
„Geheimbund? Verschwörung? Oder etwas anderes?“
Der YouTuber Tomatolix hat einen Tag mit Freimaurern verbracht, um das herauszufinden. Entstanden ist ein Einblick in eine Welt, über die viel gesprochen wird, aber die nur wenige kennen.
Wer hinschaut, merkt schnell, dass hinter vielen Mythen vor allem eines steht – Menschen, die an sich arbeiten und Verantwortung übernehmen.
The chisel, in the American Rite, is one of the tools of the Mark Master, and symbolises the effects of education on the human mind. For as the artist, by the aid of this instrument, gives form and regularity to the shapeless mass of stone, so education, by cultivating the ideas and by polishing the thoughts, transforms the ignorant savage into a civilised being.
Albert G Mackay.

Freimaurerstraßen in Bremen
Salvador Allende (1908–1973) war Arzt, Sozialist und Präsident Chiles. Bis heute gilt er als eine der prägenden politischen Persönlichkeiten Lateinamerikas. Allende war auch Freimaurer. Seine maurerische Laufbahn begann 1935 in der Loge „Progreso Nr. 4“ in Valparaíso.
Dass sein Name auch in Bremen präsent ist, zeigt die Salvador-Allende-Straße im Ostertor.
"The principles of Freemasonry preceded the advent of Christianity. Its symbols and its legends are derived from the Solomonic temple and from the people even anterior to that. Its religion comes from the ancient priesthood; its faith was that primitive one of Noah and his immediate descendents."
Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, Mackay revised Clegg 1909 / 1955.
