* (en) Only one power has not allowed itself to be deceived, the Catholic Church. She is the inexorable enemy of all Masonry. It is certainly known to you that any Catholic is automatically excommunicated the moment he becomes a Mason. The Church knows very well why she is so inexorable. She herself works on Masonic principles; her religious Orders, in particular the Jesuits, are nothing more nor less than powerful lodges of the Catholic Church. She knows what she has herself achieved with this system and will suffer no opposition lodge, using every means to prevent her sheep from straying into it. One cannot be misled by the explanation that the Church is against the Masons because they pay hommage to liberal ideas. By now, these ideas have made such progress even inside the Catholic Church that warnings and prohibitions ont that account are out of place. The inexorable stand of the Catholic Church against Masonry is the best proof of how accurately we have summed it up. Only the foolish Evangelical parsons have still not realized what is at stake. They join the Masons without realizing that they are digging their own graves.

Felix Kersten : Mais vos SS ne sont-ils pas une sorte de loge maçonnique, Herr Reichsfûhrer? Heinrich Himmler : Comment pouvez-vous dire une telle chose? Avons-nous des chefs inconnus ou un système de grades maçonniques? La SS est un ordre avec des chefs connus et des objectifs qui sont ouvertement affirmés. Il s'agit de la forme d'association germanique pour des hommes qui ont fait le serment de servir de hauts desseins. S'il vous faut faire une comparaison, faites-le avec les chevaliers teutoniques dont les objectifs étaient la défense contre l'est.
* (en) Felix Kersten : But aren't your SS really a sort of Masonic lodge, Herr Reichsfûhrer? Heinrich Himmler : How can you say such a thing? Have we unknown leaders or a system of Masonic grades? The SS es an Order withe leaders who are known and objectives that are openly stated. It is the Germanic form of association for men who are pledging themselves to hight aim. If you must make a comparison, then make it with the Germanic knights whose objective was defence against the East.

* (en) First of all it's wonderful propaganda for the Masonic idea. If the royal house belongs to a lodge, then it is respectable in the eyes of the broad masses, the propertied and the educated classes. All doubts are at once silenced. The Masons no longer need to defend themselves, but only point to the king, their brother Mason. Is any individual going to be more clever than his king? Such membership automatically attracts all those whom the Masons particularly want, influential officials and politicians. Without any need for further action they have won over leading political and industrial figures to Masonry. The Masonic lodge now becomes the centre of social life with riotous banquets and celebrations for the king's or prince's birthday. It all seems like a great national and social club; cheap wining and dining offer no small attraction to the official unblessed with this world's goods.

* (en) Meanwhile however the Masons are quietly and systematically extending their influence; lectures are given on themes dear to Masons; prominent scientists are won over; links are forged with other lodges and the desired result is achievede; at first neutrality, then union with World Masonry. It will perhaps surprise you to learn that the higher grades of this lodge are duplicated. Beside the Grand Master, needed as an advertisement, there is a man never seen who really occupies a far highter position in World Masonry, using and directing this "sadow system" in a masterly way.

Felix Kersten : Croyez-vous vraiment, Herr Himmler, qu'il y a un petit groupe de maçons de haut-rang derrière chaque évênement politique et économique, tenant régulièrement leurs réunions secrètes au cours de laquelle ils prennent des décisions concernant la guerre et la paix, des décisions qui affectent l'histoire des peuples et des gouvernement? Vos hommes au département maçonnique m'ont expliqué quelque chose de semblable et avaient l'air d'y croire. Heinrich Himmler : je n'y crois pas seulement, Herr Kersten, je le sais.
* (en) Felix Kersten : Do you really believe, Herr Himmler, that there is a small group of high-grade Masons behind every political and economic event, regularly holding their secret meetings at which they make decisions involving peace and war, decisions affecting the history of peoples and governments? Your men in the Masonic Department said something like that to me and even seemed to believe it. Heinrich Himmler : I not only believe it, herr Kersten, I know it.

* (en) (...) of course i can't put the criminal's confession on the table before you with his own signature to it. To get a clear picture you must examine the activities of the Masons in the last two centuries under the microscope. Then you can confirm this: leading Masons had a part in the overthrow of every governement: They had a hand in every severe financial crisis which has brought the economy of a country to the edge of the abyss. Masons occupy the important positions in the economic and intellectual life on a country and draw other Masons after them. The decisive men who waged the First World War against us were Masons. The Second World War again finds World Masonry united against us. In some Anglo-Saxon countries it's quite impossible to achieve any position in industry or politics unless you're a Mason. Arent't these proofs enough (...)?

* (en) For him there is no such thing as "The Economy". He begins to rave if anyone speaks to him of the immutable laws of economics. For him "economics" is Herr Flick, Herr Stinnes, Herr Krupp or Herr Thyssen. His immediate answer is always, "very well, what does Herr Krupp or Herr Stinnes want?" He thinks that almost every important man is controlled by anonymous forces behind him and is the exponent ot these forces. His mind and his conduct is wholly set on finding out who handles those controls. He puts his information service on to this, making them draw great charts to depict the various influences graphically. (...) The sphere of industry, with all its ramifications and market agreements, offers great opportunities for this.

* (en) (...) the Reichsführer has adapted what he regards as his enemies method and the basis of their power and has turned it to logical use as the basis of their power and has turned it to logical use as the basis of the dominant position occupied in the state by the SS. From this point of view the SS is nothing but an anti-Masonry -though the Reichsführer does not admit it- with whose help, and without attracting attention, he is trying to occupy the leading positions in the Governement and the Party. The whole system of conferring uniforms and ranks on the so-called "honorary leaders" can only be grasped from this standpoint.
