Hitler on Freemasons - 1941
This Youtube video came to my attention, and I thought it interesting that Hitler directly mentions "the conspriacy of Democrats, Jews and Freemasons."
www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd3ZsraeaWA
This got me thinking if Hitler truly did hate Masons so I started looking and came across this news article titled "Nazis and Fascists are engaged in a ruthless campaign aiming at The Annihilation of Freemasonry"
that ran in:
The American Mercury,
Volume LII, No. 206,
published in February 1941.
"There is only one group of men whom the Nazis and the Fascists hate more than the Jews. They are the Freemasons."

Freemasonry and the Great Depression
Freemasonry moves through periods of ups and downs. Like the stock market, there are periods of increases and periods of decreases. Peaks and valleys, plateaus, and depressions, which is normal for any system, especially as nothing remains static, motion is a constant.
Even as Masonry exists in the dimming embers of the post World War II correction period of post war fraternal enthusiasm, I started to ponder another phenomenon that ‘may’ be looming on the horizon, and something completely outside of the corporate body of fraternal control...

Caribou Lodge Grieves with our Bretheren
Phyllis Robena Haines | Visit Guest Book
CARIBOU - Phyllis Robena Haines, 81, beloved wife of Mack D. Haines, died Feb. 2, 2011, at a Caribou health care facility. Phyllis was born May 22, 1929, in Caribou, the only child of the late Stillman and Mildred (Wright) Watson. She grew up on Madawaska Road and attended Wright Country School on Madawaska Road, and graduated from Caribou High School in 1947. Phyllis married Mack D. Haines Nov. 20, 1947, and was a loving wife, devoted mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, who took great pride in raising her children. She was a wonderful role model to her family and will be sadly missed. Phyllis was a great teacher of skills such as cooking, cake decorating, sewing, knitting, crocheting, embroidery, cross-stitching and gardening. She will always be remembered for her homemade potato doughnuts and "fried rarities." Phyllis derived great pleasure from camping in her recreational vehicle in Maine and New Brunswick. After her children were raised, she worked part time for the local television cable companies. Surviving, in addition to her husband of more than 63 years, Mack of Caribou, are her daughter, Peggy Belanger and her husband, Daniel, of Kenduskeag; her sons and their wives, Steven and Helen Haines, Roger and Lynn Haines, Wayne and Carla Haines, and Neal and Elaine Haines, all of Caribou; nine grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews; and sisters-in-law, Norma Haines, Lulu Sharp and her husband, Dale, Gladys Pelletier and her husband, Larry, all of Caribou, Laura Moran of Minnesota, and Shirley Tarbox and husband, Winfield, of Connecticut.
