Let me say that I do not believe Jack the Ripper was a Mason any more than I believe Crowley's claims that it was Blavatsky. However, I belong to a site for the serious study of Jack the Ripper, where was posted today the following (author's name removed by myself): "I posted this video link re Princess Diana's murder as it mentions quite a bit about the Masons and their rituals. Many members of the royal family in the past were members of the Masons as well as many members of the current royals. In the time of Jack the Ripper, Michael Maybrick was a 33rd degree Mason and a very good friend of the then royal family - Queen Victoria and Bertie, the Prince of Wales. I still believe Michael Maybrick was of great service and duty to the crown in connection with the case of Jack the Ripper, particularly since his brother, James, was Jack. **** London ---- **** wrote: LADY DIE - FILM OF THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ASSASSINATION OF HRH, PRINCESS DIANA - 23 Parts www.youtube. com/watch? v=MZhnkoadHQo <http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=MZhnkoadHQo>" Of course, I pointed out the errors with the largely-discredited Maybrick theory and the possibility his wife Florence may have been the killer, though I do not believe either of them are likely candidates. I also pointed out some of the errors in the documentary in relation to the Freemasons.

The enquiring mind is a very potent force. Is it possible that a man with a thirst for knowledge could do the things that some say this Jack the Ripper did, yes I believe that is possible. The Whitchapel murders - 1888. Lets have a look around before and during this period of history. Between August and November 1888 506 women were murdered in London’s Whitechapel district. It is difficult to believe they were all victims of the one Killer. This seems to be a very large number of murders. If my memory serves me right the officials have never accepted that this series of murders were actually connected. British Capt. Luke Collingwood, commander of the slave ship Zong, in the face of endemic dysentery that had already killed 7 crewmen and 60 of 470 slaves, ordered his crew to throw sick slaves overboard in order to claim insurance money at the end of the voyage. Over 100 slaves were cast overboard. In 2007 Marcus Rediker authored “The Slave Ship,” an account of this and the slave trade from 1700-1808. The Burke and Hare murders (also known as the West Port murders) were serial murders perpetrated in Edinburgh, Scotland, from November 1827 to 31 October 1828. The killings were attributed to Irish immigrants William Burke and William Hare, who sold the corpses of their 17 victims to provide material for dissection. So we see that unimaginable violence was not so uncommon. So with regard to a Masonic connection, if no one can agree if there was a Jack the Ripper let alone who he was and which victims were a part of this carnage, it seems of little consequence if he were or were not a Freemason. Is it possible, yes everything is possible. It is possible that Leo will call round my house tonight and give me £50,000 in cash, but is it likely

Burke and Hare were interesting, as was Dr. Cream (who claimed the JTR murders, yet was in a Canadian prison when the murders occured). Is it possible it was a Masonic conspiracy? Absolutely. As you said, the JTR murders were not unique in their violence nor brutality. They mainly were good for headlines, and you bring up some good points. The most likely culprit was not a Mason and continued to kill, or so it seems, after he left England.

Its interesting that there are two things that Ive heard that set off rumors of a Masonic connection. One was the writing scrawled on the wall of an alley/murder scene in White Chapel. It was: "The Jewes are the ones who will not be blamed for nothing." For some reason that triggered suspicions of Masonry. The other was that some of the scenes/bodies had evidence that might have a connection to Masonic ritual. More I shall not say without violating obligation but I believe those initiated passed and raised among us will understand to what I am referring.

James Maybrick wasn't Jack the Ripper, any more than Francis Tumblety was. What he was was a self-aggrandizing pr!ck!
