"We have torn up Marxist materialism and we have disorientated Masonry. We have thwarted the Satanic machinations of the clandestine Masonic superstate.

“We strive to form a single national front against the Masonic lodges, against Moscow and the Marxist societies.”

“The whole secret of the campaigns unleashed against Spain can be explained in two words: Masonry and Communism... we have to extirpate these two evils from our land.”

“The defence of internal peace and order constitutes the sacred mission of a nation's armed forces and that is what we have carried out.”
