In the south free masons are a cover name for KKK. Of course I don’t have proof other than my brother in law whos a free mason gets all defensive when I mention this. Additionally there are secret societies inside free mason.. and how would someone be able to disprove this if these extra layers are secret?
I’ll leave you with this.. lol.
you are forgetting the Freemasons isnt a single organisation.. You should see them as chapters, or orders.
These orders hold hands over each other's heads, but also struggle for power.
For example, Bill Gates is part of the Rosicrucian's. They want freedom of information flows.
Dutch king is member of a shit ton of orders, for example order of Nassau, order of Malta, and many many more. The order of Nassau would be to 'control' the Dutch related stuff.
So there is overlap. And each order is having their own.. Ehm.. Vision? What ever you mc Call it.
So having a masonic order with KKK tendencies, sure, why not? Symbolism is there.
On the other hand, Rothschild's are in the order of Nassau.
And I believe like every fucking state of America has orders... I'm betting there's an order for many different big cities. Continental orders.
Having a masonic order where only women empowerment is the goal? Sure why not. Celestial sisters.
And don't forget... In theory, every idiot can start an order.. (WEF for example). As long as you can drum up enough people, inspire them, and conspire together.. In theory, you are an order... And if other orders accept you, you become legit... Most of the time, this goes along with a sacrifice or a significant power grasp.
Not every order has the same level of power... It's boss over boss. Dog-eat-dog.
The only difference here is they all have... Or let's say hold certain information that could be impactful. Simple example, when Captain Jack Sparrow got caught, he requested a Parlez (or Parlez vous) thus creating a momentum for a win, they can do the same. A complex example would be, the handshake or certain symbolism would tell if it's a trustworthy person or not.
And another example is the Oak Island series, where normally the door would be shut, with an introduction from an American order the Italian order would open its otherwise closed door. So otherwise sealed information would become accessible. Thus giving an advantage.
There's weirdly enough more politics and diplomacy in the secret society over the real politics.
As above, so below, in other words. Within the orders, you will see the same power struggles and secrecy (toward lower ranked members, for example).
