any and all information you have about Freemasonry, please share
preferably from personal or secondhand experience- I could google something from Rense.com myself. Are you in the freemasons? if so, what's it like? Are there any social/career advantages to being one?

1. Personally, I think they're a bunch of idiots
My father was a 32nd Degree Mason, the 2nd highest you can be, and a state officer. Several presidents were Masons, such as Gerald Ford.

They are pledged to always help each other. Came in Handy in my youth when I had a brush or two with the law, and the judges were Masons.

But, from a few others I knew and worked with, No way could these guys ever be involved in the conspiracies they're accused in. The Keystone Kops had more on the ball.

2. From what I've read, I think they're pretty weird
My grandfather was a Mason, but he died before I was born.

The most I ever learned about them was by reading, "War and Peace".

4. Most masons have no idea the power the elite Masons wield...
Washington DC was designed with Masonic imagery in mind.

All the founding fathers were Masons...
