Last night I met a guy at Halloween party who told me he was a Free Mason. He was hilarious and fit right in with my friend group. Upon asking him what the Free Masons are he just said “basically we’re a bunch of dudes who get together for pancakes on Saturday.”
I’ve also heard conspiracies about the group in the past, and I even had an ex coworker once tell me the Free Masons were a cult and were out to get him.
Anyone have any insights? The internet is not very helpful.
I don't think this is generally true of the Masons as a whole, but a sub-lodge, Propaganda Due (how's that for on the nose...), was used to do some pretty nefarious stuff during Operation Gladio
