Can someone tell me? I seriously just don’t know anything about them except that it’s a society that’s secretive.

    for instance Liberia was practically run from the masonic lodge in Monrovia for decades.

      The Grand Lodge of Liberia was founded in 1867. By the 1970s there were 17 subordinate lodges and the majority of Liberia's high-ranking officials were Masons. Matters of state were widely believed to have been decided from within the lodges. Being a Mason was a veritable prerequisite for positions of political leadership in the True Whig Party. Liberia's Masons were criticized for their influence as well as for the exclusion of indigenous Liberians from their ranks.
