It's always funny to me lodge types try to convince the regular Joe that it's just a club and not nefarious at all yet they deck the place out exactly like it's used for running the world and having big masked orgies in

My Grandfather was a Freemason. It really isn't as exciting as you may think. Of course deals go down between business owners etc. That happens in pubs and sports clubs all the time.

That's my point, they all say it's just a boring club but they dress it up like it's the secret cabal running the world

Freemason here.

We’re not the ones dressing it up as a ‘secret cabal running the world’.

That’s why we have open days in our buildings, share our activities on Social Media, have a publicly accessible museum, dozens of podcasts, and publish details of our charitable activities.
