    They’re a literal secret society. The secrecy leads to all sorts of wild rumors, which just get amplified, altered, and exaggerated over time until you’ve got Reptilian Illuminati trying to conquer the world through subliminal messages being broadcast through tooth fillings via fluoride in the water.

      Every time I hear conspiracy theories about reptilians secretly pulling the strings, I wish so fucking bad that it was true. I’d take that in a heartbeat.

      So recently they opened a Masonic Hall within view of my window and I watch their parties go on many nights of the week. I can definitely confirm there’s a lot of reptiles and subliminal messaging and definitely not just a bunch of old people partying and hanging out.

        I knew/know a Mason, afaik his involvement consisted of drinking beer and fund raising for charities a few hours per month. He’s not a Shriner specifically but a lot of lodges do stuff like that.

        It’s definitely an old boys network though and a bunch of them are on various chambers of commerce and own local businesses and whatnot. I’m pretty sure he became a member strictly for the business connections. If you’re in a smaller area joining a lodge can be a very solid networking opportunity.
