It is pretty interesting that the Free Masons exist there as well. Even in small towns in the Midwest United States people will be apart of the Free Masons. It is all very confusing and I was at a funeral once and the Free Masons came and gave a speech at the funeral. Myself and my parents were very confused by what it was all about.
I just assume that on a low level it is made to extract money out of the followers.
The freemasons are everywhere...every president and every prime minister either is one, or is controlled by them. They dont need to extract money, they are the ones printing it! But the low level ones are probably clueless.
