If you study freemasonry and history you will see by the events masons have been involved in that the leadership of the order drastically changed their priorities, directions and methods, beginning around 1630 to present, or at least faked history < 1680..

Powerful organizations are always infiltrated by opportunists who wish to abuse the power for themselves, and by their enemies, to destroy them. It is SOP to impune their memory, chiefly to prevent hem from regaining their power, but also to install fake history that favors the usurpers.

It is a child's play to see how the enemies of freemasonry do this, today. Bring sauce or GTFO.

Consider the recent destruction of the great churches by red lodge rogues. If one were to speculate one might imagine that the blue lodge and the red lodge agreed to switch sides around 1900 and again 2000 (and 2100). 1900-2000 the red lodge played eastern "communism" and the blue lodge, western "capitalism". Now they are switching their operating procedures, geographically, to suppress opposition by keeping us off balance. The white lodge referees both color lodges and directly runs the black lodge, their enforcement arm. If one were to imagine.

Masons aren't the only teams on the field.It matters because secret societies are influential at all levels. They are what people from all over the world fled to the New World, and they are what people are running away today. Holodomors, progoms and "economic migration". They keep their dirty laundry to themselves but most of history reflects their activities.
