Regarding Mason behavior: Recently, I had an interaction with a 32nd level Mason who was aware of Q and knew some important things, but not most of Q. He has stopped wearing his Masonic ring because of the possibility the high level Masons are involved.
The location of his (US-based) lodge is not in one of the hot-spots of corruption - that's all I'm going to say about location.
This reaction of a 32nd level mason tells me that not all 32nd Masons are corrupt. His behavior was genuine and he was genuinely interested in conversation about the possibility of corruption and how to tell if it exists. He was genuinely concerned.
Sounds to me like Q's mention of Masons is an attempt to disrupt the massive hierarchy beneath the high-level criminals in the Masons.
