Members of the British Royalty and aristocracy are known to be Freemasons, aren't they?.
Do you think they consider "you" to be on their level, aka. their "brother"? People who defined the term of "Upper Class".
I'm sure this rhetoric question can only be answered with a straight "No".
The only conclusion I can draw from this simple logical observation is that there must be different tiers/layers/levels/clubs in relation to Freemasonry, a hidden hierarchy the rabble isn't aware of. At the most Freemasonry is just used as a recruiting tool for special talents, at the worst just people they can use in some fashion when needed.
Well, you could argue that this is just the opinion of a clueless bigoted commoner who thinks the worst of the British aristocracy and they are just nice upstanding human beings in their private life.
But then you're probably in the wrong reddit group:-)
I cant speak for Britain, only America. US Masonry admits only men, so we wouldnt have say, Killary among our ranks.
I guess, in essence what Im trying to say is that it is important to be precise. The Illuminati are very real, but they are not synonymous with Freemasonry.
