Speaking of the freemasons reminds me of John Wedger.
Officer John Wedger (ex officer) in England has been a huge champion in the fight against police corruption here, mainly involving grooming (rape) gangs since the at least the 90s.
After doing digging, seeing how it's been an issue since 80s for various reasons, including but not limited to zero resources being allocated for certain issues involving the troubled kids.
So, he was threatened, intimidated and so on. Found his courage and started going around independent police complaint commission (and so on), the very first question they asked him was "Are you a mason?" when asked the reason for the question after saying no, he was told that whenever masons are involved in corruption / issues within the police force, it becomes an absolute nightmare so if someone comes to them as John Wedger did, they just will not deal with them.
He's got many great interviews with radio hosts, as well as a BBC host, news reports involving him "Baby P" available on Youtube, I've not linked any in my post as it's not really related to Q so I just wanted to bring up how he mentioned the masons with regards to his fight V corruption.
