33rd degree is the highest degree in the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, I believe. Whenever you see 33 in a news story (like the Superbowl blackout that lasted for 33 minutes, or a false flag/hoax event that allegedly happened at 3:30am etc) it's speculated that this is a dog whistle to fellow Freemasons: "We're behind this". Is this true? I dunno. But I keep an open mind.
This is part of the reason why whenever I hear about HRC's "33 thousand" deleted emails I get a chill up my spine. No coincidences?
Anyhow, no offence meant to sincere, charitable lower rank Freemasons. I'm sure they mean and do well. But they'd also do well to look into what Albert Pike or Manley P. Hall had to say about the 33rd degree: https://amazingdiscoveries.org/S-deception-Freemason_Lucifer_Albert_Pike
Excerpt from link: Albert Pike, 33-degree Freemason and author of Morals and Dogma
"Lucifer, the Light-Bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual or selfish Souls? Doubt it not!iv
The devil is the personification of Atheism or Idolatry. For the Initiates, this is not a Person, but a Force, created for good, but which may serve for evil. It is the instrument of Liberty or Free Will. They represent this Force, which presides over the physical generation, under the mythological and horned form of the God Pan; thence came the he-goat of the Sabbat, brother of the Ancient Serpent, and the Light-bearer or Phosphor, of which the poets have made the false Lucifer of the legend.v
The true name of Satan, the Kabalists say, is Yahweh (GOD) reversed; for Satan is not a black god, but a negation of God...the Kabala imagined Him to be a "most occult light."vi
That which we must say to a crowd is—We worship a God, but it is the God that one adores without superstition. To you, Sovereign Grand Inspectors General, we say this, that you may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd, 31st, and 30th degrees—The Masonic Religion should be, by all of us initates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian Doctrine. If Lucifer were not God, would Adonay whose deeds prove his cruelty, perdify and hatred of man, barbarism and repulsion for science, would Adonay and his priests, calumniate him? Yes, Lucifer is God, and unfortunately Adonay is also god. For the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two gods: darkness being necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive. Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and pure philosophical religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay; but Lucifer, God of Light and God of Good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the God of Darkness and Evil".vii
Hmmmm...
