Well I would point more to the Illuminati then Masons. Mostly many of the low level Masons are out of the loop, and the highest orders of Masons above 33rd Degree are the informed.
...when the whitehouse was going under some reconstruction, some stones were found that clearly showed the masonic symbols of the scribe and square, ...
This documentary clearly showed that George Washington himself recruited masons to do various endeavors,
Then there's the "backyard constitution" that the masons had drawn up back in 1723, which clearly shows a parallel with our constitution that is in place for now.
The show that aired on the history channel was called: "Secrets of our Founding Fathers".

Joe, I applaud your honesty, and to be honest with you, you don't sound like anybody who's affiliated with anyone who is a high-ranking member.
The reason I say that is because I know for a fact that one of the big woops in going to the 3rd level is the mocking of the death of Christ at the cross.
Also, just go and google all the legal troubles that the masonic shriners and jestors have gotten into lately. From money laundering to drugs and prostitution.
I know lots of people who are masons, and they are basically wonderful folks, but they haven't gotten a clue as to what their higher ranking brothers are doing at all.
The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the Temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to the Initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations.SNIP

"The “Blue Degrees” represent the outer part of Freemasonry meaning Masons in the first three degrees are not privy to any deep Mysteries. In fact, the candidates are lied to or deceived into believing false interpretations. The great Albert Pike, Grand Commander, confirmed this in his book Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. He states: “The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the Temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to the Initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them; but it is intended that he shall imagine he understands them. Their true explanation is reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of Masonry (p. 819).”
