re: #119 Obdicut
The massive anti-semitism of many public figures tends to be glossed over when creating these conspiracy stories.
Sergey let me know that the Masons are supposedly a secret Jewish cabal. I’m not even sure if they accept Jewish members— they probably do— but they’re rather obviously overwhelmingly historically white.
I tried to Google about Jewish masons, but you can imagine what came up…
So I don’t know, but I expect they do let Jews in. They’re sort of generically theistic, but not interested in specific theology, IIRC. When my Dad was a kid, I think they still didn’t let Catholics in—they wouldn’t let him be a DeMolay boy because he was Catholic, although my granddad (Protestant) was a Mason all his life.
