He evidently hasn't watched OFFICE SPACE, or he'd get the joke with the Darth Vader/Bill Lumbergh mash-up.

It's troulesome cuz they decide who wins the superbowl, and the oscars, and other important stuff like that. Also, probablye chemtrails!

And while they do meet to fuck over everyone, it's not in a reptilian kind of way, but more of a "let's see if we can get them to work harder for even less money" kind of way.

Which, oddly enough, is seen as "good business," yet when workers get together to try and improve their lot it's "evil." I guess it sucks that the crazies have accurately labeled certain people as detrimental to humanity, but they've done so for completely made-up reasons.

Alls I'm saying is that the rich and powerful will have those kinds of discussions anyway, regardless of whether or not they're members of one specific fruity supper club that happens to drive conspiracy theorists bonkers.

We are a slightly eccentric supper club, yes. Rich and powerful, no. Currently it's more or less a pass that allows Social Security recipients a way to have a free dinner every night of the week if they're sufficiently sociable. I realize that this may one day be very vital to my existence, andgot on board.

Yeah, the Masons are eccentric, but they aren't that rich, or that powerful. My family's been in the Masons for generations, and the only thing we've got out of it is a small island in the South Pacific and the power to turn invisible at will.

Of course, conspiracy theorists will generally tell you, ah, yes, maybe YOU aren't that powerful, but that's only because you're not high enough in the organization to see what's REALLY going on! Well, I spent ten years sealed within the Tomb of the Grail, defending the Blood of Christ against nosey adventurers, so if that ain't enough to get an inside look at Masonry, I don't know what is.

Masons aren't even eccentric, they're middle class white people who exclude women and in some places, like Kenfucky, do a lot for charity. Of all my friends who grew up to get jobs fucking over poor people, the one who became a Mason did not.

What about the Rainbow Girls?

It's really great to get the Rainbow Girls and the Job's Daughters in a single room and make them compete for your charity dollars.

Job's Daughters wins EVERY TIME.

That's cuz they're skanks.

Okay, "excludes women" was not entirely accurate. Apparently "grossly segregates women" is the soup du cult.

Actually, there's a very good reason for that. The third Grand Master of England was a 26 year old aristocrat playboy who seduced the wives of everyone in his lodge. The dude was drummed out and the organization could've been ended then and there, as he had taken all the funds of UGLE with him. So the no-women rule was devised to prevent it from ever happening again, and then Oscar Wilde joins and it's all downhill from ther.e

Well, they exclude grown-up women. Jailbait, however, is fair game for Masons.
