I don't deny that many individual masons are good people. Any more than I deny that their charities are very generous. It's just that the fortunes that spawn such generosity may well include a certain amount of insider-preference business creation that is the low order corruption I intend. And such low order corruptions can be careless of greater damages to wider society

I believe JaP wrote about the privatisation of welfare under the guise of charity. It is all very well caring for widows and orphans and even fluffy kittens, but such sentiments are very poor antennae for finding the greatest needs in society.

A suggestion that a taking advantage of the opportunities for low-order corruption in masonic lodges is endemic isn't quite the same thing as distributing the Protocols of the Elders of Sion, or even the Priory of Sion.

Simply saying that people do a lot of business in lodges that freezes out non-masons, particularly women, ain't quite at the level of saying there is a worldwide conspiracy to channel babies for shape-shifting Lizard people's feasts.

there must have a been something of a case to answer because of a rash of masonic related outrages that spilled over the investigatory pages of Private eye and even onto television especially during the late 70s and early 80s, not least  the John Poulson affair (yes I know it was a 60s thing, but a lot of the fallout happened 10 years later), after which a Parliamentary Inquiry in Britain resulted in Freemasonry becoming a declarable interest in public employment, especially in the Judicial System and Police.

Sadly, a lot of this is pre-internet and not searchable
