This kind of rhetoric keeps popping up lately, but I don't think whoever it is, including you, has a damn clue what they're talking about. Washington was a Mason. Many of the Founding Fathers were familiar with what you normalfags call "Occult" (the word means *hidden* and your bland and simple connotations only show how foolish you are). They understood the Mysteries and they practiced them. Some of them were assholes, yeah. Not all of them were great men, or at least as great as History is going to want them to have been, but they understood more than what bottom-feeders who understand far less than they think could hope to know. Washington and his circles noticed and communicated about the Jesuit infestation and it wasn't any secret or anything. Plenty of them knew about it. Even in to Lincoln's time, people, including Lincoln himself, spoke to the "infestation" affecting local lodges and more kinds of systems. Now, back in those days, Masonry wasn't all faggots with dicks in their ass trying to do some spooky asshole magic shit that explaining to any of you would never be worth anything. So maybe I don't blame you for that part. But it wasn't until noses started coming here (kek it wasn't at the beginning of the colonial formations, you buffoon) a bit later on that your ambiguous references even begin to make sense. Were there slave trades and shit? Yeah, sure. But those guys back in those days felt pretty strongly about infestations of the nose variety. Maybe just read even the basics of literature from the era and you'll find the off-putting sentiments that most mentions of the small hats conjured. It's time to read a book, big guy.
