I'm not a Secret Societies expert (but I play one on TV):
What if the Truth is that there is no Masonic conspiracy?
There is the root of the problem in my humble opinion.
You must start off with a pre-determined conclusion claiming to be all knowing about every masonic activity and secret since the beginning of it's existence to arrive at such a conclusion.
It is the height of arrogance and hubris.
Who died and made any member of your organisation the final arbiter of what the truth is? What right do you have to make it your mission to browbeat someone else into accepting your truth?
What if the truth is that Oswald acted alone and the magic bullet theory is 100% correct?
What if the truth is that UFOs don't exist?
What if the truth is that ghosts don't exists?
What if the truth is that all paranormal activity is just someone's active imagination?
What if the truth is that the CIA stands of for "Truth, Justice and the American Way"?
What if the truth is that Governments are only looking out for you and me?
What if the truth is that Central Banking is a government institution looking out for our best interest?
What if the truth is that some cave dweller co-ordinated 19 fanatics armed only with box cutters to get past the best military defenses in the world and bring a country to it's knees for a couple of days?
Are you starting to get the picture or shall I go on?

"...there is much more to Freemasonry than that. Ritual. What we call Degrees."
I think it's the secrecy surrounding Masonic rites that causes distrust by non-Masons. If Masons are doing good things (charity work, etc.), why the need for secrecy? There's *gotta* be something bad going on! That's the mentality.
