And who are these Masonic elites? If you really believe this, I wonder about the evidence you have.
Masonic elite? Well, I belong to an invitational group that 0.3% of Masons belong to...no sex.

Well, we ask for evidence and we get "well, you're not high enough" or "it's reserved for the elite". While I don't want to sound arrogant, I'm a member of many Masonic groups that very few are members of and yet no sexual rituals. I mean, you guys make all of these claims and yet you cannot identify what body it happens in as well give us any ritual as to the specifics of this ritualistic sex in Masonry.

In the Ritual from EWS, it is important to note that atop the throne seat that the grand master presiding over the ritual sits, is a double headed eagle donning a crown. A very familiar symbol to the 33rd Degree Freemason.

Actually, that looks like two turtles with a crown.
Did you seriously make a connection to freemasonry based solely on the fact that there was ritual?
Keep an open mind, but not so open, what's left of your brains fall out.
THE WATERHOUSE REPORT BIGGEST MASONIC CHILD ABUSE COVER-UP IN UK HISTORY!!! A Public Tribunal heard damning evidence of how a number of children's homes supplied a paedophile ring over a 20 year period!!! Hundreds of children were subjected to physical and sexual abuse (rape), by those who were entrusted with their welfare. Policemen, church ministers, local authority executives, senior businessmen and politicians, have been identified.

Am I to just assume that this is all just some colorful coincidence, by one of the most meticulous directors of our time, who oversees the development of his projects to their fruition, all the lines of evidence, moot?

Maybe, maybe not. Perhaps Kubrick subtle nuances in the film, maybe we are all just reading too much into it. What I always take away from this film is that it is a work of fiction and not a documentary on some some secret group.

How many times before a coincidence becomes a pattern, a pattern becomes a predictive outcome, a predictive outcome becomes a paranoid schizophrenic because he cared to follow the yarn to its utmost end? These are not just isolated incidents. I appreciate your curiousity and trust me I've caught myself delving deeper than need be, but it's the kind of people that tell you you're paranoid that are the same ones that do 0 research into the subjects whatsoever.
It certainly doesn't help however that the oaths of the lodge require strict adherence and loyalty between the brotherhood, regardless of other obligations.
The way I see it you can by two routes, you can, as most people sadly do, think that history is an amalgam of completely chaotic events irrespective of human agency.
And I'd just like to reiterate that not being privy to these events is not evidence to their non existence.
The attire of the alligators from Fantasia. Curious, red cloaks.

The catholic church is a good metaphor for this same issue of hierarchy and secrecy.
I don't expect you or anyone who isn't a mason to know how silly these accusation are with regards to masonry. But in respect to the children that were affected by this, I am curious to know the outcome. Were any masons truly involved? What proof was brought and how have the guilty been punished?

But where does diving deeper into Eyes Wide Shut lead you? Nowhere. What secret society do we find at the end of the yarn? Not one that exists in reality. At the end of the day it is just a cinematic endeavor that, in my opinion, was not even that good, and has no bearing on anyone's life unless they choose to allow it to have some.

That is patently false and I have posted images from my own ritual cipher on this site that prove otherwise.

History is certainly influenced by human activity and the seemingly random may have had its genesis in actions that initially seem far removed. This does not however make all or most of history part of a grand conspiracy.

...and left...more than just clues, blatant symbols that would lead one to the discovery of certain aspects of the Freemasonic underground .
Why is this so hard for people to understand, people conspire all the time, its in like interest to do so.
I really can't do anything more to convince anyone that this has a real significance about it, at the end of the day no matter how convincing or goliath the sum of evidence, people will hunker down in their respective ideology bunkers and defend the gates of their respective dogmas, for a multitude of reasons. Each of Kubrick's works had a touch of the transcendent about it, and Occult Symbolism was not shy in its breadth.
The Monoliths in 2001: A Space oddysey for example, seemingly mundane elements of the film, bear very specific significance when you realize he was attempting to describe just who or what set off (Or so they boast) the intellectual sparks of mankind.
