Personally I don't care whether any of it's true or not, I don't know enough, so I'm not taking sides.
And anyway, ThePunisher did not say it was one and the same, he said it was linked.

There is an author out there that really did a lot of research on the Illuminati.....his name is Dan Brown. Two books in particular that will give you a lot to research are The Davinci Code and Angels and Demons. Believe me, these books contain a tremendous amount of history on secret societies, such as the Illuminati and Freemasons.
The Priory of the Sion is a REAL European secret society founded in 1099. In 1975, Paris's Bibliothque Nationale discovered parchments known as Les Dossiers Secrets, identifying numerous members of the Priory of the Sion, including Sir Issac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo and Leonardo da Vinci.

It is bizarre to see somebody that is debating about secret societies, questioning why folks debate about secret societies.
IMHO masons respond to things that are said because to do otherwise implies silent agreement to the representations presented. If I were to repeat on multiple threads that the entire population of Bromley, UK is linked to satanic rituals to give control of the world to goat people via sexual rituals performed on children in the sewers of the city I believe that that the good folks of Bromley would object as strongly as the masons to similar misrepresentations about masons.

Could it be the title of the forum?
"Above Top Secret 3.1 >> Secret Societies"
I meant the site as a whole. What's knowing anything about the groups going to do? It won't reveal the mysteries of the universe, it'll just leave you feeling a little less left out of something big and relatively exclusive.
