It's a bit too late for this... don't you think?
I mean, think about it,
the "brotherhood" envisioned 'educating' a generation
who would follow their protocol. They started over 80 years
ago, with the true plan to have it intact by the end of the
century. Have they succeeded?
(Remember the Scottish Rite creed?
which in my opinion, lays it all on the line...)
You decide.
