Is it possible we are seeing something else there, like a splinter group from Masonry, which Masons are unaware of?
Everybody doing the handshake, and knowing the other person was going to be doing the handshake, is weird. Maybe it is disinfo, but it looks interesting. (I have firsthand knowledge everything at the high levels of politics is a giant intelligence operation, and nothing works like people think, so this could be misdirection. I am about 97% certain I saw a phone company truck, parked a block and a half away from a polling place, hooked up to the comm lines on a telephone pole, intercepting vote totals being sent by modem to a tabulation center, and replacing them with their vote totals - in 1998)
I don’t know if you are allowed to say, but do Masons find it curious to see their handshakes being coopted by these world leaders who are not Masons? Don’t they wonder if something is up there, and why these people would be LARPing as them?
Leo Zagami, has explored the ins and outs of the "Illuminati" and has several detailed books covering his discoveries. In Confessions of an Illuminati, Volume I: He says the that world is run by "Ur Lodges" which are not formally masonic, but have some of the attributes. I would recommend looking at his book to see the list of Ur Lodges that he details.
