I do not believe that statement has been proven false. It is your determination that claims it is false.The statement was"The Freemasons are a club that gather and practice secret rituals that may, or may not be legal" . I do not see where that is a false statement, debatable yes. Since the rituals are secretive, they remain open to conjecture. The point still remains , although they are secret, law enforcement expends no effort in investigating their" legal activity ". They should not consider gatherings of clubs that engage in " legal activity " against the law. The opinion of the State's highest ranking Law Enforcement Official that it should be deemed so is not in keeping with State Law. He does not work for the Federal Government, the state pays him.
