Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz! The Freemasons by Jasper Ridley is a deep dive on the worlds longest lasting secret society. The book takes us from the middle ages where the Masons began as the worlds first union slowly gaining political leverage over the crown. Having outlasted the inquisition and reformation the Masons repopulated in the land of the free influencing the Sons of Liberty. We’ll storm the Bastille and learn about Masonic influence over all three Napoleons. The story arrives at contemporary times detailing the clubs which overtook the architects including the Illuminati, Skull & Bones and The Bildeberg group. To better understand modern bureaucracies and shadow organizations it can be most useful to examine cycles of history.
