As pessoas têm uma visão distorcida por teorias malucas de conspiração illuminati que todos os presidentes americanos foram maçons ou illuminati ou seja lá o que for. Nesta série de matérias, pretendo falar a respeito de cada uma destas organizações antes que o próximo filme do Dan Brown entre em cartaz e os malucos de plantão comecem a alucinar com o termo Illuminati.


Para saber quais presidentes americanos foram maçons, bastou enviar um email para a Grande Loja Americana perguntando. Maçons tem registro de iniciações, elevações e exaltações. Com alguma pesquisa, é possível saber onde e quando um maçom verdadeiro foi iniciado. Ainda mais no caso de presidentes americanos. A resposta deles foi a seguinte:
