I'd suggest Freemasonry is just the interoperability layer. It's layer 3 cult-networking to allow disparate and traditionally incompatible cults to participate in an Open Conspiracy (as in H.G. Wells) fused with B.F. Skinner's Walden 2. I would have once suggested Walden Two was a farfetched work of fiction but it is apparent that the dystopia is all too real.
