If this is true this will unfortunately add fuel to the fire of the conspiracy theorists. Freemasons have been 'banned', therefore they must be guilty. If we were an ethnic minority, this would be racist. If we were a religion, this would be illegal. Whilst not wishing to detract from the tragic event that took place, anyone with the slightest amount of common sense would realise this is negative stereotyping of the most outrageous kind.
Anybody who knows anything about Freemasonry (and clearly the IPCC do not) knows that Masons promise NOT to be involved in plots or conspiracies and to uphold the law of the land. (Third Degree obligation, Charge to the WM elect). This is like going back to the 1970s. Shame on you, IPCC.

Logic completely escapes these people. My favorite misconception is that the Revolutionary War (I am on American side of the pond) was a Freemasonic plot to create the United States. There is only problem with this theory (well, other than the fact that Freemasons do not engage in such conspiracies), and that is when looking at the number of Freemasons involved, you discover that there was about the same number of Freemasons on both sides of the conflict. So if the British won, in some alternate timeline, one could claim that the War was a Freemason plot to keep the Colonies for the Crown. Of course, to those who love conspiracies, just the existence of the Freemasons seem to be enough to justify their roles in all types of conspiracies. Meanwhile the Moose and the Odd Fellows are generally ignored...despite the fact that they are the same type of organization.
