You can only ever determine any man or any group of people by the works that they do ,never by just their words.
If you search for any group of people that do certain things they can all be found working on both sides of the fence; For instance ,some practice ancient meditations,heal the sick,teach ascension techniques and they do it all for free and they plow all money made from teachings others straight back into where it is required the most in the place on earth that suffers the most.
They still exist they are real people.
Those ones are not the illumintate or the Catholic church or the masons.
