George Washington read John Robison's book, entitled PROOFS OF A CONSPIRACY (1798), and agreed with Robison's main conclusion,  that agents of European Secret Societies (particularly "Illuminists" or "Illuminati") had indeed infiltrated American Freemasonic lodges.

Venetian Financial Interests, Rosicrucians, and Jesuits (or "Jew"-suits, as it was "Marrano" "Jews" like Ignacius Loyola, in Spain, who founded THE SOCIETY OF JESUS, or Jesuits) - all three created modern Freemasonry, in London, circa 1717.   For more on this, watch the following:

It was Jesuit-trained Adam Weishaupt, funded by the Rothschilds, who organized the ORDER OF THE ILLUMINATI, on May 1, 1776, which was designed to co-opt, or hijack Freemasonry, from the top, on behalf of the Financial Interests and co-opted Royalty of Europe, by initiating high-level Freemasons into the Order (of the Illuminati).  For more information on this topic, investigate the Frankists, and the Sabbateans.
