>This 1874 treaty established a hierarchy between Israelite and non-Israelite lodges based on unequal, asymmetrical access to information. We can say that Albert Pike signed off white supremacism’s capitulation to Jewish supremacism by formalizing the absence of reciprocity between both forms of supremacism, at least with regards to the right of control over the activities of one another. Indeed, if Israelite lodges can secretly co-exist alongside non-Israelite lodges – i.e., if the former can hide in plain sight whereas the latter cannot hide at all – then Israelite lodges have more power than non-Israelite lodges. The power to influence in general, and Masonic power in particular, is constituted according to a vertical, panoptic asymmetry between “seeing” and “being seen”: the higher up one is in the hierarchy, the more one sees and the less one is seen
