Yes, but not every lodge has a checkered floor in the lodge room. Heck our lodge just had carpet until more recently when we splurged to rip out the carpet that had been there for 20+ years and install the tile. Granted our lodge has enough members to afford that...most lodges dont. Freemasonry was more popular during our grandfather's generation and before....many lodges have had to close their doors or merge with other lodges because they simply dont have the financial ability to stay open. I think all of the old school fraternal orgs (Rotary Club, Knights of Columbus, Odd Fellows etc) aren't as popular anymore. Thats why its kind of funny when i see people say the masons are behind everything....theres no doubt that early founders who were freemasons borrowed some of the key tenets of masonry in creating our founding documents (individual liberty and choice, equality among men, belief that God is what gives us our moral compass and therefore rights) but there are very few masons in American govt anymore...that being said that doesnt mean there ARENT elite groups and clubs that people belong to to groom politicians for the future im sure those are plentiful
I see the checkered tiles in lots of places. I think some unsavory people use that symbol. I'm not suggesting that they are the only ones who use it. There must be symbol false flags and shared symbols.
Symbols will be their downfall. Q said that I think and I believe it.
