Freemasonry has many different levels and like the military info is on a need to know basis.
The Local Freemasons on the whole don’t know how evil the higher levels are. The local ones have key people throughout local government, the legal system, business and police forces. They will call in favors when needed
The more loyal, influential, nefarious and powerful you become in your life the higher they will promote you.
Short version:

Makes you wonder about someone like Steve Wozniak who bragged about moving to the highest echelons within the Freemasons within such a short time.
