My take is that the original idea of the masons was that they were a group who helped young men learn a trade. Back then, there were no trade schools. If you wanted to learn how to build a house or be a blacksmith, you became an apprentice to learn the trade from experienced veterans.
The group grew into a larger network of men helping men.
But once the Illuminati network in Bavaria was discovered, and the government outlawed secret societies, they went underground by infiltrating the masons.
They kept the "respectable" public image of the masons, but also added in a secret society element within. This gave them a way to recruit men, and identify those who were weak and could be manipulated into rising up and into the criminal ranks, where they would create power centers within society, but only allowing the corrupt and corruptable to be part of that system.
It is not a coincidence that outsiders like Bill Clinton were identified via the Rhodes Scholarship system, and then brought into the inner circle when he proved to be easily corrupted and manipulated, until he became one of the corrupt criminals himself.
Not everyone who is invited to be a mason or a Rhodes Scholar is a criminal. But the criminals are recruited, identified, and groomed through those types of systems.
Possible, but that story could also be nothing but conjecture dreamed up by someone who couldn't think of any other way to explain how Billy got to be gov and prez.
OTOH, his being a Rhodes Scholar and favorite student of Carroll Quigley is documented by Billy himself.
Besides that, the Arkansas Rockefeller was Winthrop, and he seemed to be sort of an outsider to his own family. Not one of the "kingmakers" like David or Nelson.

I wouldn’t be so sure that Bill’s an “outsider” considering rumors that his mom worked for and got pregnant by one of the Arkansas Rockefeller’s.
