The guy who was convinced it was a conspiracy didn't offer any legitimate proof, everything could be explained easily as symbols of the current times. Even if there WAS a plan for world domination, there is no way, unless everyone was a mason who followed orders unquestioningly, that it could ever be successful. Maybe masons had a hand in it, but to say there is a conspiracy hiding in the dollar seems quite ridiculous to me. Also, masonry is based on the christian god, and meetings start with prayer as well as the pledge of allegiance, which the theorist was definitely ignorant to.
