Brother Benton,
I noticed your interest in this thread; as with our Brotherhood, we must always be aware of subversive activity going on within the Masonic community. The "snakes" have never been anything positive within the Masonic community; they are still attempting to thwart the authority of the Grand Lodge of California. If I may be of any further assistance, please let me know.
Sincerely and Fraternally,
Brother Wayne L. Butts III
