I think the best argument is that they are against each other, like hafez assad and bashir gemayel, though both criminals were not expelled from freemasonry indicating the corruption.
Happy New Year😆😙
How would you know if someone were expelled from the Masons or not? AFAIK, they don't publish lists of members in good standing or issue press releases for expulsions. Would you expect a local lodge or or Grand Lodge to expel a powerful leader in country run by martial law. There is no universal or central authority among Masons.
