Freemason What?

The Freemason's are a well known society in American culture but is there something more to the group that meets the eye? A You Tube video i recently watched seems to think that the Freemasons helped shape what we know as the modern U.S. It was said that Washington DC is completely based on masonic architecture, they believe that the city's design is laid out an a cult manor. Everywhere you do in the city the symbolic statues and buildings that are signs that only a free mason would know and understand. David Ovason author of the book The Secret Architecture Of Our Nations Capital explains the cult signs and symbols surrounding the laying of the city's corner stone a event that involved George Washington. Apparently the US capital was designed to be in alignment with the stars just like the ancient Egypt, and was said to be empowered by the gods of ancient world. Could it be possible that the US was built around things that were not taught in history class? Hidden Symbols were said to be placed in plan site and spelled out the mason plan for a world takeover. Things like the dollar bill and the statue of liberty were said to be a few of the symbols of the masons, These symbols in everyday American life represent freedom and equality if this were true it would this could be one of the biggest cover ups in modern history.
