If you have to ask, you will never be a 33rd degree Freemason. That ranking is reserved for world leaders and close relatives of those who truly have power. You may join the Freemasons, but the 33rd degree is for the Illuminati. Special previleges? YES. Try being above the law, for starters. I strongly recommend viewing the movie described at this website: http://tvnewslies.org/html/the_illuminat… This could answer some of your questions.
