Thanks @v4vapid for your work in informing others about the corruption and degradation that has been occurring for too long in society. A point I would like to make is that it is a relative minor percentage of members of some of the organizations that are commonly cited that actually are engaged in such depredations. My father became a member of the Freemasons and went up through the ranks to become a 33rd degree Shriner and held a number of posts. For him it was a purely social and civic participation as well as for the vast majority of that membership.
Recently I came across the expression "useful idiots", a term of obvious contempt, which was said to be coined by Lenin. Significantly many groups can serve as a camouflage for those embedded in dark activities, the US Congress certainly comes to mind (as a potential new addition) along with the CFR, Jesuits and others which are on the somewhat standard lists. However I wonder about the mistrust and incredibility that arises when these groups and the perhaps "useful idiot" members are listed as a homogeneous whole?
Granted such groups with smaller memberships as the Knights of Malta and Opus Dei may be far more concentrated. Yet a more precise laser surgery might be called for in identifying which parts are malignant or it tends to be deflected as misinformation.
