Lots of interesting coincidences drawn together. Hard to tell for sure what it could mean but certainly there is potential for vested undeclared interests to be working out of the public eye.
Working on the smoke-fire principle I have to suppose that something is going on but it is not clear how bad it is simply from these circumstantial ties, we can be fairly confident that there is no good to come of all these hidden allegiances.
I don't try to finger or highlight any organisations specific, because the shifting sands of compromise between organisations and groups means some people might be evil, and some not. My criticisms of Freemason involvement in the UK government prompted the local lodge here to go on BBC radio to defend themselves (one-sided, of course; no comment from outside).
I manage to file the Operation Tiberius link to the radio station, and the radio presenter challenged them in a roundabout way without specifics. He asked where their loyalty was first (a bit of a red herring if you consider the Crown is already Freemason), and despite this they struggled.
To admit the Crown had Freemason ties would confirm the compromise. To deny and insist they're separate would mean he'd have to cherry pick loyalty between either Crown or Freemason. He struggled, then got rescued by the radio presenter (who himself admitted he had been offered to join and that his own family had ties). The defender insisted it was more like a 'golf club' and that it was "just a few bad apples".
He obviously hadn't heard the full saying: Just a few bad apples spoils the bunch.
Who knew?
