Theory of Secret Power Groups

A more pluralistic and less monolithic version of the "Global Elites" theory. It suggests the world is shaped by the covert competition and occasional collaboration of multiple hidden power groups: international finance networks, old aristocratic bloodlines, secret societies (like Skull and Bones), organized crime syndicates, and ideological cults. The world stage is their chessboard, and nations are their pieces.

Theory of Secret Power Groups Example: In this Theory, the rise of a tech mogul might be attributed not to genius, but to backing from a Secret Power Group of Silicon Valley venture capitalists with ties to intelligence agencies, using him as a proxy to control data and social networks, while a rival group of old-money industrialists tries to sabotage him.
