"If you’re a psychopath with enough money, you really can get away with just about anything — at least for a few decades, until people finally pay attention."

Or maybe just four years as President.

I would add a word of caution. What you are writing, most excellently, is about is how ludicrous many conspiracy theories of these troubled times really are.

However, there are indeed secret societies!

Here's some of Yale's 'Skull and Bones Society':

Steven Mnuchin -- Class of 1985 name ring a bell?

Stephen A. Schwarzman -- Class of 1969 - Trump's Chair of Strategic and Policy Forum

G.W. Bush -- Class of 1968 Later President of USA

G.H.W. Bush -- Class of 1948 Head of CIA and later V.P and President of the USA.

And as you suggested, Billionaires, and their minions, (The Clintons: enough said) do gather at the once yearly Bilderberg Group. Held in Montreux, Switzerland 2019 .
