Indeed whoever they are, from whatever culture, they've placed their henchmen at the doors.

I'm more inclined to view it as a freemasonic thing. Because that includes all religions, all cultures and faiths. That way they have greater control irrespective of differences. eg you can be a Jesuit and a freemason. You can also be a muslim or jew or catholic or satanist and a freemason. Atheists too.

That cult all swear allegiance to each other over family, country, creed and religion.
