"The Hidden Hand are the people who have always been the highest hidden authority. It's a Secret brotherhood that controls a network of secret societies such as (Bavarian) Illuminati, Freemasonry. These secret societies carry out the orders that are passed down to them through various levels of power which the secret societies then pass down even further through so many more levels so that when the order has finally reached a person he has no clue from where the order came or why. The people you see in power are nothing."
