The Isma;lis are the direct descendants of Hasan al Sabah's Assassins, a terrorist group who held the middle east tributary for ~ 400 years.

>The Assassins (aka Nizari Ismailis), were a heretical group of Shiite Muslims who were powerful in Persia and Syria from the 11th century CE until their defeat at the hands of the Mongols in the mid-13th century CE.

The Assassins maintained networks of covert agents in every country and capital, sleepers who worked deep cover sometimes for decade carrying on successful businesses, raising families and who proved to be 100% loyal, willing and able to carry out assassinations or terrorist acts even at the cost of their own lives.
How did the Assassins command such loyalty from agents embedded for years in the heart of 'enemy' nations and cultures?
We know they used techniques that we would call brainwashing. Hypnotism, illusion, drugs combined with occult rituals to initiate adherents with absolute incorruptible loyalty which did not erode over time, was not weakened by prosperity or suffer in competition with love of family. Above all else, the faithful were loyal to the order of the Assassins.
The Assassin's headquarter of Almut was conquered by Genghis Kan's grandson, Hulegu. in 1276, and the order said to have vanished taking the indoctrination procedures and technology with them to historical oblivion.
Except that they did not vanish they changed their name.
The vast majority of the Assassins, enormous networks of fanatical agents where scattered across the known world survived the destruction of the mountain fortresses and the order rapidly reconstitutes itself as the Isma'ilis.
The Aga Khan attended Harvard and was on Harvard Lampoon. Since then his cultivate an image in the popular press as a moderate cultivated Muzzy, a race horse owner who happens to have inherited the leadership of the Isma'ili sect.
The heir of Hasan al Sabah's Assassins is certainly familiar with and likely to have improved upon the mind control technique of 800 years ago, and thus a highly trained and expert handler of cultist puppets like Justin Trudeau.
Also worth noting is the fact that the Assassins were allied to and shared operational secrets with, the Knights Templar.
The Knights Templar also reconstituted their order under a new name when their order was dissolved by Pope Clement V the headquarters over run and leader Jacques DeMolay executed by Phillip IV of France. The Templars became various strains of masonry and their activities follow much the same tactics as the Assassin, infiltration of key government position, hidden control of groups and individuals and the highest loyalty, above both nation and family is by oath to the masonic order and fellow masons.
Successful operational tactics are never discarded, they are updated and continue in use until they become ineffective. Is Aga Khan Trudeau's handler? IDK but the boy sure runs to the Aga daddy in time of stress. JT can probably count on Isma'ili support for the moment, as far as it goes, but like the historical Assassins and the Templars the Ismai'lis can't fight a nation state or an aroused population.
The Great Awakening is big trouble for the masons, composed of an outer corps of civilian dupes and an inner council of amoral occult artists and sociopathic manipulators, the heirs to the Templars' occult rituals and assorted brainwashing techniques. If those techniques weren't so effective we'd have more masons confessing here and fewer shills.
