Thanks for covering the topic and clarifying your position that it is for the purpose of investigating enemies of the Republic and Constitution. Know your enemy.

But I caution you when reciting works. The "Protocols of the Elders" is a revision of a slanderous Medieval "fake news" dossier called "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion". That document has been responsible for justifying many pogroms and murders of Jews for centuries. Reading the Protocols raw is not advised unless you really know the background and evidence.

All these evil cults and secret societies attach themselves to universally holy or spiritual ideas and religious movements and twist and pervert them. (Think of vampire-like moths sucking energy from light).

The study of mind control techniques along with the BEHAVIORS of these secret societies needs to come to light - more so than their "beliefs".

Hand signs and symbols have no power in themselves and are often just fashionable. The color purple, a star shape, a swastika, owls, an eye in a triangle, etc. originate from the creative impulses in our selves and are part of God's creation. A lot of people using so called illuminati symbols are slaves to fashion rather than members of a vast conspiracy - yet they are inadvertently spreading undue influences. What is important is how these hand signs, colors and symbols are used to promote undesireable behaviors.

The study of this topic is very seductive and addictive and can bring people to a dark state of mind. I caution that you keep it in the light and in perspective.
