Secret Societies, Cryptocracy and Deep Politics
“[E]veryone admits that the real strength of a secret society lies in its concealment: the more secret it is, the more it will be able to fully remove any obstacles. The primary interest of a secret society is therefore to do everything that it can to keep itself secret in order, as far as is possible, to avoid betrayal and becoming public knowledge.” – Adam Weishaupt, Pythagoras, oder Betrachtungen über die geheime Welt- und Regierungskunst (1790), 404-5.
