Now consider: How does such a cartel grow to be so big and remain cohesive? Money alone would cause it to fracture and split due to infighting. They remain cohesive because they are extremely insular and only let (((certain))) people into their midst. Blood and spirituality bind them all together and keep them mostly in agreement.

This (((cohensive))) group naturally has a lot of traits that the average person dislikes and would reject if the truth were widespread. Thus they mimic this ostracizing effect with their gentile golems. Enter Pizzagate. For those not in the inner circle but still need to be recruited, they are inducted via a ritual that would make them just as reviled as the inner circle were the truth known. By this way they can be controlled to do the cartel's bidding.
