I believe that they have massively infiltrated the global political system, the global economic system, the entertainment industry, the mass media and The Vatican.
That seems pointless. The ultra-wealthy are, by virtue of their wealth, very powerful and influential and able to legally and openly put their fingers into many different pies. There doesn't seem to be much that they need to do covertly in order to gain any more influence or power than is already within reach via legal means.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
