the lesser minions have no idea what the true agenda is!

I was watching a “documentary” (inverted commas used advisedly) on the Illuminati, which said something similar, i.e. that even 3rd degree Master Masons often have no idea that the Masonic degree structure actually goes up to 33 degrees. Like you, I fail to understand how people within the organisation apparently have no idea about these things when anyone can find out about it with a modicum of digging.
