They are hand-picked for the jobs. If George Soros calls Biden and says cgbg gets this job, cgbg gets that job. Remember, they didn’t even tell Truman about the Manhattan Project. He found out when Roosevelt died.
The issue is “who is they”.
I don’t think George Soros knows anything about this stuff.
The UFO community has hotly debated the existence of a “Majestic” group—there are memos from that group that have serious chain of custody issues—and that still does not name actual names of who holds the secrets in Russia, China, Iran etc.
It does not explain how new members are chosen after old members die or retire.
Most narratives that try to explain this stuff have lots of holes in their logic.
Bottom line—we do not know who is in charge today!
