There appears to be indeed some sort of Battle going on between some of these Elite Families which goes beyond the usual Hegelian Dialectic. Though they still fight within the Matrix, as per Jesuit tradition they are not allowed to disclose the Hidden Hand and the Wider Conspiracy.
I think there is some truth to the Priory of Sion vs Templars infighting as outlined in the book The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail.
Babylon (Priory of Sion, cryptojewish rosecroix royal families) had founded the Templars, but when these had returned from the Holy Land their original purpose had run out and became an inconvenience and a threat. Babylon even tried to dissolve them and force a merger with the more dependable Hospitaliers in the period shortly before their persecution. And after the persecution, all the seized Templar assets were given to the Hospitaliers.
Some Founding Fathers (Bill of Rights) were masons of Templar tradition, but in the decades later Sion (cryptojews like DelaMotta) increasingly took control of american freemasonry . Infact in american Freemasonry now Templar orders are demonized as racists bigots etc.
I think on the World Stage we're still seeing some struggle between Templars and Priory of Sion. Templars seem more supportive of personal liberties, probably because they experienced the harsh reality of brutal tyranny on themselves.
They all want a hierarchical aristocratic dictatorship, but maybe the Templars want the masses to have some basic liberties. At least that's the impression I get. Btw I wonder what your avatar stands for? red cross on the shield....isn't it Templar symbology? The City of London still has a Templar logo, though the City of London was taken away from the Templars and given to the Hospitaliers (StJohn/Knights of Malta) who now run it with the RoseCroix (English Freemasonry).
