The Most Powerful Cliques, and alliances of
individuals, and the most famous, of these,http://www.lonympics.co.uk/
1 Caesar and triumvirate with Marcus Licinius Crassus and Pompey the Great, and other Roman empire alliances, and other Shakespearean stuff, far more cliquey than some thinsg down the list,
2 Boliviar - San Martin, in South America, liberating their lands from a Imperial power,
3 Royal Alliances, of some royal groupings, and Royal conspiracies, though the way they are organised does not put the cleverest at the top, it is just some random very unfairly chosen via inheritance person, and if they do, then the leader is like some sort of Rasputin, or Richelieu, so they may have power, but they do not do that well sometimes, this includes aristocratic fraternity groups and royals grops, established and just unofficial, these cliques can be powerful, and are anto democratic,
4 Ferdinand and Isabella, and other marriages of kingdoms, which sometimes provoked some wars, so democratic ways to unifying nations are better,
5 JFK - Johnstone, and some other vote winning partnerships like FDR - Garner, so not clique in a conspiracy way, but in a democratic appeal way this time,
6 Masonic groups, not just like the masons, groups like them, they may not have much power in some ways, but groups of rich people all hanging around together, like the skull and bones in Harvard or Yale or somewhere, surely thats fraternal groupings,
7 The Stockmarket,
8 Chinese coups, of emperors who replaced others via court intrigue, and the biggest one, the Self-Strengthening Movement, which ousted the terrible imperial system
9 Japanese shogun cliques,
10 CIA, and other secret agenecies, KGB etc,
11 Mamaluks, and other military castes, like the Normans, maybe these aristocratic cliques should be higher on the list, but lets say they are almost not cliques, as they were often divided in some ways,
12 Assasin plots and terrorist groups, maybe I will not include resistance groups of things I support, as they are not cliques, or maybe they were, so maybe I should, these have been used by many groups from left to right from Socialist, Conservative, essentially libertarian, anarchist to Royalist, from Athiest, Christian, Hindu, Sikh, Islamic and to almost anything,
13 Big Business cartels
14 Big Business, well they sometimes do shady deals, against things they oppose, in ways that are shady, and cliquey
15 Crime gangs
I have not included
allot of good things as cliques, not that all that was above are bad, though most
were,
