I guess we have all had a lot of practice and training now at seeing the puppets all jerk on the end of their strings, and spout the same ordered nonsense at the same time. Surely it was not always as noticeable as this.
I wonder what would happen when any one puppet had its strings cut, and those strings were followed back to the source.
100% - I'm sure they have quite been deliberately modeled on the 'cell' structure of decentralized insurgency crime-groups. For resiliency and as a plausible-deniability bulkhead of sorts to contain damage if one cell fails and is captured and interrogated by the good guys.
Fortunately there are also strategies to counter this.

Unfortunately, the strings might only lead to the bottom tiers. There's other lines that's above them. I sure hope we will be able to detangle them.
