I know almost nothing about this subject - but I would surmise they can't be one monolithic entity that takes orders from their supreme occultist leader? 

Between "Freemasons this" and "Bilderbergs that" it feels impossible to track what the heck is going on.

This just straight up feels unfair. It took forever to realize what's going on and now I have to re-study history again??
Well a great book on the subject is Nesta Helen Webster 'secret societies and subversive movements'..although I think you should read her work on the French revolution first. Yes they are al just made up of humans so of course there are conflicts etc and sometimes even incompetence.

but the main takeaway is that elite theory is correct. People like machiavelli, pareto, musca, and Robert Michaels were totally correct about how power marks. Despite the fact that the concept is fundamental to a history education in the usa, there is no such thing as a 'bottom up' or 'grass roots' revolution. There are only elites and counter elites.
