Warfare
The term shadow government, also referred to as cryptocracy describes what is sometimes called "the secret government" or "the invisible government," the actual power that often does not reside with a legitimate regime or occupying power but with individuals or groups who remain hidden, underground, exercising power behind the scenes. While the term is currently in vogue by conspiracy theorists to describe the Illuminati, Bilderberg Group, Masons or other secret organizations, it is normally used in popular context to mean a secret government within the government itself. The concept of the shadow government was used extensively in the 1960s to describe the communist tactic of political cadre development parallel to the armed campaign. It was first codified in Molnar’s Undergrounds in Insurgent, Revolutionary, and Resistance Warfare[ii] where he dedicated a page to describing both theExternal Shadow Government (what we now refer to as the Government-In-Exile) and the Internal Shadow Government, which is the basis for the concept we now use.
