Syndicate

A syndicate is a self-organizing group of individuals, companies, corporations or entities formed to transact some specific business, to pursue or promote a shared interest. In most cases formed groups aim to scale up their profits. Although there are many legal syndicates formed around the world, the usage of the term "the syndicate" in colloquial English often refers to one involved in illegal activities.

On the FOX Network television series The X-Files, there is a shadowy government organization known plainly as "The Syndicate". They are comprised powerful men and women from varying countries, though most of their membership seems to be culled from the United States. These are the secret puppet masters that have been the guiding hand in world events for decades. Few know they even exist, and fewer still know just how devious their true agendas may be. The goals and accomplishments of the Syndicate are as complex as the motives of its individual members. They have existed at the forefront of extraterrestrial research since the 1940s, and have instituted numerous cover-ups, conspiracies and smoke screens to obfuscate their true agenda.
