I'm kind of an Occam's Razor type of person. Without discounting your theory, I'm thinking this is more than an initiation rite of a sick and twisted fraternity of power elites. One in which you have to do these acts to get in the inner circle of power - and are kept there through blackmail. Sure, mine is a thin theory - but until we see how it all shakes out, all theories are valid I suppose.
