There are many secret societies interlinked with the masons, just as there were masons hidden within the ranks of the KKK and in every usable department of the highest positions of all the governments throughout the world and secret societies, this is how the bother hood has evolved to ensure its monopoly and survival throughout the ages, just like religion itself, the proof is everywhere but if you don't know the math you don't get to play

The way it works in Texas, the sitting WM of a lodge gives the proxy vote of his lodge as a whole at the GL assembly. I don't know if he has his own vote there at that point or not. But yes, in Texas all Past Masters are elegible to vote at Grand Lodge as well... So you've got a room full of 3,000+ Masons every year voting on the issues at hand. We regularly send a delegation of our Past Masters. They share a few hotel rooms, host a poker night, go out and play golf on days when there aren't general assemblies, and then vote on whether or not to officially recognize some motorcycle club as being a Masonic organization and other equally important Grand Lodge business.

Just wanted to add for the edification of non-Masons the only residual is that Past Masters become permanent voting members of their repective grand lodges.
This is not the case for many Grand Lodges (including my own). Here, Past Masters do not have voting rights.

. But there is a head and its not in Louisiana. The people you have listed are only the leaders of that area in Louisiana. Their boss would be in Pennsylvania where the Masonic Headquarters is.
In the months leading up to his death he traveled to Pennsylvania several times to meet with the heads of the Masons to prepare for the replacement when he passed away.
Then you would have to travel over seas to find their boss which wwill lead you to the main boss. Which is the only person who is allowed to bestow the title of "Sir" to any individual.
You will also have to remember that certain control of groups were given over to the only person allowed to bestow the name "Sir" by other groups in the past through certain objects such as "Stone of Destiny" that was placed under the throne for this person..
