The hidden hand may very well be what Q says would put people in the hospital. Sort of like the Matrix movies... there are actors and players outside our view. Aliens? Who knows. Shape Shifters? Real witches and warlocks? Or perhaps an entire "race" of podbabies that have passed as humans all this time. The latter would certainly explain why child molestation and abuse comes easily. If you aren't human, you don't relate to these children anymore than I might relate to a mosquito I swatted.  I have a funny feeling we are about to find out!
