I've always thought such charts were somewhat misleading, in that the existence of such linkages really has little or no probative value. For instance, if I open a checking account at Deutsche Bank, does that somehow imply that I am a part of their sinister effort to (finally) win WW2, or did I just need the free toaster? It is the nature of the "links," and whether (or why) they might motivate someone to act in a particular way, that is far more important than their mere existence.
Although such charts can be helpful places to start research, it shouldn't be the end product.
