Hi,

"What good fortune for those in power that people do not think"

This is a good sentence. You could say "It's very lucky for those in power that people do not think."

Best wishes, Clive

Hi again,

"What good fortune for those in power that people do not think"

"What good fortune (it is) for those in power that people do not think"

I hope that helps your understanding.

Best wishes, Clive

I'd place a comma after power.
Or two, one before for those in power, one after.
