In order to create a subservient, collectivist herd catering to the worldly pleasures of a decadent ruling oligarchy, the masses require a different religion. One that emphasizes conformity, ritual, group activity, festivals, obedience to authority, irrational mysticism, a hierarchical priesthood, and license for irresponsible behavior. Let's look at some candidates, all of which are promoted by the elitists and targeted at different audiences.
Historically speaking, Roman Catholicism fits the requirements almost perfectly. Which is not surprising since it was created and promoted by the "Holy" Roman Emperors and their successors precisely for that purpose. Even though it has faded somewhat in the decadent West, it's still very much alive and well in "Latin" America, and is gaining ground as a result of their unchecked invasion of the north.

Global Manipulators Move Beyond Petroleum
Seems like everyone is in on the conspiracy - the Vatican, Masons, Environmentalists, Big Business, Bankers, Politicans, New Agers, and a vague 'elite' at the root of it all.
Who is not 'in on it?'
You've named your suspects - who is on the 'right' side in your estimation?
Bump for later.
Your class warfare gambit, just wont fly. Why? Because, for starters, it's pathetically ignorant; as is the rest of your thread.
And all of your toing and frowing about how everyone else has "misread" what you've written, is horse hockey! You inferred, you implied, you wrote that which is nothing more and nothing less than very old, very tired, very stinky tinfoil! And one MUST ask, to what purpose?
They don't. It's right out in the open. Of course I haven't been invited to Davos, Aspen Institute, CFR or Trilateral Commission policy meetings, but they do exist are on record. Just 90% of Americans don't know or care.
IMHO, a set of worthwhile observations.
FWIW, I already have experience regarding Freemasonry directly, and in those experiences I can bear truthful witness that they are not dedicated to God through faith in Christ, but will promote anything antiChristian that fosters human good at their own manipulation.
Interestingly, Christ defeated the builders some 2000 years ago, but still condemned men are attracted to their self made works for temporal control rather than accepting heaven for nothing other than sacrificing the natural man.
Likewise, even though there do exist incredibly malevolent and antiChristian forces in the world, even in the most heinous of situations, there is nothing that can keep a believer from exercising a simple faith in God through Christ. Such a simple faith results in more power, riches, strength, wisdom, honor, praise and glory than ever dreamt by the unbeliever. Even the carnal believer who has backslidden, thinking human works are the means to a worthwhile end, fails to understand any work not performed by divine protocol through simple faith in Christ will ultimately be deemed good for nothingness.
This brings me to a simple point. Although conspiracies may, do and have existed, they are impotent compared to the simple faith a believer may exhibit in God through Christ.
The issue of verifiability isn't significant with such criminal behavior. More important is the veracity within the object whom we place our faith, ... in God through faith in Christ, in all things.
Your posting does report valid and many sound observations. Many of which are ignored by a public that has become either hardened towards loving their fellow man or by placing faith on the soulish aspects of the world instead of faith upon God.
There is a reason why freemasonry and other sundry groups refer to their practice and study as a craft. Frequently they get what they work towards achieving, namely a clandestine fabrication for their control hidden from public view and hidden in plain sight.
God provides a way through Christ for all men to have a sanctified body, soul, and spirit, and the spirit is a significant component of that creation. Likewise, man who is born with an old sin nature, already condemned and dead in the spirit to God, perceives by soulish methods. The spiritual domain exists even when man is dead to God spiritually. Frequently, we fail to consider the spiritual consequences of behavior manifest in the occultic, their magnitude, forces, authority, and mechanics that provide incentive for their thinking, decisions and behavior, precisely because we are scarred from soulish thinking. In part, this naivete relieves us from accountability, but doesn't relieve us from the consequences of such evil rebellion from God and His grace.
I suspect that perhaps as early as this summer, but likely within a decade, the US will suffer from divine discipline. Throughout the globe people have become accustomed to any and every rebellion in thinking, deciding and acting separate from God through His Son. Prophecy foretells an apocalyse. God, though his grace will probably warn the world again by his divine dicipline of this looming fate.
The United States isn't prominent in Scripture, other than perhaps references to a Roman Empire that has never been conquered. There isn't much on divine scales that keeps His hand from destroying the US outright, except where we might remain faithful to Him. Our war on terror isn't worth much righteousness where we condone Islam as an alternative religion to any Christian denomination. Condoning Islam simply tips our hand regarding our lack of faith in God through Christ. It isn't saavy, nor is it wise, although those who believe they can control the future through rebellion to God in even the least of things will remain blinded to His light, until they return to Him.
Nor do we as a nation have much righteousness when homosexuality is condoned, while marriage and family are redefined independant of Divine Establishment.
I see nothing preventing cataclysmic events from happening to the US, unseen throughout most of human history, such as perhaps earthquakes, tsunamis, meteor showers, volcanism, and invasion to the US west of the Rockies. I make this comment because those are the events which I have seen vividly in dreams over the past several years. I had been skeptical of their veracity, (not that they were indeed spiritually induced and actual, but as to their source, divine or deception), but they are beginning to form in detail in the physical world. I now tend to believe they are a form of testing and cursing or divine discipline, and the only way to properly respond is to remain faithful to Him in all things, by remaining faithful through Christ and keeping very short account of my failings.
Regarding the defensive nature some take in response or reaction to the article. I suspect there do exist such conspiracies, but many times not in the soulishly perceived fashion that those who react to them might consider. For example in freemasonry, I suspect there are many good men performing good works, perhaps even some that will be rewarded in heaven, but by no means does the group promote the mechanics my which any work will ever be deemed anything but good for nothing. There is also a very real school within that group that studies, decides and practices all things that are divinely rejected as righteous or strictly unholy, mired either as good or evil independent of God.
But it is impotent with respect to the personal relationship of the individual believer with respect to God through faith in Christ.
In summary, I encourage all to simply remain faithful to God through Christ.
