You seem to be trying to say something without really saying it.
That could be why you're not getting much response.
I will say this, from my own perspective though. When I was young in the 60's and 70's, I consumed a lot of conspiratorial theories, beginning with the Autobiography of Malcolm X.
I also grew up in a family and community that was right at the intersection of the Military Industrial Complex. So I got to know a lot of people who could easily be considered as being "in on it all."
I finally came to the conclusion that our problems are more systemic than the result of any well-choreographed conspiracy.
I don't deny that there are bastids in power who will do some rotten things, nor do I deny that there are individual conspiracies that sometimes arise.
But I think it's more a matter of systemic institutionalized processes combined with the ,misguided mentality of people on the inside who think they are doing the right thing.
It's a topic that is fertile for discussiuon and debate.
