    I don’t expect lots of large longstanding conspiracies except a consiracy to hold power. It plays out with a lot of baiting weaknesses, lies/spin, rabble rousing, demoralizing and other typical propaganda(you might throw the religious beat downs in there). “Patriotism” is the biggest abuse of all. People call bin laden a coward, and he might be, but what about the Clintons,the Bushes and Obama, where have they ever proved that they are not “cowards”?

    Exactly! It only shifts names and methodologies over the centuries. That there is one over-arching conspiracy is true in the abstract and some people make a comic book interpretation of this. Assign a secret society to this tendency, with a secret goal, so forth and so on.

    The top lizards in global politics, money and war have done business the same way since the feudal age — which is to say with arrogant disregard for the rest of us

    The rest of us were never even a consideration until recently.

    So, Arraya, since that’s the way things have operated for so long, why do you want our current system to collapse? What makes you think that the succeeding system would be any better?

    I personally don’t want to get caught in a chaotic transition period of upheaval and poverty.

    I agree. And that’s why I believe that globalization is good. We are all citizens of the world.
