There are, instead, simply systems that have been created over the years as humans have fought for more "security" (another basic need) that now enable certain classes to have advantages over others. This is kind of a economic darwinian evolution of sorts. But the players who take advantage of these systems today act much more out of tactics than strategy.
And you give them WAY TOO MUCH CREDIT.
This is 100% correct.
Are there false flag events,behind doors conspiracies and all kind of other evil doings like Anonymint suggests ? Sure there are.
Are there people in the "elites" that think they are smart enough and strong enough to do some of these things? Sure.
But a worldwide global conspiracy run buy a small group of people capable of long term thinking and execution of a plan ( 100 years ?). No.
It doesn't matter the result is the same regardless. The top-down system is how I described and the people are slaves and commit to things that enslave them more.
The propaganda is actually in control. The purveyors of it adjust as needed over 100s of years to keep the masses confused. The purveyors compete with each other and get replaced by those who can deceive better in each new epoch.
Think about it like this. The purveyors of the propaganda don't have to be omniscient about the future, they can change the propaganda at will.
Example is their global warming temperature predictions utterly failed, so now they are changing the propaganda to "man-made climate change" and trying to blame global cooling on it.
The conspiracy is not a grand one of being able to predict the future, rather it is the power vacuum of top-down control and the ability of propaganda to defeat propaganda.
Truth is never going to win for the collective.
Truth and knowledge are an individualized phenomenon. Refer to the "Information Is Alive!" blog entry you can find from the link on my signature.
There isn't one truth, rather everyone's truth is customized to their situation.
Thus collective anything will always be a destruction of individual fitness.
This is why anonymity is so crucial. We used to have it with cash and postal mail, now we are losing it.
