(If TLDR; Skip to the bottom, answer the poll, and share you thoughts, thanks!)
I came to politics in a very formal manner, a left advocate of social change and systematic weeding out of corruption, but just as soon as I was becoming disenchanted and loathsome of the entire impotent process, I ran into a group of new friends that altered my understanding of what the world was and what geopolitical affairs meant for the people that had a mind to manipulate.
I've gone from surface level 'politics', i.e. the affairs of politicians and bureaucrats, to Meta-Politics, the politics of how surface level politics are born, and where they actually issue command from. There are usually prime movers that are more or less invisible to the public media, though finding out what they hold in common is a fairly simple task that requires research into, among other things:
------------------------------------------------
1)The Military Industrial Complex
2)The Monetary schema of the U.S. and Europe
3)The Corporate Media Empire of the West
------------------------------------------------
All of which stand as pillars to the continued hegemony of western civilization's domination over economic and political affairs.
You see, once you understand that a human life only lasts so long, and that in the cycle of generations you have to actively propagandize and acclimate new people to war or hierarchy, you begin to form a larger, holographic image of what is happening inside the realm of politics above the peripheral surface level of all these talking heads.
You get an image that represents the combined efforts of powerful and mindful individuals to maintain control over populations of people that, without constant supervision and indoctrination, would no longer identify by State or empty platitudes of "Proud to be an American, Where at least I know I'm Free".
Generations of humans have to be constantly reminded who they hate, what they're going to war for, and why they are all common in cause with expensive, extensive media campaigns and influence, otherwise the illusions would likely dissolve and the wheel would be broken.
I, personally, Don't think Conspiracies are just Probable to maintain such feats, I think they are Absolutely Necessary.
=======================================================
So my question follows: Are you NOT a believer in the concept of conspiracies? If not, Why so? If so, which ones and what is your rationale?
I leave you with the sage words of former C.I.A. senior operations agent Duane "Dewey" Clarridge in his rebuttal to accusations following the exposing of the Iran-Contra Drug smuggling scandal during his time as senior officer.
