Great to have you on this platform. I liked your video a lot.
Must say, all this 'fictional' stuff lets me believe its not fictional for you; Its meant either sarcastic or you took a different approach to express the fact you believe in shadow governments.
Though I'm inclined to believe forces are at play that results in whatever we see and experience around us; Governments and other leaders making good but definitely also bad decisions; I dont believe in One or a Few or even More shadow governments.
I think it is the system we build that causes all sort of unwanted situations. We need to bring all systems down, or better stated: We need to transform all our systems, political system, society systems, financial systems, and try and turn things to the 'good' again. There is not a small selected group of villains around that can be conquered. I actually think most villains are also hero's.
The culture in especially the western world, is one of being self centred. Me me me me... and owwww there are others as well, is how we got wired. Since the 90s this is happening: "the I is important", was the credo... "What do I want, How do I feel, I'm my own boss", and so on and so fort. Combined with the capitalistic system we've build, we (many of us) started to think "me, me, me" concerning everything including finances. Socialism (caring for others) gone, Taxes are stupid, Nationalism becomes the standard ("its them at fault, not us").
We need to break this down completely, and change our own cultures for the good again.
