Like you, I am against any effort to give power to organisations and think tanks set up above all governments and nations. However, I believe that all those who work in such organisations are totally convinced of their work and usefulness and believe they are acting for the good of humanity, not seeing and not hearing that they have never been given a mandate to do so. That's the strange thing, this self-empowerment and self-image with which large organisations keep those who work for them in a thought bubble from which, it seems, there is no escape. For people who have always lived well and had an adequate as well as comfortable life, the idea that the many people they don't know, who have different lifestyles and work, don't share their ideals is probably absurd.

Insofar as there may be some among them who knowingly and willingly want to deliberately cause the death of many people, or who hate themselves and others, I do not want to rule that out, but I think little of attributing these to the diabolical or to pure "evil" (as is so often done), as I think that is too simplistic a concept. It is extremely effective in distracting from one's own life and style and in making oneself feel good and righteous.
I am more inclined to think that we all have a dark side that we just dare not look at. I find it far less dangerous not only to have one's own feelings of anger and hatred, but also to see them in oneself, than to completely deny them and claim that one is never seized by great murderous anger or that one is not capable of shabby gloating. I consider the suppression of such aggression to be more destructive because the seemingly superficial niceness and friendliness manifests itself as a clean-cut appearance and one can see the coldness and composure with which people express and act out their alleged compassion as a result of this suppression.

An example: On the train ride back yesterday, I overheard the conversation of a younger man and a woman behind me. She told him that in the area where she grew up, there were always poop heaps in the gardens, which people initially blamed on dogs. Her father then set up a night vision camera in the garden and the films revealed that they were raccoons. She then literally said: "You have to know that raccoon poop is extremely dangerous and poisonous and cause diseases! My dad luckily only touches the shit with the shovel." She then went on to tell that they were calling the authorities what to do about the raccoons and how to kill or to get away with them. Later, she told about a friend who owns a horse and that this horse became somewhat old and you cannot ride any longer on it because of its sore back. They all felt "very sorry" for that horse, though it is a costly affair to hold on to it, the box, the medicine and visits at the vet. It "would be better if you give it to the soft death by injection". That kind of stuff. Like many of animal owners feel "empathic" to their pets and won't let them "suffer" (as long as they function and please them and do not cause costs). Though, here again, I think, they truly believe in their love for those pets.
