Some valid points my friend, I wholeheartedly agree! When something becomes an industry - it is ripe for infiltration and manipulation. Then again, as I have highlighted, many of these movements and industries are also created by the same entities.

Great haiku @owasco - enchantment is real. Look at the visions of the technological future they were selling people in the 1950's - then stand back and look at the reality. Conversely, whilst I don't doubt that things are going to get very tough, that we are going to go through a period of darkness. To my mind, it's the light at the end of the tunnel that will be the true sleight of hand. Personally, I think they intend to frame it in a manner that will enable this one world system/global transformation/awakening to be welcomed as a saviour - the answer to our problems. Indeed, they are currently inducting us into a very bleak perception of the future. My contention, they are going to plunge the world into darkness and then offer the false light.

Will they achieve their objectives? Maybe initially - but ultimately, this is the essence of the great deception, hence they will quickly lose control. Their grandiose visions mutating into the stuff of nightmares - revealing that many of these self-aggrandising individuals are the most deceived of us all. No doubt I am offering an unpopular perspective, but certainly, there is a lot more going on here than meets the eye. When the world is looking one way, I'd suggest it's prudent to look the other. All the best to you my friend :)
