One of the few times I disagree with you. I do believe that there is a central group running the show. I believe most military and ruling class are little but pawns for this group, expendable to further their scripts. Much of what we know is based on blind acceptance of what experts have been telling us for years. Of one thing I became convinced of years ago. While most people at best plan things out for days, maybe weeks or a few years, there are those who make generational plans that will escape the notice/belief of the majority of people. This thinking naturally places them in the winner seat.
