Don't look at me man, I voted ZOD.

But this makes me recall the line from Alan Moore-

“Yes, there is a conspiracy, indeed there are a great number of conspiracies, all tripping each other up… the main thing that I learned about conspiracy theories is that conspiracy theorists actually believe in the conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is chaotic. The truth is, that it is not the Jewish banking conspiracy, or the grey aliens, or the twelve-foot reptiloids from another dimension that are in control, the truth is far more frightening; no-one is in control, the world is rudderless.”



Don't believe that for a moment. Yes, not every aspect is under control (obviously). And yes, various factions vying for various aspects of control trip each other up (thank goodness). But these powerful factions do exist and amongst themselves are "conspiring" to make a great many decisions that effect a hell of a lot of people.

And no it is not "grey aliens" or "reptiloids". It is simply the very rich and well organized.
