The question isn't "Do the world's super elite conspire in secret societies on how to control global events." Because they absolutely do, we know the names of a few of these groups: Bilderberg, skull and bones, bohemia grove. There is a ton of historical documentation that the super elites have behaved this way in the past and there is also no denying that those currently on top also have the motivation, inclination and ability to conspire against the rest of us. People in every industry hold conventions in order to build contacts and share knowledge, why would the super elites be any different?
For me the question is "What are they really trying to accomplish and can they actually do it?" and "How much of this is just due to the inherently chaotic nature of human beings?" a distinction that those of us on the outside can not easily make.
Take a look at the world we live in, do you see a place that is run by well meaning people doing the best they can, or do you see a world run by inbred, psychopathic oligarchs?
