(If you saw the movie "The Men Who Stare at Goats" and thought it was stupid (as I did), don't blame Jon Ronson! The book is very different and MUCH better...) Someone else here posted about Bohemian Grove where the elite of the elite are said to meet and do all sorts of weird stuff (as weird as you'd like, depending on who you listen to!) and Ronson also has a great piece on the place in which he sneaks in (kind of). Although it's pretty hard to say with accuracy what the truly powerful people in the world are really up to, events like the "retreats" at Bohemian Grove unquestionably show that they do communicate in channels to which the vast majority of humanity is not privileged. It's to be expected that the people whose decisions actually effect change in the world would know one another to at least some extent, and would work together when appropriate. I don't know about secret cabals running the world, but it's obviously true that the ultra-wealthy have far more say in what goes on in the world than do the rest of us.<br /><br />I think that small conspiracies are common, but that all-consuming, earth-shaking conspiracies are unlikely at best. By "small conspiracies" I mean people working together towards some aim (how this aim is perceived, as good or evil, is irrelevant) without letting others in on the fact that they're working together. As a pretty big example of a "small conspiracy," consider the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). If you don't know, ALEC is a group consisting of a membership that is kept confidential but that is known to consist of state and other legislators (i.e., politicians) and representatives of a number of industries and corporations. These corporate interests in ALEC write legislation that serves their purposes and that is presented in a way that is politically tactful (i.e., hiding its real agenda while seeming all pro-puppies and kittens...) and present this legislation to the politicians who then (sometimes) put this corporate-written legislation forth as their own proposals before their legislative bodies. And, of course, they don't mention that such and such industry literally wrote their own laws. That, to me, is a conspiracy, and, although ALEC is kind of extreme, that sort of thing happens in little ways constantly and pretty much everywhere, as far as I can tell.Mike Pisanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12038489899361461219noreply@blogger.com
