The 20th century has seen an incredible concentration in the balance of power in America and the world. This concentration of power is what makes a global conspiracy possible. Any kind of organized movement, including conspiracies, becomes more difficult to manage as more players become involved. In a decentralized society more players must be involved in order to micromanage that society. Individual freedom is more a function of how decentralized a society becomes rather than form of government. For example, Christians living France (Gaul) during the occupation of ancient Rome had more freedom than Christians living today in modern France.
While many areas of the modern world have forms of government that provide greater legal protection from arbitrary government power there is a greater concentration of overall social power today than ever. Power that used to be wielded by individuals, families, and local communities is now gravitating towards national and international elites. This development is what makes global conspiracy possible.
Two of the three classes of societies in the world, totalitarian regimes and banana republics, are both characterized by a centralization of power. In totalitarian regimes power is centralized in the regime and in a banana republic, power is concentrated in the few who own everything: All that is necessary for a globalist conspiracy to control these societies is to use the appropriate combination of carrots and sticks to control or co-opt the elites.
The remaining class of society, the so-called free societies, would appear to be more decentralized. There are, however, centralized controls of critical apparatus that allows for national or international elites to maintain centralized control while developing an illusion of freedom.
In so called free societies elites can take control while cultivating an illusion of liberty by expanding liberties that fulfill psychological needs that humans share with animals, while at the same time suppressing liberties that uniquely fulfill psychological needs associated with man’s existence as humans created in God's image. In secular terms elites will expand opportunities to fulfill needs in the lower stages of Maslow's hierarchy of needs while suppressing or controlling the fulfillment of higher order needs.
In order to accomplish this elites need only strategic control of critical apparatus. Controlling things like the legal system, mass media, public education, popular culture and science will allow a very small number of people to control and define an entire culture. While this chapter will focus on the development of elitism in America, similar results hold in the rest of the so-called free world.
While the table below is not exhaustive, it gives a concise picture of just how much power has been concentrated. For example, fewer than 24,000 people get to define the legal system. About 200,000 people define the pop culture and 50,000 people define the education of the nation’s children. About 2 million people run the religious and social services. Businesses employing 100 or more make up only 2% of all business, but operate 15% of the establishments, employ about half of all workers, and finance about 57% of the total payroll in the United States. The grand total is about 4 million people, or 1.3 percent of the population. This is the real one percent.
The implications for conspiracies in general, and the conspiracy of Mystery Babylon in particular, is that controlling a so-called free society where power is highly concentrated can be accomplished by co-opting only those individuals and sectors that create the cultural architecture that defines interactions on society. Mystery Babylon only needs the cooperation of the one percent, and the rest are stuck with the consequences.
