what he is saying is that yes there are people out there trying to control things, but you can't have control! that is the illusion that they want you to believe, that they are all powerful, that there is nothing you can do about it.
I recently watched David Attenboroughs Life in the Undergrowth~ which is about insects and one thing that I thought of afterwards is that the impulse that creates life has no qualms with deception. Nature uses deception all the time. So its not surprising that this would show up for humanity in a calculated way. Judging from nature we'd assume this trickery as one of life's basic patterns arising from predator and prey interactions. My reply to do people conspire.
@texasB666 Everything in moderation (including using this cliche) it takes some control to do just about anything. This basic need goes awry when people feel or believe they are separate from life and threatened by it which leads to an escalation of a need to control it or them or those people etc. Peace
I'm sure its true that no one person is in control but to say that certain groups don't have more relative control is silly. The owners of the Federal Reserve probably have a wee bit more control over economic patterns than you or I.
@summondadrummin that is kinda true but i think that Mckenna speaks for himself aswel. I think he means its a bit dumb to WANT control in the first place because there is no such thing. Its very very VERY complicated to seek control. Just take a look at this world today which is running on socalled "intelligence". I believe intelligence is our downfall. We need wisdom.
I love TM, but I hate this argument. "No one's in control -- it's all just spiraling chaos" seems too naive for my tastes. it frees oppressors of responsibility and encourages the rest of us to be pusillanimous pawns.
@fawazr It's my belief that people don't know how not to be a pawn, that most people want to be controlled or else why would we all live this way. Why would we all hang our heads and let the oppressors do what they want. It is all spiraling chaos and in the grand scheme this life isn't all that defines you, no one controls my thoughts, my dreams and my truth.
@ajones123ful Shrooms grow next to manure. I'm all for hearing this silly man's prose, it makes more sense than either christianity, atheism, or the scientific belief that the universe began 13.7 billion years ago.

@samah101 you can say that spiritual garbage all you want but when it comes down to it, if you do not stand up and fight for anything, the Khazardian Zionist Jews will ruin your lives! Fluoride in the water! Estrogen in the bottles! ADHD! AUTISM! CANCER! DIABETES! AMERICAN FOOD! MONSANTO! TOXINS! Wake up!!!! The fact is that their are evil groups out their out for control and you cannot let them have their control or you will end up dead, and they will end up with the wealth they don't deserve.
@AllDimensionalFilms there are two paths, selfless service and spiritual awareness, you will till be saved in selfless service. but how do you actually do something to fight people in control, and why? they die soon
@Shenmuetuga they're laughing because he used a euphemism for pubes. tptb would prefer to differ that no one is in control. the top of the control food chain (intn'l banksters, corporate heads) have bought every political gov't of this world... lock, stock and barrel. but, who is controlling them?
good point terence! very witty! (BUT) one has to take a stand? looking out or looking in... im getting to a point in my life where i want to be looking out... p.s. the road to hell and all that...lol
An excerpt from "Eros and the Eschaton" i gotta say every single piece of that talk is full of undelying criticism you can't swallow at once, so divining it into smaller clusters is a clever move... unless you do it for different reasons.
McKenna was certainly an interesting and intelligent man, but he sounds like he was trying to dismiss the fact that there is a group or groups trying to control humanity. That is a naive assesment on his part. There is absolutely a Dark force that has had, and continues to have a grip over the affairs of this beautiful blue planet. It has been a tireless effort of a tiny minority and it is truly amazing the destruction, debauchery, and limitation it has imposed upon the inhabitants of Eaarth.
I like his input and he does make a good point but lets be honest? I don't follow the NWO crowd but it is a fact that The World Bank have openly admitted the plans for "Global Governance" and other euphemistic terms concering Eugenics. During these propaganda pieces they also state how Al Queda is the worst terrorist threat PAH! We all know US and Israel are the worst terrorist states in the world.
Please don't dignify this JasonSims1984-guy with comments. It's not worth the pointless argument. All his responses are negative and directed at people associated with "drugs".
Jason Simms 1984 is obviously unenlightened, just some frightened nobody afraid of the truth. I believe his sort thrived in the times of the catholic inquisition. Pitiful really. It will take many incarnations before his sort return to the essence. Peace
Historiography? LOL! He also can't pronounce anything properly. He reminds me of someone who is completely mentally retarded but believes that they're very intelligent.
WOW! He's so absolutely insane that he can't complete an entire sentence. This is the exact kind of tangential way of speaking that's exhibited by schizophrenics. It's so distorted. Only someone high on drugs or who has brain damage caused by drugs could find this man intelligent. It's the same way that stoners think that Scooby Doo is the most brilliant thing they've ever witnessed. This guy is a classic alien conspiracy theorist. Totally whacko -- anal probe and everything.
@JasonSims1984 You've demonstrated that you are able to listen to sounds he generates, but are so far from comprehending his words that you've attributed beliefs to him which are polar opposite to the ones he espouses. He was not a conspiracy theorist, in fact the ENTIRE point of this video was that humanity is too chaotic to control, and in his discussions on aliens he shows nothing but amusement at the idea that advanced beings capable of crossing light years have any interest in our anuses.
The trick with Mckenna is that you have to be able to comprehend his message, not just listen to his words. You're listening to him through a filter you created. A filter that says everything this man is about to say is crazy, let me try to find how this relates to drugs. In using this bullsh*t filter, you completely miss the point, and intelligence behind the mans words. It's really sad but, people like you could use drugs more than anyone, just to pry open your boundaries.
@rtofield When i first took shrooms i totally lost control and guess what? i had the time of my life. The best time! now I have an incredible disdain for control. i think it's a waste of a perfectly good life. those who seek complete control of their lives end up breaking into pieces where they can't get this thing. Those who seek to control others end up alone and negated. Control filters you from 99% of life's experience.The meaning of life is not a cozy 9-5 with benefits,go LIVE you tools!
@ConerTheStoner Control? Edward L. Bernays , my Uncle, who passed into Jewish Heaven at 102 Years of Age, would laugh in Terrence's face. McKenna has the Austrialin Desease: "HEAD IN THE SAND."
@ConerTheStoner the meaning of life is entirely subjective, relative, and individualized, for some people a stable 9 to 5 with benefits is all they've ever wanted and they'd give anything to have it. who are we to judge them on what they want?
@BigGift1 theres no fucking way to get out until death where you will still be remembered under the system there is no escape unless you live on a new planet with a new way of all things
@CMLaneLV As long as you are aware that you, us, we, are part of a system of control, like the Matrix, then you take steps to minimize it to a trickle. Learn as much as you can about your controllers and masters and beat them at their own game, they've been at this for many years recruiting the best minds in control and manipulation techniques, read this: Edward L. Bernays - Propaganda (how the media molds your mind) (1928). Bernays was a double nephew of psychoanalysis pioneer Sigmund Freud.
but to what extent - this is what McKenna is trying to emphasize (trying to chill out the major conspiracy nuts who tend to hang around the psychedelic/radical-philosophy community)
@alliant Conspiracies happen all the time. The fact that some people give them serious consideration is lost on those who fail to see the big picture. The latter lack the capacity, even on psychedelics, to comprehend what the former have the capacity to perceive. Then there's those who attend to conspiracies while lacking the capacity to discern between real or psyop.
@crackahcrackah Hell with some superficial research it looks like McKenna IS a jew. So of course he's going to facetiously mention jews, conspiracies, and power. I had my suspicions about this guy, even more after hearing this speech. Yeh sure man. No one's in control. I won't risk a tasing/beating/mugging/kidnapping if I don't pay taxes, speed every where, travel with out a license plate, etc.
The fact you singled out McKenna as a possible conspiracy member has driven me to the reassurance that I shouldn't be paying too much attention to people like you lol. Forgive me for my insulting tone.
I'm aware of the great extent of conspiracy in this world. But the central point is that there are so many competing conspiracies + the overwhelming chaos of reality going against anyone's attempt to control it all, that = there is no overarching single conspiracy running the world, as far as I can tell. I take a lot of my perspectives on the matter from Robert Anton Wilson, who was very observant on conspiracy theories as well as psychedelics.
But is the "Great Attractor" or"The transcedental object End of Time" behind it all?. Behind of what? When TM said that everything is code, is there something hidden behind this universal language? The only proof for me is that TM's shamanic dream is like an entropic soup of human imaginative co-creation. To explain code psychedelics is a compulsive urge of a worrisome man for saving the world. But hairdressers discovery of a hairmat for cleaning up oil on the coast is the Real Attractive Thing.
He is the greatest well known philosopher that ever graced the face of teh Earth, but the truth of the matter is many people have come to the same conclusions in the past 50 years, and as time goes on, more and more people will be just as enlightened. It takes being intelligent in the mechanical side of the brain and the creative, spiritual side.. Schools can only test mechanical intelligence and only exercise that part of the brain most of the time. We need to change that equation.
The ones in control think they are in control, when in fact we are all born free and that's that. Try to die free, that's something I want to do. Diversions!
@Roopfert When TM, as a humorous Guru surrounded with mostly admirers, bluntly says that "No one is in control" that's for some people a kind of relieve (especially the laugh above all of the woman) to realize that everyone, on different levels of course, is coping with the same problems of the ever chancing world.
That's why I'm astonished of TMs 2012 prediction.When you take chance of things seriously then is his just 2012 too blunt. A cyncial part of me sees it as a smart publicity stunt..
TMs ideas of Logos (his epistemology) or the Great Attractor have also elements of common conspiracy theories, only it's more intellectual sublimated on 'higher' level: Cosmos as complot. TM inspired by psychedelica, I Ching and Maya knowledge made contact with those abstract structures, his own assumptions, and produced a prediction. This wish for universal structure that explains everything and fix time on an exact date is a form of longing that wants to show us a moment of absolute contol.
@BPmmxFX I dunno about that. Do you find comfort when you say 'i'm in control of my life'? Cause i like to think about that. I don't think i can't control 'myself'. We know our bodies die one day. So how can we control it? we can't. Which is cool. Cause than everything is possible :) I'm with Mckenna on this one. It's the ego that says : 'i'm in control'.
In an absolute sense no one is contolling even TMs so called Logos as attractor isn't in control. TM hides his wishfull thinking behind intelligent but assumptive concepts. But relative there is a lot of contol among people and of course also self-control. A lot of rulers are in control with fine systems based on intimidiation. Maybe that's why prophet's, in concern with human kind as an ultimate act of control, forecast extreme happenings in the future: hoping to make rulers chance their plans.
But 'our' out of control start with language. Every word unknown can make people suspicious, especial when power is involved: there's something behind the mask of image. Who power 'understands' is leveling positions. He or she who understand isn't setting a self above the other. Presumptuous knowers, in a sense they demand in concern too much of the world, look from above. They tend to make predictions inspite of the real chaos: people as total mass (or mess!) is unfolding also in abrupt ways.
I quote his point of power and aggravation . but i'm pushing it to the left brain frontier.
we are focused on what is and what is not since our eyes understand the view
and we dont know shit, ancient history has been forgotten, and yes, no one out there has introduced themselves,properly. Fact is that centralization of power is evident to all seen eyes of internet generation, you just can't deny it.Fact also that we'll do lots till we face our true self,nevertheless i believe there is illuminati
I've thought of that for a while now. Once they get control (assuming the worst case scenario happens and they do get total control of us) I believe there would be a MASSIVE internal power struggle. Eventually maybe even leading to a civil war among them... However it will be far from civil.
Controllers and manipulators suffer from neurosis, that is why they want it. Ultimately they suffer and fail, but they could plan and plot for years even across generations, they become intoxicated with the idea of being 'top dog'. However they (elites) probably compete against each other as well, so they destroy each other and lack any real unity as a class or group.
@diogeneslaertius666 the essential problem is the terminology itself at some point, for what is meant by control?
its a shame some of our best human beings areas naive as this but nevertheless it is true
its really hard to look at his work outside of certain specific areas today as anything short of NWO cant mixed with what ultimately amounts to just more metaphysics.
and this is made clear by one of his opening statements about conspiracy theory being a sort of epistemological cartoon
@diogeneslaertius666 this one classification by him says more than anything else really about the insubstantial nature of his analysis on this issue.
nowhere in all his work is a meticulous examination of the fundamental subject matter and yet he is famous for this sort of perspective
i used to profoundly respect and even admire this man and i see him now as greasing the skids for the transhuman singularity and the advent of a one world government etc
@diogeneslaertius666 Well I'm glad you feel the need to let us know how often you repudiate him. One of the main values that Terrence suggests we adopt is that of incredulity of authority. Not to follow. To always question those that would seek to rule. How is this value 'greasing the skids' towards that end? I can foresee possible argument on some of his other values but they would of course be based on the belief that there is one force seizing control of which I for now remain unconvinced.
@CalmlyHysterical you and many other people today are in serious danger of believing yourselves into oblivion.
what good does it do to extol inspection of those who seek to rule when all means of actually investigation or rebellion become so impractical that they are quite literally impossibilities?
this is a naked and deterministic piece of hypocrisy in my view.
@CalmlyHysterical all you need do to obtain a baseline probability in such matters is to see how common place apathy is in contrast to the irrefutable complexity of existence
yes the crowd all cluck their tongues in agreement: everything is fine, go back to sleep.
@diogeneslaertius666 Believing ourselves into oblivion? What? I think I just implied I make a point of examining the origin of all my beliefs. The complexity of existence is the very argument he is making against a single controlling force. That the nature of existence IS far too complex for any one force to rule, at least for any extended period of time. Now I am not at all arguing that there are not sinister forces at work in our world seeking control or that we don't need to be constantly. .
@diogeneslaertius666 . . .vigilant in defending against them. What pisses me off is the apparent infestation of arrogance within the community of people who try to expose us 'sheep' to the truth as you so aptly demonstrated. I have been called a sheep many times for simply raising questions about this issue before even disputing anyones views. Did I say I think we should ignore threats to our freedom? No. I simply said I didn't believe in a single controlling force with that much power over us.
The chains that bind us are many, but the root of all of them is Fractional Reserve Banking and the power given to the few, to create money from nothing and to loan it at interest to the rest of us. This is what creates the competition, the consumerism, the violent crime, the taxation (theft by the State).
@CalmlyHysterical the fact that you are still grappling with the issue suggests a certain morbidity and atrophying of the tissues already
that one can come across such delusion and not (out of instinct) run headlong into it is a sign of sickness and lack of intellectual conscience
it is a perspective which rejects the apparent structure that is readily available at every hand in favor of a dilettante-like naivete - that it is widely accepted is an indication of how far the disease has spread
@diogeneslaertius666 indeed, perhaps such men appear as carrion scavengers and indicators of a civilization already in full decline, a civilization without center, values or the means thereto
their clay feet shatter as they run over the bronze souls which make up their hierarchies?
certainly it can be said that today there is no room left for an honest man
inherent supercomplexity bearing organic structural ordering is thus discharged as a new myth in the interest of disguising control
@diogeneslaertius666 Well that's all very poetic. Grappling with the issue? I just told you I don't believe. The fact that I remain open to the possibility of seeing evidence that convinces me otherwise is not grappling with the issue. I simply felt like a discussion tonight and you obliged. And I fail to see how grappling with any issue represents atrophy. I would have thought quite the opposite. I respect your passion for human freedom but you're a strange one. And now I AM going back to sleep
@diogeneslaertius666 Your argument also seems to be based on his value's potential corruptibility. That a value is inherently negative if it has the potential to be used by others for negative means. Any idea, policy, religion or act could potentially be used for evil. His seem to me to be noble in intent and end. Why does the fact that others are manipulating them negate their inherent wisdom? We can still fight those threats without deviating from a 'value'.
@diogeneslaertius666 And ideas and values are what give rise to action. Are you honestly saying values and ideas don't have the power to shape the future? I totally understand your argument about the impracticality of rebellion past a point in time. Like I said, I am not arguing for passivity here, and I don't think Terrence is either is my point. He is simply arguing against the idea that a single group is running or is close to running the world right now.
Terrence was half right. No one controls the world, but there are systems that control US.
The world is going through it's period at the moment. Everyones getting more and more freedom, yet at the very same time, it's being taken away.
Eventually, through blood and fire, we will overcome the struggle of the old versus the new, but until then, we are all going to continue to be manipulated further, until that event occurs.
Nobody is in control. People forget that this is a ride we are on. Can you control a roller coaster? No, you might think so,maybe you can bully the other passengers, but where would that get you? We will still be following the same path into the unknown.
The groups of people with money control the world. The elites, the robber barons, corporatists, bankers, politicians,..ect.. Am i missing this guys point because THERE ARE OBVIOUS FACTORS OF CONTROL!?
I think it's far more comforting to believe that nobody is running things. Cause if you look into it, it's provable that a few people are in control.
I respect McKenna but this is kinda dumb. If you just agree to believe that nobody is in control, it is far easier for people to control you cause you're not looking out for it. You just accept the reality you're being presented with.
I don't think that it is possible that one person or group of people controls the entire world. However, if you do not think that that there are in existence malevolent forces that wield tremendous amounts of power and influence in the goings on of the world, then you are hopelessly delusional.
I feel pity for Terence and his followers i really do sincerely...Cos i have been in that path of ancient eastern mysticism and spirituality. Only fact is aliens and rest all is false..get this and you save your life and go to another timeline else we would remain always in this timeline forever
all of your blathering comments are useless..............how can we all sit idly and resort to regurgitating non-novel information......to those who can see already..........Terrence gave US these tools...and used them himself to stir the stagnate waters of our reality.........completely useless......might as well extend these middle ages......
I agree with terrence in a metaphysical sense... everything is a natural process so nobody is truly in control. But i think it hard to deny that their are some who have more "influence" and are more "controlling"... Granted, only because we let them. I find there's value in following conspiracy as long as you aren't doing it in the "blame game" mentality or the "It's all because of this race". Any legitimate attempt to figure out how to stop tyranny though, I think valuable though, no?
Unless ya wanna be under control or something, the rejection of the dominator culture is easy. Terence spoke of a deeper meaning to things, and when the culture is superficial, one can look at it and find little of substance. It's all pretty easy to understand, for me anyhow..I get it. There is only this moment anyway, and this one and this one etc..No one controls you.
@informationplz You do control you, but uhh..... sometimes the guy who shows up at your door with the handcuffs can be annoying. Maybe it might be valuable to know a thing or two about who sets the policy that fill our prisons with weed smokers. Not that it's worth being stressed about.... But again, healthy speculation about who is using you as a pawn might be okay. More natural than staring into the TV being lied to like a humanoid blob. I get what you mean though
@informationplz Do you need money? Do you need clothing? Do you need to pay your taxes? Do you need to take care of your family? No you don't need to do any of these things. But, the vast majority of us DO do these things. This is control.
the bilderberg's "the rich the government exc" are the example of groups trying to take control but they will never fully grasp it and the most perfect example is hitler ..even well collected religus groups like cathelics or christians ..you have your peak of control till you realize your ownly a ripple within a multidimensional universe with forces always more powerful then you or even itself ...
I know all about that stuff and its possible but there is no actual concrete proof what their agenda is and what they discuss And even if they do control everything, what are you going to do about it? Hold a sign on a street corner?
Also: Cite credible sources, please? Abraham-Hicks is most emphatically NOT a credible source for making assertions of fact. Poetic though it may be, the New Agey bullshit is what "they" (who?) want you to believe.
And try the reality tunnel of the "sheeple" on for a change. There's a reason people refuse to wake up. If you think that by coming across as a paranoid idiot you're going to help then you're sorely mistaken.
Terrence speaks words of humble wisdom and power here. Coming to terms with truth is painful. It's scary to come to terms with the idea that we seem to be locked into a (mostly) invisible grid of control and conspiracy.
But it's even scarier to fathom that the suffering caused by churches, governments, corporations etc. is not due to some great and sinister evil but rather common human apathy and incompetence.
@zenlikethat Yeah, because the greater evil is the indifference of good men. The common people who let shit go to pot...the power go to people who want to lord themselves over the lessers.
I agree with some stuff that he says but to say nobody is in control and that conspiracy theories are for children is not a credible statement considering all the documented proof that shows many conspiracies along history. Maybe he thinks global warming isn't a scam, or that 9/11 isn't either, or war on drugs, or mental control through media, food and music, or all the masonic symbols and propaganda in the media, films you can see everyday if you pay some atention..I don't think he's right.
The Devil controls the Vatican who work with the Rothschild Dynasty who own and control everything in the world, 13 Evil families as well, McDonalds, Duponts, Todds, Collins, ect
you're likely to be controlled wherever you live...if you're not, congratulations...i live in america, and i try not to think about it. at least we have an intelligent president now who i can respect, that's a small step
I'm sorry to disappoint you man but Obama comes from the same people as Bush. Its a predetermined democracy, and the corporate media crushes anyone who tries to have a say. Check Youtube vids of Ron Paul being belittled by these idiot anchors who twist his word. What a pity, he's such a genuine man, it seems he honestly has the USs' best interests at heart.
Yea, I agree with Terrence that anyone who thinks they have it all figured out, clearly is either in on it (so s/he wouldn't be telling you) or they haven't really got it figured out.
Its like that famous quote from Hitler, it goes something like: The mind is confronted with a conspiracy so monumental it boggles the mind.
How should I say, much of what you see Governments doing all over the world, is now, to a large degree, highly orchestrated. It's just my belief. From Osama Bin Laden to healthcare reform, the ultra-wealthy power elites call most of the major shots.
what he is saying is that yes there are people out there trying to control things, but you can't have control! that is the illusion that they want you to believe, that they are all powerful, that there is nothing you can do about it.

McKenna was certainly an interesting and intelligent man, but he sounds like he was trying to dismiss the fact that there is a group or groups trying to control humanity. That is a naive assesment on his part. There is absolutely a Dark force that has had, and continues to have a grip over the affairs of this beautiful blue planet. It has been a tireless effort of a tiny minority and it is truly amazing the destruction, debauchery, and limitation it has imposed upon the inhabitants of Eaarth.

But is the "Great Attractor" or"The transcedental object End of Time" behind it all?. Behind of what? When TM said that everything is code, is there something hidden behind this universal language? The only proof for me is that TM's shamanic dream is like an entropic soup of human imaginative co-creation. To explain code psychedelics is a compulsive urge of a worrisome man for saving the world. But hairdressers discovery of a hairmat for cleaning up oil on the coast is the Real Attractive Thing.

He is the greatest well known philosopher that ever graced the face of teh Earth, but the truth of the matter is many people have come to the same conclusions in the past 50 years, and as time goes on, more and more people will be just as enlightened. It takes being intelligent in the mechanical side of the brain and the creative, spiritual side.. Schools can only test mechanical intelligence and only exercise that part of the brain most of the time. We need to change that equation.

TMs ideas of Logos (his epistemology) or the Great Attractor have also elements of common conspiracy theories, only it's more intellectual sublimated on 'higher' level: Cosmos as complot. TM inspired by psychedelica, I Ching and Maya knowledge made contact with those abstract structures, his own assumptions, and produced a prediction. This wish for universal structure that explains everything and fix time on an exact date is a form of longing that wants to show us a moment of absolute contol.

In an absolute sense no one is contolling even TMs so called Logos as attractor isn't in control. TM hides his wishfull thinking behind intelligent but assumptive concepts. But relative there is a lot of contol among people and of course also self-control. A lot of rulers are in control with fine systems based on intimidiation. Maybe that's why prophet's, in concern with human kind as an ultimate act of control, forecast extreme happenings in the future: hoping to make rulers chance their plans.

But 'our' out of control start with language. Every word unknown can make people suspicious, especial when power is involved: there's something behind the mask of image. Who power 'understands' is leveling positions. He or she who understand isn't setting a self above the other. Presumptuous knowers, in a sense they demand in concern too much of the world, look from above. They tend to make predictions inspite of the real chaos: people as total mass (or mess!) is unfolding also in abrupt ways.

@diogeneslaertius666 Your argument also seems to be based on his value's potential corruptibility. That a value is inherently negative if it has the potential to be used by others for negative means.

I'm sorry to disappoint you man but Obama comes from the same people as Bush. Its a predetermined democracy, and the corporate media crushes anyone who tries to have a say. Check Youtube vids of Ron Paul being belittled by these idiot anchors who twist his word. What a pity, he's such a genuine man, it seems he honestly has the USs' best interests at heart.

Yea, I agree with Terrence that anyone who thinks they have it all figured out, clearly is either in on it (so s/he wouldn't be telling you) or they haven't really got it figured out.
Its like that famous quote from Hitler, it goes something like: The mind is confronted with a conspiracy so monumental it boggles the mind.

Intelligent?
How do you come across this observation?
Because I have never actually heard the man speak,except when he called Kanye West a "Jaggass".
All the rest has been just all the usual robotic rhetoric we can expect of politicians.
What has he done to earn your respect?
Winning a Peace Prize for remaining popular while sending men off to die in the sand,and to kill other men in the sand?
Is this why you "respect"(Revere) him?
Or is it just because he cuts a pleasing image?

If you are an American you are, more than likely, controlled to a great degree.

I'm not saying your wrong, and that us Americans aren't, I'm just wondering out of interest, how so?

How should I say, much of what you see Governments doing all over the world, is now, to a large degree, highly orchestrated. It's just my belief. From Osama Bin Laden to healthcare reform, the ultra-wealthy power elites call most of the major shots.
