If they truly hold all the money, power, and secrets...why give us any leeway at all?
Why put billions into health care to save lives...and not just let the weaker ones die off to save money and resources?
Could anyone or anything be that much of a sociopath that satisfaction gained over decades or centuries totally outweighed the human nature of instant gratification?
NEW WORLD ORDER PLAN: "A hair-raising nuclear confrontation in Korea may, towards the end of the period, threaten man's very survival." [Peter Lemesurier, "The Armageddon Script", p. 223, 1981; NOTE: Lemesurier is a major New World Order author]
I have read many, what's, who's, and speculative how's....never a decent why. So please members of ATS...tell me why.
Why even offer us money to advance education.

I have been mulling this around in my head since I was first introduced to conspiracy theories, and lately it's been nagging at me quite a bit.

Am I supposed to believe that at this moment in time, and perhaps for centuries before...that an elite class of people or "gods", took it upon themselves to create a structure of society that takes away our rights and freedoms (albeit most of us unknowingly) for their own greedy purposes of power or money or sadistic pleasure?
It doesn't add up to me and I'll explain why.

Is it because physical torture fell out of fashion in the dark ages and ever since man has sought to control the will and mental being of others through manipulation of thought?

Ancient cultures feared the wrath of their "gods" if they fell out of line and more often then not, it appears their "gods" were quite wrathful and would smite an entire generation or two over a mere slight.
If there were any true "gods" ruling over us right now..I'm sure we have slighted them, and yet here we remain.
Humans, imho...have become lazy , and seek instant gratification and over the centuries have sought anything to make life less complicated and not more so. So with that being said does it make sense to create an intricately woven conspiracy to control the masses of people on earth, all the while having the resources to simply round them all up and eliminate them at your own free will?
I cannot fathom a group creating a scenario of world domination knowing full well they would never see the fruits of their labor in their own lifetime.
If they truly hold all the money, power, and secrets...why give us any leeway at all? Why even hint at us that we have somewhat control over the course of our life? Why even offer us money to advance education, or because we are poor and cannot feed our families? Why put billions into health care to save lives...and not just let the weaker ones die off to save money and resources? After all, if it is the plan to cull the population of the world what are they wasting money and giving false hope for?

You had me glued to your replies...right till the final explanation.
Sorry...even a greedy individual or group IMHO would take a lackadaisical approach to such a grand scheme.

I think we look for a group of controllers to blame/explain; for our own inhumanity to each other.
I'm guilty of looking for a conspiratorial excuse as well. Especially this one...
