I'll agree somewhat there is a one world government type conspiracy. In the real world we need globalization. Still, we are able to shape our own reality. We're still sane, we're aware of whats happening. I'm being pedantic about this right now.
If those seeking to shape your reality were successul even in part, how do you know your reality isn't distorted? because trust me, millions, hell billions have been spent attempting to shape your reality. They still spend massive bucks today to do just that. Why would they keep spending if there was no payback for them? keep in mind they do not have to convince all of you to change reality. Only a portion of you on a regular basis. Over time, the effect on the population is exponential.
