The reality is that the dynamic of power more than allows for the continued progression of technique, outside of any secret conspiracy, and as this explanation is so vastly simpler, it should be taken as given over fantastical assertions regarding a secret plan.

There are a lot of elements involved here, but what it all comes down to is the anthropomorphizing of an observed series of complex events as having a human (or alien, reptilian, etc.) face.

The "Will to Power" develops in men within to context of the power dynamic of organized, hierarchical systems, as thus every drive is toward furthering power, which resulted in centralized control and ultimately in the development of the technological system, which is power made corporeal, as it were, and there is no singular human force capable of guiding this. Technology is the only thing calling the shots at this point. All of this conspiracy babble about secret elites amounts to a complex delusion, developed to allow people to understand an inhuman system in human terms; the propaganda implications are also terribly obvious, as the idea of individuals being responsible for all of this makes it utterly impossible to indict the system itself.

All of the people pointed out as "conspirators" are simply managing the present system of technological development, as when it is examined fully, and understood, it becomes clear that what is happening now is the only thing that could conceivably happen. You can disagree with managerial technique - the argument that they should rely less on violence and more on propaganda is possibly valid - but you cannot argue the necessity of a managing body to control such a complex and interdependent system. The communists discovered this dynamic when they tried to create their "classless society". Denying these obvious realities is simply an effect of conditioning, mainly through propaganda, although the incapacity of most human beings to understand a mechanism capable of driving a specific agenda without consultation of individuals plays a very large role in making the propaganda manageable.

As the reality of a managerial class is largely obvious, the conspiracy community then moves into either aliens, reptilians, or "secret ancient bloodlines". All of this is based on the same 'evidence' regarding the ubiquitous presence of ancient symbols of power, which does not amount to proof of aliens, reptilians or ancient secret bloodlines, given that symbolism of previous forms of power are always adapted by new incarnations of power; this is only logical. Power breeds with power, so the possibility of some manner of genetic relationships exists, but remains utterly irrelevant, and does nothing to prove that there is a "secret plan" beyond the continued development of techniques of control through the obvious and evident aspects of human nature. Any and all malevolence on the part of the ruling class results from the nature of power itself, which is again, absolutely necessary to maintain the functionality of a system based on absolute order. Whether or not a member of the managerial class gets off on the idea of dead Iraqi children is no more relevant than whether a factory worker is fantasizing about sex or video games while he pushes buttons and pulls levers.

Anyone involved in this system is no more or less "guilty" than the people running it. Blaming "secret elites" for the inhumanity of this system amounts to a childish need to moralize a reality which exists outside of any form of human morality.

I have elaborated on this extensively in the pages of this thread, so I won't repeat it all, but would be glad to debate any specific point, as this is one of the prime delusions of the conspiracy culture which prevents it from comprehending the reality situation.
