You're right, Ojcar. 'They' are not in total control, but to quote Terence McKenna that "no one is in control" is not right. For instance, who is in control of the wars in the world at the minute? 'Democratic' governments.,no! No such bodies exist. Who is in control of the world economic chaos that is worsening by the hour? The 'Democratic' governments! I think not.
Who controls the 'education' (indoctrination) in our schools? Governments., nope!
Who decides what medicines we can have, the 'extras' in our water, food and the air we breathe?
Existential statements don't cover it. Nope, my friend 'They' are not in control..., but they sure got a big chunk of it and statements like that will ensure total control very,very shortly.
