Ordinary people have no real way of ever knowing the truth or otherwise of the various conspiracy theories that abound, that's why they exist as a kind of outlet for all our uncertainties. The theories have interesting features in common though. Most noticeably, that there is a hidden power behind the visible hierarchy, that we know absolutely nothing about, and that this power today is almost certainly financial. Secondly that the extent of the power isn't known, and may cause wars and other international upsets, such as the kind of stock market tomfoolery that we allow for some reason. That much seems true in any case. Our next question then shouldn't be whether this power exists, but whether it will act for or against our own interests. We as `normal' people after all can never share in this power, that much we should be certain of. unless we take care of matters ourselves. In the best case, the power is morally completely neutral, interested only in gain as an end in itself, but in the worst case its purpose is more sinister. I don't yet know myself, and maybe can never know, but we should all at least make some effort to look harder at the world. I don't believe its accidental that so much mental effort today goes into the entertainment industry, because it's the chief means of sedation and distraction.
I have no idea whether the facts of Mullins' book are indeed facts. Men however, have been known to have secret meetings, in fact certain men like nothing more than a secret meeting. In a way the truth or otherwise of Mullins' assertions are immaterial, because the fact that these major doubts exist about the integrity of our governments is enough. Its dispassionately written and has a ring of authenticity, but what does that mean after all? It gets 4 stars for being stimulating reading.
