AMEN to most of your post; however, *sigh*, once you veer off into that "puppet-master" stuff, you really, really, REALLY lose me.

THANKS.

I know.

I wonder, often, what it would take for you to change your opinion about that. What set of predictions about that would have to transpire before you'd believe such were really going on?

I really don't think there's any room any more for using the word "theory" about it. Too much has been proven by too many witnesses and even insiders in too many such groups, imho.
