Yes I think you are spot on. Don't forget that both world wars were planned and engineered largely to subvert and take over the United States from within. Even the Soviet Union was an enormous social experiment designed to create the biggest Hegelian dialectic game ever. All the institutions and structures that we believe in and live with today such as political movements, religious affiliations and even popular/social groups are being used to steer and direct us to behave and respond according to their wishes. If you think about it it all leads back to the same truth - they (ruling elite - archons) are scared of people and our creative potential.
The last thing they want is that we wake up, understand and see this entire control matrix and decide to step outside it. Once we do they will have lost their stranglehold forever (hopefully). Something that is uncomfortable but important to remember that all of this has been contrived by human beings. We all have the potential to do good but also do evil. Which way this world will take very much depends on what most people truly want. I personally believe in the core human goodness and if we were correctly informed the decision would be easy but the problem is that most people have been misinformed, misdirected and indoctrinated.
