Yeah, this is pretty basic as far as conspiracy goes. The Why Files did a pretty good episode on the elites, bohemian grove, Illuminati, etc

Eh, little too gullible.

If the world were really controlled by some singular shadowy cabal for so many years, we'd have a unified world by now, and things wouldn't be so chaotic. Populist idiots wouldn't be able to take power so easily and muck everything up.

It makes much more sense that the world isn't run by anyone, and just goes where the wind happens to blow it. This is far, far more harsh and frightening though, and not as sexy, so people don't really like the idea. Doesn't leave them anyone to blame for their problems.

Not saying I believe it, but the New World Order and WEF thing is somewhat compelling.
