(14,087 posts)I'm afraid I've already passed the suspicious/paranoid thresh hold. But as your post points out about the seeming invisible hand at work, there are a couple of places I put my suspicions.
There was the election theft of 2000, where a very powerful, oil-related family, heavily married to the CIA and the Saudi Royal family, stole an election right out in the light of day.
Then you look at the Saudi Royal family ownership stake in Fox News, and their long-standing association with Rupert Murdoch. Then you look at their oil production and income.
The Saudis (in 2012) produced 11.6 barrels of oil a day. At a comfortable (for them) rate of $100 per barrel, that adds up to an income of, roughly, $11.5 BILLION dollars PER DAY in income.....to one large family.
ELEVEN AND A HALF BILLION DOLLARS A DAY. That can buy some clandestine relationships with...well, with anyone they damn well please. Or else, I'm sure, in the mode of the bush family mafia, they can wellstone the opposition.
And they don't want women to drive cars. And Osama bin Laden's dad became extremely wealthy as their main general contractor. They really don't approve of ways of the people of the USA.
Then there are the banks. Then there are the chemical/military companies trying to corner the world's food supply, and THE US ALLOWS THAT!!!! WTF?? There are just too many things that show that hand you speak of at work.
Am I paranoid? Oh boy.
