I believe there is a global elite or "Illuminati" which controls the world and the majority of the population. I feel it works like this: you can't control 6 billion people physically because there are too many people. But, you can do it by coup d'état of the mind, which is to persuade and pressure people through fear to think the way you want them to think, or preferably, not to think at all. You're like a farmer. You can control a whole vast herd of sheep because most of the sheep will follow the one in front, and those stragglers that don't immediately conform get the dose of fear from the sheep dog. On holiday last year I actually watched one sheep dog round up a whole herd of sheep and I thought, "F**k! This is how the human race is controlled!"

What happens is that, if you look at all dogmas, all cultures, all societies, they've got what I call a "hassle-free zone." This is that area within any culture, within each dogma (whether its a religious dogma or whatever), wherein you conform to the accepted thought and behavior of that dogma of that society. You're in the comfort zone (the hassle-free zone). No one's going to laugh at you or condemn you for being different, for expressing your uniqueness, because you're locked into the herd mentality, and you're conforming to what you're told you should be. When you step out of the herd mentality and you say, "Hey, I'm me. I'm a unique aspect of all that exists and, therefore, I'm not going to be frightened," then you immediately face hassle or ridicule or condemnation.

The fear of facing condemnation gets people to conform to what they think is acceptable to others rather than expressing who they really are. So, what we have in the world, I feel, as a result of this, is vast numbers of people, who are walking down the street every day and living their lives, not projecting at the world their really unique lives, but putting on a mask which says, "This is not really me, but this is what I think is acceptable so I can continue to live my life free from hassle." Therefore, if we are going to succumb to this fear of our own uniqueness, whoever (and its a very few) can actually set the limits in society of what is acceptable to say, do and think...can control vast numbers of people.

This is how a few people, in my opinion, control the world. They set the limits in society's dogmas of what is acceptable to be, think or say. And because of a fear of being different and facing hassle, most people conform to it.

I believe that the human race has developed a form of collective schizophrenia in which we are not only the slaves to this imposed thought behavior, but we are also the police force of it. The reason most people don't express their individuality and actually deny it, is not fear of what prime ministers and presidents think, it's what their families and their friends down at the bar are going to think of them.

I personally feel that the cause and the means through which a few people control our world is that we no longer respect our own right to be unique, and we no longer respect anyone else's right.
