i'm not trying to change your opinion, i'm just relating what i see occurring and i welcome the chance your posts provide me with to do so.
it's undeniable that their control is falling apart and creating new problems for them. i see two options for them:
1. they could continue seeking to maintain their control. given that recent ventures in this regard have dealt them abject failure, i do not at all see how this pursuit could be considered feasible by any person or agency who was clever enough to get themselves into such positions of power in the first place. they are losing ground and every effort at rectification is proving to be a patch that leaves tears elsewhere.
2. they could fold somewhat, and simply accept that the world is progressing into an integrated unit wherein the activities of each part benefit other parts as well as the collective as a whole. they will no longer have the domination they once had but will at least be afforded the comforts of life in modern society from not having driven it into the ground.
if you see another option please open my eyes to it. if you see them succeeding in their devices please show me evidence that any endeavor of theirs is yielding even the tiniest success. the one example i come up with is the somewhat successful media campaign to instill fear over swine flu (after the failed attempts [some still ongoing] at ramping up fear over sars, avian flu, and war/conflict with iran/n. korea/russia, mind you) , but that's hardly on par with their past machinations. these people are a dying breed and their ways are simply inconsistent with the world that developed alongside their agendas. if they keep it up they will have turned into the stupid dog who chases his own tail. . . and never catches it
