If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true; to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs..

From an educated perspective, my background is biotech/pharma, but of all the courses I ever took in university, the most incredibly mind-blowing one was Sociology.
There may not be secret societies and the like (we don't really know), but make no mistake -- the people with extreme power in this world are not the governments but people who serve as board members on several multi national giant companies.
To understand why the news is presented in a certain way, as well as why certain news makes it big yet others don't, you need to examine who owns the media companies.
One of the biggest examples in the sociology class I took was of MSNBC (this was actually a case study in the Sociology textbook). It examined how news on the Iraq 1 war was presented, and MSNBC clearly showed far less of the bombings and worded the incidents more gently than the other news stations during that same period about the same events - why? Because NBC was purchased by RCA, which was in turn owned by General Electric, of whose main business isn't making your microwave etc, but investment banking/financing (financing corporate ventures etc), heavy machinery (e.g. dam turbines), but finally -- missile propulsion systems!
I won't go into much other details, but the other massive thing you all need to read about, is what President Eisenhower talked about in his leaving speech from the 1960s? -- he said his greatest fear was that the USA was falling victim to a Military Industrial Complex -- where the state was trapped in a cycle of justifying war to create justification for heavy industry and research. There are also many studies that suggest that war is, without a doubt, the easiest way to jump start a nation's economy.
Finally, sociologists also believe that we are currently entrapped into what is known as the Medical Industrial Complex.
Some people have too much time on their hands.
1) Sex sells. Doesn't mean there's a hidden agenda.
2) Many shows have Easter Eggs buried in their episodes. Again, doesn't mean there's a hidden agenda. (Like Ned's kids having "666" as combined jersey numbers is more to do with the fact that they're Christian)

Without a doubt, wars are the best way for an ailing country to jump start their economy. It's happened many times in the past (1930-40's era Germany and USA are the best off-hand examples of this). A foreign threat is also a great way to get your public to forget about problems at home as well.

i have no idea how the music industry is involved really, something about satanic human sacrifice along those lines, i think souljah boi is apart of a conspiracy
"fuck a beat listen to the words in the damn song"
The guy that wrote bloodlines of the illuminati got setup and sent to jail pretty interesting mind blowing read.
However you can see Madona clearly believes just look at all the symbolism from her half time show.

The goal of big pharma at least in the states is to have people dependent on at least two drugs for the rest of their lives. Hence the mass push of vaccines like you've never seen before. Kids getting hit with them are the worst because of developing organs they are extremely sensitive to the crap thats in the shots. Whats crazy now is they are even pushing them on pregnant women which was always a big no no.
