Sorry to misunderstand your point Sir.

 

For me, the whole lot are compromised. US and UK governments for sure. Big Pharma runs the medical Industrial complex. Big Oil. The Chemical industry. The Military complex. Israel lobby, They all have a bigger say than the guy or gal in the street.

 

Although elected bods talk the talk, when elected,  they don't walk the walk. And guess what? The financial industry is the ultimate decision maker for the west. One could be forgiven in thinking that Joe and Jane in the street are simply a nuisance.

 

There were 200 independent newspapers in the US when I was young. And as many TV stations. Where are they now? Gone! Just a handful now rule the roost.

 

The WHO is the biggest threat to human health ever, Yet the MSM keeps deathly quiet.

 

 

MMMM ……. this kind of sweeping list of villains (governments, Big Pharma, Big Oil, the WHO, the media, Israel, finance, etc.) is exactly how conspiracy thinking works:
Lots of blame, zero evidence, and everything framed as part of some hidden master plan.
Why is this so attractive to people? Well, complexity is uncomfortable,  it’s so much easier to believe in grand, evil forces pulling the strings than to accept that the world is in reality, chaotic, flawed, and often just badly managed.
Then, patterns and blame feel safer. Conspiracy theories give people something — or someone — to blame. It simplifies fear into a story with heroes, villains, and certainty. And that mistrust is contagious; once you lose faith in one institution, it’s tempting to believe they’re all rotten. Suddenly, everything official becomes suspect — and everything “alternative” feels like truth.
At this point confirmation bias kicks in. People seek out sources that tell them what they already believe and dismiss everything else as “controlled” or “mainstream.”
You mentioned newspapers and TV shrinking — true but It’s more about media consolidation and profit than secret coordination. What’s often missed is that the internet has more than replaced them in terms of access to information. The real issue isn’t the lack of media — it’s the overload of it.
However, unfortunately, a huge number of people are either afraid of, or overwhelmed by, the internet and IT in general. That fear or confusion makes them vulnerable — they don’t know how to verify sources, spot misinformation, or separate fact from opinion. Either they didn’t listen at school or are to old to join in effectively
It’s not a media blackout — it’s a crisis of media literacy,  it has been more than replaced by the internet.
 Same with governments and pharma: there’s real criticism to be made, but blanket conspiracies help no one and solve nothing. In fact they hinder any real understanding of the issues People are trying to cover their ignorance with cynicism
If we’re going to talk about real problems, we need evidence, not just suspicion dressed up as insight.
