This indicates to me there is no master-conspiracy at work -- maybe a bunch of small, limited-purpose conspiracies -- but in their totality something beyond human control. It is a suicide cult, and the way to survive it is to have the common-sense to recognize it as such, and not join it. Don't drink the Kool-aid.
Not talking about conspiracies. In regard to malefactors at work in the country and the world, I consider that to be a confluence of interests of malevolent factions not conspiracies. What my comment refers to is the cycles and eras or yugas, or great years, or the white buffalo referred to by peoples of many cultures and times. For many, we feel the unseen hand of Spirit or God.
This is what leads to the conclusion that what's going on here is beyond human volition. Doesn't mean we're helpless to do anything about it, but it does mean our plans have to be in synch with these larger forces to have a chance of working. Please write more, if you would, about the cycles and eras and yugas, and how to connect with them. Perhaps this is part of your yoga practice.
We are not helpless. However, it only matters what we ourselves do. It does not matter what age or conditions we are born to, it only matters what we ourselves do. All conditions are equal. Yes, the study I have done and continue to do is part of a yoga practice. I am a certified instructor from the Ananda School of Yoga in the tradition of Paramhansa Yogananda. Pratyahara is self reflection, a deep search into the self and why we believe as we do and do as we do. Through this we can purify ourselves and evolve. It is one of the eight limbs of Raja Yoga. The Yugas is a deep subject. I would recommend a book The Yugas at Crystal Clarity Publishers. In essence it is a belief evident in many cultures across the world. The Greeks called it the Ages, of Lead, Bronze, Silver and Gold. The Hindu rishis call it the Yugas, ascending and descending ages of consciousness that are anapproximately 26,000 years cycle and based on the precession of the equinoxes. As we see the cycle of the day, with myriad beings going into sleep and dreams consciousness and waking into a higher state of consciousness and the cycle around the sun when myriad beings, migrate, bloom, die and go into hibernation. There are larger cycles involving the solar system and its travel through space. Kali, the age of deep materialism, when mankind does not discern anything beyond the base material world. The Yuga or age of Dwapara, which we are in now, we are in the ascending age of Dwapara, the age of energy, when mankind discovers and learns to manage the unseen energies, this ascending age began approximately 1700 and history show the miraculous advancement since that time. This is also a very dangerous and explosive age. We have barely begun. The next age or Yuga is Treta, the age of the mind, when mankind accomplishes his aims through the mind, he performs miraculous feats, builds miraculous civilizations. The final and pinnacle age is Satya, the age of Spirit, when man walks with God and angels and many soul transcend from the wheel of Yugas and time. It is a most beautiful and fulfilling and hopeful philosophy. As we ascend the wheel of consciousness fewer and fewer souls will incarnate as the vibrations become higher. And then the cycles begins to descend through lower and lower consciousness once again. The Lakota Sioux and other tribes had the philosophy of the White Buffalo, the Buffalo stands on one leg in the dark age equivalent to Kali, and then on 2 legs in Dwapara, 3 legs in Treta and 4 legs in Satya. In Kali, man is predominately evil, and the world is brutal. In Dwapara good and evil are nearly balanced. As we ascend, good become predominant and the earth more lovely and peaceful. It is a very deep and wide study. But I have found it the most profound. All religions can co-exist within this philosophy.
There is definitely some unseen forces in these attacks on life sustaining existence. Some inevitable cycle at play.

Yes, the alleged 'conspirators' are often as clueless as the conspired-against. They believe their own propaganda, as noted in my 'Reification' post: https://peterdanielmiller.substack.com/p/reification?sd=fs
