Questions quickly arise as to how, why and by whom such conspiracies could be carried out. A lack of what some consider credible, verifiable evidence is often the point of contention in such matters. Some see this lack of reliable information as being a fundamental facet, in the effectiveness of such conspiracies being carried out and kept from public knowledge. Most of our beliefs and opinions are based on the information we have about a particular subject. Unfortunately, it’s often difficult to trace the information back to its origin and whether or not it is factual, biased or just plain false. To make matters even more unclear, there is the tendency in many people to believe things simply because they want to, based on faith and fancy alone, regardless of the information available. This, of course leads to a world in which anything goes, personal theories become dogma and social divisions abound.

The search for truth and the meaning of life is a fundamental human quest. The predominant answers to such questions are often fed to us, in the forms of religion, corporate-sponsored science, and government authority. However, the light shed by independent institutional analysis, often reveals these to be the very sources of the conspiracies themselves. From this point of view, the history we’ve been taught, the news we see and read each day, the unnecessary products we're subliminally coerced to buy, the manufactured celebrities were encouraged to idolize; could all be viewed as cogs in some grand mechanism which keeps the majority of the population in a constant state of blind, entertained complacency and cyclical consumerism. A giant CON-game, played out on the masses of humanity for the benefit and safety of a few.
