This isn't a question of fallibility - feel free to explain what you mean.

Governments are overtly attempting to control people. Powerful secret societies certainly use governments, but would also use subterfuge and trickery to direct attention. Governments would do this too, via special agencies. It's murky.

My point is that, while I agree with the issue identified, it's not clear how we're mitigating anything here. Our day is replete with moving the problem in lieu of retiring the problem.
