Conspiracy theories are little more than metaphysics of power. They often speak about power structures which shall exist according to them and so explain the world we live in.

According to the franco-luxemburgish historian Stéphane Bern true conspiracies were difficult to make and even more diffcult to succeed. Niccolo Machiavelli whote instead that the initial phase, the opaque phase of an conspiracy is easy to prevent or to crackdown, but difficult to perceive, and the final phase is difficult to stop, but for all to see. Bern and Machiavellis descriptions of conspiracies are fascinating, because they don’t ask if but how a conspiracy happens.

The conspiracy of a „secret world government“ or „deep state“ is in one sense so fascinating because it is more an idea about a phantom which pull strings and is the „true source of power“ whithout thinking about the carrots and sticks which power structures need in human societies to exist. Such conspirational synarchies or elites are often seen as „satanistic“, because such ideologies of a devil’s sect roots to the which hunts even before the protestant reformation. The source of power is also seen by these theorists as the source of absolute evil, which reminds of the Lord of the Ring fiction where the evil Dark Lord and antagonist of the epic wants to rule the world through the magical and malificiently dangerous „One Ring“.

The simplicity and etravagance of conspiratory arguments are for many nowdays too attractive for many who are desperate for simple but baseless answers to complex solutions. Instead we should observe the true conspiracy before our own eyes: Donald Trump is the real „Lord of the Lies“: he said more than 35.000 lies or misleading informations within his four years as US-president.

Metaphysics of power, or the conspiracy of global power

An anonymous elite would govern the world, according to some, but such stuff I don’t believe something without substancial proof. Claims, how logical they can seem cannot be solid proofs. And even if power comes normally through bare force, money, authrority or institutionised positions – so no society can be ruled by such claimed anonymous fantoms (exept from God or the natural laws). The „world-elitist agenda“ is even more absurd seeing that the world becomes more and more multipolar, while the corporate elite members like D. Trump, E. Musk and Ye (Kanye West) are more opportunists who have their own agenda, then thinking about costums, morals and laws. Far left and far right thinkers and activists are nowadays thinking that every bad thing has its roots from the elite or the system. Global capitalism and multicultural globalisation are more and more feared. Christian ultraconservaties could think that the complicated changes are part of a plot from the Antichrist, but as History often tells: the world is a brutal place even without malevolent demons. Small goods doesn’t need to have their source from a greather or higher good. In the same way a temporal evil doens’t need to have its source from a grether or highest evil. There can be bad actions triggert out by good intentions and vice versa.
