All conspiracies are manipulative, that is why we have them. You are the one asserting various things about malignant soft-terrorism cells controlling governments. By doing this, you have presented a whole range of possibilities, without first having to make any specific, concrete suggestions on what those possibilities may be. Did the Illumnati sneak a man into a major political party, secure him a position of authority, and have him convince VIPs to include this clause in the NDAA... only to be thwarted by civil libertarians on the internet?
The mistake you are making is the same mistake the Western media made with Al Qaeda. They talked as if Al Qaeda was this formal, well-defined unit, a homogenous whole. Conspiracy isn't like that. When you and your conspiracy theory cohorts start going on about the Illumnati and the Seven Seats of Authority, there are never any names involved. I bet you can't give me the name of one single member of the Illumnati, who is alive, from a reputable news source (i.e. a newspaper with a circulation of at least 1,000,000). Talking about this vague group of people manipulating the world is pointless; like sandman pointed out, it accomplishes nothing. There are real conspiracists, with real names, and they don't wear capes and conspire to harm the middle-class and conceal their Xeno overlords.
