I know precisely what it is that if happening, and it is so simple you will all disbelieve me.
Theye are, in a very real sense, like young children. In this case, they are acting as children whose curiosity has gotten the better of them and they start poking something... perhaps a pit-viper, or what have you. "I wonder what will happen if I do this..." Theye are so bemused with power that this whole "running the world" deal has become something of a giant toy, and to be honest, I think the children are getting bored. We all know too well what happens when bored children are left alone in the house.
So in a nutshell, we are ruled by a herd of bored children who are pushing the envelopes to amuse themselves and to breathe new life into that feeling of power so that they may again experience the thrills they used to get. It's just like a heroin addict upping his dose because the current cargo ain't cuttin' it no mo'. This brand of bemusement carries its own set of intrinsic hazards, the most noteworthy being perceptual creep wherein the landscape, changing slowly at first, gives rise to the readjustment of the psyche as to what defines "normal". Were Rip Van Winkle to awaken today after his 150 year long sleep, he'd go right back to dreaming because his mind would not be able to accept anything he saw today as "normal". Our esteemed leaders cannot tell they have gone insane - they really do think they are on top of things when in fact they are profoundly psychotic.
This is a problem of fundamental perceptual cognition and it will not correct itself. Psychotics do not typically "wake up", smell the coffee, say to themselves "holy SHIT", and proceed to make the necessary adjustments. Rather, they get crazier by the day, often to the point of becoming dangerous to themselves or others and often must be stopped precisely because they see no reason to stop of their own accord. This is why we call them "crazy", and crazy is what Theye are, and Theye are not going to take the first step to correcting themselves because they see nothing amiss, but rather that it is all of the rest of us who need correcting. Taken in this light, do the things to which we all bear daily witness not begin to make better sense as to root causation?
Theye are hopping, raving, barking mad loonies who will do nothing to self-correct. It therefore falls to the rest of us to decide whether we wish to remain Theire playthings with which they poke in child-like experimentation to divert their minds from the crushing boredom that is their miserable, if financially well-heeled, existences. Being well-heeled, powerful, and absolutely certain Theye are right and the rest are dangerously wrong, They become adversaries of the most hazardous sorts, will not listen to reason, and therefore force upon the rest of us the choice to default into chattel status or to stop them with material non-equivocation. Theye will have to be forcibly removed and either be put into cages, exiled to other corners of the globe, or killed outright. This is not a particularly pleasing set of options, but this is the hand we now hold and the question rests before us. We can choose positively, either to just toss up our hands and cry "uncle", letting Themme have their ways, or we can physically remove them by whatever means become necessary to affect the changes that might help deliver us from some of the greater evil in this world. Or, we can simply choose not to choose and in so doing, choose the default which hands Themme victory at zero additional cost to them and infinite cost to the rest.
Choice is here. Choice is ours. Time is now.
Oh, and I won't be holding my breath.
