Conspiracy Guest, I believe you are on the right track, but that you are currently suffering from the righteousness of the recently converted.

There is a lot of truth in what you say, but you do have to get in perspective and context. You seem pretty overwhelmed at the moment, by the vastness of it all. Maybe try focusing on one area where you can be effective, say civil rights and liberties, if you are inclined towards working against the Patriot Act. Or anti-war organizing if you feel compelled to prevent/end the war against the Muslim world by the West. I guarantee it will make you feel less panicked, and much more fulfilled, than just taking the scattershot approach.

Just a thought.
