Please identify the group you think is really behind the ultimate conspiracy.

If I were to try to speculate (note I said "speculate", not declare as fact), I would say probably a cooperative enterprise involving the military industrial complex (remember, Eisenhower warned us about them), the petroleum industry, the Neocons, and possible the governments of some foreign countries. The first two for economic reasons, the second two for balance of power reasons as well as possibly economic reasons.
