There is said to exist a shadow government that operates behind the United States, Britain and many other countries. The citizens of these countries have the illusion that they are in control of their country, but in reality the shadow government controls the overall direction of the nation.
Wars, economics, laws, politicians and many other aspects of government are heavily controlled by this secret government. This shadow government also extracts finances through covert black operations such as the military industrial complex as well as other programs such as NASA. The shadow government is said to be behind many of the conspiracies that we hear about within governments.
Just who the players are of this shadow government is not as clear. It is believed that many of the people operate throughout the various secret societies throughout the world such as the Illuminati, Bilderberg Group, Jesuits, Knights of Malta and so on.
