Some people are using the world leaders meeting at the Bohemian Grove to claim that there is a Satanic New World Order conspiracy among world leaders.

I have a better explanation. World leaders have common concerns, which they sometimes get together to address; and there is nothing tyrannical or Satanic about it.

If the world leaders really were the way these people describe them as being, then these people would be facing a firing squad. Instead they are free to spread their propaganda. This says a lot in favour of world leaders.

As far as governments go, the ones in the West are quite mild. Real tyranny and corruption in the West does not come from the government, it comes from private entities. Men who like to rape their children and beat their wives. Corrupt, suffocating communities. Dishonest religious sects. Corporate crooks. Corrupt networks in law and medicine. Mafia and the gangs.

Seeing such things, a number of people have sought to address the problem through government action. This of course got them accused of practicing government tyranny and government overreach. In some cases they are right; in some cases they are wrong. In situations of low or moderate family violence, having families torn apart really is government tyranny and government overreach. In cases of incest or severe violence, government is in the right. So now we have libertarians hunting tyranny and corruption potentials in the government while failing to confront real corruption right under their noses. Once again, the real abusers in the West aren’t public; they are private.

If you want to pull a con on a population, you will want to plant false trails. You will want to see the problem in precisely the wrong places. So for example we have feminists directing the radical anti-Western sentiment into attacks on the West’s romantic literary tradition and the woman’s rights sentiment into attacks on beauty and love. Both of the above favour women, and for feminists to be attacking them is ridiculous. Here, we have the liberty sentiment directed into attacks on the parts of the government that seek to protect life and liberty from abuses by corrupt and tyrannical private entities. They see problem in precisely the wrong place; meanwhile the real wrongs continue, with their help.

Is there a Satanic conspiracy among world leaders? To claim such a thing is ridiculous. Most world leaders are Christian; some are Muslim; and a few are Buddhist, Hindu or Jewish. It is unacceptable among them to be an atheist, much less a Satanist. That they meet together to address their common concerns is to be expected. For that matter Southern Baptists meet together to address their common concerns as well. And they do it without being claimed to be Satanic or tyrannical.

In the West, the governments are elected, official, accountable, checked and balanced. Private entities are not. This allows greater potential for tyranny and corruption in private entities than in the government. The people hunting tyranny and corruption potentials in the government are looking in the wrong place. The real abusers in the Western countries are private. And it becomes the task of the conscientious person to correct these potentials as readily as he is willing to correct the potentials for such things in the government.
