Mo Facts argues that black Americans have a long history of "conspiratorial thinking" as a survival mechanism against a system that has historically been untrustworthy. He cites the influence of hip hop and figures like the RZA in spreading awareness of global power structures like the Trilateral Commission.

Noam Chomsky discusses "The Crisis of Democracy," a report by the Trilateral Commission that argued there was "too much democracy" in the 1960s. The elite concern was that institutions like schools and churches failed to properly indoctrinate the young. This led to the hijacking of counterculture movements, such as those in Laurel Canyon, by the military-industrial complex.
