I think a very interesting analogy can be drawn between the 'Control-System' (or the shadowy, behind-the-scenes controlling families referred to in the video - and their even shadowy-er superiors!) on the one hand, and the psychology of a regular individual 'Control Freak' (we can also see this in an honest observation of our own - yes your - mundane, everyday control freakery :)......
Analogy:
When all is going well and all is under 'control' the entity (ie the control system or the control freak) is relatively relaxed - the illusion of power is sustained by the sense of being in control and of weilding this power. However, when things start to get OUT of control (when it is 'challenged'), then the attempts to hold onto power increase dramatically. In the control-freak human individual, we might see this as a strengthening or reinforcing of patterns of behaviour - shouting, violence, active/passive aggression, intimidation etc - aimed at restoring this sense of control. At the level of the control-system, we may see it as increased usage of state-violence and propaganda, increased triggers for spreading fear (eg false-flag operations) and other means of exerting control which may have produced results in the past.

In fact we are seeing exactly this take place on the global stage, and it seems as if the Control-System tantrums have been getting more and more dramatic (and absurd). The 'challenge' IMO, comes from humanity 'waking up', or becoming more 'aware', coupled with greater transparency of what was once hidden, as well as MUCH greater access to information. Indeed, some have made a useful comparison between the advent of the printing press and the widespread availability of the internet - in terms of taking human awareness/consciousness to the next level. I tend to agree.

So, in conclusion, my position is one of relative optimism. The fact of the control freaks freaking out is an indication that the challenges are now getting more than can be sustained by the old way of thinking and the old patterns of behaviour. This leaves room for a new paradigm to repalce the old, and, my friends, this is taking shape at breakneck speed, just invisibly, and unreported. The control-freak, when in the height of the freak episode, is willing to sacrifice almost everything to retain a sense of control - this is also the point after which the drama becomes transparent to anyone who is not intimidated by the shouting and screaming and posturing. We're at, or close to that point, and change, when it comes, will be the supersonic rolling of a critical-mass tsunami - IMHO :)

Peace and Namaste
