Chris a few things, you state:
..and would demand thousands of people knowingly conspiring against the rest of the worlds population...
NOT true.
Take $cientology for example.
Hubbard and a few others knew what Hubbard was doing, running a hypnotic fraud, the rest of the staff members across the world all thought they were doing something else, but in fact they were engaged in a global conspiracy to defraud the public. We THOUGHT we were saving the world from evil...
Yet $cientology has a conviction for CONSPIRACY in the US and a couple of FRAUD convictions in Europe
Or take the CIA....
They have been generating bullshit since their inception. All ideas that further American corporate interests, and note that it is supposed to be a government of the people, by the people and for the people, NOT of the corporations, for the corporations and by the corporations.
The thousands of people engaged in helping them, don't know they are furthering exploitation of the entire world, they THINK they are being 'patriotic', meanwhile Gaddafi, that "Evil dictator' provided for his people.
Education was free
Electricity was free
Medical treatment was free
completed the world biggest irrigation project in the sahara
Newlyweds got 50,000 USD to sget and furnish their first apartment
A woman giving birth got $5000 for expenses
If you cannot find work in Lybia, you got 2300 a month
All of this from OIL REVENUES....
What an evil dictator!!

Verify your facts with independent confirmation
Good luck with that...
One often cannot quote the best sources of information, as they are often books that arn't on the net I have scanned hundreds of pages of books and placed them on the net to make certain points...or they are interviews that seem difficult to find, or they are research by 'evil people', who have been demonized so thoroughly that you dare not even look. Like Psychiatry was when we were $cientologists...

And re simpler explanations and occams razor, sorry I
don't buy it.
"
For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong." - H. L. Mencken
There is a legal construct called
"Elaborate Frauds" - The complexity of the operation make determining what is actually occurring take a tremendous amount of time and effort. In the past such complexities were considered successful if it required more than a lifetime o f study because no one lived more than a lifetime to study anything. The Internet has increased the speed of acquiring information so that even elaborate frauds are more difficult to hide.
Complexity itself is a technique used to hide simple fraud.

Re coincidence,
"There are no coincidences in counter espionage"
But I get your point not all apparently chance happenings have significance because of an apparancy of relationship..
HOWEVER
all the worlds problems do boil down to
one causality
its called Psychopathy.
And Psychopaths DO tend to recognize other psychopaths, and seek them out, and naturally form working relationships because they need each other, because those are the ones who can act without conscience, who can really get things done, and will follow all your orders, even to drop napalm on gaza...(example) or try to sink the USS Liberty.

Some excerpts from Political Ponerology:
"Reverse Blockade: emphatically insisting upon something which is the opposite of the truth blocks the average person's mind from perceiving the truth. In accordance with the dictates of healthy common sense, he starts searching for meaning in the "golden mean" between truth and its opposite, winding up with some satisfactory counterfeit. People who think like this do not realize that this effect is precisely the intent of the person who subjects them to this method. "
Page 104, Political Ponerology by Andrew M. Lobaczewski
"In their paper, "Construct Validity of Psychopathy in a Community Sample... Salekin, Trobst, and Krioukova write "Psychopathy as originally conceived by Cleckley (1941) is not limited to engagement in illegal activities, but rather encompasses such personality characteristics as manipulativeness, insincerity, egocentricity , and lack of guilt - characteristics clearly present in criminals but also in spouses, parents, bosses, attorneys and politicians, and CEOs, to name but a few. (bursten. 1973; Stewart, 1991)...As such. psychopathy may be characterized...as involving a tendency towards dominance and coldness. Wiggens (1995) in summarizing numerous previous findings..indicates such persons are prone to anger and irritation and are willing to exploit others. They are arrogant, manipulative, cynical, exhibitionistic, sensation-seeking, Machiavellian, vindictive and out for their own gain. With respect to their patterns of social exchange (Foa & Foa, 1974), they attribute love and status to themselves, seeing themselves as highly worthy and important, but prescribe neither love nor status to others, seeing them as unworthy and insignificant. " Page 89, Political Ponerology, footnote
"All this was inspired by the principle that in the big lie there is always a
certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always
more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds
they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they
themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to
resort to large-scale falsehoods.
It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they
would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so
infamously.Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always
leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is
known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the
art of lying." Page 134 Mein Kampf
