It is easy to go up the line and blame the Illluminati, NWO, US gov't, organized religion, corporations, the banking industry....for everything that is wrong in this world and our own microcosm. How convenient to put it all onto THEM!
The truth is that we give away our own power when we believe that others control our circumstances. We are constantly putting out energy and getting back equivalent energy--so if we put out negative energy, guess what happens? I see this so clearly in my life, having beautiful synchronistic events present themselves to me when I am open to accepting them. It is hard sometimes to watch others struggle when they are clearly sabotaging themselves.

Spot-on here. I unfortunately know people who are living, breathing examples of the victim mentality. They can't seem to deal with the fact that they dislike someone, yet they continue to seek out the company of that person. It's confusing, awkward and I have found that the best way to do with it is to keep that friend at arm's length and avoid discussing others with her. I want to help her but she has to help herself and start using a more positive mindset about her life.
