There are not "only" so few possibilities. I was press ganged into a thought control hooligan army, my morality and stubborn will made this impractical. I have had primitive conditioning for controls (it takes decades to master.) There are hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of thought control thrall with middling skills. Of these there are tens of thousands who can actually "control" significantly enough to run a coup (usually by extortion). Of these hundreds are so superior they are like gods to the other controllers. All society since the beginning of time has had a small population who possess these capabilities (in simpler form perhaps, modernity has industrialized Power like everything else.) Clues are in our literature and historical accounts. Even today, there are many references to these underground communities ("networks" or often "families") though any sign anyone gives will be something easily blown off as bullshit. So, the point is not for you, the point is to leave this mark in the mind, such that through time this account will be undeniable. You are correct, that you are incapable of doing anything about it. The crisis is so severe it drives many of our pressing issues. To be silent in the face of a conspiracy of evil is to be complicit. I am the help, I am your undeceiver.
