One of these days? Guarantee it's already happened. Hell it's basically the overarching plot of the metal gear solid franchise.

I used to discard conspiracy mindset because it can often be a coping mechanism to deal with the madness and chaos of the world by assuming it's all according to someone's plan (even if the plan is horrible). As I get older I'm starting to see that the truth is actually the worst of all worlds. The machine is too fucking big and too fucking automated for a council of a dozen people to have any real semblance of top down control even if they are the ultimate benefactors.
