Maybe I haven't come across as I intended, so I'll try to rephrase in order to get my point across this time.
The truth is the truth. Even if no one believes it. A lie is a lie, even if everyone believes in it.
Now, I'm not saying that any of what I said is either true or false, it's up to you to use your own Self to digest and/or discard it as you will.
However, if your crops have weeds in them, and you firmly think they don't exist, they're still gonna damage your farm, garden, or whatever.
So what do you define as a slave-cage? Who thinks that there are weeds on the farm, or who thinks there are no weeds, even though there are? You know, in a hypothetical scenario in which there were, in fact, weeds on the farm.
By dealing with the truth as the truth is, you are better prepared to handle it. You don't handle the weeds by leaving it to chance. You handle it by, first of all, becoming aware of their existence, then taking the proper measurements to defend what you esteem, if you will.
When the topic is about a social scenario, it takes a leap of thought to think in other people's terms, in other people's lives, and also a macro-vision to understand the whole planet's scenario.
It is much easier — and comfortable — to keep the consciousness focused on a local perspective, which today is most usually a country or the mass-media spued trending topics, and this is quite convenient for some as well, for it makes division easier to be applied. Think about it carefully, if you will.
And then, there always comes this "fantasy" argument as shown below:

From that you can understand why imagination runs wild when attempting to figure out something that has been perceived as hidden to the self. The people's shadows create their own demons and monsters and project them outside themselves. Then, a lot you will read are mere dark fantasies of those people.
This again does not mean there are not people with a hidden agenda that is dark, just that it is easy to see them and their power as greater than it is, which in turn empowers them through your power of focus. If you become lost in this type of fear, it will just become a huge stumbling block to your spiritual development. Deal with the worse as it comes, if it does not come then don't drown yourself in worry and fear.
So basically, the post above argues, in maybe an eloquent and subtle way, that what was said back then is just some conspiracy bullshit.
That may be true, or may not be.
Regardless of such, you, me, and everyone on the face of this planet are always presented with the same old classic clash between truth and lies.
"Is it true? Or is it a lie?"
Once again, if you don't keep an open mind, you don't benefit from any knowledge whatsoever. You quickly repel it and justify your repelling by rationalizing over it. Now, we could endlessly point fingers at each other claiming that the other one is lying and nobody would benefit from this, would they?
You don't empower weeds by focusing on them. That actually does the opposite. You don't "give power" to darkness by focusing on it and uncovering them. That actually does the opposite. Darkness only prevails as long as it remains hidden. A quick dismissing of something implying it is only fantasy, lunacy, delusion, or whatever, actually disempowers you, whilst empowering the forces that act cloaked.
Certainty closes the mind. Awe opens the mind. A closed mind can only see what it wishes to see, which is the cause of its own undoing. An open mind might learn much if it remains truly open.
Now, would you prefer to know the WHOLE Truth (which shall set you free) or just that part of the truth that is comfortable to you?
Anyhow, you asked questions and I answered them. I didn't impose them on you as undeniable truths or forced you to believe them. You do as you will. Nevertheless, it does little good to ask a question with a closed mind anyway.
