I fear that at some point in the future, in the wake of economic collapse, out of the ashes of the American Republic will emerge a Columbian Imperium. At that point rebirth will be complete.
I don't think its the work of any human secret society. Humans are too disorganized, fallible, and stubborn. History also tends to repeat itself. If there are any chessmasters moving pieces on the board, they arn't human. They would have to be beings that arn't fickle like humans. They would have to be ancient, patient, and focused.
If they exist, they wouldn't operate from London, the Vatican or D.C. They would have to come from elsewhere, like archetypes guiding the human collective unconscious. The Abstract entities, hard for most people to conceive or even understand, would manipulate human consciousness through memetic engineering, synchronicity and psychogenic phenomena. If I was an ancient Roman I would call them gods.
That is if they exist though. Everything could just be mere coincidence
The phrase principalities and powers occurs six times in the Bible, always in the King James Version and its derivatives (NKJV, MKJV). Other versions translate it variously as “rulers and authorities,” “forces and authorities,” and “rulers and powers.” In most places where the phrase appears, the contexts make it clear that it refers to the vast array of evil and malicious spirits who make war against the people of God. The principalities and powers of Satan are usually in view here, beings that wield power in the unseen realms to oppose everything and everyone that is of God.
The first mention of principalities and powers is in Romans 8:37–39: “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” These verses are about the victory Christ has won over all the forces ranged against us. We are “more than conquerors” because no force—not life, not death, not angels, not demons, indeed nothing—can separate us from the love of God. The “powers” referred to here are those with miraculous powers, whether false teachers and prophets or the very demonic entities that empower them. What is clear is that, whoever they are, they cannot separate us from the love of God. Victory is assured. It would be unfortunate to dwell on identifying the powers and miss the main thrust of the verse, which is assurance about what God has done to save us.

The end times have gotten nearer since the beginning. Which leads to a another beginning.
Ushering in a new existence to experience in unimaginable ways.
Didn't Jesus sort of replace the Old Testament?
There is some pretty funky stuff in it.

The end of times really could be upon us now.
I am not religious, I am a christian and believe and try to follow the New Testament.
I think it would be beneficial to try and look at the bigger picture of what is going on.
Look past the distractions that have been placed in our view.
This is not a fight between political parties or even between countries.

If there is an ancient otherworldly presence controlling humanity they are probably controlling the religions too.
