back in the day you had what were called 'witch doctors', or 'medicine men'. they derived their 'power' from knowledge that the 'common' folk didn't possess. for example, knowledge of solar and lunar eclipses.
when a known (to the medicine man, of course) solar or lunar eclipse was coming, he could start conjouring up stuff and telling the commons to submit or else. when the eclipse came, WHOA BOY!! you could get some people really freaked out.
and guess what, they would believe that it was the spells and conjourings of the medicine man. of course once people became educated, this kind of 'magic' no longer worked.
to keep this short, shootinstudent, to answer your question "who it is you think is controlling everything", the answer is those who know more than we do. WAY more. like, ancient mysteries and stuff like that. the stuff that built the Great Pyramid. anyway ...
Sir William, i believe you may be on to something there. the middle class are to 'smart' to fall for medicine man 'magic', so we have a deliberate dumbing down of the masses, mainly through television. and what is television chock full of? commercials. that get you to buy stuff. stuff made in china and/or india. like a good little consumer.
