"Never do you hear alex jones talk about the actual entity and goal of the power behind the secret societies he talks about"
so bowral, what is this entity and it's goal?
molech satan beelzebub abaddon jehova osiris etc, perhaps?
if these beings exist in some way, it is to show us the illusion of self and subsequent ignorance.
i kind of agree with you there is a lot of hot air all of those soapboxers that you mention, don't get down to the nitty gritty. alan watt (not watts, who incidentally actually did quite a job, imo) is another that comes to mind
most info is a mix of relative truths, belief, convolution, myth, cultural programming, denial.
imo, you are not going to get any reasonable answers without making reasonable effort in the area of morality and self denial.
