It depends on which development you are focusing on. It is not as though all the ills of society are directed by any one political or social force...or club.
"Somebody" has to push wars. "Somebody" has to fund wars and "Somebody" benefits from war. Lets see... Exxon? Who owns Exxon?
And there we go down the hole lol

A group of americans dont just go up to Afghanistan and attack them... nope, the nice political men in the little tv boxes tell them to...
Didnt mean to go on a rant I just have my gut on what wicked people in high places are capable of doing... all of which are spoken about in revelation.
The "ills of the nation" seem more like symptoms to me but of course Albion... they can full a lot of the people a lot of the time, but never all of the people all of them
