Not much time on this borrowed computer.   But, I did read a Biblical passage awhile ago that said, in effect(exact gist):


"The world is owned by Satan."


       Only recently have I learned the passage probably came from somewhere in the Apocrypha.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocrypha#The_Church_of_Jesus_Christ_of_Latter-day_Saints


       Inasmuch as I'm not promoting religion---even though I'm a Jew---I point out that all are on this planet together and will be affected by the economic crash coming sooner or later.   Only, I believe, the self-sufficient 'mountain men' who aren't caught up in the money game being foisted upon most people by the overall worldwide 'situation'(read as: greedy actions by some people who want control of money), will survive as long as they stay away from big cities where the money is concentrated.

It is true that the World is heavily influenced by a
horde of Bad Boys outside our physical realm and
they are aided in their efforts to control everything
by all who follow (worship) their Leader.

Those Bad Boys offer much in the way of pleasure,
power and control;  they know all of the "tricks" to
acquiring great wealth and using it to spread their
badness (wickedness) to attract many followers

It makes the choice very difficult for the peoples of
Planet Earth;  the choice to do only what is good
and to eschew what is bad.  Under conditions of
extreme hardship, poverty, tyranny, terrorism and
war,often the only way out seems to be to follow
those who are bad.

It is true that the World is heavily influenced by a horde of Bad Boys ...

I'd call these "Bad Boys" as the national world leaders in every country.
Both the Apostle Paul and King David said, in written quotations of the Bible, "There is no good man, no not one."

...outside our physical realm and they are aided in their efforts to control everything by all who follow (worship) their Leader.

Actually, more of the same, above, simply on a bigger scale.   As a Jew, I think Shekinah is higher than Adonai.   I'm probably alone in this belief.

       ...Those Bad Boys offer much in the way of pleasure, power and control;  they know all of the "tricks" to acquiring great wealth and using it to spread their badness (wickedness) to attract many followers...

I agree with you.   However, all are 'evil', as the two Biblical figures above alluded to in writing.   The easy path is wide and the hard, uphill path is narrow---even very narrow.

       ...It makes the choice very difficult for the peoples of Planet Earth;  the choice to do only what is good and to eschew what is bad.  Under conditions of extreme hardship, poverty, tyranny, terrorism and
war,often the only way out seems to be to follow those who are bad.

Depends on the person.   Some are better in character and others aren't.   Mother Teresa is a good example of a positive moral character.

War may happen much sooner than thought possible.
