The Book of the Protocols states that they control all Secret Societies (including the freemasons), they control the media (the press) and the economics of the world. This can be understood better in hidden knowledge passed through the media. Tolkien knew this and there are many hidden symbols found on popular media/press. In his book the Lord of the Rings, Sauron created the "One" ring to "Rule them all" (al races of mankind). The ring has two properties (the invisibility Power, like the invisibility of the Secret Societies, Terrorist Organizations (better said: Mercenary Organizations paid by them since they own all the wealth of the planet through Banking System), Money which the banking system is the power they use to control all of us. As he says in the book, the ring can only be destroyed where it was created and by destroying the One Ring mankind can be free, better said only by destroying secret societies from within and destroying the banking system, man will be free, otherwise the New World Order (Zionist Order) will be a reality, already it is.  

 Other popular references are in the movie "The Matrix", they control us for the mere purpose of generating energy (money) for them. Mankind is not free. And since they control the mercenary groups of the world (terrorism) they can spread more terror and have more control of the world through militarism that eventually will create the so called "Police State", destroying all the human rights and forms of human "freedom". Their bought "terrorist" acts by mercenaries only start real terrorist acts, and then make them even stronger. But their wealth power is so big, that they create this groups from the poorer, ignorant and miserable world they've created.
