all these professional conspirators are spying on each other without really knowing why, are colliding by chance but not identifying each other with any certainty. Who is observing whom? On whose behalf, apparently? And actually? The real influences remain hidden... So that while no one can be sure that he is not being tricked or manipulated, it is rare for the string-puller to know he has succeded. And in any case, to be on the winning side of manipulation does not mean that one has chosen the right strategic perspective... -- from Guy DeBord comments on The Society of the Spectacle
