But it's not a conspiracy
"For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it." - A memorable quote from David Rockefeller's Memoirs (2002).

It's not a conspiracy to openly espouse the ideals of globalization (which many of us consider to be a positive direction, leading to improved socioeconomic stability), nor to admit that people use their political influence to further their ideals. As for the "secret cabal", well, even a Rockefeller is allowed a bit of sarcasm every once in a while.
That's right, rationalize it and make excuses.
