A grand conspiracy

Now, I love a great conspiracy as much as the next guy.  I enjoy X Files, stories about Area 51 and secret government organizations, but there is one thing that many people miss, even if there is a grand conspiracy attempting to be perpetrated by an obscenely wealthy and secret Illuminati, they will not succeed.  Alien stories aside (I don't believe in the possibility of intelligent alien life), grand and devious plans by wealthy and corrupt organizations will eventually fail because these people are acting contrary to the will of God.  Yes, it is true that many people live a long time, deliberately opposing the things of God, becoming wealthy and powerful while doing so, but their ultimate plans will come to nothing, for all sin leads to death.
Most of us live in the face of a godless and corrupt society.  We struggle after godliness despite all of the contrary voices and temptations around us.  Despite all of our own sinfulness, we know that a glorious eternity awaits those who love God and separation and despair for those who oppose Him.
The existence of a grand conspiracy being perpetrated by the wealthy and corrupt is irrelevant.  When we seek to love God and love neighbor and resist sin with all of our strength, we can know that ultimate victory is ours. And no form of wickedness can take that away from us.
