Wow what an interesting and educative post, love the content.
I was always curious about "illuminati, new world order, the 2012 Maya prophecy etc" but never knew where to get reliable information from... "how to know what source to trust" was my biggest obstacle that lead to me stopping my research.
Again the question comes to mind 'why I should trust this source' but over the last few years i've learnt to listen to the inner voice, and right now it tells me THIS ARTICLE MAKES SENSE. It is basically a resume (and a very good one i must say) of all the info that i throw at myself and was thrown at me on my quest of truth. I am curious to read more about this subject and now have a good basis to go by.

The only thing that doesn't change is change itself so no need to take drastic actions, let's all just lead by example and live a life of Love and light.
