I'm watching the first season of Britannia for a second time. It's on Amazon Prime. It's an entertaining show that depicts the invasion of the world by Rome as a spiritual war. It does a good job dramatizing that conflict and shows how the mechanics of that conflict might actually work.
One side of the conflict is the druid priesthood. The series shows how they lord over the aristocracy and rulers of the british tribes through psychological manipulation and also through supernatural means. It depicts them as mercenary and self-seeking. The other side of the conflict is the Roman Empire's general who is overseeing the invasion. He is not just a military man, but is a philosophical seeker and practitioner of the dark arts himself.
The role of the priesthood, whether it's the Catholic Church in the middle ages, or the NWO Religious cult they are pushing now, is probably more important than the "elites". They frame the longer term movements of people and the conflicts like war. To destroy a people, you destroy its gods. This old formula is all but forgotten today.
