I think this is it.

I think, for example, that a lot of the conspiracy theories that exist around 9/11 being planned from the "inside" are the actual conspiracy that's meant to mask the fallibility of the ruling class by creating stories about them being all powerful in the wake of a weakening attack.The one complex thing the rich do have the power to control is the stories we're told. The stories we internalize establish our place in the world and convince us of our rolls. They project a virtual reality of illusions around us, through algorithms and media, because "control is an illusion" is a double entedre.
