I think it’s just the evil people finding ways to gather money and power. They will latch onto anything that achieves both goals regardless of how sinister it might be.
I don’t doubt that money and power have a big role in it, but there does seem to be something more going on than just a concern for those things. There are ideas, ideologies, worldviews, philosophies, views of reality and man’s potential to change reality, and a hatred for God and the way He has created the world and His rules for how man should act. The Money guy mentioned in the video may have wanted the money (pun intended), but he was also trying to prove something, and when reality didn’t prove his points, he was very willing to lie about the evidence. For him, the agenda was all-important, and evidence and truth were not important at all.
