The political scientist Michael Barkun discussing the usage of this term in contemporary American culture holds that a conspiracy theory is a belief which explains an event as the result of a secret plot by exceptionally powerful and cunning conspirators to achieve a malevolent end.[8][9] According to Barkun, the appeal of conspiracism is threefold: First, conspiracy theories claim to explain what institutional analysis cannot. They appear to make sense out of a world that is otherwise confusing. Second, they do so in an appealingly simple way, by dividing the world sharply between the forces of light, and the forces of darkness. They trace all evil back to a single source, the conspirators and their agents. Third, conspiracy theories are often presented as special, secret knowledge unknown or unappreciated by others. For conspiracy theorists, the masses are a brainwashed herd, while the conspiracy theorists in the know can congratulate themselves on penetrating the plotters' deceptions.
What is your view on the conspiracy theory that claims the world is controlled by a group elite, specially the Rothschild, the Rockefeller and the Morgan in the US and a few other families of Europe?
Is this a thing of mad men or there's truth to this?

Wait. Why would there need to be a "conspiracy" in order to think it remotely possible that the richest families in the world are the "movers and shakers" in the world?
Sounds exactly the way we should expect/assume the richest families to operate, IE stay rich

The New Media Monopoly
The New Media Monopoly describes the cartel of five giant media conglomerates who now control the media on which a majority of Americans say they most rely. These five are not just large — though they are all among the 325 largest corporations in the world — they are unique among all huge corporations: they are a major factor in changing the politics of the United States and they condition the social values of children and adults alike.
These five huge corporations — Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch's News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, and Viacom (formerly CBS) — own most of the newspapers, magazines, books, radio and TV stations, and movie studios of the United States.
These Big Five (with General Electric's NBC a close sixth) do not manufacture automobiles, or clothing, or nuts and bolts. They manufacture politics and social values. The media conglomerates have been a major force in creating conservative and far right politics in the country. They have almost single-handedly as a group, in their radio and television dominance, produced a coarse and vulgar culture that celebrates the most demeaning characteristics in the human psyche — greed, deceit, and cheating as a legitimate way to win (as in the various "reality" shows).
It is not just national economics that is at stake — though their power has led to the government's somnolence of anti-trust action. Nor is it just the neglect of broadcast media giantism by the government agencies that by law are still required to operate "in the public interest." The public interest is to have the country's largest broadcasting system in the world provide diversity in news, opinion, and commentary that serves all Americans, right, left, and independent, as well as access to their local stations as well as true choices in national programs.
What is at stake is American democracy itself. A country without all the significant news, points of view, and information its citizens need to be informed voters is risking the loss of democratic rights. Voters without genuine choices and without the information they need to choose what meets their own needs and wishes has produced something alarming: on Election Day our voters are forced to vote for what is the narrowest political choices among all industrial democracies of the world.

The commissioners of the NFL, NHL, and NBA are good-for-nothing corrupt bastards who don't care about the game, don't care about polluting the game, they just care about making their moneys, sharing their moneys with the owners, and then shafting the players and refs in the organizations (to varying degrees, because I do think that athletes are overpaid, but they're really just getting fucked by their white slave-owners. Also in terms of player health and who has to pay for that in the long run).
Example: Goodell makes ruling on Saints bounty scandal, appoints himself as the arbitrator. Stern and NBA buy NO Hornets, refuse to make trades with the Lakers which the GM made based on his assessment that it would benefit the team, because it doesn't help the NBA's bottom line or the sellability of the Hornets. And when they finally do get sold, having no bad contracts, and essentially no players on the roster, they are magically awarded the top draft pick (yeah, I'm calling conspiracy on that shit still, I don't even have a stake in the Clips/Lakers/Hornets and I think it was bullshit). Last example would be the NHL, definitely the least corrupt of the 3, but jesus, record profits and marketability, contract with EA, making the best sports game experience of the last 10 years (although they may have lost that title recently), and yet, 2 lockouts in less than a decade because the owners aren't making enough? Suck a cock, Bettman and NHL ownership.
And yes, I do see that I failed to mention the MLB. Is there some MLB based conspiracy theory that I'm overlooking, probably, but at least everything seems on the up and up in their league.

I've seen no good reason to believe such a person or organization exists, everyone is just pulling or pushing the world in a certain direction based on their beliefs and desires. Some people have more pushing power than others, but there is no group that can single-handedly decide where the world is going. It's up to all of us.
More scary than "the mastermind" to me is the inertia of "the system". There was ultimately no evil mastermind in Brave New World, just a self perpetuating system that was nigh unstopable because everyone had too much invested in it to change now.

"The immoral use of force is the source of man’s political problems. Sadly, many religious groups, secular organizations, and psychopathic authoritarians endorse government initiated force to change the world. Even when the desired goals are well-intentioned—or especially when well-intentioned—the results are dismal. The good results sought never materialize. The new problems created require even more government force as a solution. The net result is institutionalizing government initiated violence and morally justifying it on humanitarian grounds."

We think we own our homes and land but if you read your deed you are nothing more than a "tenant" (Senate Document 43, 73rd Congress, 1st Session).

When you agree to have a Social Security Number you surrender your sovereignty and agree to become franchisees of the UNITED STATES.
An "interesting" executive order we shouldn't be so happy about is: 12803 signed by the first Pres Bush that puts all public property or what we assume we have paid for with our tax dollars up for sale ie roads, bridges, schools, prisons even WATER... up for sale!
George Bush declared the war on terror not to protect Americans but to further the corporation of the UNITED STATES.
The United States operates under commercial law to overcome the checks and balances of common law. It is a total fraud. The Pope can even abolish any law in the United States.
Look it up:

By using IRS Publication 6209, which is over 400 pages, there is a blocking series which shows the taxpayer the type of tax that is being paid. Most taxpayers fall under a 300-399 blocking series, which 6209 states is reserved, but by going to BMF 300-399 which is the Business Master File in 6209 prior to 1991, this was U.S.-U.K. Tax Claims, meaning taxpayers are considered a business and involved in commerce and are held liable for taxes via a treaty between the U.S. and the U.K., payable to the U.K. The form that is supposed to be used for this is form 8288, FIRPTA-Foreign Investment Real Property Tax Account.
