The very people that need to read and internalize these words will do neither.

So, George Carlin was a conspiracy theorist?

"Do I believe in conspiracies? Nah. Do I believe powerful people would get together and plan certain outcomes? Nah. Do I believe powerful interests would operate outside the law, maybe even kill people? Nah. Do I believe that secret government agencies might feel the need to assassinate a person and cover it up. Nah. I think everything in America is open, clean, and above board, and powerful people always play by the rules."

I really can't speak for George Carlin but do human beings do this?

I do think humans plot, scheme, devise stratagem, plan, create machinations, and join cabals. One must conspire to do something unlawful, unethical, or to preserve one's own interests that may work against the body politic's interests.

So, it's not like George Carlin was naïve to human nature or anything.

No. He was a particularly astute (some would say brilliant) social observer, commentator and critic.

Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls. They got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying. Lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want. They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That’s against their interests. That’s right.

I wouldn't go that far, but it shouldn't be hard to see that in the next number of decades most of the products and services will be provided by machines. At some point I would think those with all the resources may start thinking about what to do with the rest of the population that is not needed for their benefit anymore.
