Is there a shadow government behind the US government that influences US policy?

For years, conspiracy theorists have thought that there is a shadow government that exists behind the government we see. Some say illuminati. Others the world bank's. Still others say Israel, while others believe that the U.K. still secretly controls things. Is our government being pulled along like a puppet with strings, or are the conspiracy theories results of delusional paranoia?

yes, there is

I believe that money influences government matters. I don't believe in a "shadow government". Money talks, especially when you have tons of it.

As always I'm going with delusional paranoia. For this too be true every president and vice president in the last 50 to 100 years would have to have been bought. The likelihood of this happening is very close to zero.

Nope, I believe it's more likely the government is the shadow government, doing things under the radar, with no one able to tell them other wise. Both because we don't know, and because we lack the power.

If there is one I would never dare to say I thought there was... They'd find me and kill me.
