so much information online but i always started with what i could see - a fraudulent banking system, concentration of more and more power in fewer and fewer hands, conglomeratisation of much of the economy, and a worthless voting system that always seems to result in the continuation of the perpetual war, more taxes, and more expansion of government (and government debt.) and then ask 'why?'
you might want to go back further to find the answers, perhaps look up john robison's 'proofs of a conspiracy' from 1798 (or thereabouts.)
