Ha ha! My pot-head roommates in college would always come up with theories like this, also dealing with the evil world bank. This is good, however, if it was "the plan," seems like it would take a long, long time to unfold to the point where any evil mastermind(s) could control anything given there is currently enough stability in the world to prevent complete chaos for probably decades at least if this plan started now or even has already started. The problem with that is the evildoers would all be dead by the time it all unraveled, so what's the point? Sounds like your hippie conspiracy theory-loving friend is smoking some pretty good stuff.
