 The central premise of this TV series is that a subversive American group known as Rittenhouse controls the course of human events, for its own purposes, even if it means destroying countless lives in the process.

 The fictitious Rittenhouse group parallels what many hypothesize the Illuminati and the Bilderbergers are like. Because of the secretive nature of the Illuminati and the Bilderbergers, it is assumed that they focus on personal objectives which are at odds with the common good. However, that is a flawed assumption. Throughout history, there have been leaders who kept details from the public for the simple reason that the public could not understand or accept what was needed for the common good. A simple example is taxes. If you ask the average person, they would say that taxes need to be severely cut back. In doing so, most governments would not be able to operate.

Everyone needs to recognize that there are numerous organizations secretly trying to control the course of human events, whether for personal gain or for the greater good. As one example, it is believed that a group of American and Israeli hackers thwarted Iranian attempts to build illegal nuclear reactors. Organizations like the CIA and NSA are there to protect us, and they use secrecy to accomplish their goals. The problem is that humans make mistakes and can be selfish. As a result, individuals in any secretive society can abuse the power of secrecy, either for personal gain or to cover up bad decisions.

Historically, the number of subversive groups seem to outnumber those seeking the greater good. In a private letter, Martin Luther King wrote, "I am coming to feel that the people of ill will have used time much more effectively than the people of goodwill. We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people."

America 2029 provides organizing principles for groups to operate for the greater good, while at the same time allowing individuals to advance their own personal desires. Specifically there are checks to protect against individuals subverting group efforts toward their own personal objectives.
