Glad to know I wasn't the only one turned off Blacklist when it emerged the whole thing was (yet) a(nother) sinister government conspiracy. I couldn't stand The X-Files for pretty much the same reason.
I kept watching The Blacklist for a while simply because I was mesmerized by James Spader. I love the character, and I love his performance. But the show was often ridiculously unrealistic, and it suffered the problem a lot of long-running shows have, where the original mystery keeps getting drawn out and they throw in ever more improbable plot twists, and you eventually give up on it reaching any kind of satisfying resolution.
To understand "24," you need to understand that the first season came out just after 9/11, so the idea that there would be a foreign terrorist conspiracy was not far-fetched. And boy did we really need a sense that there were tough guys like Jack Bauer out there who would do whatever they had to do to stop the terrorists. But season after season, you keep having to find new conspiracies, and it gets out of control.
I never watched the x-files when it was on, because I was too young, but tried to watch it a few years ago, and I just hated Moulder so much! David Duchovny's hotness could get me through it.
It's easy enough to see your point, and even agree with you.
Except for the "Jew" part, which is not wholly convincing. This is not to say that there is no Jewish "solidarity" or that a Holocaust "industry" doesn't exist. (Heck, even Imre Kertesz, among other prominent Jews, acknowledged its existence.)
But "Jewish control" over America? More evidence needed.
"Crack Big Egg wide open?". Well played, sir!
I am very proud of it.

You also just described 24.

This seems a little tone deaf post-Snowden.
