This is plausible. A thing governments have always done is to cause chaos among the people to gain more power. Collect gold at such a rate it keeps everyone poor so they rely on the king. Give them an enemy to band against when they are turning on you. Restrict access to things so they get information from you. It's not even conspiracy (in the internet sense of the world), this is what was done. Now all these things weren't done JUST to cause controlled chaos, sometimes they were done for other reasons too. It's why open borders is a bad thing (until ALL people are on the same level and all governments are on the same level, but then you have one world government issues) because everyone is mad at "them". But "them" drive down wages and their culture doesn't have the same laws, so now it's a way for countries to add even more control because of "them". Obviously, like the controlled chaos, this isn't the ONLY reason but it's a part of it.
