The list of "conspiring" groups is long and distinguished.
There is, IMO, a massive distinction between "elitists" and conspiracy groups.
Do the elitists conspire? Yep. It falls under the label of "politics", in my book. Just look at the politics within the companies most of us work for!
Man is a social animal. His social disease is politics. They seem to go hand in hand.
Going to the generally accepted banker conspiracies, many probably valid, when it all started, who forced whom? The bankers or the Kings/rulers?
Ask any "prepper", is having food stored any good if you don't have weapons to defend that food? Someone will take it from you if you aren't armed.
That analogy fits just as well with the "bankers"/money men back in the day. They had the money, the "kings" had the "guns".(swords, etc.). It's just
as plausible that the "lead or silver" option obliged banker co-operation with those "kings".
"Give me the funds or I'll run your family through and seize your assets in the name of the Crown." Co-operate and you'll make money, don't co-operate
and you'll face the consequences.....
(I'm touching on subjects here lightly in an attempt to provide an overview of the current mess. So dump on me as you will.)
Fast forward to the present. We have many, many more elitists now than back in the "banker's" day. Political elitist, Greens, Socialists, yes, one
worlders, financial, religious, dictators and other world leaders, mutual fund types, currency traders, mega corporations, military leaders...the list
expands almost daily.
They are NOT monolithic. They are at cross-purposes. It has brought this planet to a near grid-lock.
To the one worlders, there are more countries than ever, not less. The so-called great democracies are failing, weakening. The new quasi-dictators are
thriving and attempting to expand as we speak. The American "experiment" is near collapse. The European Union is holding together with spit and
twine.
To the economic conspiracy types, do you rally think that collapse is the goal? This mess has been ready for collapse for years! It is being held
together with desperate moves as those so-called conspirators stand to lose virtually all the "own" in a collapse. One small push and down it all
comes. Any one of them could have done that by now. They haven't! They continue propping it all up!
The trend seems to be multiple nations with expanding powers for the new "empires". Back to the "old days". LOL. Not a one world scenario whatsoever.
Generally, the democracies are failing. The Dictators are expanding. (I refer to Russia and China in this). India I don't know enough about to really
label them...
My point is, it's not some lock-step world-yes, conspiracies do exist and are occurring, but for individual gain, not as a grand scheme. Each at odds
with others.
Even the "oil industry" is a generality. One firm's loss is another's gain, oil vs natural gas vs coal vs fracking vs bio-diesel/gasohol. Railroads vs
pipelines and all the secondary industries connected....
No grand schemes, at least that are working, just myopic self-interest by a growing number of "elitists"....
This is just my view of it. I'm certainly not well educated nor smart. Does this view make any sense or should I go on meds..
