Who are the puppeteers behind this farce?

You have to laugh really. Why is it, that on a site like this, those who aren't playing cheerleader for either candidate (the majority being mentalist Trumpeteers of course) and who should really be trading insults over on Twitter instead of here; the only conspiracies really being discussed are trivialities along the lines of Is Hillary Cheating Again? or Micgate! Donald Trump After Presidential Debate: My Mic Was Defective!

First off, such "threads" merely invite a slanging match between the aforementioned cheerleader camps and achieve nothing of value. Like a sitting of the UN Security Council - page upon page of empty rhetoric. No, the biggest conspiracy, the one being largely overlooked here on ATS, is the great lie...or joke maybe...being perpetrated on all of us, and the US electorate in particular.

Just look at the calibre of the two candidates vying to become the 45th POTUS and self-proclaimed Leader of the Free World. If you stripped the pair of them of their famous names and put them up for a local dogcatcher they would both lose badly.

Trump is a cartoon character; a complete f*ckwit who resides in a fantasy world of make-believe money and expendable barbie doll wives. He can't even tell you what his business is worth FFS! Imagine the CEO of a major company being unable to tell you their Market Cap - they would be laughed out of the room! And he really doesn't know, before anyone disputes this claim. It came straight from the horse's ass...sorry, mouth:

It shows income — in fact, the income — I just looked today — the income is filed at $694 million for this past year, $694 million.

He had to look it up, AND he did it JUST THAT DAY!!! The day of the biggest job interview of his LIFE? What an imbecile.

But just to demonstrate I'm not a shill; Hillary is just as bad if not worse - she is dangerous. Trump may be an ignorant demagogue who suffers from either Borderline Personality Disorder or much more likely Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Hillary on the other hand is bad to the core - a Psychopath; a sort of Lady Macbeth for the 21st century who will stop at nothing to achieve her political goals, as evidenced by 41 years of marriage to a serial philanderer who, again stripped of his famous name, would be on every register of sexual deviants you care to mention.

Now TPTB used to make some half-hearted effort and put up vaguely credible candidates every four years. But in recent cycles - since Reagan - the whole thing has become more and more of a circus with an incrementally bizarre set of clowns vying for centre stage. This particular election has been a freakshow of colossal proportions. A succession of sideshows; incidents devised to keep us, the mindless public, mindlessly entertained. Worse still however, those who normally dare to question commonly accepted truths are being sidetracked by stories like #HillaryHealth or #TrumpWon rather than delving deep into rather serious questions that are going unanswered. All the while, the American people are sleepwalking towards election day where they will suddenly be confronted by the worst two candidates in history!

So who are the puppeteers behind these two puppets and why aren't folks here on ATS focusing on unmasking them and discovering whatever it is they want? Despite my dislike of Trump, he has repeatedly made one salient point:

Something is going on....

He's right about that at least. Something is up and whatever it is, it's not good. The world is already a dangerous place and after November 8th, mark these words, things are set to become more dangerous still. And as always, the best place to start is by asking the simple question, cui bono - who benefits?

Keep the little humans squabbling and distracted, keep them from evolving, keep them from awakening to their real potential.

Indeed, and it is proving to be a highly successful strategy.

The candidates on the inside(rs) will win the presidency. They become the keepers of secrets. Notice how Hillary brought up the UFO subject already. It really is a powerful hand to play.

Only we have a direct connection to the source, they do not. They will do anything to stop us from realizing our true power. The more distractions they introduce (smart phones, tv, consumerism, politics, RELIGION) the less we focus on ourselves and what is available to us. Those who practice TM speak of an increase is energy, and positivity... imagine this on a grand scale! Imagine how this could be utilized if we all ignore the distractions, and looked inside and found the connection. We would stop killing each other over these distractions and our efforts would resonate and amplify and we will have understoond what we were meant for. And it would drive these demon/alien creatures to go somewhere else to feed.

Also, religious authorities condemn opening yourself mentally, clearing your mind from distraction, reaching for peace in meditation, claiming that you are "opening yourself up to demon possession" . There is a full on push by the dark to deceive the populous and drive it away from its potential by any and all means.

If you stripped away the name but left the resume Hillary would be president regardless.

And the crimes and murders... don't forget to remove those too.

Neither Trump nor Clinton are remotely qualified or have the integrity we need for President - particularly in the duties of commander in chief. Trump has absolutely zero grasp on military and defense concerns and HR Clinton has failed --every country she touched, she broke (Honduras, Libya, Iraq, Syria). Neither has an ounce of true respect for the men and women who serve our country. And as far as helping turn our economy around -- REALLY? Trump filed bankruptcy numerous times, and Clinton never honestly earned a dime in her life -- BOTH are only out for their own gain - financially and ego.
It's an embarrassment.
Back to the OP's subject -- Who really runs this clown show and why?
We are wasting time and energy defending and opposing these two losers when our nation and our world is faced with serious survival issues.

I'm unclear of the bit about "folks who detest BOTH of these CROOKS" I would classify MySelf as being a member of this herd. I remember typing words like:

"It is time for another Johnson in the WH and NOT for someone who acts like a Johnson" This was a dig to 'Lil Donny' the snot nosed rich kid who got pantsed at military academy and snorts like Barney Fife. Self described "Great Businessman" en route to bankruptcy #7. Personally I think He is broke (AGAIN) and that He is just a 'shill' and will have His business debts taken care of by the even BIGGER CROOK Hillary Clinton and Her slush fund, The Clinton Fraudation™.

Then I found out that Gary Johnson is all about the crappy things that the even BIGGER CROOK Hillary Clinton is proposing..

I'm now down to voting for "Ms. YouBOTHSUCK"

No Dice am I going to Twitter. There are ALMOST as many paid HRC Shills on Twitter™ than on ATS™

Perhaps I didn't explain myself well, what I meant was: if these two individuals were stripped of their famous names and, by extension, everything they have accomplished under those names - i.e. they are simple ordinary people with standard resumes - neither would win an election to become dogcatcher.

In any regard, this really hasn't much to do with the point I was trying to make, which was: how did we find ourselves in the position where one of these two goddamn awful candidates will come to occupy the White House? The US is filled with bright people; it has the best universities (we are always being told), it is home to more nobel prize-winners than any other country (admittedly very few could stand for Prez without falling foul of the Birther movement), so how could such a pool of talent spew up such a couple of no-marks to "save the world"? There is something decidedly iffy about it

a reply to: SeaYote

Yeah ok.

a reply to: Sillyolme

You know sometimes, if you feel out of your depth, it is OK to step aside without saying anything at all

I agree...Both are least qualified to assume the POTUS. We need to start a "America is this the best we could do?" movement?

Whomever is pulling the strings *cough* CFR *cough* Bilderbergers *cough* must be having a grand time laughing at this spectacle. Either way we go this country is, well, in for a shocking ride.

Aw, Mario, don't be such a buzz kill....this is a conspiracy site and all options should be entertained

You can a see a plot formulating with Cecil Rhodes who was a minion on behalf of the Rothschilds that started the society of the elect in 1891 which later formed the Round Table Organization formed in 1909 that was to further British interests around the World.

Inner circles and outer circles were created to influence banking,commerce,Government establishments and the news agencies.

On the inner circle also known as the junta of 3 sat 3 people one of which was Lord Milner, these set of 3 made all the decisions in conjunction with the Rothschilds mouthpiece on how to garner more dominance throughout first Britain and then the former colonies and then the rest of the World (Global Governance).

The outer circles which were round table organizations were known as The Society Of Helpers
As these circles grew they began to splinter into better well know groups such as the Royal Institute of International affairs which grew a brother known as the Council On Foriegn Relations in America after the forming the Anglo American Establishment, after came the Trilateral Commission,The Club Of Rome and most famously the Bilderbergs which currently dominates Western Policies.

It is obvious that springing from the society of the elect which was a secret society these groups have had an exceptional hand in dominating World Policy.

You can take a look at the Club Of Rome to see the influence it is now having on the Worlds environment policies with the sinister agenda 2030 stamping it's jack boot onto humanities neck with the threat of Global carbon taxes and land acquisition bearing down.

So when Donald Trump says something is going on he's not wrong, these groups such as the Bilderbergs already pick the politicians to carry out their secret self interest policies at the head of which sit the Rothschilds and sociopathic scum like Clinton fall in line to do their bidding for self enrichment and power.

The grand idea of these groups is to consolidate as much power and wealth into the least people as possible which we know as Oligarchs and create a neo feudalistic system whereby humanities every move is dictated by them thus enslaving us all.
It is too sophisticated for me to go into further as I would be here all day but the tentacles of these groups are choking the life out the average American by creating recessions and depressions to steal as much wealth as possible.
