What's in a word? We may live in a very different and much more complex world, but without the ancient Greeks we wouldn't even have the words to talk about many of the things we care most about. Take politics for example: apart from the word itself (from polis, meaning city-state or community) many of the other basic political terms in our everyday vocabulary are borrowed from the ancient Greeks: monarchy, aristocracy, tyranny, oligarchy and - of course - democracy.
The ancient Greek word demokratia was ambiguous. It meant literally 'people-power'. But who were the people to whom the power belonged? Was it all the people - all duly qualified citizens? Or only some of the people - the 'masses'? The Greek word demos could mean either. There's a theory that the word demokratia was coined by democracy's enemies, members of the rich and aristocratic elite who did not like being outvoted by the common herd, their social and economic inferiors. If this theory is right, democracy must originally have meant something like 'mob rule' or 'dictatorship of the proletariat'.

By way of a final corroboration, let us look at the problem from the opposite end as it were. Instead of asking how many ancestors we should have, let us ask how many descendants a typical citizen of 1300 might have today. For family size I'll use the present average of 2.2, although this is certainly an underestimate for all but the last 60 years or so. How many descendants would he have today if his children, grandchildren and so on for 23 generations all had 2.2 children? The answer: 75,114,133 people in generation 23, plus of course the survivors of generations 21 and 22. In other words, all of us - with a few left over for the colonies. What applies to my "typical citizen", would equally well apply to virtually anyone alive in 1300.

Whatever due... it is a fact that the people in power today are directly genetically related to eachother and belong to the same blood stream that all the Feudal era kingships belonged to even wayy back into ancient Egypt with the Pharo's and even before than in Babylon, maybe even Sumer too.

I think the masons will be interested to see this.
One rule is that members must lie even to their wives
concerning privileged knowledge and associations.
In court Masons must lie to protect brothers they know to be guilty.

That page is the biggest sack of crap I have ever read. And believe me, I've read many sacks of crap. That one pretty much tops them all, I can't believe that someone, such as you, who pretends to "Deny Ignorance" is actually touting around something that false and obviously agenda-driven. Do yourself a favor and open your eyes, bro.

Open my eyes to what exactly??? The corruption of the political system, the fact that many millions die everyday because of our politicians and financial leaders to keep the 3rd world in debt.
The people in these clubs and organizations DO control the lives of millions if not billions of people all over the globe. I don't like the idea of these people all together in one place to discuss problems without criticism from others.

Sigh, you really have no evidence that this is happening, so why claim it as fact? Besides, wouldn't the world, including powerful people, benefit more if a 3rd World country was able to gain strength and become an economic power and trade partner?
Again, I would LOVE to see all the evidence you have that supports your theory. You must have some pretty convincing stuff in order to be so absolutely sure. In any case, powerful people have just as much right to privacy as we do, so don't be a hypocrite and condemn politicians for meeting in private, and then criticize them for passing laws like the Patriot Act, that supposedly infringe on the right to YOUR OWN privacy.
