Are bankers of the world more powerful than Presidents and any other leaders? Men such as J.P. Morgan, Rockefeller and the Rothschild family were said to be the most powerful men of their time; they had presidents and politicians in their pockets. Today, do you think bankers/ceo's on wall street are more powerful than any president or prime minister? Doesn't everything revolve around money? So who would you say are currently the most powerful people on earth?

No, they are not the most powerful, however they are indeed employed by the
most powerful as a means of control. They are also not more powerful than
presidents, prime ministers or other leaders "on paper", in practice they are
more powerful than the political leadership, because that leadership has long
ceded its appointed role to them in most countries.

I am not an economics expert knowing the intimate and deeply specific details of esoteric mathematical equations which govern the economic fortunes of populations and countries.
But I think this thread is greatly needed to get an understanding of the role of money and banking as the globe inexorably gets smaller and smaller while economic constructs and their 'mistakes' and their consequences get larger and larger in their consequences to the maintenance of stable civilization. At this time I give the volatility of global stock markets. No one here interested in this subject doesn't have to be taught on the consequences of economic instability in the world. The past is our teacher here.

They are some of the most powerful people today, but I dont think they were that powerful a long time ago. They get to sit in with all the powerful politicians at those summits and what not.

There was no internet, or telecommunications, computers. They had no mechanism to project power back then. The most powerful people way back when were the warriors. Most leaders back then had to handle themselves in dangerous situations.

To paraphrase Stalin, "how many divisions do bankers have?"

No. Not bankers on Wall Street. Those guys are regulated by the government. Think higher up. There is a bank that is not even audited or regulated. Every nation has one of these banks. And they are linked into a global monetary policy system that is interconnected with the United Nations. They are connected to the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and various other supra-national entities. They have a board of directors who manage and coordinate the activities of all these banks through the Bank of International Settlements in Switzerland. The mother brain of banks.

These banks are private corporations wherein stock ownership is restricted to invitation only. Not just anybody can buy stock in these banks.

They have a license to counterfeit legally. They drive economic education at the world's elite schools, like Harvard and Oxford and the London School of Economics. They act as the economic manager for governments, and as the sovereign wealth manager, dispense economic policy and monetary policy to world leaders, and can ruin or elevate presidents and kings. Why the answer is simple:

The Central Banks of the World.

It is becoming just too difficult figuring out who is running my life these days!

Well, look at who runs this system and you'll know who "they" are.

Illuminism is a philosophy embraced by many organizations, NGOs and elite personages. It isn't "a group". It's a religion, a philosophy, an ambition.

"Central" Banks. Def a force to be reckoned with.

"Finance is a gun. Politics is knowing when to pull the trigger."


Don Lucchesi


Any organization with money is "powerful". Look how much influence the Gates Foundation has on education policy today.
