Which people are pulling the strings in America? It's pretty much common knowledge today that big money interests control the politicians. So is the president just a puppet at this point? Which individuals are really in control? How much power did unelected people such as Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller, and Dick Cheney have? Who are the puppet masters, both today and in the past, is my question...

This reminds me of the anti-Establishment beliefs I read about in books dealing with the 1960s!!

Life really is a wheel.

Never trust anyone over 30.

Their power is great. The man who have known the principles of the universe can reach everything.

The answer is very simple. Significant political parties and candidates are controlled by commerce and industry associations. These associations are interested in adoption of effective laws and just in stability in the state (and in the world).

This is true for every country. Colors are the same but every knight of the brush paints an individual picture.

The puppets themselves do not know who their puppet masters are. We will never know.
