Rather than naming a few, I will just say that
anywhere you have a group composed mainly
of billionaires (or near billionaires) you should
assume they are trying to get a bigger piece
of the pie. Take what they say with a grain
of salt, and continue to push on with your own
plans for preparedness and self sufficiency.

Remember, the end doesn't have to be
scary, but the end is inevitable.

The rise and fall of kingdoms is just
the natural order of things.

" Redeemable notes into gold ended in 1933 and silver in 1968."


That only applied to individuals. Dollars were redeemable for gold in international settlements until 1971.

In other words, no. You cannot name a few of them.

I think the core of the problem is the population explosion over the last 100 years coupled with the ungodly unequal weath distribution. You have a tiny % owning most of the wealth and a whole ton of people that are supposed to support themselves on what's remaining. With robotics and ai well on it's way, the only realistic path is a depopulation event as a "solution." This economic debt crisis is just the government trying to make this repugnant situation work, but of course that's impossible.

Marx promised equality of all; Lenin the same. However, it never happened either before or after the time of those two.

People are not equal.

Lots of stupid people are rich, luck has a lot to do with it, the situation you're born in. The old saying
"I'd rather be lucky than good." is apt - it's a far easier path.

Bilderbergs - still active
Trilateral Commission - unknown status
Enlightenment-era Illuminati - now defunct
Cannes Lions - not what you think
Kappa Beta Phi - not your ordinary frat house
Young Presidents Club - interesting and ironic name
Muslim Brotherhood - no comment: you either understand, or you won't
J Street - deceptively named
Organisation of Islamic Cooperation - rather overt
Cargill - controls substantial portion of the world food supply


So, yes, I can name a few.
And these are just the ones known to the public,
at least the part of the public that isn't in denial.
Next time just do some research, it isn't hard.

Okay so you can make a laundry list of conspiracy theory secret societies, congrats. Really short on specifics here.

Did you seriously just lecture about how someone should do research, then post a link to quora as a starting point example of how research is done?

The writers of SNL couldn't have dreamed this one up.
