Who Really Runs The World?
All human groups are structured into a hierarchy like pyramids with foot soldiers at the bottom and leaders at the top. Even a four-person local meeting has a chairperson at the top, a school has a principle at the top with teachers in the middle and students along the bottom. A university has the dean at the top and students at the bottom. A multinational company has the CEO at the top and employees and shareholders at the bottom. A country has a prime minister or president at the top and all the citizens along the bottom.
Who Do You Think Is At The Top Of The World Pyramid?
Is it the prime ministers or the presidents? That would be a bit crowded and if so, which ones? Is it the multinational companies?
The reality is that the leaders of the world are the financial elite. Everyone below this group in the pyramid needs this elite group above them. And that is just how this financial elite group planned it centuries ago.
1% of people on earth earn 99% of wealth. This doesn't vary much from country to country, That's just astounding. It's not as if the richest 50% of people have a bit more money than the rest.
Let me repeat. 1% of people have 99% of the wealth. Some might say that's a conspiracy theory. We can call it that, or a scheme, or just a system. Whatever it is we all blindly accept it. One way or the other there's an ongoing one-way vortex that siphons wealth and money from normal people to the very few super rich.
The super rich 1% is really the world's controllers, it's not the governments. A very small number of people control who gets into government and who stays.
Where did Hillary Clinton's $357 mil funding come from? Not from her own savings that's for sure. As a side comment, does anyone really think Rupert Murdoch has no control of who wins elections in most western countries? Do most elected national leaders need the people with real money to support them in their efforts to win elections? As always over history the Golden Rule applies; those who have the gold makes the rules.
It's not that the super-rich work harder or have an abundance of luck. They have a permanent and contrived financial system that brings most of the world's money to their lap, not through effort, but by a strategic system put in place many years ago.
Think about it. Normal people work hard to make their way in life. They earn enough to live on with perhaps a little left over and it's hard to get anywhere by saving that extra little bit to invest with.
Designed For The Few
Isn't it a strange coincidence that nearly all the employed or self-employed people have an income that's almost exactly the same as their expenses? Well, that's no coincidence. As much as you might try your income is stunted by expenses, tax, and inflation, all three of which are planned events to keep the overall population down and working, keeping the controllers in control.
Economic cycles are not just coincidences that happen every seven years or so. They are planned and strategized events by the people at the top of our pyramid. That's why the super rich know to cash in their assets at peak times before the bust and buy back in at half price after the bust just a few years later.
This has been going on for centuries and who pays for their new winnings? The newfound wealth has to come from somewhere. Guess who. The normal people who go to work every day pay. Those same people who have had their shares halved and wages stunted at the same time. So, back to work they must go.
What's Behind The Curtain?
Let's have a look at how things work behind the curtain in the banking world. I bet you didn't know that when a bank gives someone a loan they're approving a loan for money that doesn't actually exist. No notes were printed, no coins minted, no gold was moved from a vault. All they have done is type a loan amount into your new fresh account and then you begin paying the interest.
Fractional reserve lending is a new concept to most people but how it works is almost identical to creating counterfeit money. I know that sounds crazy but that is how our money system works.
Banks can create, lend, and charge interest on money they don't really have and debtors work and pay for the money they borrowed with interest. This system funnels our labor into the hands of the bankers and financial elite who created the money out of nothing while the rest of us have to work hard to earn it. This has created a modern version of slavery where honest, hardworking people live their lives trying to pay off the interest on money invented by the elite few. For a more detailed explanation, you can watch this video.
The bank workers don't get this money, nor do the bank shareholders, nor do the bank executives. It goes further up the line in ways too detailed to go through in this post. If you want to get more detailed just Google Rothschild family source of wealth
While We Are Sleeping
Here's an example of what happens to us while we're asleep at the wheel. Why did Dick Smith Electronics close down and why did 3,300 employees lose their jobs? It starts with a fire sale. Let's run through a very simple timeline of events.
- In 2012 Anchorage Capital, a private equity group, purchased Dick Smith for $155 mil using just a $20 mil deposit with the balance to be paid later on.
- Dick Smith has cash reserves of $12.6 mil so Anchorage has effectively paid only $7.4 mil.
- In 2013, Anchorage Capital used legal accounting tricks to do with stock on hand that made it look as if the company had $140 mil profit when no such profit was real.
- In 2014 this maneuver allowed Anchorage Capital to float Dick Smith on the stock market for $520 mil.
- This means they made $500 mil for a $7.4 mil investment in just 2-years
- This accounting strategy left the Dick Smith company on its knees owing $150 mil and forcing it into bankruptcy.
- In 2016 the stores are closing down and 3,300 employees are looking for new jobs.
Anchorage Capital had used a perfectly legal accounting maneuver. It's what private equity firms do. This is why some people live in $50 mil beachfront mansions while others scratch their heads wondering what just happened.
It's just one example of how capitalism works. Most people would ask, "How the hell was that all allowed to happen?" Well, it's happening all around us and we don't even realize. This is going on at all times in every country and every city. The siphon from the many to the few never stops.
Can you see the pattern here? An enormous amount of money was siphons from a lot of normal people into the hands of a select few. If you and I used such sleight of hand to take that much money off the table to the detriment of others we'd get twenty years in jail. However, the people at the top of the financial pyramid made the rules centuries ago. Their system reaches every crevice and goes around every corner. The ruling class is the financial elite who have invented a system to benefit themselves at the expense of the overall population.
Some might say if this is all true and they're so powerful, why don't they stop all the wars? No way. They've financed both sides of every past war at great profit.
Playing Both Sides
Did you know the conglomerate Seamans built the gas chambers during the Holocaust, Bayer supplied the gas, Coca-Cola supplied drinks to both sides of the war, Ford made cars for both sides, and Standard Oil supplied oil to both sides? We all fought in the trenches. Then they rush in to pick up the pieces for even more profit and further entrench their positions of power at the end of it.
It works perfectly for the financial elite if stories like the one I'm telling now are denigrated and cast into the category of a silly urban myth. If all of us workers of the world continue to believe that there is no such reality going on behind the curtain, the elite remains safe and secure in their longterm power.
Most people have a similar and familiar idea of what money is that often revolves around what can be seen in their wallet or in their bank account. That's just an idea that's been given to us. It's not real. That's just a technique to keep us working hard all of our lives so we can put a little bit more "money" in our wallet.
The financial elite dictates the norms to us so that we remain captured and enslaved. This might all sound dramatic but I bet you still go to work tomorrow to gather a few more coins most of which you'll spend in order to merely survive. And where are the people at the top of the pyramid while we go to work?
To retain control the financial elite dictate the norms to us and we believe them and repeat them to others. We become a free army working for them. Ask yourself what would happen if you said to your neighbor or friends, "I'm going to earn a large shopping center and live off the millions of dollars in rent." People would laugh at you.
We are an army of free workers who suppress each other and stunt each other's ambitions so that the financial elite keep domination and control of the money.
Maintaining Control
Reserve banks all around the world are disguised as government-owned but that is a facade. They are independent private institutions entrenched in their positions many years ago by the strategic maneuvers of super-rich families, most of all the Rothschild family.
The flow of money and retention of wealth in the whole world is controlled by a small group of people, no more so than the controllers of the world banks. Why is it that reserve banks can print money but we can't? Reserve banks are not governments as people wrongly presume, they are private corporations. To remove any doubt on that point please do a Google search; Who really owns the world's Reserve Banks?
If we as individuals print money it's called counterfeiting and we go to jail. Reserve banks are free to print money as an "economic strategy" to increase confidence and improve liquidity. It also increases inflation and that accordingly erodes our wealth.
As part of that contrived and planned cycle, we all need to keep working for our money. In fact, that is the real strategy and motivation of the financial elite.
Even a squirrel can gather 100-nuts for winter and be sure they are all there when he needs them. It doesn't get eroded by inflation. Did any squirrels ever earn 99% of their nuts without ever having to work for them at all?* Of course not.
Humans are supposed to be more intelligent than animals but the average human doesn't have that same luxury of knowing their savings won't evaporate. When we gather our nuts for retirement they're eroded by expenses, tax, and inflation.
There is something not quite right in the human world. There's a strong tide that sweeps most of the wealth and money to a select few who don't actually work for it. We do the actual work but only get to keep a small share, if any.
Warren Buffet says:
Capitalism is the transfer of money from the impatient to the patient.
The financial elite are very, very patient and can afford to be.
The rich are no different from the poor and the haves are no different from the have nots. All are bodies dressed in clothes paying for things with paper. Who decrees that gold is of more value than sand? Who claimed that a paper with some numbers printed on it is more valuable that a fruit that grows on a tree? When one is hungry they can't eat paper or gold.
Words are the true power of the elite. Words say that printed paper and polished rocks can be traded for food, water, and shelter. Words say that numbers on a banks computer screen are of more value than another. Words are the wealth of the wealthy. Knowledge is the power of the powerful. Somehow we have to make do with the system as it is and find a way to prosper.
Break On Through To The Other Side
It's not right that so many people work hard for 40-years and have little to show for it. We are all in a cage and to succeed financially we need to get out. There is a way to swim against the tide and avoid being held forever in the vortex of the elite group.
It involves minimizing and the effects of what the financial elite do to us by;
- Lowering and eliminating the tax you pay, money otherwise lost to you forever.
- Preventing inflation from eating away at the little bit of wealth you already have.
- Gaining wealth by controlling assets and wealth that you have not yet already paid for. That's called leverage.
- Controlling passive incomes that work while you're in bed and on holidays, and eventually, when you're on permanent holiday.
- Thinking long term and not reacting and knee-jerking and being blown around by the events of the day.
The super rich rely on you thinking short term and that's a critical element in the way they siphon away your money. In other words, do what the elite do.
Alternatively, we could start a revolution or do away with the Federal Reserve and central banks altogether and we can start by returning the issuing of money to the people, a bill that was just presented to the house wanting to audit the Fed and abolish the IRS.

A few months ago I wrote a post about it, where I explain several things about it according to my understanding of the economic issue, but in turn, I also talk about the importance of ideas. There I also try to explain the real reason why they accumulate money.

Personally I can agree with some things you describe, but in turn, I think the change will occur as more of us are aware and act accordingly with other ideas to those currently prevailing.
Just read your very well-written post. Loved it!
I think the future is moving more towards local-based economies for essential goods and services. Would love to see us evolve and return to a gift-based economy for local goods, as humans have traded for centuries. It worked well and would help local economies. Native North American people were a good example of gift economies.
Agree.
And very thanks by the way!
