TInfoil, pure and utter tinfoil.

I'll go with the typical human traits of greed and hubris. They do because they can.

I just love the popular perception of the elites as untouchable superintellects protected by impenetrable layers of law, secrecy and razor wire.

Parts of the myth are true, but their plan is "pure genius and running right on schedule" about like Clark Griswold on his way to Wally World.

"Praise Marty Moose!"

Heh, I don't think it is the popular perception and I will be the first to admit I have a point of view bordering on the lunatic fringe but that is the beauty of the box created for us. A self regulating herd of sheep really. The consensus reality formed in our brains by our educational system and media primarily.

The elites are not untouchable and most are certainly not superintellects, in fact I would think some blood lines have reached new levels of stupidity.

Think about it though, so many laws you can fill whole libraries with their garbage and need people who spend their whole life specializing in just one facet of law. As for secrets, just how many do you have? We all have secrets, what makes you think the uber rich don't, in fact why wouldn't they have more than us?

Secret societies, international bankers, private armies, fiat currency, and television "programming" are real. Language is an interesting thing and a major component of the control system. For example just examine the origins of the word "mortage" for yourself, or go back to some more programming like most people do when they hear things that sound like "pure and utter tinfoil". Just look at how a natural cycle of global warming or more recently rebranded climate change and how it is used as a cover for peak oil. I just find it kind of interesting how more and more people are seeing the light is all, like that big orange thing in the sky that is constantly changing our climate and has been for billions of years. But hey, just look at how easily one politician convinced millions that we little people were to blame for the big orange thing in the sky and need to pay a carbon tax immediately for our sins. I admit, I was one of them until I started a process called critical thinking on that particular topic. No, the elite don't need to hide behind razor wire, they get on a screen a start programming us these days.

The fact is, when in America the wealthiest 1 percent of families owns roughly 34.3% of the nation's net worth, the top 10% of families owns over 71%, and the bottom 40% of the population owns way less than 1%, you don't need to be a conspiracy theorist to arrive at the conclusion all men are not created equal. That phrase just being another myth foisted upon the ignorant slave class. Like anyone born in America can be president

But like I said, the best part is yet to come, when 1 percent own roughly everything and the other %99 will be born and bred slaves, kinda like domesticated swine. Probably only take another 3 generations or so I reckon

did obama come from one of those richest families?

No, he didn't.

all b.s. the market will correct itself when it comes to supplies, there is a lot of coal in the u.s.a. and if africa can turn it into liquid oil then so can we

Hooray! We're saved by the market!!!

And roosters will start laying eggs!

I'll wait for the print version.
