(86,646 posts)But we aren't allowed to say anything like, oh,
"...it's all about the Benjamins, baby!" or anything in reference to filthy money and who has it and what they do with it. Always gets cast into some other realm of thought whereby the person who said it is evil and has a bias toward some group by way of strategic misinterpretation.
This is what it is, the wealthy attempting to control the planet for their pleasure at the expense of everyone else.
It's kind of funny, back when the Interwebs were new and all, I did a lot of exploring to see what kind of info was being offered. This was the early - mid 1990s. At that time there were already countless CT sites all over the place. I decided to browse a few just out of curiosity and found some astounding claims which were new to me. In decades prior I was privy to some truly imaginative CTs as I traveled the country so looking ot see what was available online was a curiosity when I had regular access to it.
One particular CT struck me as there were some claims that I had known of which turned out to be true and some I really couldn't say for those that seemed plausible and for the way out there stuff, I got a good laugh. This CT site contained a long historical account of the Rothschild dynasty from centuries back and blamed them for financing most of the wars since their wealth and power became a thing. The site also had claims, of course, surrounding the Kennedy assassinations and what the names of descendants of the family in current times and what they were up to nowadays. It seemed somewhat similar, in some ways, to the Illuminati thing only these guys were of a singular family line. Anyway, the interesting part of what I recall to this day were some of the predictions of this century and how wealth and power were heading to a certain point where all of the obscenely wealthy on the planet would have control over everyone else on the planet and enslave us all along with how they might do that... a lot of what they predicted is happening now and is in a seriously progressed state. It makes me think about what they said occasionally, and I can't help but wonder if they really were on to something thta has been well concealed for a longer time than we know regarding the intent of the powerful... not that I would accept all of the CT details or be a follower, but some days one has to wonder what to do when some of the CTs turn out to be true?
Anyway, the rich in this country certainly have weaponized democracy against the people.
