(45,251 posts)No, I have not seen that before, but I have seen the punch line, only as to the CIA. Which was much why I specified that I was not giving you any Kennedy CIA conspiracy theories. Your video gives a, if you will, privatized version of the CIA Kennedy "Any questions?" story.
He seems to be talking about a handful of people who run all US corporations. I am talking about official and unofficial institutions that have been around for a long time that have run most of the world at this point. Not necessarily in a conspiratorial way, as in "let's start the Bilderberg (and other organizations) and use it as a base to run the world. However, things have evolved that way, whether conspiratorially or just because.
And, in my prior post, I posited that these institutions could convince any newly-elected President that they know what's best. I am sure they have books and all kinds of things to explain to him or her just why all kinds of upheavals and collapses will occur unless it does things the way that they explain. If so, he could be leading in a way he believes he needs to lead, but is mistaken.
One could speculate forever. And some of the yarns might even be true.
But, suppose I told you that I knew the real skinny, cast in stone. And then I told you the real skinny. Would that put food on your table or help you put food on the table of a single hungry family?
BTW, The real skinny is that some very rich people who are also very powerful and clever are somehow in control of a lot of things and a lot of people in this world and they want even more. Who or why or how may have mattered long ago, but, at this point, it is what it is.
So, the only speculation in which I am really interested is, what, if anything, can we do to improve things?
