6. What possible reason...

... would drive the richest human beings on the planet to invest so much time and treasure in meddling in the electoral process, right on down to small town school boards? They have more money than God. Indeed, they have more money than they can ever spend.

It's not ALL about the Benjamins. What they crave even more than astronomical sums of cash is dominion over the lives of others. The word, "POWER" is just shorthand for that utterly malevolent objective.

Think about it. Every playground bully wants exactly that, though on a much smaller scale. And they demonstrate that power by denying others the benign freedoms they once had, and demanding more of it for themselves. Now scale that up to oligarch size. Bigger sandbox, bigger demands. When asked why they behave with such malice, they'll tell you with savage glee, "Because I can!"

It's that simple. And that vile. And they will never stop upping the ante. Until their victims stop them, hopefully by legal means.
