Rich,
Yes, they are pal'n around and ripping us all off. They lie, and they steal.
Not unless you see these people as being somehow insulated and separate from the wealthy oligarchs in the political sphere, can explain away the things the politicos have lied about in the past, and you do not see what they do as stealing.
You see it as ridiculous, I see attempting to explain away such things as
more ridiculous. And so on. I find the notion that these people are all genuinely "competing" with each other ridiculous, and that somehow they have remained isolated from any geo-political agendas. It's absurd to even consider it, and people like Soros to name just one are openly involved in these things.
These people don't all get along, all of the time. Look at Howard Hughes as an example of someone who tried to get into a major TV network for example. Boy, someone didn't like that idea. Look at the story of Boeing, McDonnel and Douglas. There are hundreds of corporations that have competed on a marketing level.
But overall things seem to be doggedly marching on in one direction, and one direction only. I do not buy the idea that it is a continuing mere coincidence; day after day, month after month, year after year, decade after decade. That by mere coincidence things are moving steadily the same direction and any attempt by anyone to change it has little or no effect, and no matter who we get in government here, they all
obligingly fall into line.
And while we're having our money stolen at source, and being lied to, the Warren Buffets, and the George Soros's are quite happy rolling the ball the same direction geo-politically - and doing their business as usual.
The article you found about the Hunts makes them out to be some of the richest folk on earth. This is simply not true. Now why should anyone ascribe credibility to the idea that the Hunts were anywhere near the wealthiest people on earth at that time? Either someone is a) ill informed b) spreading untruths. Either way, this is the sort of thing is universally accepted and seems to be an ongoing exercize.
I have a picture on file of Warren, Arnold and Jacob all smiling on his Waddesdon Manor Estate right before Arnold was "elected" governor. Matter of fact it is posted on this forum somewhere in another thread. Now let me guess; they all ran into each other in the "1st Class" section on a JFK to Heathrow flight? And Jacob said, "Say! Howabout you two gents come on out for some wine, cheese and biscuits!"
Now this is an AP photo taken of Arnold and Warren mixing it up with probably
the single most wealthiest man on earth, and the most powerful in the financial world of Europa and elsewhere, and not but a couple of obscure online news services picked it up. So how did every single national sydicated TV news show, newspaper, magazine, radio and tabloid conveniently miss that one right before Arnold ran for the governor's seat in California?
Right, it was because
every manager and editor of
every major TV news, radio and print media "just didn't think anyone would be interested". All separately of course.
Right. I see explaining away such things, one after another equally ridiculous as you see otherwise.
