So I'm just going to ask... Why exactly did you believe these people when they told you they were from incredibly powerful families that control the world? Why was this not one of the things you questioned so that you would not be easily led?
Besides which... even then, the amount of power those at the very top have over those at the lower levels is limited at best. Sure, I have no doubt there are families who get to do things like influence which banks are lending to which governments and games like that. But at the ground level, this is all largely abstract stuff that has very little direct impact on day-to-day commonplace life. At least, not unless a person believes those families have huge power over them, at which point the amount of power they gain is exactly the amount of power that person gives up via their fear.
I'm not going to give out names but ones father was in the U.N. for a long time. There are also family names you can't fake being a part of.
The one I'm referring to with UN links is the most soft spoken gentle man, neither of us have fear over certain people having so much control. It's money, it would be nieve to assume families that have horded weath for centuries wouldn't use it to ensure they retain the wealth they have.
You can still have a great life of you work hard, just no need to be pushed and pulled by the mainstream media. Really you wanna talk fear mongering? Swine flu ? Didn't happen, bird flu? Didn't happen. SARS, Weapons of mass destruction?
Most of the stuff news services get people upset about is pure nonsense too. All I'm saying is think for yourself. Don't just follow the heard. *by didn't happen I mean they acted like everyone was going to die but very few even got it.
At least the conspiracy theorists are saying that vs the mainstream media trying to lead everyone to let them do the thinking for you.
Again I'm not one to indulge in reading all the fear based stuff. I'm not willing to be programmed by anyone, yet I'm not going to pretend there aren't people so fully enmeshed in their Facebook life that they couldn't use a new perspective to separate them from worshiping so hard at the Hollywood knows best altar.
Pendulums
Green peace were basically environmental terrorists but no one was listening now the pendulum has swung back to the middle.
Hippies did the same for our value system that catered to only white upper class men.
I'm tired after a long day but I'm sure you can come up with other examples where extremes brought awareness to a situation that needed attention but not to the degree the extremist went.
I see this the same way.
