You grouped 9/11 and our political system as two things controlled by these elites. I understand they may be one in the same to you, but to many other people, controlling the political system and having planes fly into buildings are two entirely different levels of manipulation.

How do you think they got incredibly wealthy if they didn't work together with others like them?


I don't believe they work together often because the ego required to control the world doesn't exactly seem conducive to playing nicely with others, particularly those seen as a rival to your seat at the table.

The specific information isn't the point. The point is that information is more accessible now than it has ever been. Surely you can understand controlling the narrative 30 years ago was easier than it is now.

Let me just catch you up to speed with TD etiquette.

If you don't have names, addresses and cell phone numbers, it's just more conspiracy crap....UNLESS, of course, you're parroting the latest FOX News propaganda. Then you're free to spew as much garbage as you can fit into a post.

That's generally how things work around here.

IF I was a conspiracy guy, I'd argue that BLM was created to take over the movement that was originally focused on the militarization of the police and police brutality. BLM has basically turned an otherwise noble cause into a terrorist group and has effectively rallied support for the police from the average Joe. People are distracted from any real problems by the racists BLM angle, and after Dallas and BR, the militarization has more support than ever before.

But I'm not a conspiracy guy, so...

It's not shadowy and they don't hide it.

Lobbyist and Corporations pretty blatantly control America through campaign contributions.

It's why they're all so scared of Trump. He has his own money and can't be bought.

The rest of the world is a shitshow of epic proportions either run by blatant dictators or shitty politicians.

Why do you get to use the term "elite" as an all-encompassing general term, but I don't?

Of course there are levels of manipulation.

That would involve a level you claim doesn't exist. Which is it?

I hope you're right. But I'm skeptical. The internet wouldn't have been rolled out to the public without the ability to control it. I hope I'm wrong. I see no indication that I am.

I keep hearing this. Who specifically, among the mega corporations that "blatantly" (your words) control America, is scared of Trump and what have they done specifically to make you think this?

Nah, that part wasn't meant for you. Everytime this loony bird discussion comes up, one of the tards will post something about the Denver airport thats five years old like they think they have some kind of new info to add to the conspiracy theory idea.

I'm the key figure in an ongoing government charade, a plot to conceal the truth about the existence of extraterrestrials. It's a global conspiracy, actually, with key players in the highest levels of power and it reaches down into the lives of every man, woman, and child on this planet.

So, of course, no one believes me. I'm a... I'm an annoyance to my superiors, a joke to my peers. They call me "Spooky." Spooky Mulder, whose sister was abducted by aliens when he was just a kid and now he chases after little green men with a badge and a gun shouting to the heavens or to anyone who will listen that the fix is in, that the sky is falling. And when it hits, it's gonna be the shite storm of all time.

I Illuminati absolutely exist.

But they don't call themselves illuminati.

And they are not shadowy.

And they are mostly elected or have a lot of money or control large companies.

And they are way too poorly organized to be able to act in concert to do much on an international level expcept with respect to certain markets and, even then, they suck at coordinating their actions.

But yes, I believe in the Illuminati.

FIFY:

D o you believe in a conspiracy of shadowy elites that tries to control many world events.


Yes, and I used to be in it as a foot solider. But please keep on believing we don't exist.

I think the egos of people like George Soros are too big to collaborate similar rich elites. When you are worth billions of dollars through your own investment strategies, you really don't need other elites to influence policy/events.

I believe we are run by a shadowy high school of elites where they gossip about each other, angle for position in the cool club, sabotage their rivals' efforts, etc.

This is is all "Look at me!" bullshite, same as high school, except for billions of dollars and power.
