| Onibaka said: I don't know....Nobody really knows what really is happening. Maybe Osama was already dead, or not... What I really know is that the World is not a sea of flowers....And, because of Internet, we have great access to information. I don't have 100% certainty in most things that I know. And that's a good thing, because I like to think. Skepticism along with Curiosity is the base of most of our knowledge and evolution. But back on topic, from the information that i gathered from different sources, I think that there is more than 99% of chance of existing a Global Elite powerful enough to shape the world as they want. Powerful enough to end the World's poverty. Powerful enough to make the world even more poorer(and that is what's happening). So if there is such people, then the question is what they want. And there is a enormous chance that they don't see a future so bright to "plebs". What I don't like is the idea that all things happening in the world today are "spontaneous". If you want to know more of the truth, you need to search about all fields in modern society and how they correlate. |
We can't really be certain of anything, but there are certain things we have to assume so that we don't go insane. How do you know the man standing next to you at the bus stop isn't an illuminati spy sent to track you down and interrogate you? How do you know Obama, Romney, Palin and Ron Paula aren't all killer cyborgs controlled by martians?
As for the global elite... it's certainly true that there are powerful people in this world. People more powerful than any President or Prime Minister. It's also probably true that they work together to accomplish all of their goals. But if they honestly held all of this power, why are they doing nothing with it? More to the point, what are they trying to achieve? I refuse to believe we live in a secret Orwellian society or any such nonsense.
