Did that come as a surprise?
Actually they think they run the world, but they don’t. The world at present is run by Satan - he owns it (for a time). “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12.
I get that you are probably serious, however.....this is what my grandparents thought, this is what my parents thought (although they added additional groups), then when I was younger that’s what my friends talked about (still more groups added), then my kids talked about it (more groups)and now my oldest grandkids are talking about this.....
The theory’s are not new or unique and they still just remain theories.
It will be interesting to see what replies to your thread will be.
Walter Lippman was one of the Wilsonian progressive propagandists.
Early on Lippmann said the “bewildered herd,” his way of referring to the masses, must be governed by a specialized class whose interests reach beyond the locality.” This class is composed of experts, specialists and bureaucrats. The experts, who often are referred to as “elites,” were to be a machinery of knowledge that circumvents the primary defect of democracy, the impossible ideal of the “omnicompetent citizen”.

My reply is this guy is a seriously bad writer.
There are about 300 families in the world that are worth about $300T and pull a lot of strings to get what they want. Lots of wars and disasters world wide are just games that they play.
Somewhere I have a list of groups that all are claimed to control the world.
Rothchilds
Bilderburgers
Illuminati
Federal Reserve
Masons
And the list goes on, and on.
‘Does a shadowy group of obscenely wealthy elitists control the world?’ Probably, and so the f’ what?1 How really does this effect my life? IT DOESN’T! Not really.
I am not a huge conspiracy guy. Let’s be honest, people are people and most of us would screw up a wet dream. The rich are no different. Most of them are simply inbred swells with more money than brains. It is similar to the theory of a Jewish cabal that runs the World. They don’t, nobody really runs much of anything.
Obviously the super-wealthy do not own virtually all the banks and corporations. Millions and millions of individual shareholders do.
It should also be obvious that "money" in offshore accounts cannot pay off the entire US national debt, for the reason that a great deal of that "money" is actually securities - like the US' debt itself.
Billionaires, of course, have plenty of clout and influence. But the author is clueless about the mechanisms of that influence and has not even a small child's grasp of the economy.
It’s a well known fact that there’s a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world, known as The Pentavirate, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado, known as The Meadows. In the Pentavirate:
The Queen, The Vatican, The Gettys, The Rothschilds, *and* Colonel Sanders before he went tits up. Oh, I hated the Colonel with is wee *beady* eyes, and that smug look on his face. “Oh, you’re gonna buy my chicken! Ohhhhh!”
I suggest everyone watch this: “The Soviet Story”
It’s very good. Well worth the time to watch. Goes into the Progressive movement in the US and UK and what it spawned. The Soviets and Nazis were inseparable.

I would like to know what kind of Drugs are you taking if you believe this Feldergarb...
I’m more concerned about the Stonecutters..
A perfectly reasonable response.
The problem with this kind of stuff is it ignores certain basic implications.
1 - if this handful runs the world why does so much unexpected stuff happen
2 - if this handful was smart enough to take over the world why are they so dumb in how they now control it, constantly allowing bad things to happen. This is especially obvious in this recession, a fat comfortable populace is much easier to control, why allow recessions
3 - and this is the biggest one, if all this is true what can we do about it, and since the answer to that is so obviously nothing why are people wasting effort on it
..in the past, we've been one of the best if not the best country in the world, civilized, with lots of scientific endeavors, with outstanding athletic production as well as inovators in the arts, agriculture,medicine, etc....
the elites if they control everything are destroying our way of life, and it will lead to more and more violence and less productivity....
how can that be good for them?...the jerks....
Between Mr. Burns and Bublebee man, the Stonecutters are frightening in their control.
