They forgot to put the Rothchilds who own the world and control the Federal Reserve.
They also forgot the Royal Family.
They never ever list the real money powers in this world.
They don't want you to know that if you add up all the twenty richest people in the world that is stated in Forbes magazine....it is only a fraction of the wealth that is owned by the Rothschilds and the Royal Family.....it adds up to trillions!
Which Royal Family??
Hmmm, maybe it's all a conspiracy.
The British Royal Family.
Huh???
These people love money.......and you know the golden rule....he who has all the gold rules.
Forbes says Queen Elizabeth is worth $720 million.
Damn that family is clever to have controlled so much for so long in such a subtle fashion that the press hasn't even picked up on the "fact" that Greenspan is a Rothchild sock puppet.
Pardon my ignorance, but who are the Rothchilds?
The chick that writes Harry Potter books has more money than them!
Huh???? what????
What about Narco traffickers??
Famous old European banking family. It's basically code for "Jewish bankers" but he probably realized his post would be pulled if he came out and said that.
(insert evil laugh here)
You seem quite angry about this.
Should be royal families. The Neterlands crown holdings are extensive, as well as the British. G-d gets capatalized, impotent "royals," do not. At least here in the States.
The number of billionaires grew to a record 691 from 587 last year, and their total net worth rose by $300 billion to $2.2 trillion.
