I wouldn’t put that past them, honestly.
If we use the ‘trillions of dollars at stake’ thought, how many people would they be willing to kill for that?
How many wars have we had over the past 100 years? How many people did communism/nazism kill?
Do I think they’d wipe out 10% of the planet if it meant they got absolute control of the rest? Yup, I sure do think that.
I think they’d wipe out 90% of the planet, if they got absolute control of the rest.
I dare say that if the elites thought they could for sure eliminate 99.999% of humanity while keeping the environment mostly intact and keeping our genetic diversity robust they would do it in a heartbeat. That would leave between 75000 and 150000 humans still on planet.
Their primary problem is that as far as overall survival goes were pretty freakin tough and the number 1 priority of survivors would be neutralizing those douchebags ...
