In the olden days, the world was run on a feudal system. There were a handful of mostly inter-related nobles who lived in palaces, wore fancy clothes, and ate sumptuous food. They were served by a large class of serfs who did the unpleasant things like digging latrines, plowing fields, slaughtering animals, tanning leather, and all of the other work needed for the nobles to live in luxury. In return, the nobles kept the serfs from starving but generally oppressed them and sometimes did so gratuitously for their own amusement. Serfs had no rights and very little money and were frequently abused, although they were not technically slaves. The world knew only three classes: the undeservedly rich, the undeservedly poor, and a very tiny class of jesters, clowns, actors, and prostitutes [...]. The currency of the realm was power.
This lasted until Cosimo de Medici and his heirs, including the aptly named Lorenzo the Magnificent, came up with a better system...
The currency of this new realm was actual currency. By strategically lending money to the impoverished fools in their palaces, the Medicis ran the world and created a burgeoning and prosperous middle class. Kings often went, hat in hand, to beg a Medici for money. Nobility didn’t die out, but a creative, innovative, hardworking middle class emerged, and every serf who had the right stuff was able to join in.
The Deep State, or cabal, or whatever you want to call it is a form of neo-feudalism that allows for elites (who are often related to one another) to join shadowy groups like the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg group, the World Economic Forum, and other ones we don’t know the names of in an effort to restore that old-fashioned economy, driven on political power alone.

This article is loaded with inaccuracies, broad historical generalizations, and oversimplifications, but it makes some good points.
Ha, ha. Kinda looks like you killed your thread with this post #2.
Bkmk
Like the thing that freed the serfs from their chains and turned them into remunerated workers was the black plague the consequence of which was a huge depopulation that provided an opportunity through scarcity of human resources to do the work of their masters and overlords.
They didn’t have the option of encouraging mass immigration then.
The breakdown of society because of the plague led to mass migrations as a result of the economic freedom that resulted from the decreased population.
The more things change, the more they remain the same.
The problem is, as good as technology can be for improving the quality of our lives, the more havoc it can weak in the wrong hands.
Meanwhile, President Trump has caused total disruption of the socialist governments in the UK and Canada. There is political chaos and upheaval in both nations.
The labor and liberal leaders are crucified on their Euro crosses. There is drastic down to the very bone change coming
Euro loving Labor and Liberal politicians are being struck down and mortally wounded by the groundswell of conservative normality. Change is both devastating and quite real.
President Trump is in the process of creating an Anglo trading block that will counter the stagnant and failing EU.
The trading block will include the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and possibly India. This block will control world trade
Stand by and watch it happen.......
Thanks for that. That’s what I was hoping the rest of the article said. The OP stated it was full of inaccuracies and such so I didn’t bother reading the rest.
