The Great deception, part 2
Who are the 1%
In part one of this series we looked at how both the UK and USA electorate had been tricked into electing a leader they thought represented a change from the mainstream.
As the series unfolds I show how the 1% orchestrated this deception, their motivation for doing so and the dangers this tiny group of individuals pose to us all. By all I mean humanity.
First of all, let's look at exactly who I am referring to when I speak about the 1% and how they have come to control what we commonly refer to as mainstream.
Mainstream politics.
Mainstream journalism.
Mainstream science and academia.
Mainstream society and its values.
Mainstream media. (MSM)
In short, everything. The mainstream. Mainstream.
You may have heard of the term, the Militarised Industrial Complex. (MIC) More and more the term is being used by journalists and researchers who refuse to conform to the requirements of MSM.
These requirements are covered by the Trusted News Initiative, a global conglomerate of media outlets who have basically agreed to stick to the mainstream narrative. They are embedded by countless new pieces of legislation that claim to be about online protection for minors and for reducing fake news. In reality they restrict free speech and is the internet really any safer for children than it was two years ago?
So what is the MIC? Many people will only recently have heard the term, some may be reading about it now for the first time. The reality is that the term was first used by President Eisenhower in his farewell address to the nation on January the 17th 1961 when he famously stated, ‘Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society. In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military–industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist.’
Scroll forward 65 years and it's clear that not only was President Eisenower right to warn the world of the danger of unbridled corporate greed and influence, but also that his warning went unheeded.
We only need to consider the domination of the world's 5 largest conglomerates to recognise their ‘ unwarranted influence’, between them they control 70% of all wealth, resources and assets globally!
It doesn't take a degree in economics to understand that with this enormous wealth comes enormous influence. Influence so great that it has led to Eisenhower's greatest fear being realised. Influence has become domination. Control. Ownership.
To understand the level of control exercised by the MIC, take a look at the table of top 10 companies by market capitalisation below. Then realise that the majority shareholders in these massive companies are even bigger, less public facing, asset management companies.
Now we are getting closer to understanding exactly who the 1% really are.
Company Market capitalization
1. NVIDIA $3.593 trillion
2. Apple $3.443 trillion
3. Microsoft $3.155 trillion
4. Alphabet $2.199 trillion
5. Amazon $2.197 trillion
6. Saudi Aramco $1.803 trillion
7. Meta $1.479 trillion
8. TSMC $1.040 trillion
9. Berkshire H’way $996.21 billion
10. Tesla $996.16 billion
Understand also, that even though he has the largest personal wealth that the public are aware of, Elon Musk is only a bit player compared to the 1%. His personal fortune of $307Bn is small-change in the pockets of the top 10 corporations and remember, these 10 fabulously wealthy corporations are controlled by even bigger, asset management firms.
So who are these globally dominant entities who exert absolute influence over companies worth hundreds of trillions of dollars.
Don't be surprised if their names are new to you -
The 5 big players are, Black Rock, Vanguard, State Street, Red Sail and Chase Morgan.
These massive corporations control the mega corps in the above table. The paper chase is difficult because secrecy is a key weapon in the armoury of the 1% but dig deep enough and you realise that this tiny group of individuals have stacked the decks in their own favour by creating the illusion that they are competitors when in actual fact, they are the boys club to end all boys clubs!
There isn't the space in this article to show the full paper chase but a few simple internet searches, scroll past the first few pages of paid results, and you will see that between them, with the possible inclusion of The Berkshire Hathaway group, these 5 conglomerates own sufficient shares in every fortune 500 company to ensure that no decisions are taken without their consent.
They control 70% of the planet's resources, wealth and therefore power.
From time to time they will allow other immense global brands to occupy a space in the top 5. Have a look who owns these newcomers!
Next ask yourself how likely it is that they have achieved this position of power by humane methods. If you're unsure, look at the state of the world. 95 of the 195 states monitored by the global peace initiative are currently classed as in conflict or recently in conflict.
Half the word is at war!
Now that you understand who owns the world, let's look at how they run the word, focussing on the US and UK elections and the laughable idea that The Labour party and President elect Trump are anything other than employees of the 1%
