I've heard way to much from some poeple about "TPTB" controlling everything in the world. Yesterday someone attributed the recent stock market action to "TPTB." Unless TPTB is now a bank of computers and software, that is just crazy. Are there syndicates, cartels, groups with agendas? Yes! Are there people out for control and power? Yes! Is there a single group going back to the Rothschilds that controlled the world for hundreds of years with a world single currency, single government agenda? Hell no! You really give mankind way too much credit if you believe that. People are just not that smart, not that ambitious, and most people are too self destructive... especially those in power! Power, money, sex, drugs, excess, occult... they all go together. The thought that one group in power could control something on that scale for that long is just ludicrous.

On top of that, the digital world is now beyond the control of anyone or anything. Someone or some group could try to control aspects, or elements of todays world but no one can control everything. Is the media in bed with liberal Washington? Yes! Does it have anything to do with TPTB controlling what we see and hear? No! That cannot be controlled anymore thanks to the internet so wake up and smell the coffee. We're where we are today thanks to ignorant men being irresponsible and making stupid decisions, not because TPTB has been working on a world collapse for centuries! The coming collapse of the PIIGS, the UK, and the US has nothing to do with TPTB. It has more to do with ignorant men, drunk with power, living the good life in times of excess until the money or resources run out... end of story! It's the cycle of life and civilization. It's happened in many great civilizations from the Incas to the Romans to the British Empire. It's happened before and it will happen again. Men just never learn.
