World Domination is so 1930s.

Like you, I do not know enough about what's really going on at top levels to comment on what the endgame is, if there is an endgame. Actually, I don't know what's worse - the idea of wealthy globalists planning economic world domination or the idea that actually, nobody really knows what the fuck is going on and how to deal with it.

There are wealthy (as in, doubleplus rich) people who own important pieces of the economic infrastructure and who influence economic and political policy through various forms of [lobbying] or [corruption] or [deciding the next president at Bilderberg's]. I'm quite sure the former two are true and I suspect the third may at least have some truth to it. Are those people working towards a common goal? Are they at each other's throats, just like everyone else? No idea. Was the Greek crisis orchestrated? Dunno. Is it being handled in the most counter-productive way possible? I think so.

I don't neccessarily post an article because I am sure that every conclusion is true. It is a different (and, just imo, more plausible) analysis to the ones you'll find in mainstream media, somthing to think about, maybe something to talk about.

Oh, no I'm stoked you posted it. It's thought provoking.

Sometimes I wonder if it's a game where the ultra wealthy elite such as media moguls make plans for example who will be the next president, and then basically battle the public with their agenda. Like a strategy game, media influence and resources vs will of the people and individuality.

That's probably more of a post-modern 1984 fiction than the more mundane truth. I tend to think nobody really knows what's going on. Everyone is just working from their vantage point sometimes at odds with each other sometimes together. All of the actors constantly subverting everyone creating an almost absurdist plot.
