All good theories, but "William" kiss kiss kiss. You are a rarity. Spot on. However I would perhaps replace, follow the money ... with follow the pyramid-shaped hierarchy to its top people/families/organisations.
Some people are seriously working to stop the arguably EVIL control/domination of free people which seems to be growing daily. For example check a Yahoo groups post in the last couple days mentioning the Red Button competition offering large cash prize for help.
I suggest YOU better get serious and organized and fight for your very lives, or there will be no tomorrow, no future for your children which exceeds that afforded to battery chickens today. Look around most of you really are mental and spiritual slaves to the television and consensus trance.
Hierarchy you ask - who is at the top?
It is my belief at this stage of research (Jews are clear leaders), in ascending order -
federal polititians
huge corporate mogul like newscorp, dutch shell
royalty
Freemasons -> which created the illuminaty, and were from 1000 years ago I believe organizations of rusacristions(no idea how to spell), and later the Knights Templar. Freemasons worship Lucifer. Make no mistake about this they are occult and are middle men only. They work through/take orders from the catholic church/black pope/jesuits, then the jews themselve who incidentally are Gods Chosen people who follow the only existing belief system that says that MONEY IS GOOD.
These two points about the Jewish people and there known intellectual superiority (at least that is what I've read several times), the fact that they have been expelled as a people from many countries over the past 1000 years. Stalin and Hitler both tried to eradicate them, Europe refused them to own any land, etc. Please know this. I am of jew origin myself (really) so I am not against them or anyone else. I want the world to continue, and for us to have more hope of a healthy life than we currently do. So I am trying to open my eyes and perhaps change things!
Hate me yet?
NWO ... jesus christ so to speak. One (western) world currency seems likely. I say plans (possibly fake) that we will all have to pay to have microchips embedded into us for insurance/employment purposes which will allow us to be tracked, who we meet will be recorded etc...
Sorry for the above ramblings but as I read and learn more about politics, money, power etc. I am frightened beyond my wits by the existing predatorial power systems, seemingly established centuries ago.
