And that 1-2% are employees or associates of big oil, and its offshoots. They used the unprecedented mountains of cash to buy the foundations of society around the entire world. Generations of humans have been created with their programming.

IMO, only an outside force like a CME or comet strike has any hope for overturning their power.

My impression is that the dominant group of people in most of the world today is high finance and its plutocratic associates. To my knowledge, the great industrial mangates are pretty marginal figures now.

What many do not realize, is that the oil order was never about oil. The oiligarchs did not care about oil but control. And, having long outgrown their financial dependence on the commodity that brought them their power and riches, they are at the forefront of this push for the post-carbon era.

Now, the oiligarchs are seeking to bring in a new international order. One in which their control is consolidated, their plan complete, their power unquestionable. One in which every aspect of human life, from energy to money to the very genome itself, is precisely ordered and technologically controlled.
