Good stuff, and fear keeps greed in check, fear is the inbuilt ballancing mechanism of greed. MG

Sure, he has gotten more wealth than any man ought to have, but not by being particularly greedy, just particularly lucky. Goldman Sachs, for example, is a much better example of greed. Andrew Usher

Look at your history books, there is much proof and written documentation about The Illuminati. The Illuminati commenced with man's desire to understand space and the world around. Religion at the time condemned the Illuminati by saying that they should have "faith" and anything they do not understand they should merely say "God didit." The argument of the Illuminati, was that if they had intelligence, then surely God gave them intelligence, and if they wished to use to intelligence to understand the world around and space then surely they should be permitted to. Many men were killed by the Church as they viewed the Illuminati as attempting to understand God when the Church argued that they should simply have faith and accept all around without question. "But surely God gave us the intelligence to question." was the argument of the Illuminati. (God here meaning Brahma - The Creator). Over time The Illuminati has continued the role of science and intelligence, and although they have "gone underground" so to speak, and what they do now is highly secret, some speak that they are some kind of secret government or secret intelligence on Earth, and that the masses or common people are controlled by them. Some say that they are now so scientifically advanced that they can read brain patterns and are literally able to read the thoughts of other human people. Rumours of alien sightings, UFO's, and a huge number of things that are never explained to the masses or common people, it does seem that the higher control levels (The Illuminati?) do actually know about these and know what is going on, and that there are huge secrets about space, aliens and about many things that the common masses of Earth do not know of. Even in the Church and in the Jewish religion are huge cover ups of so called "religious" incidents that are highly secret and not known to the general population of Earth. The Vatican closely guards these secrets which are only known to the Pope and absolute top religious people, and the same also happens in Judaism. The common masses are very much in the dark about what is the true situation on Earth. The Intelligence of Earth only allows them to know what they think they should know. THE BORG |
