Mellowfarmer, thanks for the response. I will admit I didn't watch the video. I devour books, but long audio andor video presentations make me antsy.
As for your points, even a year ago I would have thought "tosh and codswollop". But now I'm not so cocksure anymore. An excellent rule of thumb is that almost all conspiracies collapse under the weight of the powerful human urge to boast, y'know, "I have a seeeeecret" kind of malarkey. But if everyone on the inside is auto-extorted by having tremendous wealth that is contingent only on allowing the game to continue ... perhaps not so impossible. I can't say ... which means I can't gainsay anymore either. The movie "Inside Job" opened my eyes to the power of part-conspiracy, part-media obfuscation, and part-unadorned denial. cn
