If you ever get a ton of time on your hands (more like three and a half hours give or take) and you really want to delve into a rabbit hole and possibly the mother of all theories. I highly recommend "Everything is a rich man's trick". I discovered Peter Joseph's "Zeitgeist" when I was about sixteen. It helped open my eyes up and to question things more often. He's since done a part II and maybe part III to that as well.

But that one I just recommended is insane. And it's so compelling and thought provoking it'll make your stomach turn. It gets into politics, the deep state, how the CIA has operated for years. The JFK assassination. And how that proposed report from our Government still makes no damn sense at all. It touches on WWI and WWII. It follows the biggest thing that I've always been interested in now and what I mostly focus on right now in our politics. The money trail. Follow the money.

Yeah its 100% a fact to me.  

Cheers I'll check that out. Is that the documentary "Zeitgeist"? 

Once you lift the curtain up of what the world's really like its pretty rotten. The casual disregard for human life by all of those in major power sickens me. Yeah its all about the money now, politicans can lie all they want about what the believe or support but money tells the truth. Look at who is backing who and what are they being backed for. Even look at some the stuff in Europe. All these bailouts for banks, keeping the countries in constant debt as means of control and passing on the burden to the poor. Its been happening for years, the rich get more and more, the poor get less and less.

I'm just not sure how we got to the point where this is all so acceptable.

The legislation back in the 90's all the way up to 5 years ago were much less than what they are today and continue to get more strict.  The fines continue to also go up.  There were bankers that would flat out play the market and the clients 20 years ago that are unable to do that today because of regulations.  They used to say the best and brightest would go to Wall Street because of this, but because those types of things are no longer possible (or at the very least are much tougher to pull off without major risk) they are finding other places to work.

Those fines are all bogus though. Any fine they get is easily payable by shifting money around or simply bumping up the cost of business a bit. The whole financial system is designed to play outside of the rules. Theres literally no advantage to doing things by the book.  

The world's still ran by banks, corporations and large financial groups.
