Between 1978 and 1982 I became interested in the same question. My then research (without Internet) showed that there is a concerted effort by some of the richest and powerful people on earth to set a social and economic order to suit them. This plan embraces the following:
- Reduce the earth's population by ⅔. The mechanism for this is by Euthanasia, Abortion, Famine and Birth-Control
- The Elite would rule sovereignly under seeming democracy
- The Elite would have a large police/military to enforce their sovereignty
- The social system would be Feudal. That is, the common man would own no land but be tenants to produce the needs of the Elite
- A cashless economy. The Elite would trade in gold and the rest would trade their services for their need
- Religion and marriage would be removed
- The only Church allowed would be the Wicca - the revering of nature
- Already in the Middle ages this conspiracy existed and seems to be lead by the Rothschild Family of bankers
- The breeding ground for this conspiracy was, and is, the Freemason Lodges at the higher levels (Scottish Rite 30 to 33rd degrees)
- The Roman Catholic Church is the most powerful single player. Politics is made from the pulpit
- The leading organization for demolishing economies is The Club of Rome
Already in the 1700's a six point plan was devised to control the people
- Control money by National Reserve Banks owned by private people
- Control Governments by lending them money
- Control the Press by ownership and by central news service (like Reuters or UPI)
- Control education by Government control and syllabuses (the same government of point #2)
- Control energy either by straight ownership (Rockefellers), or by owning the governments
- Control food by owning the stock exchange and later by genetic manipulation (seed from a laboratory not a farmer)
The government policies are controlled by Non Government "Think Tanks" like the CFR and the Trilateral Commission.
By Nixon's rule the obstacle of the gold standard was finally removed. Of the six points above, only point #6, food, is not fully controlled. The only good news is that the multiplicity of organizations and personal ambitions and disputes sometimes cause them to trip over their own feet. This Elite is terrified of the people. If the 95% get wind of this conspiracy and get mad, they cannot be stopped. That is why control of the media is essential.
Finally, whether people believe in a conspiracy on this scale or not, we Christians know four things:
- The age ends in 10 powerful kings giving all authority to a despotic king - the Beast
- This Beast will exercise sovereign rule over the whole earth
- Food and Services will only be had by a Mark of allegiance to this Beast
- There are Principalities and Powers under the rule of "The Prince of this World"
I am not fully up to date with developements as I stopped this research to study the Bible.
