4. I would place them more in the Cult of Cthulhu
But that does mix in with the Minions as well.

7. I don't think it's worth distinguishing between the "BFEE" and, say,
the Trilateral Commission. The source of evil is not the Bush family per se, although they are of course plenty damn evil. The root problem is the corporate oligarchy. The BFEE is just a piece of that. The TC is a much larger piece of it.

11. The Masons because...
I was just reading about the history of secret societies and the masons are one of the main ones. They all evidently grew out of the Knights Templar and have made their money in shady business dealings ever since. Lot's of smuggling and influence peddling, etc....

The book is "Secret Societies of America's Elite: From the Knights Templar to Skull and Bones" by Steven Sora

very interesting....

especially when you realize that we've had three presidents from Skull & Bones....

31. Don't think so
Edited on Tue Aug-05-03 09:10 PM by teryang
Only one of the very largest banking families is Jewish. The others are white protestants to the bone.

And each one of these families is much wealthier than the BFEE. The BFEE are only their poodles like Mr. Blair. The BFEE must use politics to scrape crumbs off the table from weapons deals, defense contracts, fraud schemes, illicit drug trafficking, etc. The banking families virtually own traditional corporate America, Great Britain, and substantial pieces of many other countries. They also control the energy industries. The CFR and Trilateral commission are funded by their institutions. Their pre-eminence is threatened by economic and financial instability, so the shadow of war and repression hangs over the globe.

By the way, I don't think they rule the world. But that nineteeth century notion is in vogue among them right now.
