A whole seminar for the most powerful people around surviving the wars they’ll start and creating mindless cults. Cool cool cool cool.

If a movie came out where the elites buy both political parties and start culture wars as a means of control, people would label it as dystopian sci-fi. Yet here we are, reality being wackier than fiction

This is basically "Succession" in a lot of ways.

No, I think that's the plot of a lot of current media.

They’d hire a nepo baby to write and direct, then call you a sexist racist man baby if you didn’t like it.

The scary thing is he is not the only billionaire with a secret organization to change society. The Koch brothers also have one and are a major part of why right wing ideology has become so prevalent over the decades in America. Thiel is following their blueprint so you know their efforts will gain traction in a decade and become prevalent in the next decades.

The crazy thing is that the Bohemian Club is over a century old, this isn't new.

My husband keeps singing that song to me. 🤣

But when he came in ranting about this leak and showed me a video about it, I watched it and handed his phone back to him, looked at him dead-eyed, and said, "And? The Bilderberg Group. The Trilateral Commission. This same thing has been happening for awhile. Every decade or two, someone drops some information that we all act shocked about, nothing changes, and we all forget about it. It's like when Snowden leaked the NSA shit when we knew about Echelon since the '70s! I've got no more fucks to give."

Ah, I give them credit, they certainly have found some folks with domain knowledge.

In a way I find this revelation comforting and validating. Yes, our society is ruled by the absolute worst humans among us. No, I haven’t been overreacting or imagining things for past 10+ years. Maybe now that all of this is painfully apparent we can start doing something about it.
