It seems fitting to introduce "The Creature from Jekyll Island" by G Edward Griffin.
Interesting, but I don't agree with the shocked tone. Obviously its shitty news to see, but it is more surprising to me that there are people who are surprised. It would be amazing to see through the looking glass and watch the hidden world of the super powerful and unimaginably rich.
I agree, it is not shocking if you pay attention, but many many people choose to not pay attention, for various reasons.
I wonder if there will ever be a time in history when the veil if thrown off? The world would probably collapse into chaos for quite some time...
I would suggest that the veil has been thrown off for a long time. It depends how you look at it. I think that many people do not get angry, but rather more jealous of this enormous wealth. They too want to be that rich, so they work their asses off, and tries almost anything possible to become filthy rich. They do not see flaws in the system, only "hard work" and "luck" can get you to the "hot seat".
Nothing is hidden if you pay attention, and if you do pay attention you may find yourself helpless and angry, or you just accept that you as a single person can not do much about it. So then the train just goes on and on, and I think that a massive awakening of some sorts has to occur for this to change. No "new regulations" etc etc, bla bla bla. Either the system stays and what happens happens, or we throw it away and try to create a new way to get by as a civilization.
