>>About a thousand people currently hold 1/2 to 2/3 of the entire world's wealth. There's no point to conspire to take the rest of it, they've got more than they need. Plus they have to be aware that taking more will surely cause mass rebellion. Do you think they've forgotten the French Revolution? <<
Well I agree in many respects. However money today is only a tool, it has no real value. The looting isn't being done to make more billionaires although obviously that will be one result. However there must be something more to it than simply greed. I can't quite see the value of crashing the world economy on purpose either, but then people like us are pretty far removed from their world and wouldn't natively have much insight into the forms of manipulation this situation allows.
It actually could be designed to eventually spark revolt so that the current form of government can be discarded while turning weapons of mass destruction loose on the populations of the world to reduce ... crowding? Or what?
Anyway I don't think any argument can be made that the formation of the Federal Reserve wasn't a direct result of conspiracy. Even a cursory investigation proves this is a fact.The Federal Reserve itself is a scam, an international privately owned bank that controls the currency of the entire nation, one that has created a situation where the operating currency of the entire nation is loaned by them to the government forcing income tax to be collected from the public to pay the interest. The IRS is nothing more than a collection agency for the FR.
But you are right, they don't need the money, they have almost all of it anyway. But remember that paper money today has no more real value than junk mail. It's all about the perception of value. Nope, there has to be a bigger reason for it than simply accruing more of the money into the hands of the very few. One thing that is pretty easy to understand is that a nation in financial turmoil has far more people willing and eager to join the military and it's much easier to direct the pent up energy of a nations people into external wars when a nation is on the verge of revolt.
