How The Billionaire Elite Manipulate The World

In a word, the ultra-rich – the billionaire elite. So argues bestselling author Hanne Nabintu Herland in her latest book, The Billionaire World: How Marxism Serves the Elite.

In a series of brisk chapters, Herland a historian of religions and founder of The Herland Report traces all the world’s major problems back to the billionaire elite and their use of Marxist repression and social engineering.

While this may seem counterintuitive, Herland makes and documents several powerful arguments.

The fact that a tiny elite control much can be seen in that even seemingly opposing and competing brands, such as Coke and Pepsi, are usually owned by the same company, says Herland. The same applies to supposedly opposing “leftist” and “rightist” media. Six corporations control 90% of all U.S. media. As for the political arena, the “richest 0.01% have accounted for 40% of all campaign contributions through corporate donations.”

In short, “These mastodonte private companies completely dominate our way of life, what we eat, drink, watch on TV, what we wear, and who we vote for.”

Little wonder that, no matter what happens in the world, and no matter how such developments are detrimental to the average person, the ultra-rich tend to only get richer. According to Herland, “82% of all wealth generated in 2017 went to the richest 1% among us, while the poorest world population of 3.7 billion saw no increase in wealth.”

But it’s worse than that; there seems to be a direct correlation between how much poorer the average man gets and how much richer the billionaires get. Writes Herland,

[T]he richest among us made billions of dollars on the COVID-19 world tragedy, while the world’s poor plunged into unimaginable poverty… The shutdown strategy made the billionaires’ profit soar. In the span of just a few months in 2020, Bill Gates made $75 billion, Jeff Bezos $67.9 billion, Mark Zuckerberg $37.8 billion, and Elon Musk $33.6 billion.

Aussie Telco Blackout Chaos Proves Cash Still Remains King

The Optus blackout proves that a small glitch in the system can cause total mayhem in a cashless society…

Modern technology is a wonderful thing … until it isn’t.

In short, the mayhem, frustration, and missed opportunities piled up in all quarters.

Some businesses, like the call centres for the banks, may have breathed a sigh of relief given they could not field calls from concerned customers after they suffered another 0.25 percent interest rate hike the day before, courtesy of the Reserve Bank of Australia.

However, for most people and small businesses, it spelled disaster. The ever so convenient "tap and go" method of making payment was removed. And without warning.

It’s a timely reminder to us all that carrying cash may be a sensible thing to do for occasions such as that experienced on Nov. 8.

Such outages have happened in the past and will happen in the future. So the wise counsel is to be prepared.

Speaking of which, it is making more and more sense to use cash as retailers and banks continue charging for the use of cards and "tap and go"—to which we were all seduced by its ease and promised "no extra costs."

Remember when Automatic Teller Machines (ATM) delivered you cash free of charge because it saved the bank from paying wages?

Tap and go sped things up considerably for the customer, the business, and the bank. It was less labour intensive and created new savings for businesses and banks (particularly during COVID-19 we were all encouraged not to use cash because of its propensity to transmit germs).

Yet once enough of us had been lured into ATMs, rather than real live human tellers behind a counter in a local branch, banking staff was then cut and branches closed. Then, fees started to be charged at the ATM.

Israel blasts major news outlets AP, CNN, Reuters and New York Times over claims employees had 'prior knowledge' of Hamas attacks on October 7

Israel has lashed the New York Times, Associated Press, Reuters and CNN over allegations photographers and journalists who worked at the outlets had "prior knowledge" of terror group Hamas' attacks on October 7.

The Associated Press, New York Times, CNN and Reuters have come under fire from the Israeli government over coverage of Hamas' "heinous massacre" on October 7.

Photographers, journalists and other staff who worked at the international media giants have been accused of having "prior knowledge" about the terror group's attacks on the Jewish State last month.

Israel hit out at the outlets after media watchdog Honest Reporting released a report which raised "serious ethical questions" about the news agencies' association with the freelance photojournalists.

"What were they doing there so early on what would ordinarily have been a quiet Saturday morning? Was it coordinated with Hamas?" Honest Reporting questioned in its report.

"Did the respectable wire services, which published their photos, approve of their presence inside enemy territory, together with the terrorist infiltrators?

"Did the photojournalists who freelance for other media, like CNN and The New York Times, notify these outlets?

"Judging from the pictures of lynching, kidnapping and storming of an Israeli kibbutz, it seems like the border has been breached not only physically, but also journalistically."
