>what has kept them safe all these decades
Own most leaders (CiCs)
Own most legislatures
Own the banks, can crash the world economy
Own the spy organizations
Own the raw materials (can withhold)
Q hints the have their own military
Q hints they have access to nukes
Have sleeper cells galore
Almost have control of the world water supply
Possible have access to diseases they can unleash
Likely they can control the weather
The military doesn't know who they can control and not many safe places to discuss because they own the spy agencies.
If you want to go way out there, this is leading to potentially having the power of Lucifer/Moloch or some demonic power
Also may have access to advanced technology from Tesla others over the years that were confiscated.
Good start as to why?
Yeah we can go all day, missed a few big ones in addition to those
They control the media (what we think)
They control the distribution companies (railroads, etc)
They control the local police in many places (especially ports of call for smuggling)
They control the energy (literally the life force of the economy and the population)
Not that easy, Q hinted they have their own military assets, plus who knows what other countries are under their control with military forces. Its not like they can bomb a few houses in Europe and this all ends. Think of all the support they gathered for world wars (the militaries that are supposed to take them out are too busy killing each other with the publics support.)
