Which reminds me, there were people on Facepunch arguing for PAGES AND PAGES about fluoridation in the water supply. I asked what other reasons the government would have to put it in the water besides "teeth health" because there's no way that was the real reason. No one came up with anything. Then the other day I heard on NPR that the reason they want to put fluoride in the water was because fluoride is a byproduct of many industrial processes and it's cheaper to just put it in the water supply than it is to dispose of it in any other way. WHY DID NOBODY KNOW THAT?

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;40445171]well they do financial scandals like that, but it's not like they "rule" or "control" the world.[/QUOTE] They have the power to rule and control it though. If they all have interest in one thing they will most likely collaborate since they're not stupid. If their positions were threatened I bet they would join forces since right now there is no point and competing is fun.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;40445171]well they do financial scandals like that, but it's not like they "rule" or "control" the world.[/QUOTE] they do "rule" the world, just not in a conspiratorial fashion. the way the collective acts determines our fate. it isn't that they are always consciously organizing anything(although in this case they were), it's that their group, as a collective, has more power and influence than almost any other group i can think of.

[QUOTE=Snord;40445551]You should stop eating salt, because it is fluoridated.[/QUOTE] I think you misunderstood me. There's constant debate on facepunch as to why the government wants to put fluoride in our water, and there was a perfect non-mind-control-conspiracy explanation and it's fucking stupid that no one on facepunch knew about it.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;40437175]the banksters don't have that much control lol[/QUOTE] Did you read the article? The whole idea is that they can rig prices.

[QUOTE=Zenreon117;40445667]Did you read the article? The whole idea is that they can rig prices.[/QUOTE] Yes, except they still aren't these "mastermind jewish bankers who control the world with chemtrails".

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;40446031]Yes, except they still aren't these "mastermind jewish bankers who control the world with chemtrails".[/QUOTE] Yes I know, thanks for another cheeky comment, we aren't talking about jews or chemtrails, so why do YOU bring it up? This article states that the big banks (i.e. the people who own them) can and do control market prices for just about anything and everything. For the sake of satisfying your irrational tendency to regress to cheekiness, lets just call the people referred to in the article as "X". Given: -X can and does control world prices under their influence -Globalization connects markets to the 'World Market' Therefore: -X can benefit from Globalization because it allows them to control the prices of the newly connected markets. The question you should be asking is 'How does control of market prices translate into control of other regions of society?'

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;40445456]except they don't his point is moot[/QUOTE] considering that, within the context of the thread, we're discussing big names in the world of large financial corporations, i'm pretty sure they're all interested in making a profit. is that bad, necessarily? no. but the steps that some of them took to achieve it, within the context of the thread's article? yes. it's bad.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;40445456]except they don't his point is moot[/QUOTE] You say that as if you sit at the table and know that for a fact. Which I assume you don't. You can't argue with facts you don't know for sure, and if you do then you must put an "If-Then" statement in there.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;40446422]a small group of people having the ability to get 7 billion "sheep" to do whatever they want is farfetched[/QUOTE]You don't need to control all 7 billion to get what you want. Not to mention by controlling financial sectors you can make all these "sheep" do what you want on their own. A small group that can control our most valued resource (money) can do almost anything. US economy alone affects many outside countries that it does business with. Global market means that the ones who have biggest control over it can bend it to their desire and yes all these sheeple on the bottom will follow because there's nothing they are willing to do.

"Banking was conceived in iniquity and born in sin. Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them but leave them the power to create money, and, with the flick of a pen, they will create enough money to buy it back again. Take this great power away from them and all great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for then this would be a better and happier world to live in.
