I find people who are super rich live in a world were no one is allowed to question them or their behavior. They surround themselves with people who worship the dollar and will fake everything to the rich to appease them. This seems like it may just be a play on that fact. Some group of people have convinced themselves they have all this power. I highly doubt they have half as much influence as they think.
No doubt they most probably do have a certain degree of power and influence. However a secret society that has existed for hundreds of years, in control of the entire world. I'm sorry but I just have to smile at this, way to many holes in this theory. I am getting a picture in my head of some kids who made a fort and have a secret password to get in.

Comments: I don't find this hard to believe at all. The problem as I see it is the willingness to just accept whatever answer is given to you. Here is a good example. While you were growing up weren't you thought that the tooth fairy came, maybe even Santa Claus? When you got older you get hit with a bucket of cold water and realize all the while you were being taken for a ride by the same people you trusted - your own parents. You can say they were just being nice or whatever but the fact is they were lying to you. This is the same with government. There is an underlying design to everything. The work of the USA is to bring the rest of the world up to a civility they see as correct. In order to do that you have to control the world through one government. Obviously some don't accept that as plausible but it is through what is known as the global market. What happens in one place affects everyone else. Therefore its too risky to have wayward leaders control a country that might upset a bigger one. Its better to have one world government calling the shots. If you have see the movie The International you will get some perspective of this. Who IS the leader is just face of people in the background dictating the way things should run.
Here is the way I like to look at it:
You want to buy a house. You do not have all the money so you go to someone to take a loan. In essence the house is not actually yours until you pay off the loan, since at anytime you default the lender can reclaim the house. This is where the Federal Reserve comes in - it is a group of international lenders that have basically funded the US for years. It makes you wonder how much say the US really has over her house when you have the Federal Reserve, a PRIVATE entity dictating rates and values. You can see more on that here: Source 7
My point in bringing that up is that the US has 'defaulted' many times thus allowing many not in the headlines to make dictates of what should / or should not happen in the US with regards to economy, real estate, etc.
Let us not forget that war tends to boost economies when done in a targeted manner especially the economies of the lender.

Comments: If a group of rich men came out in the open and said they wanted to form a new world government with regulations for everyone decided by this body of the rich wil you accept it? What about when they say that many world government already support their cause? The UN is the muscle and the Illuminati is the brains and the money.
I did a little bit more looking up on Illuminati. It has to do I think with science and technology not being under the control of the church. I don't see what is so bad about a group of scientists not being controlled by government or religion. Though in the wrong hands that could be extremely dangerous.

In a recent speech Pres. Obama called for a "New International Order" which is driving some parts of the media wild. What do you think... What does Pres. Obama really mean by "New International order"?

When I read the news, I thought about this thread almost immediately because of the similarity in the name. He basically said he will press for a new international order "that can resolve the challenges of our times" and help the United States defeat Al Qaeda and other threats to freedom.
