figures dont lie but liars figure

i have first hand encounters with conspiracy theory types and can tell you that they are off the wall. I have had them tell me that i dont know what im talking about for something that i was at. What would i know i was just there.

having said that, that is not to say that there are not groups of elites who meet to influence the direction of economics and politics. I am certain that they do. How effective they are and for how long is open to debate.
