I am just flabbergasted at the global level of corruption that I (we), so you don't think I am self-centered, are coming to learn exist.  Dig deep, and you have just scratched the surface.  This has been the case all of our lives.  Books have been written delving into this massive control over our world by people that were regarded as nut jobs, crazy conspiracy theory kooks, and no one believed them.  Now entities like the Deep State aren't even disputed by the media, and those in the deep state are the small players.    I am a bit doubtful that the tentacles of elitist control and corruption so completely wrapped around every aspect of our existence, past, present, future can ever be cut out.
