Forum Post: BDs -- French Aristocracy before the Revolution?

Methinks Lord Westover (twitter@lordwestover ) might liken today's Boards of Directors of the Fortune 500 as the postmodern equivalent of the French Aristocracy before the Revolution. They have so many similarities that it is almost frightening: • They live and move (for the most part) in totally removed and insular worlds completely unaware (or indifferent) about their hording of resources. • A few hundred people call the shots on institutional wealth that for the most part they had nothing to do with creating but everything to do with siphoning the wealth of these for profits for their profits. • And, of course, they will continue this greed-filled-Daffy-Duck-like-wealth fest until stopped.

Of course, same elitist bunch that gets to the top of the pyramid over the last 15000 years - no difference. However, the French revolution didn't do much good, really. We should do without one: http://superunion.org

If you study history, you will discover that the french revolution was a rig job. It was planned and executed o a scirpt. Once you understand that you will discover that the entire reality is a rig job. WW 2? Who supplied the nazis oil? Standard oil fo new jersey plead guilty to supplying the Germans with oil...like I said..."RIG JOB."
