For starters:
1. Koch Brothers......Republicans, in the past, have been very heavily funded by them. This puts the politician elected through their funds in a very vulnerable position to be directed.
International Conglomerates: Koch Industries (KI)- it owns:

B. Fred: "Can you [Bob] give an example of one of the "wealthy elite" who has actually got "the national levers of power", whoever they are, to act in their interest?
Those controlling the "National Levers of Power" directly are the governments of the world, some elected, some exist through force. Both are subject to the influence of the wealthy elite. The elite work covertly, and it is my bet that they do this somewhat loosely, not as some covert world committee - they communicate with each other on issues of importance to them. Obviously they do not put out minutes of their interactions with those who control national power; neither do the politicians involved disclose these contacts. The reason: this would be suicidal. So, obviously as well, no one involved on either side here has ever spoken to me personally about these things.
So, no, I don't know personally "One of the Wealthy Elite" involved.
Fred, I do not claim to be any expert on this.....much is written on it by others......a good source is the media called: The Breach. Wikipedia: The Breach is an online, Canadian news outlet launched on 10 March 2021 to provide reader- and viewer-supported reporting, analysis, and videos on issues such as racism, economic inequality, colonialism, and climate change (https://breachmedia.ca/)
You might also google "Deep State" - this is often categorized as a "Conspiracy Theory". It asserts that someone other than the national governments of the world is making the national decisions. So the question is: Is there enough evidence, or, at least some evidence, that this proposal is "fact"?
This is the question I personally am investigating, and my post is to ask other CT'ers to research it along with me and share here what they find out, either supportive or in opposition.
I do not have any archived full brief on this .......... I am busy in my life......I like to play tournament chess.....I have grandkids..........so I can only look at this as a layman without a lot of time to spend on it. I have had to research to increase my information.........I hope others here will be motivated also to do a bit of research......I hope for this to be a community question, not just my own personal one.
It seems to me one does what one can, even if it is just scratching the surface.
To me, this is a most important human issue.......we give governments power to rule us.......we need to know if the ones we elect are not the ones behind the decisions that govern us.
