Nobody is suggesting that "the global elite" are some kind of a shadowy circle orchestrating world events at their whim, but it is increasingly clear that the global elite are operating at a level far beyond democracy. That while they are living in a capitalist anarchy of their own, they will pool resources to achieve results that benefit their entire class. Is it a conspiracy to say that the majority of conglomerates fight for lower taxes and tariffs? Certainly not, and these capitalists have continually fought to erode trade barriers and taxations on their hoarded wealth. Thus, I find the term "globalist elite" perfectly fitting. As they are loyal to no nation and transcend traditional borders while becoming obscenely rich.
Quite frankly I'm amazed that the HSBC bank and its subsidiaries are still in business. With the amount of controversy and scandals it's been involved in it should've been dismantled and taken apart several times by now. Just goes to show how these "Very Important People" live in a world completely different from our own.
