News out of the NPR reports the results from Oxfam (an international confederation of 17 organizations in 90 countries) that the 1% richest now control half of the planet's wealth. WOW! That is staggering results. That equates to $110 TRILLION DOLLARS, which amounts to 65 times the total wealth of the poorest 3.5 billion people. Thus the World's RICHEST 85 PEOPLE CONTROL HALF OF THE PLANETS WEALTH. Well, who are the richest 85....Some you might guess.
Carlos Slim Helu.....Mexico
Bill Gates.........DUH!
Ortega....Spain
WARREN BUFFET.....DUH!
LARRY ELLISON..ORACLE
WALTON FAMILY .....WALMART
MICHAEL BLOOMBERG....ex-Major of NY....Bloomberg
Sheldon Adelson.....Casinos
JEFF BEZOS....AMAZON
LARRY PAGE....GOOGLE
SERGEY BRIN.....GOOGLE
Ferrero.......Chocolates
Carl Ichan.....BUYOUTS
GEORGE SOROS.....Hedge Funds
MICHAEL DELL......DELL
STEVE BALLMER....MICROSOFT
MARK ZUCKERBERG....FACEBOOK
Okay, I didn't list all 85 but I think you get a pretty good idea who is in control. Today (January 21) Gates and Bloomberg were interviewed on Bloomberg (financial News Network) and they reassured us that by 2035 there would be no POOR NATIONS left in the world. That's staggering as well. So the richest 85...or the 1 % are busy raising these poor nations up to equality with the rich nations. They do this through their foundations of the projects that they choose.
Okay, one last point I would like to leave you with tonight. And that is the themes for the World Economic Forum for the last 4 years. Remember the last 5 years have been looming crisis of one sort or any other.
2011: Shared Norms for THE NEW REALITY
2012: OUR WORLD. YOUR MONEY.
2013: BIG IDEAS. BIG SOLUTIONS.
2014: THE RESHAPING OF THE WORLD: consequences for society, politics and business.
So in sum: the richest people are working on a new reality, with your money, by big ideas that will reshape the world.
