Pyramid of the Power Elite in the Social Imagination...

 The Elites Know: They've Been Planning This for Centuries… | Lisa Haven News

We previously discussed the 'power elite' and pointed that such a group is not new to us. C. Wright Mills wrote in 1956 the book, The Power Elite.

According to Mills, there is a power elite in all modern societies, an elite who command the resources of vast bureaucratic organizations that have come to dominate industrial societies.

As the bureaucracies have centralized and enlarged the circle of those who run these organizations have narrowed and the consequences of their decisions have become enormous. According to Mills, the power elite are the key people in the three major institutions of modern society: 1) Economy; 2) Government; and 3) Military. The bureaucracies of state, corporations, and military have become enlarged and centralized and are a means of power never before equaled in human history. These hierarchies of power are the key to understanding modern industrial societies.

I illustrate those hierarchies as a pyramid structure. Firstly, there is the base level. That level is the average basic educated or not joe schmo. He and his family may be happy or may not be happy. They may or may not live together. If he/she is married, likely his/her wife works too. They dream about a different life and some pray their children will get one.

Such a person on this level may be an electrician or a plumber or construction worker, a road crew sign holder, a garbage man...just a regular nice or not nice person. Now, depending on his/her ambition and ability to use those skills, he/she can touch upon or even reach the next level or if not... he/she might just be happy to live in an older home or trailer park if he/she really doesn't give a flyin fig. For them its all a crap shoot anyway... its luck, a matter of being in the right place at the right time.

The level up from there are also of a lower echelon. They usually are or appear to be happy people because they have a white collar job, a nice two-story brick front house, two cars and three kids and vacation once a year to Disney. They run for office with good intentions because they are gullible; after all, they go to Disney every year and eat out at their favorite restaurant regularly. So, what could be bad, right?

The next level belongs to those that have that and more; they have two or even three houses and cars; and though they may hang out at one in the summer and or another in the winter, depending on the locations, they still try to take a lengthy family vacation abroad in France or Italy and let’s not forget spending some of their well earned money donating to their Alma mater.

On the next higher level up, we find those that live very well in a world without borders (though they may represent a nation) wondering what yacht or private jet to buy and which official or representative to buy off and which political international embassy event/dinner party to attend this year, what stocks to buy and sell or dump and of course, who they should invite to their mansion, island or yacht to bribe extensively or blackmail. They do so in order to reach the next level if they are lucky.

That next level, much closer to the top, are those who represent generational money…They have all of the above and even bigger and better. How? Because of their generational wealth, they have the time to do more and that includes blending upwards and lengthwise joining with the military industrial complex level elite which also includes every kind of corporate owner and various boards of directors at huge international pharmaceutical companies, serious weapons logistics and manufacturing of them. 

They are grossly, and globally connected to bankers and dept. heads at ivy league universities/research institutions and heads of state. Now, the pinnacle, in this pyramid, is at the very top and those people at the top are people that you and I have never heard of because they don’t make public appearances… why? 

Because, they have to have control from behind the scenes/ the curtain in order to create strategies to make full use of all levels below them and that means all the way down to the bottom to get what they want, which is to be god and to own/rule the world as a transhuman. 

The means to their end goal includes carnage and over and above all... depopulation. Don't be deceived... don't be a lemming. And, make no mistake, each level except the very bottom builds upon the one below it in this scheme, this pyramid.

  2. I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years ~ Rev. 20:4.

  3. Most people behave like lemmings. Say, what's that? A person who follows the will of others, especially in a mass movement, and heads straight into a situation or circumstance that is dangerous, stupid, or destructive: These lemmings eat up propaganda and are so blinded by lies, they don't even see the cliff they're about to fall off.
