Main Street Insiders - How The Elites Spend Their Money
What would it be like to be the richest person in the world? We've all thought about it at some point. Would you buy a $750 million mansion? A Hawaiian Island? More cars, yachts, and private jets than you could ever need? It's fun to think about what tens of billions of dollars can buy you. The world's ultra-elites spend their money on all those things. But when you get to an extreme level of wealth, you don't need more stuff. Luckily for you, money buys more than that. It also buys power. That's how the elites choose to spend their cash. We'd like to think they're using their power for good. But that would be naive. One of our core themes is that power corrupts. The more you have, the more you usually want. The elites are on a ruthless quest for power. And they're using it to enact their agenda. Let's talk about how the wealthiest people use their money for devious purposes. Bill GatesBill Gates spent most of the last twenty years as the richest person in the world, and he's been in the top ten since 1992. He's had a massive impact on America. After making hundreds of billions by founding Microsoft, he stepped down from the company to focus on philanthropy. In total, he's given away over $50 billion. He sounds like a pretty cool person, doesn't he? I am very proud of the foundation’s role in helping solve big problems like preventing pandemics, reducing childhood deaths, eradicating diseases, improving food security and climate adaptation, achieving gender equality, and improving educational outcomes. Let's dig a little deeper. The elites often hide their agenda behind "giving." So while they say they're giving to charity, they're really buying power and funding radical causes. One of those causes is climate change. Bill Gates has been one of the loudest proponents of the climate hoax that's driving gas prices through the roof and crashing our economy (read more about how the climate hoax causes inflation here). But of course, he still flies private jets everywhere. Not necessarily great for the environment, but great for Bill. In 2021, he lobbied Congress to pass a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. He promised to spend $1.5 billion on green energy projects in return. Green energy sounds great, but in reality, it's a scam. Renewable energy infrastructure requires unprecedented amounts of rare earth metals. In our podcast episode with financial Twitter influencer 3 Aces, he explained why it would be impossible to mine and process enough rare earth minerals to meet carbon goals. And all our existing production is in China. It's all about the power transfer.
We shouldn't be surprised that Bill Gates wants to help China because he has inexcusable ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation paid the CCP to recruit foreign scientists. He provided grants to the Clinton Health Access Initiative encouraging the developing world to rely on China for healthcare. He even partnered with the CCP to fund research on bat coronaviruses. We can't prove that he caused the pandemic. But his involvement in the research that led to the virus is suspicious when you also realize that he was involved in creating the vaccine. Now he's spending billions to push "global surveillance" to prevent future pandemics. As they say, there are no conspiracies. But there are also no coincidences. On top of his China corruption, he's spent billions advocating censorship, slower population growth, and switching to 100% vegan meat. And he's also the largest owner of private farmland in the United States, so he can influence our food supply. This is bill gates solution to stop population growth
“The world today has 6.8 billion people. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by 10 or 15 percent. But there, we see an increase of about 1.3.” All his "giving" had nothing to do with charity. It was about accumulating control. Mark ZuckerburgMark Zuckerburg, the founder of Facebook (now called Meta), might be even worse than Gates. While he is slightly less wealthy, bouncing around in the top ten, he may be the most powerful. Social media companies are the new weapons of mass destruction. They can influence billions of people. For example, Facebook has 2.94 billion monthly active users. Likewise, Instagram (also owned by Meta) has over 1 billion monthly active users. Finally, WhatsApp has over 2 billion monthly active users. Altogether, Meta can influence half the world. Even worse, their platforms are designed to be highly addicting, as we explain in our article "The Attention Economy Is Part Of The Greatest Wealth Transfer Ever." They collect user data and make billions of dollars selling targeted ads. How is Mark Zuckerburg using that money? For starters, he's spent millions influencing elections. And no matter your political beliefs, are you okay with one of the richest people in the world paying to sway election results? Zuckerburg is now focusing his efforts on the Metaverse. He believes that we will spend significant time in fake virtual reality worlds in the near future. We know how this story ends: Meta will get users addicted to its technology, and Mark Zuckerburg will end up with even more power and control. Jeff BezosJeff Bezos was the world's richest person from 2018 to 2022. He's known for founding Amazon and Blue Origin. He was even still the world's richest man after his ex-wife took $38 billion in their divorce. And he's plenty sinister in his own right. In 2013, he purchased the Washington Post. It quickly became one of the most left-leaning mainstream news sources. It received widespread praise from fellow elites for pushing the Russia collusion hoax, one of the biggest political scandals in US history. Isn't it creepy that one of the richest men in the world controls one of the most influential news sources? Another major editor's note attached to a Washington Post Russiagate story (see others: washingtonpost.com/business/econo… & washingtonpost.com/world/national…).
This one is essentially a retraction. There's no way for major media outlets can keep evading this accountability. It's crashing down. ErikWemple @ErikWemple Meanwhile, his company generates billions in revenue by getting people addicted to consuming (read our article on Amazon here). It owns your grocery store, your movies, and even your doorbell. You won't even be able to escape Jeff Bezos on the moon. He's on a ruthless quest to accumulate more power. Warren Buffet and Charlie MungerLast but not least, you have the dynamic duo of Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger, the co-leaders of Berkshire Hathaway. They're famous worldwide for their investment advice. But instead, they should be known for being involved with the worst of the elites. Warren Buffet has long been one of the world's wealthiest people. He promises to donate almost all of his massive fortune. Sounds great, right? Except he plans to donate most of it to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which we already covered. Not so great. Meanwhile, Charlie Munger has said that America can learn from the Chinese Communist Party. And he admires the way the government controls the economy. He's saying the quiet part out loud. The elites in America long for the CCP's extreme level of control. Elon MuskThe one ultra-wealthy individual we have yet to discuss is Elon Musk. And he's the most obvious because he's currently the world's richest person. The jury is still out on Elon. On one hand, he's a self-proclaimed free-speech absolutist. He recently took control of Twitter after purchasing the company for $44 billion and plans to end Twitter's authoritarian censorship policies. However, he's praised China's economy in the past. And his company Neuralink is exploring how to provide chip implants that link human brains to technology. The elites will undoubtedly attempt to use chip implants for profit and control. Oh, and by the way, he’s already dragging his feet reinstating users who were unfairly banned from Twitter. And he’s consulting with the same people who promoted censorship in the first place. So, until he proves us wrong, we're hesitant about Elon Musk. @yoyoel Talked to civil society leaders @JGreenblattADL, @YaelEisenstat, @rashadrobinson, @JGo4Justice, @normanlschen, @DerrickNAACP, @TheBushCenter Ken Hersch & @SindyBenavides about how Twitter will continue to combat hate & harassment & enforce its election integrity policies Shutting Down The Ultra-ElitesFortunately, we actually have a lot of solutions. First, all of these elites have their wealth in stock. When we sell our stock in their companies, we cause the share price to fall. One investor doesn't do much, but if thousands of us choose to sell, we can punish the elites. Second, Main Street is waking up. We're getting involved economically and politically. And we're sending America First representatives to Washington to restrain the power of the elites. While we don't make political endorsements, we'd encourage you to research the principles of America First congressional candidates like Joe Kent. He understands the battle between the elites and Main Streeters. And he recognizes that the CCP is a key player in that battle. You can find our podcast interview with him below.
Major corporations are the backbone of the elite's power-mongering scheme. That's why we cover them so much. But the ultra-wealthy are a different type of elite. And they're just as dangerous. Don't be fooled by their false claims of charity, look at what they actually do with their money. They only care about their agenda, which is usually a warped utopian dream where they decide what’s best for everyone. But now we know the truth. We aren’t worried about them buying their remote island and their mega yacht. However, Main Streeters aren’t going to let them own our future by reshaping society according to their whims. This is the way. God bless and God bless America, -Jeff and Luke |
