For John, BLUF: Who is running the world? Nothing to see here; just move along.
From time to time we hear about those who are "running the world", the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group, etc. Now comes Foreign Policy Magazine with its own list of the 500 most powerful people in the world.
Is it possible to identify the 500 most powerful individuals on the planet—one in 14 million? That's what we tried to do with the inaugural FP Power Map, our inventory of the people who control the commanding heights of the industries that run the world, from politics to high finance, media to energy, warfare to religion. Think of it as a list of all the most important other lists. Here's how they stack up—and why (sorry, declinists!) Americans are still No. 1 in pretty much everything that matters. For now.Regards — Cliff

Ah yes, the 1% revisited. Well....this has to stop. The world belongs to the people....not to these 500. Why, imagine the billions of folks who enjoy not equality whatsoever with this golden group. Don't THEY deserve to run the world too? It is all because of that dirty rotten capitalism. It should be outlawed and communism declared the law of the One World Government.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....facetious as it is, I bet I could run for an office on it and win. Then I could be one of the 1%.
