Bildenberg

One of the lesser known grand conspiracies centers around the Bildenberg Group. Since its inaugural meeting in 1954 they have met each year at different locations. About 130 leaders and experts from industry, finance, labor, academia, media and politicians from Europe and America get together to discuss major issues of the day. The meetings are private and thus foster a conspiracy. Those who do not trust this group suggest they were instrumental in creating the global economy which blossomed for 40 years and increased the wealth of the rich and powerful. In the pre war years of the last century the wealthiest one tenth of one percent owned 25% of all the wealth. During and after WW2 that began to drop and ended up at 10% in 1950. Since then, the super rich have move back up to 25%. Globalization has been good for this group at the expense of the low to middle income groups. Much of this increase occurred in the last 20 years. When the income gap becomes high enough ordinary citizens use their political power to change the system. This change started in 1991 when the Soviet Union fell and increased in intensity with the Trump election. Make America Great Again meant to many power to the people. Working people finally woke up to the fact that while the rich were getting richer they had to settle for the loss of good paying jobs and incomes that could not keep up with inflation. Many of these voters are still upset and want more change.
