Who runs the world is quite a broad question. No, Beyonce lovers, it definitely isn’t girls. More like old, rich white men who stand in the shadows pulling the strings from behind. During lockdown my aunty educated me on some of her favourite conspiracy’s theories. From Madeline McCann to the moon landing, she has a view on them all. At first, I was a bit unsure. Conspires have always seemed so farfetched and crazy but she actually made a lot of sense.  This one stuck with me particularly. Who is actually in charge of the world?

Many people may think of Tump or Putin, the two most powerful world leader. However, powerful leaders are much more likely to just be the puppets used for a much larger and more dangerous organisation.

Maybe when you think of influential people you think of Rupert Murdoc, Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos. All extremely wealthy men who have a significant slice of the worlds market at their fingertips and could easy push their own propaganda on to their customers. However, they don’t.

Some reports say that it is about 150 men who rule the world. They control money flow, stocks and most important assets. These men behind the curtain have often been referred to as the super class who are all united in their world mission, and no one really know what that is. Family’s such as the Rockefeller family, a banking family that owns one of the world’s largest fortunes, have often been criticised for being overly influential in American politics. David Rockefeller said “Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure — one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.” In this interview David basically admits to being part of some sort of super group ruling the politics and economics of the world. This leads you to wonder who else is involved in this group and just hasn’t broken the mole to come forward and talk about it.

As I have be researching this subject there really isn’t a lot of information on it. I started by just looking for a list of names about who could be in this group. I could barely find anything, for obvious reasons. The people in the clan have so much money, power and connections that they can keep their identities and activities completely secret. It was reported that a secret meeting took place of around 50 extremely wealthy men. What happened in the meeting? No one knows. No reporters were allowed in and no one spoke a word of what happen inside.

So where does this leave us? To be honest nobody knows what’s going to happen. Maybe in 10 years we will find out who was in charge all this time.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
