The Evolution of the Elite - Our species is not some fixed none changing organism; we are random variations, evolving from one another, from fin to limb morphing into creatures marvelously attuned to our environment. Unfortunately these marvelous random creations are now the same ones destroying societies, the environment and the planet from which they crawled out.
Humans are Destructive
Never has there been a creature so destructive, violent and purely evil as humans that inhabited this planet. Ninety nine percent of all plants and animals to ever grow or roam this planet have become extinct and at some point in the future humans will to. However of all the plants and animals who inhabited this planet we will be the only ones more then likely to cause our own extinction. For all our intelligence and knowledge we continue everyday to impose suffering on others and purposely develop weapons and chemicals that destroy the very environment we so depend on for survival.
If a scientist or engineer had designed and built a human, the conclusion surely after a short test period, would be to lock it in a tightly sealed container, with clear instructions to never be released into the environment. Where in our evolutionary history did we change to such greedy vial creatures? Was it from need and necessity or from some other source? Needs and necessities are things we must have for survival, like food, water and shelter. So what was it that caused us to become such violent and destructive creatures?

Greed
Greed is defined as a selfish or excessive desire for more than is needed or deserved, especially of money, wealth, food, or other possessions. Greed is a faulty approach to life, and a person who is greed driven is fixated on seeking more, more power, attention, knowledge, just about anything. Fundamentally it’s a sense of deprivation, of something lacking within, and it becomes a fixation on seeking and gaining more. Once humans became greed driven it has changed our whole existence and has become a problem in every society on our planet. It is now a strategy and a desire of almost all humans and we dedicate ourselves daily in the pursuit of more and more.

The Evolution of Greed
During the height of the ice age our ancestors were confined to Africa, but the climate even there was far colder than it is now, anthropologists believe that the pre-human population was reduced to a few hundred individuals, approximately 300 pairs was their estimate. Throughout most of human evolution, there was no opportunity for a person to attain widespread power and influence over many others. This has only happened since the advent of large, organized societies. Also, money had not been invented yet, although apparently barter and mutual gifts were common as forms of exchange between individuals and groups. |
However, there may have been a prehistorically equivalent to greed, in that certain people may have hoarded resources such as food or fuel. Those who managed to do so would have had a better chance of survival than their peers who failed to do so. Thus, hoarding behavior, as an early form of greed, along with any potential genetic factor which increases such behavior, would presumably have been selected for evolutionarily in these times when survival was difficult.
Advent of Agriculture
Once agriculture was invented several thousand years ago, the human population began to expand greatly, also aided by a more livable environment and other technological innovations. At this time, most peoples stopped being nomadic, settling down in specific locations and forming large scale societies, including cities. At this time, money and politics were invented. Consequently, it became possible for hoarding behavior to rise to a new level which exceeded simply having more than enough supplies to get through a tough winter or drought, and extended to outright greed which involved having more resources than a person could possibly use.

Monetary Greed
This is similar in nature to its current form, but much smaller in scale and far less sophisticated. It appeared to involve either people who were in a position to regulate a limited and valued resource, or more directly, the people who put themselves in charge of the money itself. The greedier among us have always tended to be attracted to politics as well, which allowed them to satisfy their desires for power, and through such power, wealth through the paying of taxes and fealties.

Corporations
Corporations began to form in the 1700s and 1800s in concert with the industrial revolution. However, there were strict limits on the power of corporations. For example, when the United States was founded, corporations were only allowed to exist for 50 years maximum, after which the government dissolved them. Certainly, our ancestors would have found the concept of corporate personhood as some sort of hyper-privileged, immortal being as endorsed by the current Supreme Court in the Citizens United decision. However, as corporate wealth grew, along with its influence, the corporate elite managed to abolish the time limit on corporations.
Meanwhile, many of them have moved their headquarters to places with lower corporate tax rates. Thus, they are able to make greater profits which they stow away in Swiss bank accounts and the like, or invest in stocks which they are in a position to manipulate.

Corporate Control
The only thing that Corporations are concerned about is “Profit”! That's it profit, for the shareholders and the enormous salaries, perks and retirement packages (Golden Parachutes) for their executives. To hell with the average worker, the community they thrive in and the retired, the homeless, the unemployed, the underemployed, the sick, the children and the poor people. They have used their money to purchase our governments throughout the world and the Judicial Systems. They buy elections with their enormous campaign advertising investments and they simply corrupt the individuals in power so that the wealth always flows to them and their wealthy investors.
Our environment has been raped and exploited by these Corporations all in the name of profits for the few at the expense of our clean air, our pure water systems and streams, our scarred and polluted earth (open pit mines, mountaintop removal, mine tailing, fracking, radiation leaks, radioactive waste storage, oil spills, rocket fuel pollution, etc), the decimated oceans and our clear cut forests. And they still demand less regulation and a freer hand to continue this exploitation.

Banking
How did we let this happen or even more so, why? At what point did we hold up our hands and say, OK, it’s all yours do with it as you will. Who and what allowed this to happen? Money, the root of all evil and what it controls was basically the business of the early merchant banks and was used in the promotion of trade. The new class of commercial banks made accepting deposits and issuing loans their principal activity. They lend the money they received on deposit and they created additional money in the form of new bank notes. The money they created was partially backed by gold, silver or other assets and partially backed only by public trust in the institutions that created it.
These Banks are now large corporations and control just about everything, governments the media and everything we need to survive. Once governments were no longer able to pay their debts, they had to turn to printing money, but needed some way for this money to have value which meant it had to be matched to some commodity. Sense the banks and large corporation’s control all the commodities meant these same corporations now controlled the value of the dollar. Today, like the currency of most nations, the dollar is fiat money, un-backed by any physical asset. In monetary economics, fiat money is an intrinsically useless product, used as a means of payment or making feasible trades that would not otherwise be possible, either because producers and consumers may not anonymously write IOUs, or because of physical constraints.

Global Elite
The banking industry and these large corporations are controlled by the so called global elite, their goal is control. They want all of us enslaved to debt, they want all of our governments enslaved to debt, and they want all of our politicians addicted to the huge financial contributions that they funnel into their campaigns. Since the elite also own all of the big media companies, the mainstream media never lets us in on the secret that there is something fundamentally wrong with the way that our system works.

Bank for International Settlements - (BIS)
An immensely powerful international organization that most people have never even heard of secretly controls the money supply of the entire globe. It is called the Bank for International Settlements, and it is the central bank of central banks. It is located in Basel, Switzerland, but it also has branches in Hong Kong and Mexico City. It is essentially an unelected, unaccountable central bank of the world that has complete immunity from taxation and from national laws. Even Wikipedia admits that “it is not accountable to any single national government.“. |
The Bank for International Settlements was used to launder money for the Nazis during World War II, but these days the main purpose of the BIS is to guide and direct the centrally-planned global financial system. Today, 58 global central banks belong to the BIS, and it has far more power over how the U.S. economy (or any other economy for that matter) will perform over the course of the next year than any politician does. Every two months, the central bankers of the world gather in Basel for another “Global Economy Meeting”. During those meetings, decisions are made which affect every man, woman and child on the planet, and yet none of us have any say in what goes on. The Bank for International Settlements is an organization that was founded by the global elite and it operates for the benefit of the global elite, and it is intended to be one of the key cornerstones of the emerging one world economic system.
Thought for Concern
If you thought we had any control over what happens on our planet or the banking industry you would be wrong, and we have no say in what our government does or doesn’t either. These organizations and the people that run them are only interested in what they can get from our planet and from us and have no concern at all for our environment or the well-being of humans, they are only interested in themselves and how much more they can get. These people should be classified as anti-humans and anti-planet and should be locked in a box with clear instructions to never open or be allowed into the environment.
