Well it is not like the books you speak of are on the best sellers list or anything so how much do you think they are REALLY making when in most cases they have to publish and distribute their own works or go thorugh small publishing companies.
You dont have to make millions...
The acquisition of powe or the perception of power most often is payment in itself to some.

That is not what you said.

You said:

Seriously though....I don't read too much shit into the fear mongers and conspiracy blogs. Sometimes I feel that the biggest conspiracy of all is the people behind the theories. I mean hey who is making all the money off of the tapes and books and talks?

I don't think it's unrealistic for there to ultimately be a single government controlling the rest of the governments in the world whether any other country is willing admit to being a puppet or not. The US has enough clout to be the one that sways nearly (not all) countries in the direction that they would like. I would not expect there to ever be a formal, labeled alliance or assimilation though.

Now, determining who controls the US government behind the scenes is an even deeper conversation to which I could only speculate greatly
Very good point. You are right that it is not unrealistic.

And this is the question of the day.

I do know that it is no secret that banks and big business have a powerful place in our government.
