After getting bashed on the head by Alex Jones and his documentary Endgame, I decided to stay away from those that have already made up their minds and started googling some of the people at the top of the power structures. If you are inclined to believe in the conspiracies it is sure easy to connect the dots. A good example is Gordon Brown, how did this guy claw his way top.

Insiders involved in the decision have broken ranks after an 18-month battle in which the Treasury has blocked attempts by The Sunday Times to make public the official advice received by Brown before he sold the gold.

Another interesting connection is Jim Rogers and George Soros through the Quantum funds.

Interestingly enough Jim Rogers got out of the Quantum Funds in 2007 and sold all his US holdings to relocate in Singapore. Pretty drastic move that would require some real thought and foresight. Point being there is lots of fodder on the web for conspiracy theorists and I am doing my own DD, not on the conspiracy, but on the sharks that are swimming in the financial markets. Google some of the names, Soros, Rothschilds, Rockerfellers, etc. etc. and you start to wonder if small players like us even have a chance.
