Humbly, the way I see it is that They have been allowed to have relatively high positions so that the truly moneyed Ones, the hidden hand, has a scapegoat for all the unEthical things They do.
And that hidden hand has been pulling the money strings for a millennium, at least. Maybe two or more. The Ones today I would wager have names like Orsini and Medici - Rome never died - but I could not prove it.
But They are the quadrillionaires - or pentillionaires, sextillion... Septilliom... Who knows?
The Ones We see on the stage are not the Ones writing the scripts, casting the actors, and directing from the wings.
Those who seek positions of power are the last ones you wont to let have some.
Now that the masses accept that these folks get to kill those folks because reasons getting back to peaceful coexistence is a long shot.
Too many fighting against it so that they get their turn to dish some out.
Well, humbly, there is a solution in free energy. And We do not have to be on the same page.
