Con-spirare: together-breathe. Collusion? From com “with, together”plus ludere “to play”. They play together, they breathe together. They conspire, they collude, and they own all you are getting information from. What is there more to love, from the point of view of world gangsters, even Roman emperors did not have the means to dream of?
Now most dimwits have been programmed to heap contempt on anybody making a theory of how conspiracies works. The wise know better: “People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public.” This 18th-century warning from Adam Smith against mercantile CONSPIRACIES is worth considering in light of the gathering of opinion controllers in Sun Valley.
The conspiracies and collusion of the wealthiest and most influential US citizens have been blatant, for more than 30 years. In 1994, when they met in Sun Valley, the colluding conspirators were worth a few billion dollars at most: the wealthiest, Bill Gates, was worth only six billions. Now Bill owns or controls more than 200 billion dollars. But Bill, whose father headed the most powerful law firm in Washington, and whose mother was, among other things, an IBM director, thus landing the most juicy IBM contract and deal for her son, is now much more than a controller of a huge fortune and many companies. Bill is also a controller of awe and a certain idea of civilization. He is all over the media controlled by his co-conspirators. To make sure the Gates are awe inspiring among the fools, that great humorist, Obama, made him and his then-wife recipients of the “Medal of Freedom”, and then put them in charge of US education, as if they were scholars of some sort, instead of dirty dealers.
Together the top plutocrats conspiring at Sun Valley own or control trillions.
That solar gang controls what the world sees, hears, feels, and even reasons and emotes about. Because they own, or control all the media, including the Internet. This reach extends through history: the most indignant Trump hater and profssional homosexual mainstream corporate star CNN’s Anderson Cooper is there. Cooper is known for his silver head venom against “populism”. Indeed, it’s a family affair: his grandmother Gloria Vanderbild, was one of the world’s wealthiest person and the daughter of a major US diplomat, including ambassador to Berlin. Cooper is the great great great grandson of Cornelius Vanderbilt, also frequently referred to as Commodore, an immensely wealthy magnate.
The hatred against Trump craftily displaced their loud hatred for populism… a pretty unhinged position to have in demos-kratia (people-power). Look at the leaked video of Google’s town hall meeting following the 2016 election. The recent immigrants to the US at the head of Google… hated the People of the USA… because they believed that a popular revolution had started! Such immigrants are viewed a success stories, but they are really just showy frontmen, like the ex-UK Vice PM in charge of truth at Facebook: the real money which financed and promoted and smooth the way of Google, Facebook and company with the Deep State, are all old money, itself part of the Deep State for generations. The entire idea was to create spy and propaganda outfits to control the youth and the world.
CEO Sundar Pichai states in that linked video that the company will develop machine learning and A.I. to combat what an employee described as “misinformation” shared by “low-information voters.”
There are plenty of other wealthy families, among the 1%, but they are irrelevant: they control or own, nothing important, they are just in for the ride provided by the .01% [1].

Trump sued some owners of media for censorship, July 8, in a class action. The next day Biden signed an executive order to crack down on them.
Why worry? Centerpieces of democracy in Ancient Greece were isegoria (equal right to address assemblies) and PARRHESIA… “to speak candidly or to ask forgiveness for so speaking. Under systemic Internet censorship, they have pretty much disappeared. One can ackle all day long about cats or horses, just as one could cackle about them under emperor Justinian. But if one gets dangerous for the system, one gets cancelled.
However, in the last two decades, the Internet became the province of an oligarchy. I have been witness, and victim, of that Internet censorship. My essays on ancient Greek democracy one day disappeared from the Yahoo search engine. That was before even Google was created (2004). When I confided this to an underclass hobo friend of mine, an ex-mathematician, and computer programmer who was anti-system by religion, he looked at me with disbelief and told me I had become completely paranoiac. Far from becoming less paranoiac, I became more so, as I realized anti-systemics themselves were part of the system, so great was the propaganda. Since then I have been banned from dozens of media, including many supposedly from the left.
Top plutocrats at the biggest and most influential monopolies in tech and propaganda, including the cable giant John Malone; the Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg; the Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin; the Apple chief Tim Cook; Warren Buffett; Bill Gates; Mike Bloomberg, Sumner Redstone’s daughter Shari Redstone, herself a media mogul, billionaire Sherril Sandberg, from the Clinton administration, sent to overview the launch of the spy agencies, Google, then Facebook… and on and on. media chiefs like Disney CEO Bob Iger, one of dictator Xi close collaborators. The 90-year-old Rupert Murdoch, a regular, is absent this year.
In 1936, their plutocratic predecessors basked in their collaboration with Hitler, Mussolini, Hirohito, Franco. The Nazis had just hosted the 1936 Olympic winter games and were going to host the summer games. All the fascists were using, and invading countries, thanks to US oil, US banks, US tech, US investment, US connivence, US diplomacy… which was excellent at discouraging enemies of fascism such as France.
Now the moguls collaborate with, and empower the Chinese dictator, Xi, who, in turn, augment their profits..
Some call it “mogulfest,” hosted by Allen & Company, where major monopolies are built. Verizon’s purchase of AOL, for example. Or Comcast’s blockbuster acquisition of NBCUniversal. Comcast is controlled by Mr. Roberts, a friend and collaborator of Xi. “Mogulfest” is a picturesque expression, fascistfest is more like it. When only a few control everything, it’s called fascism.
Facebook tried to ban me for 30 days for relating well-known historical facts about World War Two’s fascist regimes, claiming it was “hate” to do so. (After I sent pages of protest, Facebook recognized it had been “wrong”… But it remains to be seen if nothing will happen next… Meanwhile I now know that just telling the most official truth can get me banned… for “hate”; I have been banned under similar mechanism from MANY Internet outlets… Including for saying that non-German bankers financed Hitler… The exact mechanism the Nazis used in 1933 during the Warburg affair…)
In 2010, Newark Mayor Cory Booker met Mark Zuckerberg in Sun Valley, leading to Zuckerberg’s $100 million dollar donation to Newark schools. Booker next became a powerful US Senator, presidential candidate.
The Sun Valley conspiracy was suspended last year because of the pandemic. But this year, these top moguls are traveling again to Sun Valley for an annual weeklong plotting organized by a boutique investment firm called Allen & Company, known as intensely secret. The firm doesn’t have a website, and, of course, doesn’t give interviews.
Run by the same family since it was founded in 1922, Allen & Co. may be small, but it has developed some deep relationships that have led to roles in some of the biggest tech and media deals and initial public offerings in the last half decades, in particular Google, Facebook, the famous spy agencies.
Bezos reportedly decided to buy “The Washington Post” when he was in Sun Valley. Sun Valley organizes the biggest conspiring service for the media companies they control, enabling plutocrats to achieve total media control. The media lives and breathes only because ultra-powerful people have an interest in keeping it alive for their own profit, and that rests first in making the sheeple think and feel whatever plutocrats and their milieu think the gullible public should feel and think. .
When the Kaiser and his goons decided, on December 11, 1912, to launch a world war, they thought it wise to prepare public opinion with the newspapers. From unexpected French resistance, they lost that war, and that enabled US plutocrats to win the peace, making Germany into their toy, tool and instrument… thus bringing another lethal hysteria, Nazism… Which, in turn, made the entire world into an extension of US plutocracy
At Yalta, the US Deep State offered half of Europe to Stalin; meanwhile the US was making Mao and Ho Chi Minh ever more powerful… So it was indeed world control…Sun Valley Lodge, built by Union Pacific Railroad heir W. Averell Harriman in 1936
Herbert A. Allen, premier investment adviser of the Information Age, who owns a nearby ranch. Allen’s involvement in the entertainment industry began in the 1970s, when he became chairman of Columbia Pictures. “I cannot think now why I invested in a film company,” he says with that flat Wasp detachment. “I think I was bored.”
By luck, brains, or instinct, these men are in a position to define and feed the markets of the future. “The country creates a tidal wave, and some people get to ride it,” says Allen. “the technology is secondary to the people.”
Malone pointed out, at Sun Valley in 1994: “Only America was big enough to justify building mass-production centers for Fords. So, here, in the latter part of the century, our market is the only one large enough to justify building the next Microsoft Windows software, or the next Terminator 2, Jurassic Park. That gives us, as an exporter, a huge edge.”Added Ovitz, another top plutocrat then: “This country is posed to set the standards around the world for information and entertainment services.” Setting up the standard for information? Global plutocratic US based empire OK, anything else not OK.
Collaborating with the fascist regimes of the mid-twentieth century enabled plutocracy to evade the US anti-monopoly laws, making them stronger than those laws had anticipated they could become. What next? The plutocrats rigged the tax system, worldwide. It is tax evasion, pure and simple.
They evaded corporate taxes by claiming their profits in jurisdiction with little, or no tax. That had two wonderful effects:
- They did not pay their fair share of the services the world provided them with.
- As smaller and weaker competition constrained to national theaters could not play the same tax evasion conspiracy, they prevented competition and ever increased their monopolistic powers.
Also remember this: below the most visible plutocrats, there is an entire plutocratic ecology supporting the alpha species. For one plutocratic whale jumping out of the water, there is an army of wealthy minnows below feeding it. The Roman Republic limited wealth absolutely around 50 million dollars or so. Also personal political powers were severely constrained by term limits, and other laws (except in ultra emergencies). The passage to the fascist empire was characterized by the instauration of enormous family hereditary wealth, influence and power… In one concept: enormous hereditary inequality. Most of the wealthiest families in the USA inherited their wealth and power (even Gates and Zuckenberg did so, and that’s why they dropped out of Harvard).
Technology has advanced, and when civilization advances, so does technology. At some point energy procurement became too important, and energy companies were made into public utilities. An example is PG&E, the California public utility which provides electricity and gas in California. It is tightly regulated. AT&T used to be also a tightly regulated entity producing cheap phone links and plenty of physics Nobel laureates in its top notch labs. AT&T was mostly destroyed, and now phone service is extremely expensive and the Nobel winning labs are no more. But then, as in Mexico, fortunes were made by a few and the layers of wealthy hereditary minnows with their charities, foundations and Delaware registered anonymous companies…
In particular telecommunication technology advanced with the invention of the Internet. Facebook in particular, with three billion users can hardly claim to be private. What is happening is that a few privateers with the complicity of some if the US government grabbed world control of the Internet agoria.
This Internet control was achieved already two decades ago, but became obvious to the sheeple only in the last year or so. In particular, crucial information about the deadly COVID was banned from the media, and, in particular, the Internet. The result was around two million dead in the West alone.
Anti-monopolies laws were used to prevent one pole from seizing the production of goods. Now there is just one pole which seized the production of thoughts and even emotions, worldwide, and that conspiracy of the ultra-powerful plots for all to see, in Sun Valley, Idaho.
And if you start to worry a bit too much about it, prepare for the ultimate distraction, war.
But no imminent worries should be had: before it died from invasion and collusion with the invaders, the Roman state spent centuries degenerating in incurious stupor, transforming the Populus Romanus into the bleating sheeple. Actually the Catholic manipulators brandish the concept: the Populus became a flock of sheep.
To think critically nowadays means to be banned by Microsoft, The Guardian, The New York Times, the Daily Kos, official philosophy sites, Facebook, the European Tribune, countless others, etc…. Just as yours truly [2]. Real critical thinking is for the future to learn about, the present sheeple are busy bleating, self loving, content with their common rages, adoring all the plutocratic propaganda they have been bottle fed on….
Sun Valley forever, they all contently bleat.

[1] By 2020, the 1,149 billionaires from Asia-Pacific countries were worth $4.7 trillion, while the U.S. billionaires were worth a total $4.4 trillion. And this is only the tip of the iceberg: those billionaires are themselves financed by the vast mob of ultra wealthy below them. The families worth more than 30 million dollars, roughly the Roman wealth limit, are worth together around 40 trillion dollars. https://robbreport.com/lifestyle/news/world-population-increase-ultra-high-net-worth-individuals-1234622357/

[2] I even had a scuffle with Searle a famous Berkeley philosopher, who accused me of “fantastic logic”, and had me banned, for life, from the major philosophy site he controlled. It was later revealed he had sexually assaulted many female students. In spite of the accusation, UC Berkeley (my university!) kept him on his extravagant payroll, more than 4 times the US family income. A prestigious accuser in astrophysics, literally a few hundred feet away, was not so lucky: instead of getting a Nobel he did not deserve, but was planned to get, he was unceremoniously kicked out… Who said academia was boring?
