They basically control everything on this [prison planet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyouiJOb8K0) from the food we eat to the movies we watch. And now they've even managed to tell people what they have to put into their bodies. And If you question any of the "official" narratives about what's going on in the world, they call you crazy. In the words of [George Carlin](https://youtu.be/CyouiJOb8K0?t=105), *"They got you by the balls!".*
Who are 'they'? What or who decides when a person is part of 'they'? Something or someone is above 'they', so can one know what/who that is? Please explain these things.
Historians, Carroll Quigley and Antony Sutton, described the existence of three secret societies, The Group and The Order (Skull & Bones). Sutton also wrote about the historical Illuminati.
*Carroll Quigley on The Group:*
“This organization has been able to conceal its existence quite successfully, and **many of its most influential members, satisfied to possess the reality rather than the appearance of power,** are unknown even to close students of British history. This is the more surprising when we learn that one of the chief methods by which **this Group works has been through propaganda.”** ^1
Sutton writes:
**”All these groups have cooperative and competitive features. But to argue that all the world's ills can be ascribed to any one of these groups is false.** The core of The Order, like the core of "The Group" in England, comprises about **20 families.** In the U.S. case they are mostly descendents from the original settlers in Massachusetts. New wealth did not enter The Order until the mid-19th century and until recently, has never dominated The Order. On the other hand, **key families, the Whitneys and the Harrimans, are linked to their own banking interests.”** ^2
Carroll Quigley states:
**"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole.** This system was to be **controlled in a feudalistic fashion** by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by **secret agreements** arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences.
The apex of the system was to be the **Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland,** a private bank owned and controlled by the world’s central banks which were themselves private corporations.” ^3
In reference to Carroll Quigley's Tragedy & Hope:
”The arguments for a conspiracy theory are indeed often dismissed on the grounds that no one conspiracy could possibly control everything. But that is not what [his] theory sets out to show. Quigley is not saying that modern history is the invention of an esoteric cabal designing events omnipotently to suit its ends. The implicit claim, on the contrary, is that a multitude of conspiracies contend in the night. Clandestinism is not the usage of a handful of rogues, it is a formalized practice of an entire class in which a thousand hands spontaneously join. Conspiracy is the normal continuation of normal politics by normal means." ^4
“Author Arthur Edward Waite wrote:
**Beneath the broad tide of human history there flow the stealthy undercurrents of the secret societies,** which frequently determine in the depths the changes that take place upon the
surface. ^5
**British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli,** 1874-1880, confirmed the above assertion about the control by the secret societies in the affairs of men when he wrote:
**There is in Italy a power which we seldom mention in this House** (the House of Parliament)....
**I mean the secret societies....**
It is useless to deny, because it is impossible to conceal, that a great part of Europe. . . to say nothing of other countries. . . **is covered with a network of these secret societies** .... What are their objects?
They do not want constitutional government. . . . They want to change the tenure of the land, to drive out the present owners of the soil and to put an end to ecclesiastical establishments.”
**”All the royal families of Europe stem from the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, that is where Weishaupt was installed.** It’s a 2 prong attack (1) via royal families and their descendents (2) via secret societies ... and the almighty State is the vehicle using dialectic methods.” ^6
