Since we're on the subject of rich people and corporations donating money,
I thought I'd share this perspective....

QUOTE
Mark 12: 41-44

The Widow's Offering

Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny.

Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on."


I think that's a great point.
But I will expand on this view, many people will buy public acceptance, especially if they have the cash to spare. How many of these people donate money out of genuine concern over the next man?
It's very easy to tell actually, ever wondered why they (the rich) make a public spectacle out of their donations? wink.gif

This should be obvious but you apparently don't get it. The category of "Riches person in the world" is about the riches *PERSON* not family. There is NO member of the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Morgan, Chase, or any other banking family who's individual income exceeds any of the top 10 richest people alive.


Actually YOU don't get it. He is trying to inform the public about the ruling elite. Hes trying to show that by putting one guy on display the true rulers of the world are still hiding in the shadows. The Federal Reserve is a private cooperation. Watch the movie "America from Freedom to Fasicism" . Boycott the RealID program. The granite state has it right.

By he is 'worth' more, does that mean this is money he owns and also money in his businesses etc?
Like his owned assets, and stupid stuff like intangible assets.. because window dressing is legal and all that.
and why doesn't Bill give me some money? sad.gif

Bill Gates isn't nor ever was the richest man in the world. The Banker families of old are MUCH MUCH MUCH wealthier.

There is the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Morgan, Chase, etc. These are the men who control the world money system, and fund all wars...

...on both sides.

Leading us to believe some computer nerd rip off artist or who ever else has all the money is a sad distraction.


Yeah its not Family its "Person" and even if it was Family ever hear of the Al Saud royal family of Saudi Arabia? over the last few decades try $1.5 trillion in oil alone...

NO, You obvious don't pay attention. He was disputing the fact that Bill Gates was the riches man in the world by using irrelevent, and WRONG, details.

As for "America from Freedom to Fasicism", you are a fool. That film barely had enough credible facts to be called a Documentary. Most of the info in that film is wrong, altered, or taken completely out of context. The fact that you apparently believe what you saw in that film only confirms that you are moron. The director of that movie filmed it to advance his political career and like any good politician he presented only the facts and details that fit his personal agenda. Try doing your own thinking and research and stop believing the BS you see in the movies.

Oh really? and what might this "wrong", "altered" and "out of context" info be? Have you really seen it? I doubt you have.

And you're making stupid assumptions like "The director of that movie filmed it to advance his political career ". You obviously know NOTHING about him, he's suffering from cancer and won't have a future in politics, atleast not one that could last very long.

Please do your own research and don't listen to the propoganda you're obviously fed.
