According to a study that was just released by Boston Consulting Group, the wealthiest one percent now own 39 percent<\/strong> of all the wealth in the world.\u00a0 Meanwhile, the bottom 50 percent only own 1 percent<\/strong> of all the wealth in the world combined<\/strong>.\u00a0 The global financial system has been designed to funnel wealth to the very top, and the gap between the wealthy and the poor continues to expand at a frightening pace.\u00a0 The global elite continue to hoard wealth and heap together enormous mountains of treasure in these troubled days even though the economic suffering around the planet continues to grow.\u00a0 So exactly how have the global elite accumulated so much wealth?\u00a0 Well, one of the primary ways is through the use of debt.\u00a0 As I have written about previousl<\/strong><\/span>y<\/strong><\/span><\/a>,<\/strong><\/span> there is about 190 trillion dollars of debt in the world but global GDP is only about 70 trillion dollars.\u00a0 Our debt-based global financial system systematically transfers wealth from us and our governments into the hands of the global elite.\u00a0 And of course the gigantic banks and corporations that the elite control are constantly gobbling up everything of value that they can find: natural resources, profitable small businesses, real estate, politicians, etc.\u00a0 Money, power, ownership and control are becoming very, very tightly concentrated at the top of the food chain, and that is a very dangerous thing for humanity.\u00a0 When too much money and power gets into too few hands, it almost always results in tyranny.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n What will eventually happen when the global elite have ALL the wealth?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Will the rest of us work as serfs in a system that they have iron-fisted control over?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n And what if they decide that they don’t really need billions of people working for them?\u00a0 Will they decide to implement population control measures in order to reduce the number of “useless eaters”?\u00a0 It is already happening in China and other highly centralized societies.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n When all of the economic rewards of a society go to a very small handful of people, it tends to be very destabilizing.\u00a0 We have seen this again and again throughout history.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n When people have everything taken away from them and they have nothing left to lose, they tend to become very desperate.\u00a0 And right now we are rapidly hurtling toward a time of great global instability.\u00a0 Anger and frustration are growing all over the globe, and the rate at which the gap between the wealthy and the poor is widening seems to be accelerating.\u00a0 Just check out these numbers…<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n -The wealthiest 1 percent of the global population now owns <\/strong><\/span>39 <\/strong><\/span>percent<\/strong><\/span><\/a> of all the wealth on the planet.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n -According to a report that was released last summer, the global elite have up to 32 TRILLION<\/strong><\/span> dollars<\/strong><\/span><\/a> stashed in offshore banks around the planet.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n -According to a study conducted by Credit Suisse, the bottom two-thirds of the global population owns <\/strong><\/span>just<\/strong><\/span> 3.3%<\/strong><\/span><\/a> of all the wealth.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n -A study by the World Institute for Development Economics Research discovered that the bottom half of the world population owns approximately 1<\/strong><\/span> percent<\/strong><\/span><\/a> of all global wealth.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n -It is estimated that the entire continent of Africa only owns approximately 1 <\/strong><\/span>percent<\/strong><\/span><\/a> <\/strong><\/span>of the total wealth of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n -Approximately <\/strong><\/span>1 billion <\/strong><\/span>people<\/strong><\/span><\/a> throughout the world go to bed hungry each night.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n -If you can believe it, more than 3 billion people currently <\/strong><\/span>live on less than 2 dollar a<\/strong><\/span> day<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n In the world that we live in, money equals power.\u00a0 And the more money that the top one percent accumulate, the more power they will accumulate as well.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n So exactly who are the top one percent?\u00a0 I discussed this at length in my previous article entitled “Who Runs The World? Solid Proof That A Core Group Of<\/strong><\/span> Wealthy Elitists Is Pulling The Strings<\/strong><\/span><\/a>“<\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0 The global elite are absolutely obsessed with power and control and they have been working to implement their agenda for a very long time.\u00a0 In the end, they hope to unite the entire planet under a monolithic global system that they control.\u00a0 They are actually quite open about this – it is just that most people do not want to believe it.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The gap between the wealthy and the poor is rapidly growing in the United States as well.\u00a0 Sadly, this means that the middle<\/strong><\/span> class<\/strong><\/span><\/a> <\/strong><\/span>is steadily disappearing as the ranks of those that are living in <\/strong><\/span>poverty<\/strong><\/span><\/a> continues to increase.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n But of course not everyone is doing badly in the U.S. right now.\u00a0 In fact, those that own stocks have had lots of reasons to celebrate in recent months.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n So who owns stocks?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Well, the wealthy do of course.\u00a0 In fact, approximately 60<\/strong><\/span> percent<\/strong><\/span><\/a> <\/strong><\/span>of all individually held stocks are owned by the top 5 percent of all Americans.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n During the last recession, Americans lost 16 trillion dollars of wealth.\u00a0 Since then, about 45 percent of that wealth has been “recovered”, but the vast majority of that “recovery” has been due to rising stock prices.\u00a0 The following comes from a recent Washington Post<\/strong><\/span> article<\/strong><\/span><\/a>…<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n From the peak of the boom to the bottom of the bust, households watched a total of $16 trillion in wealth <\/span><\/strong><\/span>disappear<\/strong><\/span><\/a> amid sinking stock prices and the rubble of the real estate market. Since then, Americans have only been able to recapture 45 percent of that amount on average, after adjusting for inflation and population growth, according to the report from the St. Louis Fed released Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n In addition, the report showed most of the improvement was due to gains in the stock market, which primarily benefit wealthy families. That means the recovery for other households has been even weaker.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cA conclusion that the financial damage of the crisis and recession largely has been repaired is not justified,\u201d the report stated.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Once upon a time, the United States had the largest and most thriving middle class in the history of the world.\u00a0 That was a great thing.\u00a0 But now the middle class is being destroyed and government dependence has surged to an all-time<\/strong><\/span> high<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The following are some of the incredible statistics that show how wide the gap between the wealthy and the poor in America is becoming…<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n -The wealthiest 1 percent of all Americans now own more than a <\/strong><\/span>third<\/strong><\/span><\/a> of all the wealth in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n -In the United States today, the wealthiest one percent of all Americans have a greater net worth <\/strong><\/span>than the bottom 90 percent<\/strong><\/span> combined<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n -According to Forbes, the 400 wealthiest Americans have more wealth than the bottom 150 million Americans combine<\/strong><\/span>d<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n -The six heirs of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton have as much wealth as the bottom one-third of all Americans combine<\/strong><\/span>d<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n -On average, households in the top 7 percent have 24 times as much <\/strong><\/span>wealth<\/strong><\/span><\/a> as households in the bottom 93 percent.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n -Between 2009 and 2011, the wealth of the bottom 93 percent of all Americans declined by <\/strong><\/span>4<\/strong><\/span> percent<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, while the wealth of the top 7 percent of all Americans increased by
