The Oligarch Trillionaires: The Real ‘World’s Richest’ List

Occasionally, it becomes necessary to begin a commentary by clearly articulating what will not be contained. This is one of those rare instances. What will not be inside this article is any actual list of the world’s richest people, nor any specific figure supplied as to even the precise number of names on such a list. The point being that such information does not exist in the public domain.

The confusion here, in part, is due to the fact that some previous analysis of this data was less-than-precise. That faulty analysis begins with a recent headline, which was given considerable acclaim and attention in a previous piece.

Richest 62 people as wealthy as half of world’s population, says Oxfam

The additional problem lies within the headline, itself. The “richest 62 people” to whom Oxfam refers are not the world’s richest sixty-two people, not even close. This becomes instantly apparent through a combination of number-crunching, and reviewing previous data already in the public domain.

The (supposed) richest sixty-two people, on all of the phony “lists” produced by the mainstream media, hold a grand total of $1.76 trillion (USD) of wealth. The (supposed) richest eighty people hold a mere $1.9 trillion. The bottom-50% hold another $1.75 trillion. Extrapolate this curve downward in any rational fashion, and we end up with a supposed figure for total, global wealth in the low, $10’s of trillions.

Now we pull out our calculators, and look around the real world. There is more than $200 trillion in outstanding global debt. That number has been tossed around for several years. Some of it is offsetting; most of it isn’t. Here it must be understood that the $200+ trillion in assorted debts is a hard number – the accumulated insanity of decades of banker brainwashing.

The problem? Those who are indebted well in excess of $200 trillion could not come remotely close to satisfying all of these obligations, even if they liquidated 100% of all assets in their possession.

In a sane world; all debts must ultimately be offsetting. In our insane world of Debt Slavery; there is somewhere in excess of $100 trillion of (paper) wealth, in the form of outstanding debt which can never be retired or repaid. This is because most of the world’s hard assets are also held by the same, tiny minority who are the (real) holders of most of these IOU’s: the Oligarchs.

The $100+ trillion in IOU’s held by the real Oligarchs at the top is just the first sliver of their near-infinite, paper wealth. We then move to the Oligarchs’ playground: the private, rigged, unregulated, book-making operation which the bankers and mainstream media call “the derivatives market”.

By 2010, as this mountain of “notional” betting neared an insane total of $1 quadrillion, the banksters decided it was time to start hiding this casino of crime, and so they began by changing their “definition” of the casino, itself. Overnight “the derivatives market” officially shrunk in size by 50%.

If the banksters had not engaged in this sham, then (using their previous formula), the derivatives market now represents an illegal book-making operation, somewhere in the neighbourhood of $1.5 quadrillion in size ($1,500 trillion). Here, most of the crooked betting is offsetting. But because the purpose of this crooked betting is to rig other markets, the betting is still heavily lop-sided.

The holders of the winning side of these rigged, illegal bets hold an even more obscene mountain of paper wealth, this time in the $100’s of trillions. We see real, total, global “wealth” approaching ½ a quadrillion ($500 trillion), and we’re not even close to finishing our inventory of paper wealth. Then, in the real world, we have hard assets with total wealth well into the $10’s of trillions, approaching another $100 trillion in total.

In a real world, where actual, total wealth approaches $1 quadrillion ($1,000 trillion), all we are presented with by the mainstream media is an absurd sliver of that total. We’re given a number in the $10’s of trillions, accounting for literally less than 10% of the world’s actual, total wealth. The other 90% is hidden.

In metaphorical terms; this 90% of actual global wealth is hidden from us via a thick veil of propaganda. In literal terms; this 90% of global wealth is hidden within the hoards of the real World’s Richest, the real Oligarchs.
