Vampires and their Henchmen

The Vampire myth is a really good one for describing the relationship between the average mom and pop person and the oligarchy that lords over them. This condition has been the norm for thousands of years unfortunately. The arrangement shifts from time to time, but generally falls into that master/slave relationship as the centuries roll by.

The United States was a notable exception. There was a break from being governed by old world ghouls but, they made a comeback in the 20th century, and seem to be completely in control of every institution in the United States now.

Who are these people?

At some point in the remote past, people began to use money tokens and various representations of "wealth" that were durable and transferable and useful in trade. That systemic representation of reality created a sort of parallel universe of unreality that slowly but surely took over the minds of countless billions of people.

Some tiny portion of the population has been able to accumulate money tokens for a very long time. Compare a guy like Bill Gates who recently stacked up billions of dollars of assets within a generation, supposedly, with the banker families who have been doing that same thing for several hundred years throughout the entire industrial revolution.... then compare those people to aristocratic families and other notables or business-like entities who have been doing that for more than a thousand years. All along the way those "people" have probably accumulated what amounts to a parallel government-like apparatus.

I put "people" in quotes, because I think these entities are much more like corporations than individuals, or even families. If you could attach a family name to the entities, it wouldn't really be much more than a label that had some historical patina to it.

Those things are the equivalent of the Vampire. They are literally undead.

 

I think a guy like Bill Gates is really like a henchman. There are countless henchmen of all ranks and stations to these things. He's the public face for all this behind-the-scenes action. People like the Rockefellers are too.

In spite of the vast wealth, and vast networks these Vampires control, the world is too big for them. They seem to have limited resources and scope. The Covid bullshit shows this. They have a network of control that extends to maybe the state capital level in the US, and not even all the state capitals nor all the governors.

They work by subterfuge, scams and schemes rather than overt force--mainly because their "power" is in their wealth. They have to pay employees to do everything.

In the vampire lore, it's notoriously hard to kill a Vampire. One of these long standing entities would be extremely difficult to destroy if you could even find it. They're not really even in one place, or have any real-world manifestation beyond plans and communiques among the henchmen. Their sinews and body is money and money flows, but there's probably a million accounts and a million relatively small piles of cash that constitute that body.

The real problem is the people at large who keep providing sustenance to these things and who lack awareness of their predicament and lack awareness of what's in their own self interest. Groups like the Amish show it's possible to cut off the vampires from your life energy. Something like that is really required.
