Money talks everytime.
rich usually get away with anything , murder , fraud , etc . Root cause lies in widespread corruption.
Root cause is the lucifarian experiment (again) but your point is still very true ;-)
What's the lucifarian experiment?
Deep question, and one that many will not understand but the jist of it is that were all consciousness with spirit at the core of our body. It grows into the seed of life, then the FLOWER OF LIFE and then onto fruit of life. All civilizations have had this at there core principles but today many people don't even understand what he flower of life is, nevermind understand its implications! Without understanding of these which incorporate the tree of life, platonic solids, metatrons cube amoungst many other things you will be a... Well, lost soul!
The lucifarian experiment comes from trying to seperate the body from the spirit which is depicted as the flower of life TWICE over separating from itself. This is what the human race keeps repeating and keeps failing at. And by this I mean humans have been on a 25,920 year cycle (12x 2,xxx years) for millions of years and we just entered aquarios (21 DEC 2012, you might of heard of it) which is the end but its also the beggining, the 13th key in the musical keys (new octave). Again, without proper in depth research your going think this is crazy or 'religious' which it is far from. I found this truth through numbers and science as never been religious but you can not deny the numbers!
If your interested in knowing the truth about this (which explains why a few do what they do to control) and why people don't want to listen to the hard truth yet release yourself and allow yourself to be truely free, innovative and creative you must first discover yourself!
Look up SPIRIT SCIENCE and I believe episode 6 (flower of life) & 10 (math of god) are 2 episodes that will best explain this but in will say without understanding the first episodes. This is not for sheeple or people with closed minds, and 90%+ will say crazy talk.
Well, the crazy talk comes from banksters, governments and religious but cases that don't understand themselves, nevermind others!
The 'elites' or cabals of the world know these things and hold onto the secrets of the fruit of life (1 more step after flower of life) but they don't understand it themselves as they lack compassion, empathy and love. The realm of the spirit does not allow there dark hearts to discover there next evolution and they use us to get there. They need us more than we need them and the more we follow these blind sociopathic (insert all bad words here) we will never learn the 4th(time) & 5th(spirit) dimension. When you sleep your body sleeps, your spirit does not ;-)
It took me 30 years to piece this together and tried understand this over a decade until one day, it just came together and made sense out of this seemingly random, chaotic world we have allowed to happen. When you see this, younsee everything is fake and people are like zombies reading scypts out of a movie without realising they are doing it. They've done a fine job of humanity for control and power but 21st DEC 2012 (who knows the exact 2012 as calanders have been manipulated many times) but in for one can the there's an awakening going on and people are going learn all the knowledge that as been lost over the past 1000s of years, the energy fields are more aligned now and this is the 3rd dawning of man, van goth drew the first one, dawning of consciousness.... You may have seen the picture of the man in a circle and square with arms and legs stretched. That's the 1st dawning and was when man became conscious, this 3rd is going blow peoples minds away!
Peace, and dont fal for there divide and conquer, religion is all the same yet they fight over invisible men in the sky. This world is run on compitition and greed! Well, times are changing and be ready for the storm! Its going be a ride these next few decades :-
money makes the world go round.
