9.Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz al Saud

I met his nephew in Dubai last year. He was there for some meeting.

[Inkognito]

Congratulations.

Did you get a prize?

9.Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz al Saud

I met his nephew in Dubai last year. He was there for some meeting.

Why were you in Dubai?

[Bluntman!?!]

Congratulations.

Did you get a prize?

Yes, they offered me your country but I turned it down. I do not know if they can give me a country they neither live in nor govern. Perhaps they were offering me the people, perhaps not.

I won a trip there so I can be shown property for sale, this was before the economy there was so bad. Now you will see buildings half built with construction equipment idle next to them.

I read somewhere Luanda is one of the most expensive places to live, is this true, nigga?

[Inkognito]

It is currently the most expensive city in the world.

[Bluntman!?!]

White Americans must hate that.

[Bluntman!?!]

That is good to hear as long as white Americans are happy and nigger lovers, I am happy.

I assume you work in oil.

Do you get paid that much? Or they are like Dubai they pay foreigners from particular countries (U.S,England,France) more or even someone with a degree from a foreign country more so then the locals in the same field.

[Kizzang]

Would think Bernanke would be #1 fuck the bullshit. He has the worlds economy in his hands shi

[Bluntman!?!]

But he does not have a 500,000 man + army like the top 3 do, and all things considering Putin is a bad ass dictator but isn't even called one, that's power.

Bernanke does have a shitload of power for one man.

[Kizzang]

Considering he has the power to destroy the economy of the entire world though.. Fuck an army..

I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies... – President Thomas Jefferson

[Bluntman!?!]

I understand your point but they also have enough influence that if the top 3 wanted they can start a world war easily or even a revolution, but then again so can Bernanky.

The economy is superficial the bankers always controlled it. He alone has a title by being chairman but don't you think the power is divided? We already seen a depression and recessions, I am sure even then one man could not of had enough power to do that it had to of been a council. What do you think? Bankers are far to greedy to allow that in my opinion.

[Kizzang]

The power of the dollar is not divided. Since the US dollar is the standard and every bank and ever country has to have US dollars on reserve, and he controls US dollars.. I think they of course behind the scenes do not allow Bernanke to just do what ever, with the BIS and what not, but in essence he could potentially have the power to destroy the world economy so.

[Inkognito]

Bernanke is Jewish.

Enough said.

"The lesson taught by all these facts is this: As long as mankind continue to pay "national debts," so-called--that is, so long as they are such dupes and cowards as to pay for being cheated, plundered, enslaved, and murdered--so long there will be enough to lend the money for those purposes; and with that money a plenty of tools, called soldiers, can be hired to keep them in subjection. But when they refuse any longer to pay for being thus cheated, plundered, enslaved, and murdered, they will cease to have cheats, and usurpers, and robbers, and murderers and blood-money loan-mongers for masters. "

how is the google founders number 3?...

[Kizzang]

money............................... same reason the guy who owns wal mart is number 8 or some shit. money is just a physical, tangible, measure of power. other than that it is just a piece of paper.

Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world. – Henry Kissinger

..they are number 5 though..

edit- same reason bill gates is 11
