Throughout human history, one truth has persisted: the world has always been ruled by a select few, while the masses have lived under their control, often unknowingly. These powerful few, whom we now refer to as oligarchs, have held the reins of civilization since the first kingdoms emerged, and they continue to dominate today. The sad reality is that most of us are blind to this fact, prisoners in a system built to maintain their dominance.

From the kings of ancient times to the billionaires and political elites of today, the oligarchs have learned one key lesson—control the narrative, and you control the people. This is why the history taught in schools often glorifies the victors, while the real stories of oppression, exploitation, and manipulation are passed down in whispers, from one generation to the next.

A History of Exploitation: The Kings of the Past

To understand the power of the oligarchs today, we must first look at the past. Kings and queens of the ancient world were not benevolent rulers, as our textbooks sometimes suggest. Instead, they were masters of exploitation, extracting wealth from the labor of their subjects—peasants, who were little more than slaves to the crown.

In medieval Europe, for instance, peasants worked the land, toiling from dawn to dusk to produce food, only to hand over a substantial portion of their crops to the lords and kings who “owned” the land. The aristocracy enjoyed lives of luxury and excess, while their subjects starved and suffered. And when the kings went to war, it was the peasants who were sent to fight and die on the battlefield, while the ruling class stayed safe behind castle walls.

This wasn’t limited to Europe. Across the world, in civilizations from ancient Egypt to feudal Japan, rulers consolidated power by controlling resources, land, and most importantly, people. And the real histories of these empires have often been hidden, rewritten, or whitewashed to make the rulers seem like heroes.

History Written by the Victors: The Oligarch’s Tool of Control

One of the most effective tools in the oligarch’s arsenal is historical narrative control. The old saying, “history is written by the victors,” rings true when you realize that the history taught in schools is often incomplete, biased, or outright false. The oligarchs of every era have ensured that their legacy is portrayed in a favorable light while their atrocities are conveniently omitted.

The real stories—stories of revolutions crushed, of people rising up against injustice only to be silenced—are passed down quietly through families and communities. It is through these stories, hidden from the official records, that the truth is preserved. Whether it’s the American Revolution, where wealthy landowners sought independence but not true freedom for all, or the French Revolution, where the common people briefly overthrew the elite only for a new set of oligarchs to rise in their place, the pattern is the same: those in power shape the narrative to suit their agenda.

The Modern Oligarchy: Bloodlines of Power

What many people don’t realize is that the oligarchs who rule the world today are often descendants of the same bloodlines that have controlled humanity for centuries. Take the Presidents of the United States, for example. Research shows that every U.S. president, bar one, is directly descended from European royalty. The Bush family, for instance, traces its lineage back to British royalty, and genealogical studies have shown that many U.S. leaders share common ancestors with the kings of England and France.

In fact, 43 of the 45 U.S. presidents share a common bloodline. This isn’t a coincidence. The oligarchs have always understood the importance of controlling leadership. By ensuring that the same families hold power, whether through political office, corporate dominance, or media control, they maintain their grip on society. The facade of democracy and free markets is just that—a facade.

These ruling families have carefully preserved their bloodlines, intermarrying to keep wealth and power within a select few. And while the masses believe they live in a free society, the truth is, the game is rigged in favor of the oligarchs, who have mastered the art of keeping the public docile and distracted.

The Global Prison: Earth as a Controlled Environment

We live in a world that is, quite literally, a prison—but not one made of bars and walls. It’s a prison of the mind, created by the oligarchs who control every aspect of our lives. They control the media we consume, the education we receive, and even the governments that are supposed to represent us. This system is designed to keep us complacent, to prevent us from questioning the structures that hold us in place.

We are taught to believe that freedom is voting once every few years or having the ability to buy products in a marketplace. But true freedom—freedom from exploitation, from manipulation, from the oligarchs themselves—has never been achieved on this planet. The American Dream, the idea that anyone can rise to the top through hard work and perseverance, is largely a myth. The reality is that the oligarchs have stacked the deck in their favor, ensuring that wealth and power flow upward, not outward.

The Oligarchs’ Playbook: Ruling Over People

The oligarchs know how to rule over the people of Earth because they have been doing it for millennia. Their methods have evolved, but their objectives remain the same—maintain control, accumulate wealth, and ensure that the masses remain subservient. They do this through:

• Manipulation of Information: Control the media, and you control what people believe.
• Economic Exploitation: Create systems of debt and wage labor that keep people trapped in cycles of poverty.
• Political Puppetry: Ensure that politicians, regardless of party affiliation, answer to the same elite interests.
• Surveillance and Fear: Use technology to monitor and control dissent, while instilling fear through the threat of war, terrorism, or economic collapse.

These tactics have been employed throughout history, from ancient kingdoms to modern-day governments. The methods may have changed, but the goal—control—remains the same.

The Truth Hidden in Plain Sight

What’s most troubling is that the truth is often hidden in plain sight. We are so conditioned to accept the narratives we are given that we rarely question them. But when you start to dig deeper, the pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place.

The oligarchs know this, and that is why censorship is on the rise. Independent voices that challenge the system are silenced, while the masses are fed a steady diet of distraction through entertainment, consumerism, and fear-based news cycles.

But not everyone is blind to this reality. There are people who see through the facade, who understand that we are living in a carefully constructed system designed to keep us in our place. The question is—what will we do about it?

The oligarchs may have perfected their methods of control, but awareness is the first step toward change. It’s time to acknowledge the prison we live in, understand the forces that keep us here, and begin the difficult work of breaking free.

Please follow along with me on this journey of discovery as I share my brush of madness with exquisite clarity. Luckily, I was never a quick fix-it junkie where I said no to many suggestions from board-certified or certifiable doctors because I felt it in my soul that it was merely a bonafide being placed on my issues. The names of sure doctors have been changed because, frankly, I don’t want to be sued for proven the lack in their field. 

Hippocrates was right when he said: Let the food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food.
