Where did the Owners come from?

There is a tiny number of people who essentially own everything on the planet.

They own the holding companies who own the banks who own the mortgages who own almost all the property everywhere. Far less than 1% of the world's people owns 99.9% of the world's resources. They run the money game, the political game, the military game, the infrastructure, the manufacturing, and the government, and even instigate control systems, social algorithms, so subtle and silly, you practice them every year, like Christmas, thinking they are merely social celebrations.

Once, they were very hands-on, directly controlling everyone's lives, back when there was only a million or so people on the planet. Now they do it indirectly, making the decisions and having others carry them out. Remember, there was a first time, a first decision, a first action for everything that Humanity has done and is doing. An individual was faced with a crises and the future proceeded from his or her decision as to how to handle that crises. Also, they are not rich. They are beyond rich. They can have anything they want, including life and death, just by asking. They have others, underlings, who handle the money for them when its necessary to use it.

You have never seen nor met one, because their survival is based upon never having their names mentioned, never having a photo shown, never having a newspaper article written about them... They are beyond all our media, and thus we do not know they exist.

They are no group you have ever heard of, none of the groups so often talked about, like the Trilateral Commission, or the Bilginburgers, (sic?)or any of the conspiracy theory targets. But they set those groups up as straw men, to take the karma of the Owner's decisions. And through their employees, they hire our Presidents, run our election shows, and even control much of what you see on TV. They do it through proxy, through hirelings, through those who want to be in the public eye and who will stay bought.

As I said, you don't know them, but they are the people who decide what options you will get to choose from. The rats don't design and build the maze, and they think they have a choice of where to run, but we all know their choices are made by the researcher who did design and build the maze.

This is how I think they came into being, millennia ago. I wrote this for an elist of close friends, but I think it should be considered by everyone. After all, it's our world, regardless of their manipulations.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to say a little about the Owners. (a little? ROFL!) I suggest that those who don't want to read something complicated and which you might consider speculation or seemingly irrelevant skip this message. I have to start at the beginning, so it willlll be long winded.

There are two 'philosophies' battling it out in the world now, and which have battled it out for many, many millennia, from a time long before the Agricultural Revolution. The two views are 'Mother' (female) and 'God' (male). I'm not saying that men have one philosophy and women another, but that back in the beginning, the people saw the world as feminine, (where we get the 'Mother Earth' label.) That view was from the fact that Humans didn't survive because of their own efforts... they could easily tell that the environment was the source of their survival and good times and bad came from environmental factors. Since the process of birth and death was the source of their survival, they saw nature as female.

When we evolved, women were the most important gender in the tribe, for the tribe's survival. They were highly valued because you could lose most of the men to predators and the tribe would continue, but if you lost most of the women, the tribe would die out. This factor had evolved Humanity with males having massive upper body strength and women having massive lower body strength. Upper body strength because men would stay and try to bluff predators as the women ran away, escaped, with the children. Losing a male was not considered tribe threatening, although grieved, of course. Losing a woman was a terrible blow to the tribe's survival. Enough were lost through childbirth alone to make surviving women extremely important to tribal (and therefore family) survival. At that time, the females chose the males to lead the tribe, not like a boss, but like a guide, like in Ape tribes. If the women didn't like what the lead male wanted to do, they simply paid attention to another male and that male became the leader. Call it 'instinctive voting' since it wasn't conceptualized. The tribe was always centered around the females.

Later, Hunting technology was discovered. It was primarily a male job, because of that male upper body strength allowed the use of clubs and spears to kill big animals. So the males hunted and the females and children gathered. (Not that the roles were so tightly divided in most tribes, but the distinction was there in every tribe I studied.) The result, socially over eons, was the Hunting Lodge, where the males would plan their hunts. This is the first indication of actual hierarchy. The oldest male, even if he was not currently able to hunt, was valued because he knew the strategies of the hunt better than anyone else. He was the Hunter Lodge Leader, and he carried a lot of social position. The oldest Hunters kept trophies to show his skills to those who came after, to the young brash new hunters who wondered why anyone listened to the old guy. (He killed THAT! OMG!)The expertise of the Hunter Leader meant success or not, and from this came coordination of a group for a specific purpose.

For a long time, supplanting the female leadership, the Hunter Lodge called much of the shots. As time went on, it used intimidation to take over the control of the tribe, making women into 'trophies', which is the basis of all economics and concepts of possession. Nature became the trophy of the Hunter Lodge Leader, because he controlled the hunt, and the hunters devalued the women's perspective and decided that there must be someone 'out there', a male, who looked after the Hunters and the Tribe. This was the basis of the male God figure.

Later, the women, in their gathering of tiny seeds, needed a way to carry them. So they invented baskets. When they put the seeds in, they would leak, and the next time the Tribe came through that area, they found the same plants growing closer to camp, along the trails they had made the year before. Then they started 'giving back' some of the seeds to Mother, finding that when they did, the food grew even closer than before. The soil around long time migration camps was particularly fertile, of course. They were 'manured' by the people who camped there. This process of learning about seeds and such went on for a great many generations.

Eventually, the problem with losing seeds through the baskets was solved by layering the inside with mud. When it dried, it made it leak proof, at least for tiny seeds and berrys, and at some time, a basket caught fire and created the first ceramics. Ceramics was arguably the most important technological discovery in human history, because it allowed farming. By making a pot, covering the top with leather, and burying it, the Tribe could store seed for the winter. This meant more children would survive the lean winter times in areas where going south was not possible. (mountain ranges, deserts, oceans, big rivers, etc) Some of the seed would rot, using up the available oxygen, and the bugs would die.

(It is likely that Leonardo Da Vinci types, on the edge of the Human bell curve of attributes, existed in almost all generations. So the discovery and use of technology probably was not a slow steady thing but a case of sudden discovery and applications by single individuals with new methods and technologies adopted because they were obviously more productive.)

The advantage of agriculture was obvious, and when people started planting seed in the Spring, and getting large crops of food which they could store, the Agricultural Revolution was underway.

Agriculture spread amazingly fast around the world. Tribes gave up hunting as the most important food source, and the Hunter Lodges had to accept the fact that growing food was better than hunting it. Their children were the best evidence they had to that amazing technology. So, in some tribes, the Hunter Lodge settled down. (The Hopi Tribe's Hunter Lodge, for instance, settled down and built Kivas, which no women could enter, but the females own the land and everything else. In the bottom of the Kiva was a ceramic jar with the seed corn for next year's crops.)

Tribes which accepted this huge change in philosophy tend to be peaceful, and not male dominated. Why? Because agriculture is very female based. The seed is pushed into the womb of the Earth, a plant is born, and gives itself up passively to become the people when eaten. The philosophy of the ancient female worldview was essentially proven even to the males.

But somewhere, dunno where, a Hunter Lodge Tribe had enough food and good environmental factors to remain Hunters. They did not accept the Agricultural Female worldview, and with so many tribes now stationary in rich growing lands, their response was to strengthen their Hunter Lodge philosophy and look down on the agricultural tribes as essentially 'prey'. Then, when the climage changed and the winters grew much worse, the Hunter Lodge was faced with major starvation. So their Leader declared that agricultural people were fair game... literally, fair game. Animals that ate grain like the game hunted by the tribes Hunter Lodge. (There has to be a first time for everything, and a single individual who made a decision.) So first they raided the Agro Tribes, then enslaved them. They were Hunters, and remained Hunters, if only in philosophy and definitions. They set up the first two tiered system, Hunters who no longer had to hunt on the top, and Agricultural people on the bottom, supplying them with whatever they wanted.

I will forgo the invention of money and all that. I'm writing a message, not a book. grin. Suffice it to say money came from military script, a way to control slaves.

I think the Owners are the ancient families that first started 'civilization' through enslaving the agricultural tribes, back after the Agricultural Revolution. I think when they destroyed the environment in one place, they moved on and started another civilization elsewhere. Since they had sex all over the place, I daresay most of us are related to them in the same way everyone is related to everyone else. But the identity of the Owners is along lineage, and there are likely far more of them than anyone imagines, although many of those people do not know it even as they reap the benefits of their family connections.

What they learned, back at the beginning when they were first trying to control the first slaves is a technology also, a technology called 'militaries', then 'politics', which included, once it was invented, 'economics'. The military is likely the closest thing to the primitive organization of the original Owners, and it remains the most powerful of all multi-generational subcultures. The technology of control of mass populations was well developed by the time of the Romans, but the fact that the Romans unwittingly poisoned their leadership showed that the brute force, hang a thousand people up on crosses in plain sight, kill every tenth man, etc, was not the best way to control the population. "To conquer, divide. To keep conquered, keep divided."

So many more ways of controlling people was invented and used, which leads to our present situation. We cannot survive the Owner's continuing control. But the only hope we have is to help them see why we cannot survive their Hunter philosophy. We must expand their minds.
