> [@Kozmik](#): > > For the same reason that it is important that the President of the United States represents 100% of the people. But Presidents are satisfied if they have the support of 51% of the people. There’s never been a President who said: “If this doesn’t have the support of 100% of the American people, I’m not going to do it.” However, it seems that you think that the Illuminati won’t bother with a meeting involving 98% of the world’s leaders. This still makes no sense to me why the Illuminati are such attention whores that they won’t even show up to a meeting they called unless everyone is in attendance. Holy shit, I just realized: Lindsey Lohan must be part of the Illuminati! > [@](#): > > Yes, the world leaders would surrender their collective power to the Illuminati. > > Omnipotent. So the Illuminati are omnipotent, but every country hasn’t yet surrendered their power to the Illuminati? That doesn’t seem like any omnipotence I know of. Does this mean that if the G-192 happened, that meeting would be like the defining event that ushers in a new world order, or something like that? ---

You do not have a strong enough grasp of politics, economics or history to even recognize what nonsense it is, and you therefore have no conception of what our objections are. You do not even understand the fields enough to create a consistent fantasy. ---
