Yes, and I think you touched on Dr. Malone's point, that in their own (corrupted, deceived, mistaken) minds, they are doing the right thing. Kind of like Robert DeNiro.

I disagree. I am certain the elites know they are acting in the interests of the few - themselves, and don't see it as "right vs wrong". IMO, they see it is "us vs them" and "us" will consolidate power and wealth.

Central planning is the opposite of a free market economy. It is the opposite of a self organizing system. It is imposed by a hierachy, and relies on domination and subjugation. The tools used to impose central planning are propaganda and force. Look around. A protection racket has been created that feeds on the people under the guises of protecting them. Within this system rights of self defense are missing. These rights have been usurped by your "protectors".

Their interest happens to overlap with that of their perception of the common good, because, after all, someone has to sail the ship and others have to man the oars. Someone has to eat the figs and someone has to bring them.

I think DeNiro is just another puppet, running acared, because someone has some major dirt on him, which, if exposed, could put him in prison, or worse. His behavior regarding Trump is way beyond irrational, almost as if he doesnt do as he is told, he would pay a big price for defiance.

I have no proof of this, but its just a feeling i get listening to his intensely personal diatriabes about a man whom he probably knows near zero on a personal basis.

Don't buy it, although "way beyond irrational" yes. I think we have a man whose phone is not ringing due to a career in its death throes and an oversized ego that can't handle the silence. I think his emotion is genuine, as that of a lunatic, in a pathetic search for relevance and validation from his equally deranged peers.
