THE 10 CORPORATIONS THAT SECRETLY RULE THE WORLD

You — and I — are not as free as we would like to believe. Every one of our decisions has repercussions, and in modern-day society, it is nearly impossible to live without funding powerful corporations which are in possession of most of the world’s wealth.

It’s a sobering reality, one more people need to learn as time is running out for communities to regain control and become self-sufficient. Perhaps, by learning which corporations control the world through their influence and products, consumers may alter their spending and lifestyle habits to find true freedom — the kind not often experienced from within the system.

Following are the 10 corporations that secretly “rule the world”:

10) Nestlé

Nestlé owns over 8,500 different brands in 80 countries, including Gerber baby food, Perrier, DiGiorno, and Hot Pockets. It also owns Butterfinger and KitKat. Every year, the corporation rakes in $90 billion.

9) Lockheed Martin

Lockheed Martin’s global military expenditure is just over $1.7 trillion. As EducateInspireChange reports, it’s no wonder companies producing and supplying weapons exert such as huge amount of power over world events.

8) Quanta Computer Inc.

Do you own a Mac, Dell, HP, Sony, or Toshiba computer? All of these come from the same manufacturer: Quanta Computer Inc.

7) Inbev

Few people have heard of Inbev, but it’s a company to know. Inbev has a huge monopoly over the beer industry and has massive influence, as a result.

6) Pfizer

Pfizer — a U.S.-based global pharmaceutical corporation — makes $40 billion in profit. Every. Single. Year.

5) Pearson

Because the company has a monopoly over the education sector, it has been able to increase the prices of learning — and no one is able to stop them.

4) ICBC

The acronym stands for the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. The bank is state-owned, and is now of the most powerful banks on the planet.

3) Monsanto

The company responsible for glyphosate — which is proven carcinogen — specializes in agricultural biotechnology. It’s estimated worth is around $65 billion.

2) Disney

Kids and adults love Disney, so it probably shouldn’t come as a surprise that more than half of all highest grossing movies of the last decade are owned by Disney.  As a result, Disney has huge influence in the world.

1) Alphabet Inc

If you haven’t heard of this company, you’re not alone. But surprise, surprise, Alphabet Inc actually owns Google, making it one of the — if not the — most powerful company in the world.

THE TRUE REASON WHY SOME PEOPLE ALWAYS END UP IN NEGATIVE SCENARIOS

As a personal development coach, I frequently observe repetitive patterns among many clients. A person creates similar scenarios or gets similar results over and over in their lives and they don’t understand where is the problem. For instance, a man consistently finds himself with a partner who either departs or engages in unfaithful behavior, a new relationship – a similar outcome. Another person continues to attract individuals who mistreat her, despite her kind nature. Someone else consistently draws drama and negative interactions from friends, colleagues, and even strangers.

One of the biggest challenges in our own personal development journey is our inability to recognize our own patterns and behaviors. Often, we remain oblivious to them, or at best, possess only partial awareness. This is because many of these behaviors have become ingrained habits, influencing our lives for years, sometimes decades, until they become familiar. Occasionally, these patterns trace back to childhood, and we remain unaware of any alternatives. The reality is that many of our behaviors and patterns exert unseen influence on our lives. Consider, for instance, a father who continually criticizes his adult children. He believes they should already be married, pursuing “successful careers”, making money, and starting families. However, the children prefer to explore life’s possibilities, taking time to decide on their path. The father’s perspective taints his judgment, leading him to critique their actions and behaviors. This not only fails to elicit the desired changes but exacerbates the situation. The children resist criticism, feeling misunderstood and reluctant to follow the life he envisions for them. Unaware of the toxicity in his comments or the pain they cause, the father remains oblivious. Consequently, the children avoid confrontation, instead choosing to distance themselves. They visit the father less frequently and don’t call that often. The father is perplexed by their avoidance, failing to see that his behavior is the root cause. His willingness to impose his vision onto their lives rather than support their choices stems from selfishness. He might believe his perspective is superior, yet if it conflicts with their desires, it cannot be considered “better.”

One of my past clients approached me with the recurring problem of attracting individuals who disrespect, exploit, and undervalue her kindness. She recounted years of facing these situations, despite her inherently caring nature and consistent efforts to assist others. The pattern was clear to me, as I’ve encountered this dynamic in numerous people, even experiencing similar struggles myself in the past. The challenge lay in her tendency to readily agree to requests, prioritizing others over herself. Whether a family member sought a favor, even if contrary to her best interests, she feared refusing would diminish her likability, prompting her to comply. As the adage goes, one cannot pour from an empty cup; attending to our own needs precedes extending help to others. When we neglect self-care in favor of assisting others, an attraction pattern forms, inviting more such situations into our lives. Consequently, we attract individuals who perceive our kindness as standard and fail to appreciate it. Over time, this behavior establishes a background attraction pattern that persists even if we change friends, locations, or jobs.

Frequently, the unfolding of our lives mirrors our underlying patterns. For instance, a person with “chaotic energy” might repeatedly keep attracting scenarios that will reflect that.

We often perceive the world through our unique lens, frequently ignorant of our patterns and their impact on our lives.

If you end up in negative scenarios over and over and you don’t know what is causing it. Get in touch, send me an email and I will offer you a free initial coaching call for up to 30min.

HORSE PRETENDS TO BE DEAD EVERY TIME SOMEONE TRIES TO RIDE IT

Frasisco Zalasar, a horse trainer from Durango City, recently posted videos to his Facebook page showing a horse named Jingang attempting to play dead every time someone attempts to ride him.

Jingang6

It is not clear whether Frasisco was actually one of the trainers in the video, or if he was simply resharing a video that was sent to him.

Jingang4

Jingang5

The video showed numerous encounters where the animal threw itself to the ground when it was approached or mounted by a human.

Jingang8

One of the trainers in the video can be heard saying that the behavior is “cute but naughty.”

Jingang7

The video presented the scenes as the silly antics of defiant animal, and many of the comments on the video seemed to show amusement at what was happening.

Jingang2

However, when looked at from an animal rights perspective, it seems obvious that the horse is not just playing around, but legitimately wants to be left alone.

Jingang3

Animals are a part of our lives, sometimes as pets and others as co-workers, but there has to be a point where an animal can refuse service and exercise its own free will.  Watch the video and decide for yourself. Is this animal abuse, or is it just horsing around?

THIS MAN TURNED BEARS INTO HONEY TASTERS AFTER THEY KEPT TAKING HONEY FROM BEE HIVES

We know about bears and their love for honey. Just Google Winnie the Pooh and you can see how obsessed this cartoon bear is for honey. However, fiction is often carved out of real facts. Bears are known to be connoisseurs of honey. And their obsession is often a cause of concern for bee farmers. Bears are apex predators so bee farmers can’t just shoo them off from their grounds. And when a bear breaches a bee farm, you can be sure that they will wreak havoc, causing damages worth thousands.

Ibrahim Sedef lives in Turkey. Ibrahim Sedef is an agricultural engineer and he started a bee farm of his own. And like every other beekeeper, he struggled to keep pesky bears from harming his beehives. He put metal cages around beehives and placed treats like fruits and bears all around to lure bears away from beehives. But all his efforts went to vain.

As a scientist, he tried to observe the behavior of a bear and find out more about them. For this purpose, he installed photo trap cameras around his farm. But something else came to Ibrahim Sedef’s mind. Why not use bears as honey tasters?

It seemed like an unusual idea at first, but it was worth trying. And so, Sedef set up a table and placed four different kinds of honey on it. This table was for the bear or rather the honey taster. Well, it turns out the Sedef’s guess was right. Bears are actually amazing honey tasters and they have a premium tongue. He observed that bears were attracted to the Anzer honey and tasted it without touching the cheaper cherry blossom honey. Two pounds of Anzer honey costs over  $300. Well, the video that Sedef recorded went viral – it was such a strange new fact.

THE REAL REASON MUSIC HAS BECOME SO BAD IN RECENT YEARS

Have you found yourself noticing the decrease in the quality of music these days? We have gone from a complex symphony of instruments and lyrics from bands like The Beatles to construct a masterpiece like Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. To a very simple keyboard, drum machine and looper constructing just about every single in the charts. If you feel you are getting a little old and out of touch, don’t worry it is not your imagination. Music is getting progressively worse and this video outlines exactly why.

DIET COKE VS REGULAR COKE – WHICH ONE IS MORE UNHEALTHY?

We all know that drinking any type of cola is very unhealthy. Yet still many people like to enjoy a can from time to time. When it comes to the most popular brands, many believe that the “diet” version is actually a healthier option, but is it really?

Let’s examine some of the main differences.

  • Regular Coke: Regular Coca-Cola is sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup (in the United States) or sugar (in many other countries). It contains a significant amount of calories (about 140-150 calories per 12-ounce can) and a high amount of added sugar (approximately 39 grams per 12-ounce can).
  • Diet Coke: Diet Coke is a calorie-free beverage sweetened with artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame or sucralose. It does not contain any sugar or calories.

A couple of years ago a President of Coca-Cola Europe was questioned about astonishing amounts of sugar in some of their products:

Many sources claim that diet colas are as bad, if not worse than regular Coke,

Diet cola can raise blood glucose levels and blood insulin levels.

There is also growing concern that artificial sweeteners affect the good gut bacteria.

Aspartame which is added to Diet Coke to replace sugar or high-fructose corn syrup.

Some of the more known potential side effects of aspartame consumption include:

  1. Headaches and Migraines: Some people report experiencing headaches or migraines after consuming products containing aspartame.
  2. Allergic Reactions: In rare cases, individuals may be hypersensitive or allergic to aspartame, leading to symptoms such as hives, itching, and difficulty breathing.
  3. Gastrointestinal Distress: Aspartame consumption can sometimes lead to gastrointestinal symptoms such as gas, bloating, diarrhea, or an upset stomach in some individuals.
  4. Taste Alterations: Aspartame may affect the taste perception of some people, causing a metallic or bitter aftertaste in certain foods or beverages.
  5. Mood and Behavior Changes: Some studies have suggested a potential link between aspartame consumption and mood or behavior changes, but the evidence is not strong, and individual responses can vary widely.

Overall, most experts agree that regular coke is “healthier” option, if you can call it “healthy”.

SOMETHING INCREDIBLE HAPPENS WHEN YOU START THE FIBONACCI SEQUENCE WITH A 3

The fibonacci sequence is a number pattern which occurs when you start with 0 and 1, and continue to add the subsequent numbers. So-

0+1=1

1+1=2

1+2=3

2+3=5

3+5=8

And so on- so we are just adding the last 2 digits in the sequence. 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 and so on. What this does is (after the first few numbers in the sequence) is it creates a ratio close to 1.618- also known as the golden ratio.

This ratio can be witnessed in everything such as the human anatomy, plants, flowers, the universe itself and even successful companies are well known to use this ratio in the design of their products and logos. If god or your representation of what you would call a creator was a number, that number would be 1.618.

Now this article is not about the fibonacci sequence as we know it, there are hidden codes within this sequence that I will speak about in the future, but for this article I wanted to talk about if we start the sequence with 33.

3

3

6

9

15

24

39

63

So you may ask what is so magical about this sequence and the first clue starts with the number 33, as 33 is the start of this sequence. From a numerological standpoint 33 is incredibly powerful. 3 is mind, body and spirit, with 33 representing this in the physical and spiritual realm. 3+3 also makes 6 which is god or the creator. But what really triggered this code for me was the fact that we can derive the number sequence 3-6-9 from 33, as we have the obvious 3, but also 3+3 is 6 and 3×3 is 9. 3-6-9 represent ascension, which is the act of rising into an important position, but 3-6-9 has a lot more than just a spiritual meaning.

“If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have a key to the universe.” Nikola Tesla

Back to the fibonacci starting with 33- if we take the first 16 digits of the code we will see that something magica starts to happen-

3

3

6

9

15 1+5=6

24 2+4=6

39 3+9=12 1+2=3

63 6+3=9

Then the code starts again

102 1+0+2=3

165 1+6+5=12 1+2=3

267 2+6+7=15 1+5=6

432 4+3+2=9

699 6+9+9=24 2+4=6

1131 1+1+3+1=6

1830 1+8+3+0=12 1+2=3

2961 2+9+6+1=18 1+8=9

And this repeats infinitely with the code of

3

3

6

9

6

6

3

9

So all numbers within this code are 3, 6 or 9. Once you map out these 3 numbers on a 9 pointed grid like the one below you get part of a code and the shape of a triangle.

pasted image 0 4

The second part of the code being binary-

1

2

4

8

16 1+6=7

32 3+2=5

64 6+4=10 1+0=1

128 1+2+8=11 1+1=2

256 2+5+6=13 1+3=4

512 5+1+2=8

1024 1+0+2+4=7

2048 2+0+4+8=14 1+4=5

Again giving the infinite code of 1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5. The combination of these 2 codes is depicted in the work of Leonardo Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man. See image above. This is the code Tesla thought could be the solution to creating free energy.

If we look back at the fibonacci code starting with 3- the 12th number is 432. From an article from Collective Evolution “It is said that 432 Hz vibrates with the universe’s golden mean, Phi, and unifies the properties of light, time, space, matter, gravity, and magnetism with biology, the DNA code, and consciousness. When our atoms and DNA start to resonate in harmony with the spiralling pattern of nature, our sense of connection to nature is said to be magnified. The number 432 is also reflected in ratios of the sun, Earth, and moon, as well as the procession of the equinoxes, the Great Pyramid of Egypt, Stonehenge, and the Sri Yantra, among many other sacred sites.”

Fibonacci in itself is a magical sequence and the more you look into it the more it seems to give. Is there a divine blueprint embedded within our number code? I certainly feels that way! Would love to hear what you think on the matter lukemiller@truththeory.com

WHAT ARE THE CHEAPEST AND NICEST PLACES TO LIVE IN THE WORLD?

All of us want to live in a place that is light on the pocket. However, even though such places are a dime a dozen, very few of them are safe or nice enough to reside in. As a result, the cheapest but nicest place to live in is ideally a combination of two indexes: global peace, and the cost of living. The best regions that are near the top in both indexes are South/Central America, Asia, and Europe.

Here are the 6 cheapest but Nicest Places to live in the world:

PORTUGAL

The economy of this Mediterranean country took a beating over the past few years. This meant that prices are nearly half that of other major European countries like France and the United Kingdom. On top of that, Portugal has stunning beaches, a warm climate, and seafood that is always fresh. Portugal has some of Europe’s most reputed facilities while also being safe. Ranked 4th on the Global Peace Index, it is one of the safest places to live in as well.

VIETNAM

Vietnam’s offerings are diverse. From bustling markets to peaceful Buddhist pagodas, and from beaches to mountains, and everything in between, all of it can be found in Vietnam. Ranked 50th on the Global Peace Index, residents can live comfortably on a mere $1000 monthly budget. The top job for foreigners in Vietnam is being an English teacher. If people apply through the correct job placements and have right qualifications, then a monthly wage of $2000 is easy to get.

URUGUAY

A country in South America that ranks just below Vietnam in the Global Peace Index (47th) is Uruguay. The 2nd smallest country in South America is a blast of culture – from the Carnaval to the tango on the streets. As for places to visit, it is filled with architectural remnants from when it was a colony as well as a lot of beaches to spend your off days on. Moreover, it is one of Latin America’s safest countries to live in while also offering reasonable rents. This country also has a strong demand for English teachers that have TEFL certification.

MALAYSIA

Malaysia is not just a tourist destination. It is also one of the cheapest and nicest places to live in. Its climate, friendly people, a low rate of crime, as well as cheap living expenses all combine to make it one of the best places to permanently live in. Moreover, English is the unofficial first language of the country which makes the language barrier a minor problem. Even in bigger cities such as Penang, the monthly living expenses of a couple will not exceed $1500. One just has to be in touch with the locals.

ECUADOR

The South American country’s weather is almost always spring-like. It also has extensive public transportation which means one does not need cars. For only $500, people can also get a condo with a beautiful view too. Moreover, the country already has a very closely-knit community of expatriates. There are a host of hikes, art classes, trivia, dinner clubs, and games to take part in to spend your off time. If one lives frugally, monthly costs should be well under $1000, even including household help.

SPAIN

26573906 l

For our final recommendation, we return to Europe for its high standards of living. The cost here is comparatively higher than the rest on this list. But it is still much less than in countries like the United States. A little knowledge of Spanish is recommended to live comfortably in an area that is not frequented by tourists. However, the first-world residents will not have to sacrifice any of the amenities they are used to. Living costs are modest: in Madrid, one can get by spending $2000 per month.

YES, WALT DISNEY WAS A “SNITCH” FOR THE FBI AND MANY PEOPLE DON’T KNOW ABOUT IT

Walt Disney was one of the most influential people in the history of cinema as well as in the public imagination of American citizens.

Walt Disney was well known for his sentimental populism and had major contributions to shape up his image as an enterprising innovator. He was the one to pass on Disney’s legacy for further centuries.

Keeping these things aside, Walt Disney was also a large political figure whose actions hurt the livelihoods and lives of several people, who had different beliefs.

It was found out that Disney was a spy for the FBI, from 1940 till his death, and supplied information about his workers to the Bureau. He also manage to wreck the movements that were orchestrated by unions by tagging them as “communist agitators”.

The reports are available on the Bureau’s website which gave details about Walt Disney’s exchanges with the FBI. These had been released to the public after the Freedom of Information Act was passed and as per these reports, Disney actively expressed his admiration for the insidious machinations of the FBI and even let FBI director J. Edgar Hoover make creative decisions about some of the projects.

WHAT WAS WALT DISNEY’S REWARD IN THIS CO-OPERATION?

Walt Disney got various favors from the Bureau which included protection and other political advantages and was also allowed to shoot a film in the Bureau’s headquarters.

Walt Disney provided such valuable intel that he was made ‘Special Agent in Charge Contact’ by the FBI in 1954, signifying that Disney was an individual who was capable of providing resources to the FBI and taking care of PR issues as well.

It should be kept in mind that the political atmosphere of this era was quite volatile, due to the Red Scare and Senator McCarthy.

Walt Disney was actually too shrewd in this matter and utilized these attitudes to his advantage and made sure that his services to the FBI helped his own business.

Walt Disney once said: “Once a man has tasted freedom he will never be content to be a slave. That is why I believe that this frightfulness we see everywhere today is only temporary. Tomorrow will be better as long as America keeps alive the ideals of freedom and a better life. All men will want to be free and share our way of life. There must be so much that I should have said, but haven’t. What I will say now is just what most of us are probably thinking every day. I thank God and America for the right to live and raise my family under the flag of tolerance, democracy, and freedom.”

Disney showed this face to the common public but was a tyrant to his labor unions and political alliances.

In July 1941, the animators at Disney went on a strike to protest unfair working conditions and Walt Disney immediately utilized the opportunity to run an advertisement in Variety where he said: “I am positively convinced that Communistic agitation, leadership, and activities have brought about this strike.”

Disney later testified that several of the named animators in the strikes were communists. This made it crystal clear that Disney was ready to utilize his connections to achieve his goals. The FBI also played a role in the establishment of Disneyland which was used by the Bureau for their own operations.

HELP US TO CREATE MORE CONTENT, JOIN US ON PATREON

The document that was released stated:

“Mr. Disney has recently established a business association with the American Broadcasting Company-Paramount Theatres Inc. for the production of a series of television shows, which for the most part are scheduled to be filmed at Disneyland, a multi-million dollar amusement park being established under Mr. Disney’s direction in the vicinity of Anaheim, Calif. Mr. Disney has volunteered representatives of this office complete access to the facilities of Disneyland for use in connection with official matters and for recreational purposes.”

Walt Disney was not the only spy in Hollywood. Other examples included Ronald Reagen, who supplied intel to the FBI about colleagues who harbored communist sympathies.
