Well I have to say I was surprised not by the barmyness but the ordinaryness of most of what he says.

Something like their has been a group of powerful people who ran the Roman Empire, then European Monarchies then European Empires. He uses the term "Bloodlines" and it is true that heredity played a part.

But isn't he simply saying the ruling class ruled? When power was seated in the ownership of land they owned the land when industrialisation came they owned factories and then other peoples countries as empires. Now we have trans-global capitalism. And its owned and managed by people who are unaccountable who we don't know.

He has a go about George W Bush not really running the US. In the short term which is worse - that he does or that he doesn't?

As for Lizards? I can't be bothered.
