Thanks for bumping this, Bangalore. I've had a fascinating read through this whole thread, taking detours into Google along the way.
For a start, I'd never heard of the Georgia Guidestones till today. However, I had heard of the Bilderberg group.
My first reaction was surprise that no-one had mentioned John Twelve Hawks in this thread.
He's the author of The Traveller (OK, Traveler for all you Americans) and its two sequels. I haven't yet read the third, but leaving aside all the sci-fi elements of it (and what is sci-fi often these days other than prophecy)...leaving aside that, I have thought for a long time that he had it all exactly as life really is.
Undoubtedly the world is controlled, and famines etc manipulated, viz the unspeakable crime of agrochemical comapnies creating seeds that produce much better crops but...and here's the kick in the teeth...you can't sow any of the resulting seed next year. So all the poor subsistence farmers who used to save their seed are now in hock to a giant corporation. If that's not evil, I don't know what is.
