They are, that is exactly correct. To answer the question, why are the 'elites' the way they are - stupid, evil, and insane, is because they adhere in secret to an ancient religion, whose tenets are all about those things. We may call it Luciferianism, but it was hatched from the Sons of Belial, and is essentially the same thing.Posted by Kuperkai (here)

Every connection, every single rancid thread of darkness, evil, and corruption in today's modern world leads back to Atlantis, and the dark powers that destroyed it - the Sons of Belial. Why do you think they're so obsessed with keeping the truth of Atlantis hidden? So long as it's forgotten we are none the wiser. It also leaves the way open for them to obtain and secure (in secret for themselves) that which they desire the most. The Hall of Records.
