Some say that if we're used to the notion that the important and elite will require nice safe bunkers in which to sit out Armageddon whilst the rest of us burn, why is the thought that those same powerful people and their richest chums might quite like to engineer a situation in which the masses are increasingly controlled in order that they continue to enjoy their privileged existence? On a larger scale it's why rich/powerful people like to live in gated, secure estates isn't it? It's the reason they fight to get laws passed to make them more money, the reason they hide assets - to protect what they've got and hopefully acquire more because enough is never enough. With the world's poor and desperate increasingly on the move, is it unthinkable that the elite (whether as part of an organised group or as individuals) aren't getting just a tiny a bit scared that sooner or later their vast wealth and assets are going to come under direct threat. What better way to prevent the revolution than by stealth - a general eroding of rights etc. until the means are in place that, if/when required, the masses can be controlled. They'll not admit it, they'll even ensure that we're under the illusion we're better off when in fact we're not, but when things get messy they'll implement measures not to protect us but to protect themselves and what they've got. Some say the EU isn't about looking after the common man, it's a vehicle by which the elite can acquire and exercise more power. Of course they might really be just looking after us all because they're such nice people and it's not as though there's a million and one examples of rich, greedy, powerful people, companies and governments abusing their position...
