Controligarchs, Exposing the billionaire class, There secret deals, and the 
Globalist plot to dominate your life
Seamus Bruner
2023
It’s been a while since I first began looking for a good book to read about what many would consider a ‘conspiracy.’ When the COVID-19 virus resulted in the lockdown of whole economies, many of these ‘conspiracies’ took on a life of their own. A conspiracy is defined as believing a tiny cabal controls the world and pulls its strings. Whilst this may be considered the area of fringe groups, numerous surveys and polls show this is a much more mainstream view then an area for a tiny marginalised few.
In this book, investigative journalist Seamus Bruner, who led the teams whose findings sparked multiple FBI investigations and congressional probes into the Clintons and the Bidens, exposes the billionaires who control the levers of power that dominate every aspect of your life. Based on a mountain of financial filings, insider documents, and corporate records, Bruner rips back the curtain on never-before-published revelations about the life-altering schemes that globalist elites have in store for the world.
In this titanic book that has 167 pages of notes, Bruner reveals shocking evidence that shows the world’s ultrawealthy’s sinister agenda is well on its way to becoming reality. He outlines their investments into eugenics research that will allow them to predetermine their children’s traits, creating a new caste system in which the ultra wealthy are able to hack their own biology to become superhuman. He exposes the billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded crony stimulus and other forms of inflation-inducing corporate welfare that has allowed this tiny elite faction to add trillions of dollars to their collective holdings. Bruner doesn’t just name the individuals who have a globalist agenda, but he outlines their tactics, strategy and the institutions they have established to achieve their utopia.
Bruner coined a term for these powerful men and women – Controligarchs. This is a portmanteau of control and oligarchy. An oligarchy is a system run by the ultrawealthy few. It is an inherently antidemocratic system. But today’s oligarchs are a new breed of philanthropists, entrepreneurs, and tech titans seeking to impose an unprecedented system of control not only in the US, but around the world. While they would like everyone to believe they are innovating for the better, people such as Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk are creating technology and making investments that will micromanage every aspect of your life. The Controligarchs share an ambition to reshape the world, and their wealth gives them the influence to do it.
Bruner sets out straight away that the agenda of these Controligarchs is not merely economic. It’s not purely about accumulating untold riches for themselves at the expense of the world. They have already achieved this and have more money than they know what to do with it. Their globalist agenda is about control and about deciding how the world should be and how you should be living your life. Their ideal world is one in which you own nothing and rent everything. Most of the protein in your diet comes from bugs. You are not allowed to have more than one child, and your financial and medical data are instantly transferred to a centralised government database via a subdermal microchip. This is the world they want to create. Because they believe they know what’s best for the world.
Over ten chapters Bruner outlines the different aspects of the globalist agenda that are intended to create a dystopian world much like the one seen in the Hunger Games Hollywood blockbuster. Bruner shows that this is not some new modern agenda but something that’s been in the works for over a century.

The Rockefeller Model
Bruner spends the first chapter called the ‘good club’ looking at the rise and exploits of the Rockefeller family because for him the modern characters that want to control your life are all descendants of John D. Rockefeller, the American oil tycoon and probably the richest man in history. The story of how the Rockefellers became the greatest influencers in global health policy, and the central planners of pandemic responses, spans over a century. For Bruner to say that the Rockefeller family helped build the modern world would be an understatement. From energy to finance to education to public health to computing, the Rockefellers have had a hand in developing every major field and industry. While other dynastic billionaire families—such as the Fords, Vanderbilts, and Carnegies—amassed fortunes, none have been able to maintain their power and prominence across generations as have the Rockefellers, who are still one of the world’s most powerful families in their seventh generation.
At the end of the 19th century, John D Rockefeller conquered America’s oil industry by creating one of the largest monopolies in American history: Standard Oil Company. In less than two decades, Standard Oil achieved control of more than 95% of the US petroleum industry. The Rockefeller patriarch believed that his ability to get rich was his divine purpose. “I believe the power to make money is a gift from God. Having been endowed with the gift I possess, I believe it is my duty to make money and still more money and to use the money I make for the good of my fellow-man according to the dictates of my conscience.”[1]
At his ultra wealthy peak in the early 1900s Rockefeller Senior’s ruthlessness and methods began to mount. Public’s opinion of the family turned to scepticism and eventually to ire. The US Congress took notice of The Standard’s monopolistic practices and federal investigations began targeting The Standard for anti competitive tactics.
The solution Rockefeller Senior came up with his advisors was to form a series of great corporate philanthropies for forwarding civilization in all its elements in this land and all lands; philanthropies, if possible, limitless in time and amount, broad in scope, and self-perpetuating.
The Rockefellers philanthropy began with public health. Founded in 1901, the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (RIMR, which later became Rockefeller University) would become the headquarters for the Rockefellers’ biomedical empire. Within a decade, RIMR became the leading incubator of infectious disease research and trained the world’s top virologists. For all of human history natural and herbal medicine was how illnesses and diseases were administered. But with the Rockefellers going into public health they used their money to identify what chemicals could be effective and then create drugs that could be created in a lab and patented.
The power that came with trying to heal sick people was only the beginning. Trying to control microscopic organisms and meddling with the genetics of plants and insects was very clever, but the Rockefeller foray into medical research, particularly the areas of genetic and biomedical engineering, kicked off a dark era in American history of modifying and ultimately controlling the genetics of humans.

From this eugenics research emerged the Rockefeller population control research. The Rockefellers established and funded numerous organisations well before Roe v. Wade legalised abortions in the US in 1973. These focused on preventing the “unfit” from breeding—which included black babies, babies born into poverty, and the disabled—by providing and promoting contraceptives and sterilisation. This push to control world population is what led to Rockefeller-backed organisations promoting sex research, including the Kinsey Scale—which asserted that human sexuality is largely nonbinary—and the concept of gender fluidity. In the 1960s, the Rockefellers’ Population Council proposed advancing alternative sexual preferences to “reduce fertility.” The resultant “transgenderism” has arguably become a social contagion today.
After pushing alarmist theories of overpopulation leading to resource depletion, the Rockefellers gave the Rockefeller “Public Service Award” to Marion King Hubbert for his “peak oil” theory that argued oil production would peak in the early 1970s and then decline. Whilst the theory ultimately proved false the Rockefellers began their transition based on climate change.
Since then numerous theories of catastrophic anthropogenic (human-caused) climate change continue to be propagated. But according to Bruner, each of the predictions of climate doom in the last half century have been wrong, from the population bomb (running out of resources) in the 1960s to global cooling in the 1970s and 1980s to holes in the ozone layer in the 1980s and 1990s to global warming and sea level rise through the 2000s, or have at least been dramatically revised. When predictions have failed to materialise, climate scientists have walked back the predictions and the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has recast its data on more than one occasion.
The Rockefeller method, perfected over a century, has a clear process. They enter an industry, develop a new technology, which they will in time patent. They will then publish research, using one of their foundations, about a problem in the world. They will then publicise their technology or solution to the problem their research says exists. Patent the tech for the solution and then finally establish an institution that will deal with the problem with their solution for the foreseeable future. The two areas the Rockefellers and their fellow Controligarchs have spent incalculable sums according to Bruner has been in the area of population control and the climate catastrophe. Their efforts have been wildly successful.
But according to Bruner, each of the predictions of climate doom in the last half century have been wrong, from the population bomb (running out of resources) in the 1960s to global cooling in the 1970s and 1980s to holes in the ozone layer in the 1980s and 1990s to global warming and sea level rise through the 2000s, or have at least been dramatically revised.
The Gates of Hell
Bruner dedicates a whole chapter to Bill Gates and the apocalyptic predictions of a pandemic and the one that did arrive in 2020. The biggest advocate for the likelihood of a pandemic and the need to prepare for one has been billionaire tech tycoon Bill Gates. He became one of the most polarising figures on the planet. To some, he is revered as the benevolent billionaire hero working tirelessly to help humanity. To others, he is reviled as the world’s foremost villain—the face of a “Plandemic.” Some believe that Gates planned COVID based on his prior pandemic predictions and his foundation’s financial interests in viruses and vaccines. But where COVID came from, whether from a Chinese lab or nature, according to Bruner, matters less than how it was handled. As he believes the response caused more devastation than the disease. Bruner firmly believes and proves that the Controligarchs, led by Gates, planned for a pandemic, and they were well positioned to benefit from one.
Bruner outlines how Bill Gates comes from a long line of rich and powerful men and women who set him up for success, not the nerd who did all nighters inventing software in his parents garage. Bruner shows that Bill Gates’ story is a not so glamorous tale dominated by his father who was a prominent corporate attorney in Seattle who was the true brains behind Bill Gates junior. Gates Sr. was directly responsible not only for the rise of Microsoft but also for the rise of other Seattle-based mega corporations, such as Amazon and Starbucks.
Bruner explains that time and time again Bill Gates tries to take credit for new innovations. But Microsoft and other innovations were almost entirely built by other developers that he or his father had hired, and the elder Bill played the primary role securing the younger Bill’s early tech deals and steering his businesses toward success.

Bill Gates set up his foundation in the 1990s amid Microsoft’s antitrust controversy—much like the Rockefellers in similar circumstances. Bill Gates shifted from software to the pandemic preparedness industry. Over the next two decades, Gates extended his influence over the industry by donating to an increasing number of pandemic-related NGOs, initiatives, and Big Pharma companies (like the WHO, the global vaccine alliance [Gavi], and Pfizer, respectively).
Gates had for long screamed that a global pandemic was coming, and his foundation, the largest private charity in the world, had been laser focused on pathogens since its founding decades prior, during the Clinton administration. Over nearly two decades, starting in 2000, Gates funnelled more than $10 billion into various vaccination and antivirus efforts, including the tens of millions that he had invested in messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology. He called this eleven-figure outlay the “best investment” he had ever made due to a clever accounting trick that estimated a staggering $200 billion return in ill-defined “social and economic benefits.”
Vaccinate, vaccinate, vaccinate was Gates’s mantra even before the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the coronavirus a global pandemic. In a 2010 TED Talk, Gates succinctly explained his rationale for funding vaccines: “The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s headed up to about 9 billion,” Gates warned. “Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by, perhaps, ten or fifteen percent.” Gates and his foundation had been working on vaccines for two decades and even carried out pandemic simulations. The October 2019 Event 201 pandemic simulation, which Johns Hopkins conducted in partnership with the WEF and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, showed deaths would be high. The novel coronavirus used in the exercise bore uncanny resemblance to the SARS-CoV-2. The virus that would officially begin its march across the world just weeks later.
Due to these reasons Bruner believes when the COVID crisis began in 2020, Gates was ahead of the curve. In an early and widely circulated dispatch, Gates laid out the path forward: treatments, vaccines, testing, contact tracing, and “policies for opening up.” In addition, his unofficial partnership with Dr. Anthony Fauci and the partnerships he had cultivated with other disease experts. They all repeatedly warned that a pandemic was an impending threat. In addition to becoming the largest individual funder of the WHO, Gates had dumped at least $3.1 billion into various programs run by Dr. Fauci.
The World Economic Forum’s Great Reset
The World Economic Forum (WEF) and its leader Klaus Schwab are now household names, but prior to the Pandemic in 2020 they were not known to the public, although both have long been well known by thought leaders in various fields as well as heads of state, diplomats, leading scientists, and other technocrats. Bruner dedicates a whole chapter to the WEF and its great reset agenda.
Bruner believes The WEF is an institute that represents in an informal manner a non-political, multinational group of scientists, intellectuals, educators, and business leaders deeply concerned with solving global issues that confront mankind. It was established by the Rockefellers and according to Bruner is the most secretive but influential billionaire boys clubs ever.
Bruner believes the forum’s manifesto reads like a technocratic manifesto on how to achieve world domination by identifying terrifying existential problems, garnering reactions to those problems, and then offering the solutions to the world they have identified and hyped. For many of the WEF members humanity has become too advanced for its own good. Mankind has accumulated “extraordinary technological capital” but has failed to adopt a “global view” that would lead to “policies requisite to an interdependent world.” In other words, overpopulation and pollution are too big for any one country to solve on its own and, therefore, humanity needs a global governance structure if it wants to survive.
The WEF has published many eerie reports strategising how to unite world governments around various global ills. After decades of highlighting the Rockefeller identified problems of climate change and overpopulation, in 2021 the WEF began to prepare for a “Great Reset.” According to Bruner, its purpose is to usher in a new era of elitist authoritarian rule around the world. All that the WEF needed was the right crisis to exploit.

Klaus Schwab rose to prominence during COVID-19 as head of the WEF and through his launching of the Great Reset in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Schwab, born to Eugen Wilhelm Schwab who was the director of a Swiss company that was a major supplier to the Nazi war effort. Klaus was too young for involvement in Hitler’s regime but his career took off in 1967, when he joined the management board of Sulzer-Escher Wyss AG, a merged successor entity of the Nazi wartime supplier where his father worked. It was here he wrote his first book: a manifesto on modern management techniques in mechanical engineering. The book, amongst other things, laid out the earliest version of Schwab’s “stakeholder economy,” which is the first pillar of the Great Reset. This theory contends that companies should be responsible not solely to shareholders but rather to an amorphous group of “stakeholders.”
Schwab created the Davos forum in 1971 to promote his stakeholder theory. In time it would become the World Economic Forum (WEF) and in 2020 he would launch the Great Reset which was the culmination of 50 years of his work. During this time he had gained the support of the Trilateral Commission, the Good Club, the Bilderberg Group, the Council on foreign relations and the Club of Rome.
Schwab identified at least five major opportunities that COVID presented to the world. First, the world could redefine the social contract to be “more inclusive.” Second, the pandemic could be used to “decarbonise the economy.” Third, “everything that can be digitalised must be digitalised” under the “Fourth Industrial Revolution.” Fourth, companies could use the pandemic to rethink their profit motive and transition to a new system he called “stakeholder capitalism.” And finally, the Great Reset meant more global cooperation or “global governance.” To his audience and those paying close attention, the tenets of Schwab’s Great Reset had a ring of familiarity. That is because the WEF and its affiliated organisations, such as the United Nations and the Club of Rome, had been sounding such themes for years.
From Animals to Bugs
Bruner believes the Controligarchs are in a war with farmers, which is the name of a whole chapter. Bruner outlines that the Controligarchs insist that humanity had little chance of surviving unless it embraced the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations and the WEF, which would allow the world to avoid climate crisis if implemented by the target year of 2030.
So when in June 2022 the Dutch government implemented its plan to cut agriculture emissions by as much as 70 percent before 2030, agriculture workers erupted into widespread protests that wreaked havoc on the country’s infrastructure. The Dutch farmers stopped deliveries to grocery stores and formed tractor convoys that stretched for miles, using hay bales and other objects to gridlock highways. Dairymen brought their cows to government buildings, threatening to slaughter the livestock in front of parliament, while others flung cow manure at the minister of agriculture’s private residence.
According to Bruner the food of the future is already patented. The takeover of the food system, like so many other control schemes, began with the Rockefellers and was advanced by Bill Gates. As with most of their monopolies—from oil to software and eventually to biotechnology—Controligarchs secure increasing amounts of control over the intellectual property of food production through trademarks, copyrights, and patents.
Food production (on any scale) used to be relatively simple: farmers grow crops and raise livestock in family owned farms. But Decades ago, starting in the 1940s, the Rockefellers initiated a project called the “Green Revolution” to respond to the very real crises of poverty and starvation. The agricultural advances made possible by Rockefeller funded research and design helped to feed millions of starving people. But the side effects also poisoned both people and resources (such as soil and water). Crucially, the Green Revolution upended mankind’s most ancient vocation—working the land—and created a new system of corporate controlled farming that made independent farmers dependent on multinational corporations for genetically modified organisms (GMOs),
Bruner outlines that Bill Gates has been making significant investments into artificial dairy, eggs and artificial breast milk. But as consumers grew wise to the effects of artificial growth hormones in dairy products, grocery stores began selling “hormone free” options. Bill Gates remains the leading investor into alternative proteins—including things like edible insects and lab-grown “meats.” A number of other billionaires have also been working to bring lab-grown meats to market as well. They’re all making major investments in alternative foods which will no longer need farming but labs and will artificially grow food for people to consume.
Creating a Cashless World
In 2020 Klaus Schwab announced with his Davos cronies—including the heads of some of the largest financial institutions in the world, such as BlackRock about a new system of financial control by eliminating cash and instituting a centralised digital currency system. “The world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions,” Schwab wrote in a WEF blog post.
Most countries around the world have central banks that issue physical currency (i.e., cash). That cash is stored in private banks that allow for account holders to make electronic payments and electronic transfers. A central bank digital currency (CBDC) works much like electronic payments with physical currencies. The difference, however, is that if a central bank transitions to a CBDC and stops issuing physical currency, that society essentially becomes “cashless.”
Bruner asks if the current global financial system, which is built upon an exchange network of national currencies backed by their respective governments, seems to work well. Why would one central entity need to control currency? The reason, as with many other Controligarch schemes, is that a centralised digital currency also is put forward as the solution to many nonfinancial problems— from climate change to cyberattacks to the rise of so-called disinformation.

A cashless society presents several problems and concerns. The biggest threats that CBDCs and “going cashless” pose to freedom is that purchasers’ privacy evaporates, surveillance (and social engineering) by authoritarians can surge, and the ability to financially “cancel” (or “de-bank”) an entity or individual can become widespread.
Bruner explains that the global central banks like the Federal Reserve are effectively owned and controlled by well-known financial titans such as BlackRock, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and Bank of America. These big institutions, “member banks”, were established and set up a long time ago by dynastic families from the Morgan’s in the US to the Rothchild’s in Europe. These organisations effectively decide how money is created and retracted via complex policies dealing with currency issuance and interest rates. All of these entities and even some lesser-known behemoths like the Vanguard Group and State Street Corporation—which along with BlackRock manage a staggering $22 trillion—have the power to affect or control the financial well-being of almost everyone.
Bruner dedicates a full chapter on how censorship is being used to crowd out alternative opinions and even criticism of the mainstream. He also dedicates a chapter to the dystopia the Controligarchs would like to establish which is much like China and the way the communist party controls its large population. He also shows that despite the Cold War and the criticism of communism the Controligarchs actually envision a communist system where everything is centrally controlled.
Bruner presents a fascinating picture of the very open plans the world’s richest have, their vision and methods and how they believe everyone should live. He covers all the key areas from finance, censorship, economics and the various global apocalypse we regularly hear about. Bruner shows where the money is going, what policies are being prepared and how many global problems are being marketed. Bruner’s chapter on the Rockefellers provides a brilliant insight into how this family through its institutes, foundations and partners has not just survived but pushed a number of theories from climate change to overpopulation to shape global perceptions. The only criticism I would have is that there are other dynastic families that have played a major role in shaping the world, such as the Rothschilds that created the financial world we have today and funded many nations and ventures that have made the world what it is. This likely would lengthen his book and I would suspect to keep the book relevant to recent history his work begins with the Rockefellers. Bruner backs up all his views and opinions with mountains of research making this book a good place to start to make sense of the plans of the world’s ultrarich.
