Peter Phillips: The Global Power Elite constitutes 6,000 to 7,000 people, or 0.0001 percent of the world's population. They are the Davos-attending, Gulfstream/ private jet-flying, megacorporation-interlocked, policy-building elites of the world-people at the absolute peak of the global power pyramid. These are the people setting the agendas at the G8, (now the G7 after the exclusion of Russia), G20, NATO, the World Bank, and the WTO. They are from the highest levels of finance capital, transnational corporations, the government, the military, the academy, nongovernmental organizations, spiritual leaders, and even shadow elites. They represent the interests of several hundred thousand millionaires and billionaires who comprise the richest people in the top 1 percent of the world's wealth hierarchy. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
