Forbes 2014 List of Worlds Most Powerful People
page: 1share:
The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.
Here is Forbes annual list of the most powerful people in the world. Some I agree with and some I disagree with. I'd include the Dalai Lama because of his dealings with China and I'd remove Obama all together and instead put Valerie Jarrett in somewhere in the teens. I'd also remove Bloomberg. I wonder how SOROS feels being left off the list? It probably fits in with his agenda - flying under the radar while attempting to control the planet. I agree with Putin being in the #1 power slot. No question. Not good or bad power ... but just power.
1. VLADIMIR PUTIN — Russia
2. BARACK OBAMA — United States
3. XI JINPING — China
4. POPE FRANCIS — Roman Catholic Church
5. ANGELA MERKEL — Germany
6. JANET YELLEN — Washington, United States
7. BILL GATES — Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
8. MARIO DRAGHI — European Central Bank
9. SERGEY BRIN — Google
10. DAVID CAMERON — United Kingdom
11. ABDULLAH BIN ABDUL AZIZ AL SAUD — Saudi Arabia
12. WARREN BUFFETT — Berkshire Hathaway
13. LI KEQIANG — China
14. CARLOS SLIM HELU & FAMILY — América Móvil
15. NARENDRA MODI — India
16. JEFF BEZOS — Amazon.com
17. FRANCOIS HOLLANDE — France
18. JAMIE DIMON — JPMorgan Chase
19. ALI HOSEINI-KHAMENEI — Iran
20. REX TILLERSON — Exxon Mobil
21. JEFFREY IMMELT — General Electric
22. MARK ZUCKERBERG — Facebook
23. MICHAEL BLOOMBERG — Bloomberg

Although, the list would just be different next year.

Too many business people on the list
They are the power in the world.
The real powers are the Bilderbergs.

That list is skewed. Or who's who? Because just because they are at the head of or presiding over countries or religions makes them figureheads in my mind. If its a popular list then Kim Kardashian and Anderson Cooper should be on this list.
Once Obama or the Pope step down from their perches they will become nobodies…

There you go. They and the Rockefeller types aren't even on the list. Where'ver the most money flows to and gathers the most is the pinacle of power. Because the wealthiest use the threat of the most money to get their way. Theres where the most power lay.
The lists should be the most popular, the most threatening and the biggest asshole of the world club.

Part of it is the office they hold and the effect they are having on their countries (members of religion) and others around them.
I find it somewhat interesting that a lot of the spots are held by Americans. But I do agree Putin should be at the top spot, nobody wants to mess with him right now.

Mmm… has the Catholic church or US policy changed much from one "presider" to the next, though?
Of course these institutions would like us to believe they are "leading", in charge or chief executive, so rags like Forbes have to tow the Status Quo. This maintains the illusion and covers for the real people in charge behind the scenes.
Pure propaganda. The mightiest military, (the big stick) and the wealthiest make the decisions that effect the most people, regardless of borders or National Sovereignty.
It takes a lot of money to move whole armies, kill millions, destroy countries, raising their cities and creating tens of millions of refugees in the bid for World Domination.
Connect up them dots and you got the real list.

meaningless list is meaningless.
lists none of the people that SHOULD be on it and the order is an out and out joke.
those that wield real influence the names of some have been mentioned by others
are never going to be published in a form like this.
those mentioned are already public and perceived to have power so no issues listing them
and the order will keep the less informed debating the list order for weeks.

In May of 2009, a secret meeting of billionaire philanthropists took place in which they sought to coordinate how to “address” the world’s environmental, social, and industrial threats. Each billionaire at the meeting was given 15 minutes to discuss their “preferred” cause, and then they deliberated to create an “umbrella” cause to harness all their interests. The end result was that the umbrella cause for which the billionaires would aim to “give to” was population control, which “would be tackled as a potentially disastrous environmental, social and industrial threat.” Among those present at the meeting were David Rockefeller, Jr., George Soros, Warren Buffet, Michael Bloomberg, Ted Turner, Bill Gates, and even Oprah Winfrey.35

Well lookie here who the new kid on the block that was invited to the 2009 secret meeting, Oprah, the poor girl who made it rich now gets to help decide the worlds fate. Why isn't she on the list? It's amazing what money does to a person.
