This is so that people won't recognise, or have time or money to fight the powerful. Distractions, so that people won't have time to learn or share the truth include entertainment, unnecessary work or education, and the deception that it is likely that people will make money, when the opposite is the case. Mergers, monopolies, the increasing wealth of the rich, and probably a rigged global crisis or supernatural event, is expected to result in a one world government. This diabolical global dictatorship, also predicted in the Bible, will be worse than any before, and it is very well planned and imminent. The powerful aim to destroy small businesses and disadvantage citizens by sending them bankrupt, and then claim their property and money.
Banks create money from nothing and demand it back, together with unnecessarily high interest.
Multinationals controlled by powerful and corrupt foreigners take our money for the essential or unnecessary goods and services that we use. They buy out property and assets for a bargain, once the business or area is destroyed, or governments sell a country's assets. The banks and multinationals may eventually merge together and then merge with the one world government, who will make sure almost no small businesses left to bypass their system. Probably almost the only ones selling will be multinationals, controlled by the one world government. Therefore the one world government will be in complete control over everyone.
