In 2003, Jamie Johnson, the son of billionaires and one of the heirs to the Johnson & Johnson fortune, produced a documentary about what it was like to grow up in the United States as a child of billionaires, where one has so much inherited wealth, that you never have to work, and how one can find meaning in life since money can't buy everything.

The name of the film is “Born Rich“, and the other children of billionaires who were included in the documentary are:

  • Georgina Bloomberg — born to New York City mayor and media mogul, Michael Bloomberg.
  • Ivanka Trump — born to real estate tycoon and 45th US President, Donald Trump, son of real estate developer Fred Trump.
  • Stephanie Ercklentz — born to socialite Mai Harrison and New York corporate lawyer, Enno W. Ercklentz Jr., son of banker and industrialist Enno W. Ercklentz Sr.
  • Christina Floyd — born to golf champion, Raymond Floyd.
  • Cody Franchetti — an Italian baron and Milliken textiles heir, born to actress Angelica Ippolito and Baron Andrea Franchetti, son of Baron Mario Franchetti and American heiress Anne Milliken.
  • Juliet Hartford — born to model Diane Brown and A&P heir, Huntington Hartford, grandson of a principal founder of A&P, George Huntington Hartford.
  • Josiah Cheston Hornblower — a Vanderbilt / Whitney heir born to Alexandra Thorne, daughter of Whitney Tower, a grandson of Gertrude Vanderbilt and Harry Payne Whitney.
  • S.I. Newhouse IV — born to Condé Nast publishing heir, Samuel Irving Newhouse III, son of Samuel Irving Newhouse Jr.
  • Benjamin Luke Weil — son of Scientific Games Corporation Chairman & CEO, A. Lorne Weil.
  • Carlo von Zeitschel — Kaiser Wilhelm II's great-grandson who is both a German baron and an Italian viscount.
  • While this is an interesting documentary, and there are several copies on YouTube where you can watch it for free, it is what Born Rich did for Jamie Johnson that led to his second documentary published in 2006 titled The One Percent, that is far more interesting.

    The One Percent documentary is very critical of the rich, from an insider perspective by the great grandson of Robert Wood Johnson I, co-founder of Johnson and Johnson.

    Because Jamie Johnson was an insider into the world of the Globalists, and because he had decided to become a filmmaker and had already published his first documentary about the difficulties of being the child of billionaires, he basically had a free ticket to interview anyone he wanted to, as these very powerful people were probably trying to help out “one of their own” who was trying to find his way – at least until they realized just what it was he was trying to expose.

    Some of the people Jamie interviewed for The One Percent are: Steve Forbes – CEO of Forbes, Inc., and former presidential candidate, Bill Gates Sr. – father of Microsoft Founder Bill Gates, Adnan Khashoggi – Iranian International arms merchant involved in the Iran-Contra scandal under President Reagan, Claude R. Kirk Jr. – former governor of Florida, Greg Kushner – Lido Wealth Conference Director, Nicole Buffett – adopted daughter of Warren Buffett's son Peter from a previous marriage, and Milton Friedman – Economist, and Nobel Laureate: 1976 winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, among many others.

    A couple of years after this documentary was published, the U.S. banking crisis started, and President George Bush and his predecessor President Barak Obama proceeded to bail out the banks and the Billionaires on Wall Street.

    This led to the Occupy Wall Street protests in NYC at the end of 2011.

    Unfortunately, the movement never gained traction and eventually just fizzled out, even though it was probably the only protest in my lifetime that actually identified the real problem in the United States that is behind almost every evil we suffer from: the Wall Street Billionaires and Central Bankers.

    Why did this movement never pick up steam?

    Because those Billionaires and Bankers did what they always do: they made it a political issue and part of one political platform, in this case the “Liberal Left”, which then made the other half of the population of the United States, the “Conservative Right,” automatically oppose it, so that the country remained divided and never dealt with the real criminals running the country, foolishly believing that politicians actually run this country and that if we don't like them, we can simply vote them out of office.

    If you want to break out of this system of slavery, where the solutions presented by both political parties in the U.S. end up at the same destination, slavery to the Globalists, then try watching this 2006 documentary without a political lens to learn just how these Billionaires and Bankers think.

    One of the most revealing parts of the documentary, which I just watched this weekend for the first time, was about how corrupt the sugar industry is in Florida. The sugar cane industry in the Florida Everglades is basically owned by one rich family, the Fanjul family, who uses the Government to protect their interests.

    Attorney Greg Snell, who represents migrant farm workers working in the sugar cane fields, appears in this segment and states:

    One was the Republican one was the Democrat. Alfie Fanjul was the single largest contributor in Florida to the Clinton campaign, and his brother was the largest contributor to Republican Bob Dole campaign.

    They had it covered either way.

    This is an amazing film that I had not watched before this past weekend, and I was blown away by the information that is revealed in this documentary!

    To be sure, it falls short of revealing the darkest and most evil elements of the Globalists who run this country, and topics like Satanic Ritual Abuse and child sex trafficking, or the role of Freemasonry and the Satanic Zionist Jews, but what it does reveal is how these people think, and how they justify their wealth, including Christians.

    Economist Milton Friedman – Satanic Jew more Powerful than Presidents and Central Bankers

    Some of the most amazing segments of Jamie Johnson's documentary are from his interviews with Milton Friedman, one of the most powerful people in the history of the United States. Friedman died in November of 2006, which would have been shortly after Johnson's One Percent documentary was released.

    So the clips of Johnson interviewing Friedman were among the last words spoken by Friedman before his death.

    Friedman received the 1976 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, and his economic theories have shaped the economic theories put into practice by Central Bankers and the U.S. political system for decades now.

    He was a Jew, and undoubtedly a Freemason as he belonged to several secret societies, including the Grand Cordon of the First Class Order of the Sacred Treasure in Japan. (Source.)

    If one were to sum up the essence of this economic philosophy that runs the world today, in the words of Milton Friedman himself, it would be: “Greed is Good.”

    He expounded on this “ethic” in an interview with Phil Donahue years ago.

    This economic theory that “greed is good” became the foundation of business education in America's universities and colleges for decades.

    In 2020, noted as the 50-year anniversary of Friedman's economic philosophy, economists are now saying that Friedman was only “half right” when he stated that “greed is good.”

    Opinion: Milton Friedman told us greed was good — he was half right

    The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed – for lack of a better word – is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms – greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge – has marked the upward surge of mankind.

    – Gordon Gekko, “Wall Street” 1987

    Fifty years ago, well before the movie “Wall Street,” Chicago economist Milton Friedman set down what for many was the essence of the famous speech in Wall Street in an article for the New York Times magazine entitled “The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase its Profits”.

    His point, which along with his other contributions was recognized when he was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1976, was that businesses serve society best when they abandon talk of “social responsibilities” and solely maximize returns for shareholders.

    Incredibly influential (this month has seen special conferences and anniversary analyses), the essay has been credited with ushering in the doctrine of “shareholder primacy,” and with it short-termism, hostile takeovers, colossal frauds and savage job cuts. (Full article.)

    Today, while apparently “greed is good” is still accepted as true, we now have “a new kind of capitalism — stakeholder capitalism“, which is all the darling of the newer Technocrat billionaires such as Elon Musk and Peter Thiel and the “New Right” which I reported on in this article last year.

    In this “new” version of “capitalism”, or probably more accurately “libertarianism”, businesses believe that they alone can solve the world's problems without government, and that they have a “social responsibility” to do so, like save the planet from “climate change”.

    I’ll never forget reading Friedman’s essay when I was in business school in the 1980s. It influenced — I’d say brainwashed — a generation of C.E.O.s who believed that the only business of business is business. The headline said it all. Our sole responsibility to society? Make money. The communities beyond the corporate campus? Not our problem.

    I didn’t agree with Friedman then, and the decades since have only exposed his myopia. Just look where the obsession with maximizing profits for shareholders has brought us: terrible economic, racial and health inequalities; the catastrophe of climate change.

    It’s no wonder that so many young people now believe that capitalism can’t deliver the equal, inclusive, sustainable future they want. It’s time for a new kind of capitalism — stakeholder capitalism, which recognizes that our companies have a responsibility to all our stakeholders. Yes, that includes shareholders, but also our employees, customers, communities and the planet. (MARC BENIOFF, chief executive of Salesforce. Source.)

    But the basic tenet of this economic philosophy does not change: Greed is good and equals “freedom” in a “free” market.

    “Free” here meaning, of course, freedom from any oversight from either Government entities or religious moral values.

    This is the heart of “Free”masonry. The “freedom” to serve Satan instead of God.

    What the Bible Teaches about “Greed”

    In an article I published in July of last year (2023), “There is No Peace for the USA“, I reported what the Bible teaches about “greed”.

    Excerpts:

    There is No Peace for the USA

    The reason why so many people opposed Jeremiah was because they did not think it was possible that God would judge them, because they believed that they were the “chosen people” and that they were better than all the other nations around them. They continued to believe that God would favor them over their enemies.

    As the USA celebrates its “Independence Day” this week on July 4th, the parallels between the people of Jeremiah’s day and the people living in the US today, particularly the “Christians” who are the dominant religious group in the culture today, are stunning.

    But the truth that Jeremiah proclaimed thousands of years ago to his culture is the same truth that applies to the United States today:

    “Peace, peace,” they say, when there is no peace. (Jeremiah 6:14)

    And please make no mistake about who the intended audience was for Jeremiah’s prophecies. His audience was the people of God, those who claimed to serve and worship the Creator of the universe, Yahweh (the LORD), and those who claimed to follow his laws and teachings.

    To whom can I speak and give warning? Who will listen to me? Their ears are closed so they cannot hear.

    The word of the LORD is offensive to them; they find no pleasure in it.

    But I am full of the wrath of the LORD, and I cannot hold it in.

    “Pour it out on the children in the street and on the young men gathered together; both husband and wife will be caught in it, and the old, those weighed down with years. Their houses will be turned over to others, together with their fields and their wives, when I stretch out my hand against those who live in the land,” declares the LORD.

    “From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit.” (Jeremiah 6:10-13)

    Jeremiah stated that all the alleged believers of his day, including their leaders (prophets and priests), were guilty of being “greedy.”

    “Greed” is not a sin that is frequently talked about these days, but for the ancient people of God, it was one of the worst sins, and was equated with “idolatry.”

    Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. (Colossians 3:5-6)

    They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. (Ephesians 4:19)

    The English word “greed”, as it is used in modern times, really does not accurately reflect the original biblical language the Bible was written in, where the concept behind the English word “greed” was far more evil.

    It is best defined by Jesus himself, who told a “parable” to fully explain the meaning of “greed.”

    Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

    And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop. He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’

    “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.

    And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”‘

    “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’

    “This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God.” (Luke 12:15-21)

    The “greed” Jesus explains about here, is not the actual storage of grains and goods, but the motive the man in this parable had in storing more grains and goods than he needed as a hedge against the future so that he could “Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”

    We are not supposed to plan on a “life of ease” in this current age and the world system controlled by Satan. We are supposed to have a warrior mindset to do battle against evil, and in this mindset, there is no “peace” in this world system.

    Jesus said:

    Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

    For I have come to turn “a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law– a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.”

    Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

    Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. (Matthew 10:34-39)

    This is almost the exact opposite of what American Christianity teaches today.

    The biggest myth in American culture today is that socialism and communism in their most evil forms, is not yet found in America, and to keep it that way is to: stop electing liberals/democrats according to the Right, or elect politicians who do not bow down to capitalism and bring about equality through social justice, according to the Left.

    But whatever political philosophy you follow, you still end up at the same destination: tyranny and slavery.

    They both end up in “communism”. Either social communism through government redistributing wealth through taxes, or capitalist communism through “free” markets based on business greed and corporations who themselves practice communism on a global scale, mainly through “Philanthropy”. See:

    Bill Gates with his mentor Warren Buffet.

    Who Owns the World Health Organization and Their Plan to Vaccinate and Digitally Track Every Human Being on the Planet?

    It's all the same, with the Satanic Jewish Freemasons at the top.

    These servants of Satan most certainly can be defeated, because they are far outnumbered, but it is only going to happen if the public unites and recognizes the true enemy, and stops playing his game with partisan politics.

    Jesus Christ will return to this earth and execute judgment, as prophesied in the Bible. His side is the side you want to be on, and to learn what it means to be on his side means you need to pick up the Bible and read it for yourself, because it is very unlikely you will learn about the Jesus of the Bible in any church or religious group today, as most all of them follow Satan's system where “America is Great” and “patriotism” is seen as moral and good.

    This is most certainly not the time to follow the crowd, either the “Right” or the “Left” crowd.

    So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

    Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.

    But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. (Matthew 7:12-14)
