Conspiracy theories have run wild over the past few years. Many of these theories propose a common theme that a shadowy elite is in control and the chaos of living in the 2020's is all a part of the plan. It doesn't help that wealthy individuals often isolate themselves into exclusive communities of other rich people.

VICE Producer Zeke Spector spirals down the rabbit hole to understand where these conspiracy theories come from and expose what the rich are allegedly hiding.

    I love how he went to a multi millionaire and thought that that is indicative of the rich elite that is referenced in these theories: the rich elites have billions and their families control trillions.
  • @johnnyc.3261
    This is a pretty good summary of what it's like to be rich in this day and age. The rich start rich and use their wealth to get richer then claim they make their own money.
  • @Flesh.muppet
    The nonexistent personality of rich kids, how do u not get bored of them🤣😭
  • @JorisKeijser
    So what you did was: -Talk to a guy with a connection to Alex Jones -Stand at the entrance to bohemian grove and then leave -Talk to an old lady who said the rich want to stay rich -Drove lamborghinis with a couple oblivious young "rich" people who are nothing near the type of rich you're trying to investigate Then your conclusion was that there's nothing to the stories... Outstanding journalism

    The problem is most people don't even wanna talk about how cruel and wicked the world really is. They would rather enjoy their simple life instead of fighting for the truth. Human society is very much like the animal kingdom. Best believe there are forces who abuse, kill, trade, and use animals to make money. The same happens with human beings as well. I just wish we could live in a world where everyone has a fair shot at life. Everyone has access to food, water, and shelter of any kind. Most people don't really want a mansion, they just want enough to take care of their family. In reality, none of us actually own anything on this Earth. We just claim it and say we own it by the means of money, but really we are all guest to someone else's home.

    btw major props on how well the reporter edits and can overview editing of details in video. that is also a great skill when reporting these things to understand how to use editing tools like a pro :hand-orange-covering-eyes::buffering:
  • Bohemian Grove wealth and the Miami people you hung out with are two whole different levels of wealth by the way..
  • I used to obsess about material things and expensive habits. After going through shitty life situations from health, realtionships and bills I came to conclusion I only want peace and a healthy life.
  • @Mack-Le-DoN
    Rich people and wealthy people are different. You interviewed The wrong people. The people your looking for have grey or silver hair 💯
  • @jm7578
    I know from firsthand experience most of the evils in cruelties in this world comes from the hands of the rich and not the poor. Throughout my life inexplicably I was exposed to extremely rich and powerful people and I’ve not met one that is good. The World Economic Forum which is made up of billionaires is the Bohemian Grove.
  • @carlamolina695
    I think it's a pretty valid concern for the average citizen to ask ourselves 'what do millionaires do for fun these days' and how can it affect us? There's no conspiracy theory in believing millionares no longer have fun with traditional entertainment like we do
  • I love how they found a few random guys in their late 20's in Miami with Lamborghini's to represent the type of ppl who attend Bohemian Grove.
  • I like this younger, less, serious approach to vice docs--perfect for a lifestyles of the rich and famous.
  • @mosslinden5058
    The people you're interviewing and chilling with are rich, yeah. The people who hang at places like Bohemian Grove are wealthy. There is an enormous difference between 50 million and 50 billion - the people at the 50 billion level wouldn't be as chill like this.

  • Love the hooks on the ceiling for "lights" for a "pool table".

    "Alex used to look like a greek god" 🤣 I spit out my coffee
