Let’s take a moment to congratulate William and Catherine for being working royals while looking after their children,unlike Harry and Meghan who are just to lazy to do anything!
The only odd thing to me? That's just Normal to me. People say William and Catherine are boring! No. They're simply not causing drama and chaos! We have to stop watching reality tv or something. I just read a comment from a woman who chooses who she votes for "If their voice shakes, I know their heart is in it!". Ok, but beyond emotional reaction...?
@@griffinmathers929 Ockham's razor is the very reason we are so annoyed by these two. It's not racism, not a cruel family, not the bug that kept them from success, not the studio that was built in their home, etc., etc., etc. The simplest answer is usually the answer. It's THEM.
I cannot believe how Meghan managed to marry into the royal family and came crashing down like a wrecking ball.But she is so good at social climbing...as an introvert I could never😂😂
If she weren't so silly and insignificant, this would be the stuff of a Greek tragedy. Girl from nowhere, with all the odds against her, somehow rises to the heights of royalty. Surely the gods must be responsible for such a dizzying rise! Then... HUBRIS. And she comes crashing down to the depths.
It's not even about only being an Introvert. People who social Climb so aggressively, discarding people along the way, most of the time have some degree of Sociopathy, and or Narcissism.
@@tracym6652Meghan knew exactly what she was doing, snapping up a Prince of England. Just look at how she dismissed her previous husband and boyfriends, without looking back. The Queen would have had a deep background check done on Meghan. She and other Royals begged Harry to wait longer, before marrying M. He wouldn't, because she had her hooks in him and wasn't letting go. I've known a few women like Meghan. They can play a part in life, better than they could on screen. They waited until the rings were on their fingers, before releasing the inner devil. Meghan cut off her own family. Then she got Harry to agree to go back to the U.S, leaving his family. Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry connived to help Meghan. He offered them use of one of his houses and Oprah got the interviews. Meghan knew she would receive $10 million for the interviews. Just after they were finished, $10 million arrived in their Charitable Foundation. It was all planned by Meghan in London, before she and Harry left for Canada. That was just a place to hide while Meghan dealt with Perry and Oprah. Harry agreed to the interviews because hes a gullible fool. Even the Netflix deal was started by Perry and Oprah, with Meghan and Harry's approval. Now, Harry is stuck there and Meghan can't understand that Harry's Royal position is more interesting to others when Harry is in the picture.
Hearing people in the UK news fret that she will be the President of the United States soon makes me ill. I mean, it's been wacky here, politics especially. But Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, Commander in Chief? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Mandy534z For me, it was the reprehensible intrusive cosplaying at the Uvalde, Texas memorial for murdered children all filmed by Netflix crew. The final nail in the “you’re a garbage person “ coffin was the mocking curtsy on Netflix meant for HLMTQ to see.
Having worked in a lot of these larger companies in London and New York, I can say there's a lot of upward failure. The enormous edifices, the treasured reputations can obscure a lot of mediocrity - so it's probably not too difficult for a sociopath to find a crack to wriggle through.
Bingo! And once you fail your way up, no matter how awful you are, the company will just move you to another department rather than fire you. I see it every day.
That’s interesting. I used to work in Local Government and the number of people who were promoted to a position of mediocrity if not complete incompetence in some cases was astounding.
@@mary-kittybonkers2374 Same here. I worked 30 years municipal government. Departmental directorships were bestowed on the least qualified employees who did not have proper degree, work experience, or aptitude for the job. I’ve seen a person with a BA in social work promoted to be director of Planning and Zoning managing a department of 30 employees. In return, the citizens got sloppy work, mediocre service, and incompetent management of every kind. The problem I came to realize is that since municipal governments are not in the business of showing a profit for shareholders, there’s no incentive to be conservative in the spending. Tax revenues come in from various streams and no one has to hustle to make a profit. The majority of the money is just there to be wasted on inflated salaries, and over generous benefits. Annual budgets are set, but not a single department would have any funds left to rollover to the next year. They make sure every cent is spent even if it’s on unnecessary or useless projects/items.
America grows psychopaths, and has the largest numbers per population than any other country. In fact worldwide numbers are approx.3to 4 percent. In the States estimates are 10 to.20 percent , naturally many are in finance and corporate. Naturally. Being founded by those vicious Puritans , genocide of 10s of millions, the enslavement of millions upon millions, and the destruction of other countries through war and disaster capitalism.... well as a Canadian I see the pattern. America scares the hell out of me. I looked at everything that I could find and read much more because my ex was multiple personality, one of which is a sociopath or a psychopath. It was beyond hell. I can see one from across the street now , not kidding.
Thank you for deconstructing con artists and apex predators. I have realized how much my life has been affected by this type of person and I am realizing that I am a true feminist, not them. They co-op the "strong woman" moniker but they are not strong, they are calculating, with fragile egos. I had to become a supporter. I am learning so much at the tender age of 57! 😁
People who label themselves in whatever way will also have the work ethic to match. When they don't showcase work ethic, then it is clear that they picked a label or movement out of the barrel to try it on and see if it might work. Never trust folks without the work ethic. I had to learn the hard way at the tender age of 48.
You have some of the same attributes necessary to pull off a con- you're educated, are beautiful - and people want to hear what you say... but you use it for good, by inspiring us to really deep think and I thank you!!! ❤

My nephew is at university and is doing an apprenticeship with JP Morgan. He has worked so hard to get to this point. Problem with so many humans is greed and laziness. They are too lazy to check out the information and greedy and want to earn a fast buck!
JP Morgan is the real problem. They allowed themselves to be conned. I’m sure there could have been some way for them to verify the accounts prior to handing her millions of dollars. Sometimes, ppl who are duped, deserve it. Con artists are not ever going away, so be smart people.
Point taken, but I think you're conflating two separate issues. Because I am too trusting (for whatever reason) and allow myself to be taken advantage of am I therefore *responsible* for another person's attitudes and actions? For better or for worse, sometimes we often only learn harsh life lessons through experience.
@@keithgiblin2636 totally agree. I don’t think people (or even companies) ‘deserve’ to be duped. The con artists pick on the most vulnerable, and maybe some of these companies are vulnerable through vanity and greed, but they still don’t deserve it, anymore than ordinary people getting conned every day
What an interesting video - one thing that came out of this was how unintelligent H&M are, the other three con artists all put alot of effort into their 'cons' - although ultimately they all failed. It seems to me that in 2023 one of the biggest covers for con artists is 'charity work'? The charity work can be 100% bona fide - but it provides a cover for the side/big hustle.
Your presentations are like mini works of art. Well researched, balanced, slightly humorous, and insightful. I know it’s your training as an attorney. But I also think it’s WHO YOU ARE that strives to analyze the facts and come to conclusions that are relevant and educational for all of us. I enjoy your channel very much. Cheers from USA;)
Love this segment. Although I've likened Meghan in my mind with just Delvey. It's great how you've gathered a bunch from the hall of grifters and outlined their illustrious achievements!
And the irony of it all, these women are not even “spectacularly beautiful or attractive”. So how were they able to fool and make victim of these supposedly “smart and wealthy” men?!? ….
I think that they are experts in observing human behaviour and going on to exploit it. Also, they are extremely calculating and know exactly how to manipulate their ‘victims’ egos and feelings.
They are very plain women with varying amounts of "help". Their allure is likely their extremely inflated egos, confidence and self-belief. Other people assume that such strong belief in the self must have something to back it up rather than mere hutzpah, so want to be around these seemingly dynamic and successful people until it becomes clear it's all a front.
I cannot understand why a company would just fork over so much money without doing thorough research smh. I don't even want to give someone $20 without knowing what I am getting into!
Look at the Madoff feeder funds and their clients. They made themselves appear richer than they really were and convinced others to invest so they would also make a lot of money effortlessly.
Oh, what about Heather Mills, that horrible former wife of Sir Paul McCartney...what a piece of work she was. Anyone remember her ? Thanks Pluto for another great presentation
I adore your videos - so perceptive, outstanding research, captivating presentation. I have long drawn parallels between Meghan Markle and Elizabeth Holmes but Anna is also cut from the same plot. Fascinating
Personally, I wouldn't call these women "anti-feminists." Firstly, that term already means something, and it isn't them. It refers to people who are opposed to the feminist ideology/movement as they've experienced it (not as "feminism" is technically defined, but rather how people have used it). I think it's important not to confuse the issue. These female con artists think that they can use their femininity, or the traits that are often associated with womanhood, to do bad things and get themselves ahead. I'd refer to that as "toxic femininity." If men can use their traits in bad ways, so can we, and it should be called out for what it is.
Exactly. Psychopathic tendencies tend to be expressed differently in women (as opposed to men). Women who prey on others tend to use lying, seduction and manipulation.
Pluto, you are absolutely brilliant! The way to put out all the information with analysis for the underlying logic with a deep understanding of human nature is incredible impressive! Bravo, as always
Excellent analysis. The horrifying element is most of these scammers do not think they have committed a crime. It also shows the greed and stupidity of the powerful people who believe them. Harry, however, was just plain gullible. His brother tried to warn him.
You nailed it Pluto. This is yet her biggest “act” of all time.She succeeded for a short period and came crashing like a train wreck because of her lack of self-awareness and the willingness to take responsibility for her own actions. She was given the opportunity of a lifetime and what has she done with it?
You could create such beautiful fairy tales with your skill & know-how! They would be magic. We normally say ‘wine & dine’ rather than the reverse (at least in UK English) 🥰
I have really puzzled over why H &M slated the family who are the only reason on earth why the public know who they are. They now seem to have destroyed everything they need to stay relevant. Are they stupid? There seems no way forward for them
This is not a problem of "rich people". We all are prone to believe charismatic beautiful people that pretend they are someone they are not. Its just a bias people have and we can do something about it by knowing it exists.
Common trait for criminal action of any sort,big or small , is the attraction of instant reward and lack of thinking through any longer term consequences.
I never understand why these people never feel guilty for what they do and think they can get away with everything and nobody is going to stop them the mind boggels with them all I doubt that they will be the last people to try and make money by lieing lovely podcast as usual I love it when I see you have posted i really enjoy listening to you and your lovely friend when you do a double podcast can't wait for your next one .
From where On Earth did it ever occur to you to do a talk on the patterns of nature? I found your first 30 seconds riveting and I'm not being facetious. Never has it even occurred to me that there are so many distinct patterns in nature and that we see them so often that we take them for granted and become oblivious to them. And then to compare that profundity to a long string of recognizable faces... like I said I'm astounded with your comparison. It's powerful.
I like your site. You are articulate and do the necessary research to be a credible and not sensationalizing todays stories. Keep up the good work. So much greed in this world
Love all your vids! You are always on point. And I felt that topic hard, cause look at me struggling 8 months to find some good job, being educated, certified, good employee, good human, well behaved. But i'm not calculated, stunning looking, self absorbed person who can sold an empty balloon as a great innovation... Thank you for your vids and your views on those topics!❤
Oh yes, I remember seeing a short doco on this some time ago, though I can't remember where. Thanks for the reminder of this particular scammer. I find it hard to understand how such a scammer can pass over full access to their 'work' knowing that it is dishonest. Do they think their scam is so perfect that it will go unnoticed?
I love this series on con artists. Most of these women are quite new to me, and your videos send me off on a fascinating journey as I discover more about their careers. Elizabeth Holmes I was vaguely aware of, as other people on UA-cam were talking about her, but it wasn't until I saw your video on her (and her supposed 'reformation' after getting caught) that I really learned about Theranos, and went on to watch 'The Dropout' and read 'Bad Blood'. So you've really furthered my education - thanks!
Did you notice Peacock Plus added Suits to their streaming platform? I wonder if NBC who owns Peacock did this to see if MM’s TV would draw in viewers? I have a feeling not many are watching it b/c it was in USA and that’s the same as a network series🙄
10:30 that's basically what Anna Sorokina said in "Inventing Anna", those greedy rich men were easy to dupe and they deserved it because they probably dupe others too. 😵💫 Edited to add, Oops, you brought up Anna soon after i added my post. Another excellent video, thanks Pluto.
You’re very intelligent, analytical and articulate. These case studies and research could be gathered for publication in a book. Maybe titled, “The Art of the Scam”. It may even become a best seller. There’s a lot of interest in this topic now because of Elizabeth Holmes and Megan Markle.
I agree, Pluto! Someone should be knocking on your door to hire you and Zac to replace H & M. Your expertise, professionalism, and experience are far beyond most established online content producers. You are such a fabulous narrator, and your delivery captures your audience until the very end of the production. You put long-held popular programs like 60 Minutes to shame considering you and Zac do this together without all the production costs. I dare say that you could teach other popular and similar outlets quite a bit about what hard work really is! I don't know what awards are out there, but I mentioned in another episode that you should win awards for your productions. I would almost hate that to happen because these mega outlets would get all their lawyers involved....which YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND their legalese! How diverse you are! Wow...just think of the possibilities without the greed born in Megan and Harry. They are the most maladjusted two famous people imaginable. Thank you so much for all your talent, knowledge, and dedication to excellence.
Thank you ,this is so relevant and I modestly have been thinking this over so many issues . The apparant stupidity of elites in these situations. But easy to see that it's the same old, same old ,Greed and sucking up ! led by their shall we say, less intellectual body parts . 😂
I don’t always agree with your opinions but if someone is an exemple of badass female hero/girl power its you, having been on the army and doing powerful, well spoken, amazing povs and such a class, it’s you. Thanks for sharing your pov with us, keep up the good work, people don’t know feminism is about equality/woman being respected, not superior, and it so, you’re one badass, respected, brilliant girl power! ❤❤❤❤ Keep up the great work!
Thank you for another excellent video. May I suggest that YOU have a book or two that could be written and I for one would be first in line to buy it. ❤❤❤❤
Con artist get caught because they become very comfortable and start to believe in their own lies. They think they are invincible. Sadly, the trip themselves.
Very good point, and comparison. I forgot about the Anna story. That is America for you, they like to rub shoulders with the rich and famous, especially if they are from old money, hence the reason a lot of 'Anna's' friends were left in debt, after she left them with the hotel bills and other costs. Excellent video, that you for sharing. I honestly would listen to 'Anna's" podcasts if she was talking about how she idid it. She could teach some women how to have more confidence, as this woman had the most amazing confidence, to con so many people!! Unsure if she should have been paying this so called dresser - for court, all she is wearing is black and white, white and black and monochrome. She could have sent someone out to pick up a few white blouses a pair os black trousers and a black skirt!! How is she paying for that, I wonder?????
I’ve worked as a health professional for over 45 years. I put 9% of my earnings into a very good super scheme to which my employer also contributed 6%. The work was very hard, stressful and long-but it rewarded me with a wonderful career, a house and financial security. So yes, hard work pays off but it takes a lifetime for us honest people.
Your show is so well done! Research, the images you choose, you're extremely pleasant to listen to. Will definitely send my daughter a link! She's 22, we have always talked about women who she should listen to - and who to not listen to! Thank you for a high quality channel, this episode was extremely interesting.
Water will find its level, or a person’s character will come out in the end. When you’ve paid attention long enough you can get a sense of someone’s character from their actions. I do not go off words. It’s actually sus if they are trying to manage perception. Meghan is the perfect example of someone who hasn’t learned important lessons because she was fine using her charms and schemes to get what she wanted. Growing up in WA I was turned off by appearance obsessed culture. Vapid people care more about looks than character. Looks fade, your character is far more important. But our culture is obsessed with beauty and youth. And women think they become invisible after 40. I have yet to experience maybe because I prefer to connect on skills.
patterns and cycles are everywhere in nature. my daughter traveled to n. ireland earlier this month, and her group visited giant's causeway. the site is very famous for its natural mathematical patterns. one might describe the patterns as beautiful and alluring, even mesmerizing. we naturally create habits, patterns, and cycles just as nature does. it's how we choose to live, positively or negatively, which determines the patterns we create. great video this week, pluto thank you 👏🎬
I would love it if you would look into doing a video on Colleen Ballinger. The fallen UA-camr. She somehow was able to abuse children on stage, in her books, in front of everyone for almost a decade. Then she did her infamous ukulele song filled with passive aggressive hate against her accusers. She programmed kids to bully anyone who criticized her, and it worked for a decade. This was another amazing video you did. The patterns are exactly right. There's the Cycle of Abuse/Violence, that creates a downward spiral really if you get caught in it. These con artists will gaslight people down to disaster and destruction. We have to all watch for these patterns and stand up against these con artists, or they will just seize more and more power, ultimately becoming like a Putin or a Hitler.

Exactly. Psychopathic tendencies tend to be expressed differently in women (as opposed to men). Women who prey on others tend to use lying, seduction and manipulation.
Pluto, you are absolutely brilliant! The way to put out all the information with analysis for the underlying logic with a deep understanding of human nature is incredible impressive! Bravo, as always
Excellent analysis. The horrifying element is most of these scammers do not think they have committed a crime. It also shows the greed and stupidity of the powerful people who believe them. Harry, however, was just plain gullible. His brother tried to warn him.
You nailed it Pluto.
This is yet her biggest “act” of all time.She succeeded for a short period and came crashing like a train wreck because of her lack of self-awareness and the willingness to take responsibility for her own actions.
She was given the opportunity of a lifetime and what has she done with it?
Excellent video! The anti-feminist handbook! Love it!
You could create such beautiful fairy tales with your skill & know-how! They would be magic. We normally say ‘wine & dine’ rather than the reverse (at least in UK English) 🥰
Yes, that was a mistake on my part 🤭
@@lostbeyondpluto Your content is v classy 🥰
I have really puzzled over why H &M slated the family who are the only reason on earth why the public know who they are. They now seem to have destroyed everything they need to stay relevant. Are they stupid? There seems no way forward for them
Yes I agree. No amount of “rebranding“ can help them. People don’t forget that easily.
Pluto, you have a unique way of putting your talks together. I really enjoy the analyses.
Good one. Thanks! And yes, Congrats to Will and Kate who are doing good the old fashioned way. For real!
Those women are not beautiful..they are beyond average..YOU are beautiful ❤
Someone recently told me they watched Suits and thought Megain was a good actress…..after falling off my chair I had to explain she wasn’t acting!!
Wow, this is unbelievable, pathetic and really scary.
Your videos are always spot on Pluto....which is why I so look forward to them!!!
Pluto is opposite the sun on Sunday. Pluto also squared the nodes yesterday. Don't mess with Pluto.
Another AMAZING video!!!!! THANK YOU and BRAVO⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Happy birthday Prince George 🤴
Excellent video. 👍 😁👍
This is not a problem of "rich people". We all are prone to believe charismatic beautiful people that pretend they are someone they are not. Its just a bias people have and we can do something about it by knowing it exists.
Pluto, you’re so smart and talented and so young! You exude integrity. Love your channel.
She could of course just be conning us!
I love the intelligent way of looking at the bigger picture. Well done
Common trait for criminal action of any sort,big or small , is the attraction of instant reward and lack of thinking through any longer term consequences.
I never understand why these people never feel guilty for what they do and think they can get away with everything and nobody is going to stop them the mind boggels with them all I doubt that they will be the last people to try and make money by lieing lovely podcast as usual I love it when I see you have posted i really enjoy listening to you and your lovely friend when you do a double podcast can't wait for your next one .
From where On Earth did it ever occur to you to do a talk on the patterns of nature? I found your first 30 seconds riveting and I'm not being facetious. Never has it even occurred to me that there are so many distinct patterns in nature and that we see them so often that we take them for granted and become oblivious to them. And then to compare that profundity to a long string of recognizable faces... like I said I'm astounded with your comparison. It's powerful.
I agree. Discussing nature's pattern was a brilliant opening to the video. Made me think of Mandelbrot's fractal geometry of nature.
That was great, I didn't know about the JP Morgan con artist.
JP Morgan con was genius.
This is one of your best podcasts. Well done!
I like your site. You are articulate and do the necessary research to be a credible and not sensationalizing todays stories. Keep up the good work. So much greed in this world
Pluto, you are a somebody in my book. Thank you.
Well done! Corporate greed deserves a slap down now, and again through a con.
Fascinating. Thank you 😊
Brilliant indeed 😊👏👏👏👏
Wow! $100mill from JPM Chase?!? Damn, she is good.
Your script, your narrative, production quality is SO good! You can start teaching these amazing skills to spread some of your fantastic talent!
Love all your vids! You are always on point. And I felt that topic hard, cause look at me struggling 8 months to find some good job, being educated, certified, good employee, good human, well behaved. But i'm not calculated, stunning looking, self absorbed person who can sold an empty balloon as a great innovation...
Thank you for your vids and your views on those topics!❤
I love your well researched and delivered essays!!
Your videos are so well thought out, articulate, educational. You truly respect the viewer. Thank you!
Oh yes, I remember seeing a short doco on this some time ago, though I can't remember where. Thanks for the reminder of this particular scammer.
I find it hard to understand how such a scammer can pass over full access to their 'work' knowing that it is dishonest. Do they think their scam is so perfect that it will go unnoticed?
I love this series on con artists. Most of these women are quite new to me, and your videos send me off on a fascinating journey as I discover more about their careers. Elizabeth Holmes I was vaguely aware of, as other people on UA-cam were talking about her, but it wasn't until I saw your video on her (and her supposed 'reformation' after getting caught) that I really learned about Theranos, and went on to watch 'The Dropout' and read 'Bad Blood'. So you've really furthered my education - thanks!
Crime doesn't pay....one can rely on WHEN CAUGHT not IF CAUGHT.
Did you notice Peacock Plus added Suits to their streaming platform? I wonder if NBC who owns Peacock did this to see if MM’s TV would draw in viewers? I have a feeling not many are watching it b/c it was in USA and that’s the same as a network series🙄
10:30 that's basically what Anna Sorokina said in "Inventing Anna", those greedy rich men were easy to dupe and they deserved it because they probably dupe others too. 😵💫
Edited to add, Oops, you brought up Anna soon after i added my post.
Another excellent video, thanks Pluto.
Pluto you never cease to amaze me! Best of the best, thank you for all the work and brilliant analyses you consistently provide us with🙌🌹
You’re very intelligent, analytical and articulate. These case studies and research could be gathered for publication in a book. Maybe titled, “The Art of the Scam”. It may even become a best seller. There’s a lot of interest in this topic now because of Elizabeth Holmes and Megan Markle.
Vanity. Greed. Hubris. On both sides of the equation. We are repeatedly duped by the lies we tell ourselves. This I know.
For a young woman you give good advice like my parents did, don’t call people,
work hard
Apply yourself.
And set a good example for others.
Absolutely delightful….well done!
Always thought provoking! Thank you for sharing with such clarity!
Amazing, as always! You rock!
I agree, Pluto! Someone should be knocking on your door to hire you and Zac to replace H & M. Your expertise, professionalism, and experience are far beyond most established online content producers. You are such a fabulous narrator, and your delivery captures your audience until the very end of the production. You put long-held popular programs like 60 Minutes to shame considering you and Zac do this together without all the production costs. I dare say that you could teach other popular and similar outlets quite a bit about what hard work really is! I don't know what awards are out there, but I mentioned in another episode that you should win awards for your productions. I would almost hate that to happen because these mega outlets would get all their lawyers involved....which YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND their legalese! How diverse you are! Wow...just think of the possibilities without the greed born in Megan and Harry. They are the most maladjusted two famous people imaginable. Thank you so much for all your talent, knowledge, and dedication to excellence.
A PLEASURE TO WATCH , succint and spot on.
Thank you ,this is so relevant and I modestly have been thinking this over so many issues . The apparant stupidity of elites in these situations. But easy to see that it's the same old, same old ,Greed and sucking up ! led by their shall we say, less intellectual body parts . 😂
I don’t always agree with your opinions but if someone is an exemple of badass female hero/girl power its you, having been on the army and doing powerful, well spoken, amazing povs and such a class, it’s you. Thanks for sharing your pov with us, keep up the good work, people don’t know feminism is about equality/woman being respected, not superior, and it so, you’re one badass, respected, brilliant girl power! ❤❤❤❤ Keep up the great work!
Thank you for putting the truth out there for us love your channel
Very very enlightening 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you for another excellent video. May I suggest that YOU have a book or two that could be written and I for one would be first in line to buy it. ❤❤❤❤
An insightful take on the dynamic behind the phenomenon of wealth, status and royal titles...
I really love your videos ❤
HI Pluto. good to see your hard work paying off. almost at 100000 subscribers. Your videos are informative and entertaining.
Con artist get caught because they become very comfortable and start to believe in their own lies. They think they are invincible. Sadly, the trip themselves.
Yep, just like Megan and Harry aka the Grifters 😂
I would love to hear more stories like this. Peoples deceitfulness always shocks me
Very good point, and comparison. I forgot about the Anna story. That is America for you, they like to rub shoulders with the rich and famous, especially if they are from old money, hence the reason a lot of 'Anna's' friends were left in debt, after she left them with the hotel bills and other costs. Excellent video, that you for sharing. I honestly would listen to 'Anna's" podcasts if she was talking about how she idid it. She could teach some women how to have more confidence, as this woman had the most amazing confidence, to con so many people!! Unsure if she should have been paying this so called dresser - for court, all she is wearing is black and white, white and black and monochrome. She could have sent someone out to pick up a few white blouses a pair os black trousers and a black skirt!! How is she paying for that, I wonder?????
Not just Americans who “ like to rub shoulders with the ruch and famous.” It’s universal.
According to Dr. Scott Peck who wrote the book “people of the liie”, He estimated about 6% of the population has no conscience.
That's a lot!
Brilliant stuff,Pluto Thank you
These con artists must think they will outsmart the people they con and not get caught.
This was excellent! I find it amazing how easily people (me included) can be conned.
I’ve worked as a health professional for over 45 years. I put 9% of my earnings into a very good super scheme to which my employer also contributed 6%. The work was very hard, stressful and long-but it rewarded me with a wonderful career, a house and financial security. So yes, hard work pays off but it takes a lifetime for us honest people.
Thank you….very good presentation!!
I *LOVE* your channel! Your intellectual acuity, your rigorous research, your unflinching pursuit of the truth are second to *NONE* - thank you!
Pluto I really enjoy your videos you have put in so much research and thought keep up the great work ❤ Ana
Your show is so well done! Research, the images you choose, you're extremely pleasant to listen to. Will definitely send my daughter a link! She's 22, we have always talked about women who she should listen to - and who to not listen to! Thank you for a high quality channel, this episode was extremely interesting.
Water will find its level, or a person’s character will come out in the end.
When you’ve paid attention long enough you can get a sense of someone’s character from their actions. I do not go off words. It’s actually sus if they are trying to manage perception.
Meghan is the perfect example of someone who hasn’t learned important lessons because she was fine using her charms and schemes to get what she wanted.
Growing up in WA I was turned off by appearance obsessed culture. Vapid people care more about looks than character. Looks fade, your character is far more important. But our culture is obsessed with beauty and youth. And women think they become invisible after 40. I have yet to experience maybe because I prefer to connect on skills.
Pluto, your videos are so professional! Loved your intro today! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰Love your channel!
patterns and cycles are everywhere in nature. my daughter traveled to n. ireland earlier this month, and her group visited giant's causeway. the site is very famous for its natural mathematical patterns. one might describe the patterns as beautiful and alluring, even mesmerizing. we naturally create habits, patterns, and cycles just as nature does. it's how we choose to live, positively or negatively, which determines the patterns we create. great video this week, pluto thank you 👏🎬
I would love it if you would look into doing a video on Colleen Ballinger. The fallen UA-camr.
She somehow was able to abuse children on stage, in her books, in front of everyone for almost a decade.
Then she did her infamous ukulele song filled with passive aggressive hate against her accusers.
She programmed kids to bully anyone who criticized her, and it worked for a decade.
This was another amazing video you did. The patterns are exactly right. There's the Cycle of Abuse/Violence, that creates a downward spiral really if you get caught in it.
These con artists will gaslight people down to disaster and destruction.
We have to all watch for these patterns and stand up against these con artists, or they will just seize more and more power, ultimately becoming like a Putin or a Hitler.
Poetic justice! Love your talent!
