Bill Hicks Puppet Show - "The Elite"

Summary of Bill Hicks Puppet Show - "The Elite":

(00:02) Bill Hicks presents his perspective that a small handful of elite individuals actually control everything in society, emphasizing this is provable fact rather than conspiracy theory

(00:02) He describes how these elites run and own major corporations, including mainstream media organizations

(00:02-00:36) Hicks creates a satirical scenario where any newly elected president (using Clinton as an example) is summoned to a smoky room with "12 industrialist capitalist scum" who funded their campaign

(00:36) In this imagined scenario, the elite show the new president footage of the Kennedy assassination from a previously unseen angle that appears to be from the grassy knoll

(00:36) The dark comedy routine concludes with the elite asking the president if they have any questions, to which the president meekly responds by asking about their agenda and is told "first we bomb Baghdad"

The piece uses dark satire to critique power structures, corporate influence on politics, and the illusion of democratic choice in American presidential politics
