I've been watching late night documentaries of iconic historical figures- Stalin, Chairman Mao, Mussolini, Rockefeller, the Vanderbilt's, the Rothschild's, J.P. Morgan. I'd rather be a banker or a businessman than an autocrat. Stalin died in a puddle of his own urine, the victim of a suspected poisoning. Chairman Mao, some suspect, suffered the same fate. And Mussolini, he was shot to death, then hung upside down before being spat upon and dragged through the streets. Being a tyrannical leader just doesn't pay.
The bankers have it figured. They go unnoticed. They finance the winners and the losers. The system of governance doesn't really matter to them. All that matters is that the government is stable so they're making money. The loan and the bond, the two most powerful things in the world. Loans and bonds turn people and governments into dependents. Dependency is the byproduct of power. Bombastic tyrants serve as distractions for financiers. It's all too familiar and overly cliche. But sadly, that's how it works. There. I said it, I meant it, and that's the way it is.
