I had my keyboard warrior mask on to tear this down. But, it beautifully explains debt.

Debt isn't bad because it allows civilization to borrow from the future to invest in current innovation capacity and, if managed well, get their children and grand children better standards of living faster.

However, what is bad who control the debt.

Debt owners can be disposed of, so while not exactly a perpetual motion machine, there is a lot of incentive to think about this game carefully.

Thanks for the link.

I didn’t believe you. I was wrong.

banking and payments have controlled the world from the shadows effectively for 2k years. This was always acceptable. What is not acceptable is to issue debt, and then sabotage the endeavors the debt is financing. The explorers and tradesmen, through the years, have mostly been a valiant lot, deserving of their riches, since they took great risks. The are who created the secret societies, and likely today's prevalent religions. Fine. However over the span of 100 generations or so they have become soft, and allowed themselves to be infiltrated and undermined by a weakly, measly, sickly, power-hungry lot entirely void of valor and completely undeserving of any riches or power whatsoever.

The international https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_International_(2009_film)

The International is a 2009 action thriller film[6] directed by Tom Tykwer and written by Eric Warren Singer. Starring Clive Owen and Naomi Watts, the film follows an Interpol agent and an American district attorney who jointly investigate corruption within the IBBC, a fictional merchant bank based in Luxembourg. It serves organized crime and corrupt governments as a banker and as an arms broker. The bank's ruthless managers assassinate potential threats, including their own employees.

Inspired by the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) scandal of the 1980s, the film raises concerns about how global finance affects international politics across the world. Production began in Berlin in September 2008, including the construction of a life-size replica of New York's Guggenheim Museum for the film's central shootout scene. The film opened the 59th Berlin International Film Festival on 5 February 2009. The Rotten Tomatoes critical consensus praised the action sequences and locations but criticized the plot.[7]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_of_Credit_and_Commerce_International

The Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) was an international bank founded in 1972 by Agha Hasan Abedi, a Pakistani financier.[1] The Bank was registered in Luxembourg with head offices in Karachi and London. A decade after opening, BCCI had over 400 branches in 78 countries and assets in excess of US$20 billion, making it the seventh largest private bank in the world.[2][3]

BCCI came under the scrutiny of financial regulators and intelligence agencies in the 1980s, due to concerns that it was poorly regulated. Subsequent investigations revealed that it was involved in massive money laundering and other financial crimes, and had illegally gained the controlling interest in a major American bank. BCCI became the focus of a massive regulatory battle in 1991, and, on 5 July of that year, customs and bank regulators in seven countries raided and locked down records of its branch offices.[4]

Investigators in the United States and the UK determined that BCCI had been "set up deliberately to avoid centralized regulatory review, and operated extensively in bank secrecy jurisdictions. Its affairs were extraordinarily complex. Its officers were sophisticated international bankers whose apparent objective was to keep their affairs secret, to commit fraud on a massive scale, and to avoid detection".[5]

The liquidators, Deloitte & Touche, filed a lawsuit against the bank's auditors, Price Waterhouse and Ernst & Young, which was settled for $175 million in 1998. By 2013, Deloitte & Touche claimed to have recovered about 75% of the creditors' lost money.[6]

It's not an extraordinary movie, it's just a movie, but it has the merit of depicting a quite a big little known story

The real IBBC (BBCI) was a pakistani bank, it was the 5th largest in the world

And while the inner activities were super crafty, the inputs were just too big to go unnoticed at some point, so it started to get interpol's attention

HSBC got caught laundering drug and terrorists money too

But ultimately I think that's just the tip of the iceberg. Those who get caught are those who didn't play ball with TPTB. Just like with saddam, he got offed not because he was a dictator or because WMD. But because he wanted to be independent, have his own gold currency (gold dinar) on top of stopping to price his oil in dollars only

So he got rekt, it's pretty much the same story for gaddafi btw, he too wanted to make a gold dinar. Gold is a direct competitor to paper currencies, that's why its price has been maintained artificially low for years, see LIBOR scandal

They own everything, thx to the oil revolution at the beginning of the century. Those who have surfed on that historical event and maintained themselves on top, are the masters of the universe, they are too far gone in terms of acquisition. It's a factual monopoly that doesn't want to say its name, they've been busy scheming to avoid being caught by anti trust laws as standard oil has been, lesson learned
