Well that's it. Financial gain. That's what I'm talking about. Trying to attack those seekers after financial gain.

A bit hard to pin them down.

Such folks as Rurik Skywalker are in no doubt whatever, I think, that it is Oligarchs who're directing the policy of Russia.

And the same seems to apply to the USA and UK etc.

That's who I'm talking about. If they truly do exist. If this phenomenon does exist.

So they wouldn't actually finance things for why need they? The govts are capable of raising the finance they need themselves.

So it's not that simple.

But the idea is that they promote having a war here or having a war there and then they even direct the prosecution of that war such that this place is not hit because it is an asset of theirs and the other place is hit because it is a competitor's asset.

See?

Who they are and exactly how they operate I don't know.

I simply think it very probably has a large measure of truth in it. The fact of the American Military Industrial Complex is undisputed since Eisenhower told us about it.

And it seems well known that they operate via the Party in power. The Democrats in the USA right now. They tell the Party bosses that there's many millions of dollars in donations coming their way if they do this or that.

And so it goes.

So there's a bunch of villains. Masquerading as simple businessmen.

The real villains, of course, are the politicians, that Party, which should be following conscience and ideology aimed at the good of the masses and the country and not short term gain for self.

That's about the only bit I am clear on. I'm no scholar or professor finance or something.

Next to that is the existence of such as Blackrock. An investment management company of enormous size it controls billions of dollars and is capable of doing things like the organised purchase of large chunks of a country like Kiev Ukraine, Western Ukraine, while the country is in turmoil.

They too would lobby for a war to continue and they too would try to influence what targets were hit.

They too represent individual oligarchs who're profiting.

But they too are a difficult target to identify and attack, man by man sort of thing.

So it is all very hard to see clearly who is the villain, where they are, how to hit them.

But overall there's no doubt that 'big money' on this side is urging that this be done and 'big money' on the other side is urging something else.

It is obvious there is a struggle between opposing camps of 'big money'.

Rurik Skywalker I think claims the problem is there is no 'struggle' but that they are working in concert to pillage from everyone.

It is too vague and dark and complicated for me to unravel. I could even be persuaded that it is a phantom, it doesn't really exist, nothing to worry about. Maybe. I could maybe be.

But, just in case, I think Oligarchs should be consulted, just as I know Putin consults his, and the scene clarified and if necessary a war plan constructed.

I don't know what Putin says to his when he has the meetings. Maybe he just tells them all what the government is expecting of them as heads of their respective industries and that's all.

I'd expect it to go a little further than that and for them to tell Putin what they know from their own specialised knowledge of what 'the other side' may be hoping to achieve and how it can be stopped.

That sort of thing.

Just trying to explain myself.

Probably failed. Wouldn't be surprised. I'm all too uncertain about it all myself.

Just basically there's big money interests always, always. So I think big money people should be consulted and 'strike forces' or something, so to speak, organised from/with them.

And at that plain and simple level: financiers lending or giving money, well yes, easy obvious targets.
