"Historic responsibility has to make up for the want of legal responsibility.
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." - Lord Acton.

Human thought follows particular paths, so when confronted by an unknown, people try
to visualise it via the familiar.  I have referred to my quarry as "The Creature".
There are other similar names, Danny Casolaro refers to "The Octopus" in his
investigation. Here, Joël van der Reijden prefers "La Nebuleuse".[1]

"Subject: Criminal organization (Russian mafia and related)"

"To comprehend this nebula, it is necessary to abandon traditional financial or political logic; this is not merely a question of nation, political party, or of ordinary economics... Our conclusion would be that at least over the last twenty years, the economic powers, some of which mafia types, have allied themselves with political forces and organized criminal structures, and reached the 4th stage of money laundering, namely, Absolute Power. It has been specified to us that at the present moment these characters control 50% of the world economy."
     
Introduction of a Belgian gendarmerie report to a number of senior officials, District of Liege, November 21, 1994. (emphasis from report)
/unquote

In earlier posts I set out the dimensions of The Creature: Immunity from prosecution;
Information asymmetry, especially hidden wealth; Centralized control via specialized
computer systems; Private paramilitary forces; and Weaponized financial instruments.

The 1994 Belgian report suggests a different order within the known world. That there
exists an estate entirely separated from normal life, and one that can kill with impunity.

Of necessity, I've been selective in the information presented thus far, and concentrated
on how the financial sector has grown. It's difficult to read many of the stories attached
to the outworkings of these systems, as for example, that shown in the work of Joël van der
Reijden. It is clear that action without consequence or conscience is corrosive. Nassim
Taleb's "And don't give up on logic, intellect and education, because a tight but higher
order logical reasoning would show that the logic of advocating regime changes implies
also advocating slavery." [2] comes nowhere close to exposing the horrors that unrestrained
deviant behaviour brings in this report. [1] A separate world exists with different mores,
different standards of behaviour.

It is, however, seemingly acceptable for Treasury Secretary Paulson to "dry heave" on
learning that UK Chancellor Darling refused Barclay's purchase of Lehman Brothers thus
avoiding adding ~$200Bn to the UK ~$50Bn taxpayer black hole of 2008. No such concerns were
evident in the fictional WWIII of Dr Strangelove, and I doubt that President Trump
reached for the wastepaper basket before ordering 60 cruise missiles to strike Syria,
despite the risks of a direct conflict with Russia. Such concerns, or lack thereof, give
some insight to the inner savoir-faire of The Creature. George Carlin's "It's a big Club,
and You ain't in it" resonates.     

In trying to gather these threads together, there seems to be no centre, no guiding
principle, except an overwhelming desire for secrecy and to preserve the status quo.
Quoting Joël van der Reijden, ""Nebula" leader Felix Przedborski lived next-door to
Yeltsin-era oligarchs Boris Berezovsky and business partner Badri Patarkatsishvili.
Both were Zionists, long-time patrons of Putin, and linked to the Chechen mafia.
For details, go here. Almost certainly it was Mossad Colonel Yair Klein who protected
Przedborski."[2} Danny Casolaro and Cheri Seymour's investigations lead to individuals
at the US Department of Justice, specific companies in the MIC, and to the CIA.[3]
Eric DeCarbonnel exposes the Treasury's, Wall Street's,and the CIA's complicity in a series
of events relating to what at first sight seems to be the criminal financing of abusive
behaviour. Sterling and Peggy Seagrave add Japan's War Criminals to the list of people acting
above and outside the Law.[4] Kay Griggs reveals assassinations were carried out by serving
and by retired US servicemen, on the instructions of some higher authority. [5]

Perhaps unrelated to this, except for a shared suffering, is the weaponization of Refugees:
"Our team takes a peek behind the curtain to find the root causes for why and how millions
of people are migrating from war torn countries, and who benefits. We also examine the
history and context of synthetically-created refugee crises since 1951." [6]

It is impossible to calculate how differently things might have gone if the US Government
had come clean on its handling of the looted WWII treasure. It's interesting to compare the
secret manipulation of material matters in what is supposedly a Capitalist Economy, with
the anxious concern to track every bitcoin transaction, when State Secrets may be doing
so much damage by the misallocation if resources?
