Some people make it their life’s journey to uncover conspiracies and connect every little event to every other event, and in times like this, it is very easy to make up whatever connections between different elites and events one could ever want. To analyze finance, and the pretty direct connection between diminishing returns and global elites cooking up crackpot, delusional plans to take over the world, means people like me do not really fall far from the tree of conspiracy. However, I do not look at it through the lens of an elaborate, evil, satanic cabala who’s hellbent on taking over the world. Far from it. The financial forces behind politics and certain events are nothing more than reacting in simple survival for their shareholders.
