“The true equation is ‘democracy’ = government by world financiers… The main mark of modern governments is that we do not know who governs, de facto any more than de jure... We see the politician and not his backer; still less the backer of the backer; or what is most important of all, the banker of the backer. Enthroned above all, in a manner without parallel in all past, is the veiled prophet of finance, swaying all men living by a sort of magic, and delivering oracles in a language not understanded of the people.”

Yeah, I was expecting it to be either Teddy Roosevelt or Hitler.

Emerald City was Washington, D.C.; the Wizard, “a little bumbling old man, hiding behind a facade of paper mache and noise, . . . able to be everything to everybody,” was any of the Gilded Age presidents

Trump was obviously unaware of the extent of the swamp. If he had been reelected, there would have been little change. Now everyone can see how pervasive the deep state is, and Trump knows who his friends are.
