I was on the asset management side at Citi. I probably shouldn't say much more than that. I left when I figured out how corrupt the system really is.
When I got into the business, there was a barrier between the Wall Street Banks and DC. It was frowned upon for the government to get involved in the private sector. That changed very quickly in 2008 when the Banks had to go to Congress hat-in-hand to remain solvent.
Now the two work hand in hand, as the politicians ensure massive liquidity is in the system so the Banks can continue their usurious ways and make sure no banker ever goes to jail. When they do catch someone, they end up negotiating a settlement that comes out of shareholders pockets and ends up in the pockets of politically favored NGO's or other connected entities.
So what do the politicians get? The usual grift, but there was much more.
Obama got elected as a huge influx of campaign contributions showed up that weekend and a ton of favorable coverage and polls appeared to sway public opinion.
Beyond that, this ushered in the age of the richest corporations working hand-in-hand with the White House to enact their social and economic goals they now had in common. All Obama had to do was convince them that he wasn't a radical socialist who would actually threaten their existence and was instead very much for sale to the highest bidder.
Obama promised no real regulation and in return worked in partnership with the richest corporations in the world to destroy his political opponents.
Since then, wealth accumulation was concentrated in the top 1% at the expense of everyone else. It was only under Trump where the middle class started to stage a comeback, and that just couldn't be allowed.
This was always about naked power and greed, and the corruption became institutionalized; that's the moral hazard we warned about.
I see. I understand. What are you doing now, investigative journalism or becoming an IT-Expert?
Thanks for the wonderful explanation. It amazes me the lack of character, morals, ethics and principles that exist, even with a man like Obama.
You know, how the top brass in the military, courts and media can be this corrupt.
So, what is their social and economic goals, Nazism/Fascism? I know Reagan warned us about it in a 1975 in 60 Minutes interview, under the title of "If Fascism ever comes to America, it will come under the umbrella of Liberalism".
I manage money for a handful of people and dabble some in consulting for startups, but I'd much rather just be teaching scuba diving.
I think maybe the reason we have so much corruption at the top of society these days is due to the perverse incentives. When hiring a CEO, the one who is best for your stock price is the one who knows how best to spend money lobbying for political carve-outs. Same concept applies across government and military. It's long been an issue, but the Obama admin put this into overdrive.
For many of these people, it's just all about power, wealth, and prestige. There is no higher purpose.
The bigger question is whether there are others orchestrating this who do have a very specific purpose that does not have the greater welfare of people as a priority. I suggest there are, and they've been at this for a long time.
Well, fortunate had it that you didn't let $$$ or ego drive you into becoming the CEO of CITI Group, which you may well could have, if you had the potential and interest of course. But you went your own way and took destiny into your own hands. You've earned my respect.
Well, we know Soros played a huge role into getting Obama elected according to the Wikileak emails, or at least everything behind his entire campaign. We know Soros' money/funds also ended up in the pockets of McCain ... and likely more RINOS etc. So, he funds both sides of the aisles.
We know Soros loved working for the Nazis and it was his happiest time. No matter fellow Jews were sent off into camps etc. and confiscating their properties and belongings. So, maybe, as Reagan was arguing in the 70s, why he campaigned, became President and "reversed" the order of things, is exactly because of wanting to turn the US into this big Government, big corporations and everything intertwined from the CIA, FBI, Military and NSA way of life. Where "life" itself has a second place and meaning, including human freedom, enlightenment and opportunity.
Thanks for the kind words. I've enjoyed our conversation.
Soros is behind plenty that is wrong in this world. Buying off both parties in an election is exactly his M.O. I sure hope we get to find out who, if anyone, is behind (or above) him.
Someone staked him with his initial fortune. I've read a few versions of who that was, but have never been convinced one way or the other. My best guess is Rothschilds, but that requires buying into a much deeper storyline.
