I come across items from time to time, of which I don’t know what to make. Conspiracy theorists make something of them. Not tending to be one, I file them in the back of my mind and await more information.
The latest is, a prominent German journalist discussing how intelligence agencies manage the media, whether by perks, bribes, help in writing stories (which are thus ‘planted’ stories), or harassment and retaliation on journalists who don’t co-operate. The implication is that our biased media is managed, not only by the political Left, but by the U.S. and other governments.
Another is this year’s spate of deaths among mid-level bankers (previously mentioned here). Most of them are officially suicides, but it’s an odd cluster; the more so as the last few years have been great for the financial sector. Whether these deaths are murders (to cover up something) or genuine suicides by the despondent, either way they would suggest a banking system much worse off than is generally believed.
Finally, there’s this chart:
The first implication is that, while the Taliban’s rule of Afghanistan in 2001 was repressive, at least they shut down heroin production. The darker-minded might also suggest that wealthy narcotics interests (and by extension, banking interests?) were particularly offended by the Taliban and eager to see them go. Which, if true, could make Afghanistan at least partly (apart from the al Qaeda/9-11 aspect) a modern-day Opium War.
P.S. If you want to help make sense of any of these in the comments, be my guest!
I guess you forgot that when Clinton went no holds barred on the indigenous Serbs they where trying to kick out illegal alien mulsim drug dealers. There by forming the Islamic Narco State Kosovo. Muslim groups wouldn’t repress their money crops.
The US has long paid journalists in other nations to write puff pieces favorable to US policy. Its probably the most benign thing the US does.
The suicides would be raw speculation, like someone saying that the beheading of 3 male neighbors of the Boston marathon brothers , might be connected to the “religion of pieces”. They might have been possible whistleblowers. Companies can take out life insurance policies on employees which is a 2nd amendment issue for pharmacists at drug stores that don’t let them carry. Are any of the ones committing suicide kosher? Many if financial sectors hope for market crashes and bubble bursts as that is when the most wealth can be made by those that stab the bubble in the back at the right time like Soros.
I meant many in financial sectors, but pieces is correct
Weren’t there rumors of Clinton helping out some drug cartels while governor?
Nothing would surprise me regarding Afghanistan. Obama and his crew do seem to be snorting something.
While its not gay did you notice the “hitting a hard wall” of running out of cheap Chinese labor.
