Yes, I know about the banks. I think they figure in there somewhere. I think it's actually much more complicated than what I said. I said that the top executives of some of the global corporations are the kings, because they're the ones who decide how to use most of the earth's natural and human resources, but kings in the past didn't always make their own decisions. Sometimes they were playthings for their mother or their minister or some Rasputin, someone who had a hold on them psychologically. I don't know who the top decision makers really are. Banking is one of the global industries, so whoever its top decision makers really are, might count as kings in my picture. The ones who profit the most from ravaging and re-building are the weapons, construction, mercenary and banking industries. I'm not sure how it all fits together. There might be layers and layers of decoys and camouflage. I don't think that the rulers themselves really understand how it all works. Some of the manipulators might. Is that where you think the banks fit in? I don't think we really need to know all the details. Just that things are far from what they look like in media stories. Speaking of the media, it looks to me like the media provide some of the same services for the rulers that religious institutions did in the past.
