Rob Kirby, many thanks for your enlightening talk as usual. Please watch your back, many like you have met a sudden death, something which likely happened to Eric deCarbonnel!
A few points about the US and ESF.
The US has the most appalling track record of any country on the planet, with an unbroken history of crimes against humanity since its inception.
240 years, 70 countries invaded, destroyed and occupied; and every single country on the planet violated in some way from blackmail, bullying, threats, subversion destabilization, black covert ops, assassinations of leaders, dissidents, human rights activists etc, to the formation, funding and importing of ‘rebels’ or ‘oppositions’, aka Death Squads, plus many other unspeakable crimes against humanity.
So no, the US NEVER had anything but the most heinous record as a rogue state; all you need to do is read history or the REAL kind.
The ESF is likely funded, as you say from looted wealth, firstly from the recovered, aka stolen, wealth which the Japs looted from across Asia in their heinous rampage across east Asia in the late 1800s to the end of WWII. This amounted to trillions upon trillions of wealth in Gold, precious stones, artefacts and every kind of valuable which these barbarians under the orders of war criminal Hiroito raped. See ‘Gold Warriors’ by the Seagraves.
Then of course the trading in a rigged market is by its very nature profitable, so the ESF must have raped trillions upon trillions from productive citizens during the course of its sordid existence, while the banksters, being in on the loop will equally profiteer from this nefarious racketeering in the suppression/rigging crime.
