Banks and Governments (the two ends of the same snake) work in collusion to rob the people, and I don’t mean “rob” in a metaphorically literary sense. I mean “rob” as in STEAL OUTRIGHT. Neither of them can do it alone, so they must pretend to be different entities.
Here’s how it works. The bank (lets say the IMF for example) loans a jillion to a country, but not directly to producers who might use it productively and then pay back the loan and keep assets and wages and profits that it had made with all of that increased production. No, no, no, no! That won’t work at all. No, the jillion must be lent to the GOVERNMENT who can safeguard it and allocate it and oversee and manage and track and properly administrate it so that nothing goes unaccounted for, and so that NONE of it ever winds up in the hands of actual producers. Every penny is “administrated” straight into the wages and compensation packages and fees (i.e. the private pockets), etc. of both the Administrators AND the Lenders. Not a single law is broken, and not a single thing is produced, either. Not to even mention that not single penny of any of it found its way into the pockets of the people who it was ostensibly lent to.
Then the lender then comes calling to collect repayments due on the note, and of course such payment can’t come from any proceeds from increased production because there hasn’t been any! The payment must instead be made by the Government taxing the people half to death and using that. (The gov, bank and administrators get nicely paid for all that paperwork and administrating the repayment funds as well too, by golly!)
Did you catch the grift there? The million bucks got stolen, split up between the Government and the Lender for a myriad of nonsensical reasons of no benefit to anyone except the grifters who took it. Nothing went to the chumps. The chumps then coughed up ANOTHER, seperate, jillion to “repay” the bogus loan which was not really a loan at all (it was just grift payout to the gov and the banks and all of their little helpers.)
As the country slowly (or rapidly) sinks into the sunset of poverty, the bankers come back to buy the country’s assets, resources, etc. (anything that ain’t nailed down) and buy it all up on the cheap with a small part of the jillion that they had just stolen from them.
Sweet way to get something for nothing, with lot’s left over, and on top of all that get paid for doing it. Rinse and repeat until you own, literally OWN, pretty much everything that can be owned. Once the Blob gets to that stage they go to work using that incalculable wealth to own things that CAN’T be owned.
Banks and Governments. A marriage made in Hell. Truly.
