RE: Guaranteed Profit
Well I am in my early 20s. So I'm pretty young. I agree with all your points. But I believe these elites/families are still acting based on pre-selection. basically it's like picking up girls in a club. None of these people ca fully engineer a situation. Even the greatest PUA can be made to look like a looser with a change of location and types of girls present. There are too many variables involved and a global conspiracy would work as well as or slightly better than a centrally planned economy. Trump election is a great example of this. Even magazine covers were printed for the Hillary presidency. There is only so much control you have with pushing some buttons. Even Distributed Ledger Technology is a similar case. BTC price was very cleverly and methodically suppressed. At best we'd have another month of this suppression and before the end of the year, we could see 1 Trillion USD marketcap for cryptos.
articularly for families that have been in the war profiteer business for generations, it's rather formulaic and simple
Certainly people become capable of such gambits through initially taking advantage of opportunities that arise spontaneously, and that is how they learn to generate them, while continuing at all times to seize such advantages as appear.
I've seen armies of neurologists and psychologists analyzing multiplayer games and companies investing hundreds of millions of dollars with the intention of creating the next global mega-hit. The only time it worked in recent times was Blizzard's Overwatch. The rest failed and those that became global phenomenons were small developments that spontaneously and organically found success.
I fully agree with all your points except for successful generation of these kind of events. I'm not saying they aren't trying. They should be trying a lot. But I doubt they have even a 10% success rate in creating from scratch and maintaining a conspiracy like event.
BTW Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins was a great read I randomly stumbled upon few years ago.
Thanks for the reply :-)
Lions on the Serengeti have a success rate. Not all of their attempts to take prey succeed. Most of the time they fail. They only need to succeed once a week or so.
The same with financial predators. It's like investing in ICOs. When a successful ICO produces several orders of magnitude gains, it becomes simply a numbers game, and investing in every ICO results in profit when but one percent of investments actually pans out.
The news is full of failed ops that are attempts to manufacture profitable business opportunities. They only need to succeed once a generation, and can fail an unlimited number of times between successes.
it's a numbers game in that regard.
Now this I totally agree with.
