Repeatedly over the many decades, we have observed incipient tactics employed by both corporations and individuals, who had the unfortunate behavior of believing press reports favorable of them. In America, just a few years ago, their was ‘Enron Corporation’, a Texas energy company, who was apparently too self-assured of its self-importance that it ran afoul of the law and was penalized according by the U.S. Government.
In Britain, a few years ago, Publisher Robert Maxwell, appeared so self-confident of his infallibility, his empire collapsed. He physically perished, in a drowning accident, so all of the lawsuits against him were not witnessed by this man.
In South America, rampant bribery to some political leaders in the area, by Brazil’s Odebrecht Corporation, has shamed many people who thought their ill-gotten gains would remain secret. Many of the miscreants were imprisoned. The “Panama Papers” exposure voided their secrecies. There are NO long term secrets.
Today, in America, for example, their are many Washington, D.C. politicians who ‘entered the game’ with mere dollars in their wallets, and will exit as multi-millionaires. Certainly their salaries approaching $200,000.00 a year (plus benefits) are not responsible for their great accumulations. One may assume that their ”Information Disconnected”[due to U.S. Laws] makes their spouses ‘Miraculous Money Mavens Making Meritorious Moves’ in the world of high finance? Maybe a ‘timely’ great inheritance from Uncle Wilbur? Will any be prosecuted for corruption? Perhaps not.
As we learn of spectacular largesse by San Jose, California’s ‘Silicon Valley’ [SV] nabobs in giving away hundreds of millions of dollars, merely to ensure voter participation in elections, we cannot but be in awe of such munificence. We must wonder which of the Puppet Masters’ Masters formulated the amounts and to whom, for these [Non-Governmental Operations (NGO’s) they OWN? One merely has to research the individuals and legal entities in the various SV “Pre-Initial Public Offerings” to find, what one finds.
As International Businessmen, who have been, over the decades, here, there, and everywhere, we would advise the large Dire Wolves [Beneficiary Governments]: “Do not overplay the hands of your mere Puppet Masters in Silicon Valley. Enjoy the financial success you have attained with your brilliant Chess moves. However, realize, these young ‘Front-Men’ of yours are not credible to people who have ‘been around the block several times’. You do not want to try to repeat the readily ascertainable ‘Silent Coup of 2020’; for you, the situation then may become dire. Your ‘Front Men’ should take early retirements, for everyone’s benefit; their and yours.
The larger the Dire Wolf became, the harder is was for him to adapt, and quickly move in his changing environment. Now he is extinct. Such is the fate of Dire Wolves who become too big for the world. They will perish, one by one; guaranteed.
Reality: Getting burnt once or twice can even make a Wolf afraid of fire.
