Her er en interessant oversikt over de fremste av de som styrer verdens gang:
Klubben deres heter The Financial Stability Board (FSB). Dette er verdens finanselite. Det er et fantastisk godt multi-kulturelt, multi-religiøst og multi-politisk fellesskap. Her er alle gode venner og glade i hverandre. Muslimer, jøder, hinduer, “kristne”, ateister, sosialister, kommunister, fascister og kapitalister omfavner hverandre og og erklærer sin store kjærlighet til hverandre og gleder seg i sin felles tro (på Mammon).
Man skal lete godt for å finne Norge blant verdens maktelite. De bryr seg ikke om Norges neste statsminister heter Jonas eller Siv eller Erna. Heller ikke bryr de seg om Norge blir med i EU. De styrer Norge like godt enten landet er medlem eller ikke. De allers fleste av dem vet sikkert ikke hvem Jonas og Siv og Erna er. Hareide har de nok aldri hørt om. Norske politikere er uinteressante for verdens maktelite.
Israel ser også ut til å være svært dårlig representert i klubben. Men for anti-semittister og Holocaust-fornektere er det jøder som bestemmer musikken og dirigerer hele orkesteret.
Fra FSB’s hjemmeside:
The Financial Stability Board (FSB) has been established to address vulnerabilities and to develop and implement strong regulatory, supervisory and other policies in the interest of financial stability.
It comprises senior representatives of national financial authorities (central banks, regulatory and supervisory authorities and ministries of finance), international financial institutions, standard setting bodies, and committees of central bank experts.
Mario Draghi, Governor of the Banca d'Italia, chairs the FSB in a personal capacity. The Board is supported by a small secretariat based at the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland.
