They are an asset management corp./ private equity firm. Huge. Run by investment banker types and others high up in the food chain. Located at 1001 Pennsylvania Ave in DC. How convenient...
Carlyle that is...
Do you see the list of current and former partners and advisors ?
Ex-Presidents, CIA, Saudi, Diplomats, Prime Ministers, etc.
Lefties willl say it’s right-wing/defense/bush, etc.
Righties will say it’s just a well-connected private equity firm.
It is what it is; it’s not so much right or left, it’s loaded with financial oligarchy types, where their career focus is on government, diplomacy, defense, etc.
This is a firm with ties to the financial oligarchy that can profit from defense spending and has a tight relationship with U.S. intelligence.
To put it into better perspective you’ve got to read the bio’s of all those top heavy hitters, and in cases like GHW Bush, back a few generations.
Oh, notice in Butterfield the reference to HSBC.
Ding,ding,ding... money laundering alarm bells.
