Google provided me with: "Few Americans know that J.P. Morgan Company began as George Peabody and Company." The article is about Riggs who brought Peabody into the London banking scene. Lots of fun facts about international banking, and the old boy network which could also be called a "financial conspiracy".

They [Republican lackeys] live in a fairyland where American financial dynasties are blissfully disconnected from the CIA leadership, and the major philanthropic foundations and international organizations are exactly what their thin veneer of PR says they are.

Can't really argue with that. I would expect the CIA to need money to pay for operations some of which are designed to produce more money. The philanthropies seem mostly liberal to me, but that's probably because liberals believe in the growth of government which means more money for the CIA.

I'm not sure this tells me anything I didn't already know or suspect.
