This one seems like a particularly dark and grisly thriller. At first it was just a few rubbish light entertainers. Then it was a lot more entertainers. Then we had people muttering about the political establishment – and others counter-muttering don’t be ridiculous, that’s a conspiracy theory. But it wasn’t. Now, it’s a slow-motion train crash and an endless series of glacial government inquiries.

A pretty good summation of the fix we're in because of the a$$hole$ running the world.

These days conspiracy theories don’t look so crazy and conspiracy theorists don’t look like crackpots. In fact, today’s conspiracy theory is tomorrow’s news headlines. It’s tempting, I suppose, to say we live in a golden age of conspiracy theories, although it’s only really golden for the architects of the conspiracies. From the Iraq war to Fifa to the banking crisis, the truth is not only out there, but it’s more outlandish than anything we could have made up.

“Blood is spilled and treasure is spent.”

Who started this whole “blood and treasure” talking point? Those specific words, repeated ad nauseum.

More recently, Iraq, now in a far worse state than it ever was under any dictator,

Can't be. The Left isn't protesting anymore and said that US leadership over Iraq was worse than Saddam being in charge, raping women, disemboweling wives, and lopping off the hands of prisoners.

Does it really take an investigative genius to figure out there was something wrong with these guys?

Sorry to hear it. FF on 8.1 works OK for me.

Who started this whole “blood and treasure” talking point? Those specific words, repeated ad nauseum.

We’ve seen the phrase “blood and treasure” a lot lately, but it’s an age-old poetic expression meaning “lives and money.” It’s generally been used in reference to the high price of war or conquest.

The expression seems to have been fairly common in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The earliest references we’ve been able to find appeared in the 1640s.

Passages from the proceedings of the House of Lords include “the Blood and Treasure that hath been spent” (1646) and, reversing the formula, “with great Expence both of their Treasure and Blood” (1643).
