It's about owning the only printing press to print money. That is, the "taking off blinders" is just code for "picking the deepest pockets".
The greedy will always be with us.
Gold is a curative for these grifters too. That is, if we had a gold standard and a distributed money supply -- rather than the beltway monopoly that has now develped -- grifters like these would not. Would not have this particular type of whole national extortion. They'd have to use more mass-market grifts. With gold, we'd have democracy in action, even amoung the grifters.
The grifters are always with us. Too.
However in Government and quasi-government office (the UN) they are indemnified and held to less of a standard. And with 110% fiat money as the standard measure -- the grifters are powerfully drawn, irresistibly drawn to tne ONLY well of money. DC. The Federal Deep Pockets.
Not only the Statue Law wil be perverted, and is perverted to their grifts, but now all "officially approved" Laws of Nature of Science must fit the grift.
Not unlike the Church before Galileo Galilee. Facts are franchisable when the realm has only one coin and crushed any apposed.
All Hail the State Church and it's Canons of Laws Legal and Natural!
