The Economist once again shows how partisan it is.

Together the Agnelli and Rothschild families, own over 60% of the shares. The magazine claims ownership doesn't influence opinion, but the article reeks of TDS.

The Agnelli family is now run by a Jew, John Elkann. Everyone already knows who the Rothschilds are. This would seem to be important when discussing Trump's actions in the Middle East, especially his relationship with Israel. A web search of "Agnelli Crime Family" on Duck Duck Go, returns a number of interesting headlines. A Google search returns "mafia" in a couple of links.

I have no interest in pursuing this further. I am already convinced that all the Oligarchs on this planet maintain ties to organized crime. Anyone else recall "Boardwalk Empire" when Nucky met with Joseph P. Kennedy? Aaron Good has a new series about Meyer Lansky and his relationship to the FBI and US federal government and the murder of JFK. Unfortunately one has to be a subscriber to watch it. Considering the high quality of Goods "Empire and the Deep State" series (on YouTube and other outlets) I'm considering subscribing.

Let us all remember that correlation does not prove causation. I subscribe to the caution Snowden expressed in his Apophenia article, but that doesn't mean I'm blind.

In the end, nothing about US policy is going to change. It's just the Oligarchy arguing in public about which alliances they will form and which of their fellow members will be "taken out". Makes one appreciate Xi and Putin all the more.
