Great comment.

Refreshing contrast to the murmuring misdirections away from the man behind the curtain as if he didn't exist.

"Wealth of nations" springs to mind, and how much the Rothschild empire was worth in 1900...

Some seem not even looking to the likes of the BIS, or... or even to any power players, other than those puppets that are loudly presented to them.

... Like (if this isn't too much of a poetic mangle of metaphors) the fish oblivious to water, they're kept degrees of separation away from realising the condition and context of the water, like that they're in a polluted sea of misinformation where everybody's a shill, and that flocking together in confirmation biased shoals echo-chambering to boost confidence in naive-realist stubbornly-held narratives isn't sound epistemology to help them help the situation. Could be time to climb on out of the water and evolve.
