Recognize these ancient greedy parasites who seek profit, no matter the suffering it causes. Everyone they touch through their bribery, blackmail and manipulation is destroyed.
They extract wealth by any means necessary, leaving broken towns and broken people behind in their wake.
Then they slink back into the shadows, working through corporations and legalities pushed to the edge of what is permitted, then brandishing outrage as a means of acquiring even more.
Hear me! Know the enemies of humanity and do not let them corrupt us. Steer clear of groups such as Elliott Management and prevent their slithering into your city. For many have suffered from their vampiric financial techniques in human manipulation.

I may not be a part of consort circles but my eye sees that they would not take kindly to those who dox business affiliates. It is... a conflict of interest. Respect the man's words in shadow. For his sake and a headache.
As for Mr. Singer. The value of coin over life comes with eventual cost. He will certainly get a bill that he will not be able to afford in the end. That is if he so happens to miss his jump of prolong-ship. There will be no coin or goods that will save one from such a toll.
This is nothing new explained by Him to many. A worshiped house of coin comes with its own unique death.

I've thought of a reply to this much of the day. You see what many do not, the absolute danger such information entails to those who share it freely. These are amongst the greatest secrets of our world. And yet it must be shared, or we haven't a hope of jumping this infernal fence of our containment. And so we carry on, come what may, in this small place among others.
As to the activities of these horrific financial predators, I have spent the last three and a half years in stupendous outrage, shaking my fist in the air and wagging my tongue in righteous indignation. The condemnation seems in vain. They do not hear me with fingers pressed into their ears. They are like the thief on the cross who hurled insults at the One as they hung there, dying, rejecting His Lordship and sacrifice.
To watch our people suffer obliviously is painful. The Consortium is quite hidden, their methods so effective, their deceits well practiced.
But we are not stupid, just inexperienced with this level of malevolence. Once the patterns are observed well enough, they are recognizable and avoidable. Yet we must do more.
We must stop them by bringing their misdeeds into the light for all to see, to shame them and arrest them like Weinstein or Epstein, or at minimum reduce their influence. The financial misdeeds, like the sexual perversions, are vulgar and unacceptable. If their practices are not illegal as of now, they should be made so. That is the least we should do. Tossing out from office those they've bought must happen too.
As Edmund Burke said, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Just 162 Billionaires Have The Same Wealth As Half Of Humanity
https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/billionaires-inequality-oxfam-report-davos-000100861.html
Wonder how 162 people can own the same wealth as half of humanity? It's hard to fathom. There are 7.7 billion people in the world, half of which are 3 billion, 850 million people, whose total wealth equals the same as 162 individuals?
This kind of wealth is obscene. Obtaining it, and retaining it, requires a lack of empathy and greed beyond measure. It means believing yourself to be entitled, even deserving of it, because you are superior than everyone else. It's hard to imagine such narcissism.
What does one do with such wealth? The first rule in great fortunes is seeking a way to retain it. That means avoiding taxes, profit sharing and legislation that could impact it's growth. Because the one thing the wealthiest like to do is become even more wealthy.
Money is used to buy political favors, strong arming, and bribery through lobbyists and political action committees. Donations to these groups are unrestricted, thus wealthy people can use them to make politicians beholden to them for their jobs. And democracy fades.
Not all of these wealthy individuals live in democracies, but they still need government to leave them alone in order to keep on profiting. In these cases, outright bribery occurs, threats and blackmail.
Wealthy people are targeted for hand outs. In order to save face and reputations, some money must be set aside, or "promised" to some causes that seem worthy. However, often these are limited actions, or monies are placed in restricted trusts fully controlled and used as cover in order to receive a non-profit status. The percent of actual wealth turned over is quite low.
Some might say those who worked hard and climbed their way to the top deserve their wealth. I would agree, some wealth is earned. Yet most extreme wealth comes from vampiric like blood letting from the financial lives of those who work for them. Those at the bottom work hard so those at the top don't have to. Companies are taken over, pensions lost, jobs sent overseas, people laid off or put on lower salaries or required to work part time. It's vulture capitalism and so very immoral.
If just 10% of the money spent on defense budgets world wide went to eradicate hunger and poverty, the people of the world could be uplifted.
If 10% went to helping clean up and repair the planet, the plants and animals, land and waters could be healed too.
We aren't going to be able to guilt sociopaths into doing the right thing. But we can limit their wealth to reasonable amounts and not allow them power to cheat and steal from us anymore.
We don't have to accept this flagrant disregard for humanity that these few "people" demonstrate. We are becoming wage and credit slaves to them. They won't stop until there is nothing left but a few powerful, rich kings and the rest of us poor, powerless peasants if we allow this to continue.
These greedy parasites infect our world and must be stopped.
