The Network Of Wealth And Power Across The Globe
The latest tranche of the Epstein Files released has revealed how far the tentacles of right wing wealth and power reach across the world. Bill Shorten, the favourite whipping boy of the Australian Right, along with being falsely accused of past union corruption had Clive Palmer spending big on attack ads during the last week of the 2019 federal election. Steve Bannon, Donald Trump’s former campaign director, is claiming to Jeffrey Epstein that he advised Clive Palmer on this matter. Those on the Right are, as we know, terrible liars, and Epstein and Bannon are both headline acts in this regard. Taking credit for stuff is what these guys do. Whatever the factuality of this matter it reveals the network of wealth and power across the globe.
RBA Funding Right Wing Think Tanks Downunder
The RBA, our central bank, had been funding right wing think tanks for decades since 2006. These think tanks promoted neoliberalism and anti-unionism downunder. The RBA did not fund any progressive think tanks on the other side of politics. This exposes the reality that this Aussie institution is not politically impartial.
“In New Zealand, there is now a conversation about an organisation called Atlas Network and whether or not it has influenced the right-bloc government’s agenda. Atlas Network is a registered not-for-profit organisation headquartered in Washington DC and it is attracting attention because it receives donations from wealthy people and their foundations.”
“And in 2020, the RBA said it had been paying the Centre for Independent Studies, and the Sydney Institute, $20,000 a year each since 2006 to support their work, but it hadn’t provided similar support to left-leaning think tanks.”

Why does the RBA, this independent body, reckon it is OK to fund right wing influencers in Australia? In light of this should we be entrusting our central bank with the role of independent economic umpire? Neoliberalism and anti-unionism, over the last 30 years in Australia, have played a large role in the rampant inflation within our residential property market. They don’t like to call it inflation, but what else can it be when liquidity and demand chase scarcity of supply, thus pushing up prices by some 340% over the last 3 decades? The CGT discount and negative gearing are all policies, which have overheated the residential property investment market. Former PM John Howard oversaw much of these policies and the acceleration of neoliberalism downunder.
Jeffrey Epstein, Kevin Rudd & Peter Mandelson
Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and sex trafficker of underage girls for rich men, had his tentacles into everything across the globe. There are references to Epstein sticking his appendage into the Rudd government’s plan to impose a tax on the super profits of mining corporations during the Aussie mining boom. Once again Epstein claims credit for advising corporate interests to go hard against such a measure. Peter Mandelson, the former Labour minister and British Ambassador to the US for a short time, was involved in this tactical move of wealth and power in opposition to the Australian federal government. The network of wealth and power across the globe in action protecting billionaires against the interests of the people.
“Newly released documents reveal UK politician Peter Mandelson wrote to Jeffrey Epstein in 2010 about a campaign against the Rudd government’s proposed mining super profits tax.
Lord Mandelson shared with Epstein an email from Xstrata’s then-boss, Mick Davis, who said his company was “directly attacked by the Australian prime minister”.
In the email, the politician suggests an approach to the tax, saying, “You do not want to turn it into an issue of ‘who governs Australia’ … elected representatives or the mining companies”. “
Rich men pulling together to campaign against paying tax on super profits downunder. In Australia, we have seen how multinational corporations will do anything to avoid paying their fair share of tax. The PwC betrayal of the Australian federal government by divulging tax change’s information to its corporate clients in direct contravention of its responsibilities to the government. This was really treasonous behaviour, but once again the protection payment racket meant no criminal prosecution was undertaken. This boy’s club continues to let down the Australian people who expected to see heads roll.
Dirty Deeds Done For Profit & Influence
Jeffrey Epstein imbues that ‘dirty deeds done dirt cheap’ ethos via his behaviour in collusion with Vladimir Putin. The cabal of scumbag billionaires and oligarchs, which includes Donald Trump, Putin, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Bill Gates, Howard Lutnick, and a cast of thousands, operates the network of wealth and power across the globe. They have their tentacles in everything, it seems. Young girls for sex is only an appetiser for Epstein and Co. Dirty deals done to maximise profit and pay no tax feeds these monsters their meat and potatoes on a daily basis. Names like Richard Branson, Deepak Chopra, Noam Chomsky, Woody Allen, Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Steve Tisch, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and many more make you realise the depravity of American elite culture. Israel is writ large across the Epstein Files and its corruption plays a big part of what Jeffrey Epstein was up to. Money, sex and power.
Only The Wealthy Matter
“This statement has been the overwhelming meta narrative running through human political history forever. I studied ancient history for many years and this was true in ancient Greek and Roman civilisations too. The aristocracy has always seen itself as the only thing that really mattered. Only the wealthy matter is top of the bill in Trump’s America right now. The evidence for this is manifest in multiple places. Trump’s big beautiful bill cut taxes for billionaires and slashed spending on the poor. The Trump cabinet is populated by more billionaires than ever seen before. Big Tech oligarchs lined up to kiss the ring of President Donald Trump at his inauguration. Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, inserted himself into the Trump administration via DOGE to garner attention on this stage. The messaging is clear – only the wealthy really matter.”
