      During trump’s first term, there was a banking thing that came up. I can’t find it in any of my bookmarks. Basically, there is an organization in the UK that sets the bank rates for the US and them, maybe more. I can’t remember all of the details, but it was four letters and I think started with a B? It made me realize that we never really came out from under the crown. He who controls the money, controls everything. Trump is testing that, trying to give it to russia.

        You may be speaking about LIBOR, I believe that’s relevant internationally though mostly locally? If not that, Exchange rates and currency manipulation is alive and thriving.
