Well don’t keep us guessing! What’s the secret cabal owning the financial system, according to your research, and how do they manage to own both the „serious“ business and the funny pages?

My vote goes to the Rockefellers (who are actually psychic mushroom people first discovered in caves about halfway into the hollow earth. This is why they use that last name. The first people they encountered referred to them as "them rock fellers" before they were psychically controlled.)
Those are the Fraggles, common misconception.
Careful, this place can't take a joke, even when it is hilarious.
They’re supposed to come in threes so you know it’s a joke. Damn, I had something about Blackrock.
It's not secret and it's not a cabal.

It's the group of people who benefit from a collusion with governments (by funding politicians campaigns) to get constant protection of their profits through systematic, de facto or explicit, bailouts by central banks, and more generally complacent regulations.

Abolish central banking and have a gold-backed financial system and they mostly disappear. You can't cheat with gold. People who say it's fundamentally unstable and the cause for deflation or whatever have so far not demonstrated that the alternative is any better.

You'll have to be more specific. There are literally millions of people who 'fund politicians campaigns', and many of them have competing interests at stake. Is it your contention that all of these people are in on it, or only a subset?

The U.S. was on the gold standard until 1971, do you have any evidence that there was no government corruption before we made that switch?

The winners?
