that is believable
and has a systemic explanation
if you are the ruling party (republican, democrat, christian this, islamic that, social somethingelse, liberal, or conservative, or communist whatever), and you know you eventually have to go the way of the Kuomintang, and implement political pluralism ala Taiwan province, suppose
then you realize you must plan for the dawn of TeoTwawKi, when perhaps even you must go begging cup in hand, to the middle class and garner support
for the inevitable transition, you would want to have a leg, arm, elbow, fist, ad foot up on the newbie competitions
how to do that ...
in taiwan, korea, japan, etc etc etc, national assets were privatized and/or otherwise sent into private, semi-private foundations, companies, enterprises, etc, and through the network, your boyz would be put in place of rule over large corporations, banks, insurance companies, construction outfits, and naturally, most natural resource operations ... think goldman sachs, halliburton, archer daniel midland, etc
gold is money
gold must be had
gold is good, the more the better, now best than later, in your pocket rather than their vault
as i had posted back in 2001, watch the gold market reform in china, and watch the politics
you know this stuff already, for you are a believer in "follow the money, go where it goes" |
