Brian Rose left a successful career as a banker in Wall Street and the City of London to start London Real. His life up to this point had delivered on the promises of his university education at MIT and his personal ambitions, but he felt empty.

So he quit his job and started a podcast to share his journey.

He's got my vote. primarily for that grid on the website with 12 different photos of his face

Let me ask you a question.

What will you tell your grandchildren when they ask:

“What did you do in the greatest financial boom of the 21st century?”

Will you shrug your shoulders?

Will you tell them you collected a salary?

Or, will you describe the empire you created.

I believe that life is all about taking risks, and taking action. That is how I got my degree at MIT, became successful on Wall Street, and built the global media empire that is London Real.

I like to think BIG.

And I want you to think big too.

He wants to put an awful lot of things "first", which suggests a fundamental failure to understand what "first" means.

Just look at that suit! It's the pinstripeiest pinstripe of all time. The very model of the spiv's spiv.

 

[shiels]

It's a very aggressive suit.

 

[Pandiculate]

just went down a rabbit hole on his youtube page, he's certainly got his fans. So many interviews without a shirt on.

He really leveraged the Icke incident. That was the making of him.

Could we collectively put our quite-big-but-not-quite-big-enough brains together to get rich from this corona crisis?

Indeed the engine of capitalist expansion is now oiled by the profits of serious crime. From time to time something is done to give the impression of waging war on the rapidly expanding banking and tax havens. If governments really wanted to, they could right this overnight. But though there are calls for zero tolerance of petty crime and unemployment, nothing is being done about the big money crimes.

Financial crime is becoming less visible, periodically coming to light in one country or another in the guise of scandals involving companies, banks, political parties, leaders, cartels, mafias. This flood of illegal transactions - offences under national law or international agreements - has come to be portrayed as just accidental malfunctions of free market economics and democracy that can be put right by something called "good governance". But the reality is quite different. It is a coherent system closely linked to the expansion of modern capitalism and based on an association of three partners: governments, transnational corporations, and mafias.

Big business complicity and political laissez faire is the only way that large scale organised crime can launder and recycle the fabulous proceeds of its activities. And the transnationals need the support of governments and the neutrality of the regulatory authorities in order to consolidate their positions, increase their profits, withstand or crush the competition, pull of the "deal of the century" and finance their illicit operations.

Whats this from?

It's from a French newspaper it's quoted in the conspiracy book I'm reading. If you are super interested I'll find the exact source.

Crossing the Rubicon. It's one of the best conspiracy books ever written although it's more a factual one than a fantastic one. There's no Satan worshipping pedos in it or anything.
