By Matthew Ehret With idle tales this fills our empty ears; The next reports what from the first he hears; The rolling fictions grow in strength and size, Each author adding to the former lies. Here vain credulity, with new desires, Leads us astray, and groundless joy inspires;
Thank you very much for this, Matthew. I connects the dots for me between the Venetian bankers and the British, and gives important background for what we see today. What is scary to me is that the madness coming out of D.C. is driven by ideologues (the neocons) more than by the oligarchs. If we can avoid nuclear war until November, Trump's re-election will put saner people in charge. Clearly neither Putin nor Xi wants war with the West, but the crazies in charge here are only to happy to continue to provoke them.
It's curious how you bring up people of which I have recently been reading about, in the Memoires of my great granduncle Robert Nathaniel Greene, there is a part refering to Jonathan Swift related to the
family through the Rochford sisters and that he was somewhat excentric but very amiable with women and children
