The Consortium, the Quorum, the alien interface, depicted in 'romantic' fiction - what the heck?!

I definitely think JBP may be onto something. Maybe that's why this sort of fiction is so popular during these times: women are using it to calm their fears in the face of chaos and hoping that reality can be tamed the same way they imagine taming a 'beast'.
The thing is, except in rare cases, I don't think that is a very likely or practical view of things. We have some knowledge and experience of 'dangerous men' thanks to Sandra Brown and others.
Yeah, I get the feeling that the popularity of such a theme has more to do with the times we live in than an inherent archetypal ideal that women hold. I'd guess it's likely that most women throughout time would probably not have idealized a total pushover of a guy, but the focus in recent times on the idea of dominance hierarchies and 'bad boys turned good' might be something of an adjustment to the environment. On top of a probably more natural and healthy desire of women to seek out a hero type figure, there is all of the programming, familial as well as societal, that determines how to do that and what a hero is. And, since the main theme of that programming today seems to be materialism, survival of the fittest in common terms etc. you get billionaires and vampires snagged by beauty, feels, and no good reason. If you add to that several generations of families broken in a particular way and rampant narcissism, creating daddy issues galore, a recipe for trying to 'save' or be saved by an errant father figure, and then throw in some pathological romanticizing or rationalizing propaganda, it is a recipe for a whole lotta suffering. That's not even to mention a generalized mass sensing of, and possible attempt to correct symbolically, the relationship between the male and female essential energies planet wide. Why on earth would women be so taken with the idea of finding their power by reflection from a powerful man or by taming and wielding his power rather than by finding her own?
There have been many tales and myths of daring do by heroes in regards to ladies, why should it be that Beauty and the Beast was selected as so popular for this time? Why not the Odyssey? Or even Snow White?

Perhaps its something to do with the character of Belle. In the original Beauty and the Beast, she is a good and obedient daughter. Disney changed her character into a feminist heroine. Disney has a massive responsibility for creating female role models for girls and the agenda behind the princess/heroine programming is still not fully assessed. This programming could form a firm base when women start to form romantic attachments.

Real world 'Georgia Le Carre'-event
Russian billionaire buys most expensive private jet – reports
As if I read it straight from a Georgia Le Carre novel. Added intrigues, mafia story twists.. I'm sorry, I'm worse than a gossip-loving grandmother, when it comes to Consortium / hidden society news.
Reading The Wave the other day, came across this form Hare (1999), during an interview with serial killer Elmer Wayne Henley:

Abramovich is a family name commonly found among Ashkenazi Jews.

Interesting coincidence that another famous person with similar last name, Serbian performance artist Marina Abramovic, is linked to Tony Podesta, who is her friend and collector and has been invited to her "spirit cooking" meals. Podesta is linked to pizzagate.
The artist herself does creepy performance art including creating a dinner meal that looks like a human corpse. She was featured in a Microsoft Hololens ad, which was a weird choice as I don't see much commercial appeal in her to market a tech gadget. The ad was pulled after many people raised their objections to her creepy actions.

I've really enjoyed this thread. It has been enlightening to say the least for a non-fiction sort of guy. (I tend to read only the highly-recommended and/or classics in fiction). I've been reading a short non-fiction piece about mystery writing or rather "The Mystery" in writing itself, the author herself writes historic fiction. I am often reminded of this thread while reading it, and thought I'd pass it along:

Thanks to Laura, in one of Georgia Le Carre's books we have been acquainted with the news that the Forbes list is just a cover to hide the secret caste of Trillionaires.. I thought there were only billionaires in the world, but no.. Still, we couldn't be sure, maybe it was just a rumor, a hearsay.. until now:
US billionaires own trillions in largely untaxed wealth – report
I was just thinking if a trillionaire owns a country or land of similar size and that land gives place to certain activities, which continually generate money, separate from the basic profit that comes from owning - and leasing - that land.. I figured in such a case a trillionaire cannot lose money, that person only gets richer. While the poor unfortunates slaving away for him only get more cash-strapped as time passes.

Trillionaires are real Part II.
If you can't resist rumor-mongering at the kitchen table about real-world confirmations regards the Consortium-material shared by Georgia Le Carre, you'll love this!
So, you thought Georgia Le Carre was making Trillionaires up and the Forbes list is not an official stage-curtain to hide them all? So all the super-secretive trillionaire families are mere fiction in her books?
Excellent investigative journalist, Cynthia Chung wrote an article and in there, - lo and behold! -, a confirmation for Georgia Le Carre's jaw-dropping clue, that the Forbes List of puny billionaires is only a fake front!
The real thing is more shocking:
A separate international financial market was also created to facilitate the flow of this offshore money, the Eurodollar market. Since this market has its banks outside of the UK and U.S., they are not under the jurisdiction of either country.
By 1997, nearly 90% of all international loans were made through this market.
John Christensen, an investigative economist, estimates that this capital that legally belongs to nobody could amount to as high as $50 trillion within these British territories.
Not only is this not being taxed, but a significant portion of it has been stolen from sectors of the real economy.
So how does this affect “formerly” colonized countries?
According to John Christensen, the combined external debts of Sub-Saharan African countries was $177 billion in 2008. However, the wealth that these countries’ elites moved offshore, between 1970-2008, is estimated at $944 billion, 5X their foreign debt. This is not only dirty money, this is also STOLEN money from the resources and productivity of these countries’ economies.
Thus, as Christensen states, “far from being a net debtor to the world, Sub-Saharan Africa is a net creditor” to offshore finance.
Put in this context, the so-called “backwardness” of Africa is not due to its incapability to produce, but rather that it has been experiencing uninterrupted looting since these regions were first colonized.
These African countries then need to borrow money, which is happily given to them at high interest rates and accrues a level of debt that could never be repaid. These countries are thus looted twice over, leaving no money left to invest in their future, let alone to put food on the table.
And it doesn’t stop there. Worldwide, it is estimated that developing countries lose $1 trillion every year in capital flight and tax evasion. Most of this wealth goes back into the UK and U.S. through these offshore havens, and allows their currencies to stay strong whilst developing nations’ currencies are kept weak.

This brings me to something I have been thinking about lately. And it is fueled by MSM stories that some Canadian provinces are reporting being awash in cash. (But I am sure that this could be applicable elsewhere too).
You would think all these draconian measures would be bringing things to their knees, but media reports are more or less positive. So, maybe when they decided to do all these lockdowns etc, it was already factored in, that there was a huge amount of cash that could be moved around behind the scenes to keep everything going. (And maybe the leaders were even made privy to this).
It could be useful for them to be able to say, look how these measures have helped, and even strengthened our economies. Could be useful, if or when, they decided to ramp things up, such as doing climate lockdowns or whatever. They could say that these will be positive for the economy. Just look what happened when we used these measures for the pandemic.

At Amazon now reading the reviews on TBB series... as always, I read the bad reviews, have you seen them? "Poorly written, bad grammar, endless narration, one review "Blake is a rich, sadist man who enjoys beating and raping young women for kicks. Lana is a 19 year old girl who is stupid and desperate, who becomes a victim of Blake." Another "
Poor dialogue that is often disjointed. No character development. Was so bored by the end I was skimming it. Would have stopped but hate not finishing a book."
" I will admit, the first book held my interest, although her age didn't sit well with me. When it ended, I wanted to read book 2. Book 2 became stupid when the issues with his father came about and the sacrificial thing just didn't fit the story at all. It was as if the author needed to throw something in to finish the story. At this point skimming was necessary. Then you get to book 3 thinking there would be some resolution amongst this dense story, but there was none.
As a matter of fact it ends with nothing being resolved. What happened with Victoria after she had her tantrum? Marcus doesn't like Lana, so what are his plans to get rid of her? Where's Jack. I know he goes on an assignment in Africa, but after that there's no more mention of him. How is it possible for Lana and Blake to marry? According to the secret family lifestyle, there's no way he could just marry Lana and be left alone and happy. Why are they so in love anyway? I didn't connect with either character at all. Maybe there's another book. Even if there were, I wouldn't want to read it."
Is that true that it all ends in a cliffhanger?
