The oligarchs are cannibals of a sort, feeding off the rest of the world, and their very success is killing them. In their hubris, they have destroyed so much of the world that they, too, are doomed.
As the crisis deepened, the Bank of England slowly began to participate in the bailout schemes, not on the scale of the Fed and the ECB, but participating, nevertheless. Now, with the latest British bailout plan, the Bank of England is, seemingly, jumping into the fray. Seemingly, because one should never take the British at their word, and the details of the new plan are vague. What this may be is yet another trick, part of a ploy to lock the Obama Administration into maintaining the destructive bailout policy of the Bush Administration. It wouldn't be the first time.
However, there is real panic in the City of London, and in the British government these days, as the financial system upon which the income of the empire depends disappears, and what passes for the British nation begins to disintegrate. The situation is so grave that the inner core of the oligarchy—the relatively small group of families which dominates the rest—may believe that they have no choice but to sacrifice some of their valued assets in order to save themselves.
The Bank of England, established in 1694, and originally constructed on top of a Mithra temple, has long been a key vehicle for financier control of the British Empire. Used by the Venetians to take over England, it has been the model for the central banking system through which the oligarchy has ruled the world. It is the model for the essential features of the Fed, the central banks of Europe, and the ECB.
If the Bank of England is going to be used to fund a bailout on a large scale, then the Bank itself will inevitably be destroyed. A decision to do that, would mean that the top families have decided that the complete collapse of their financial system is inevitable, and that they are in survival mode, going to ground, in the hopes that they can emerge later, after the dust settles, to take control of whatever is left.
Even if the British bailout plan is a trap set for the Obama Administration, the result will be the same. The Anglo-Dutch monetary system has died, never to return, and all the financial institutions within that system are doomed. Some of the names may survive, but what emerges from this collapse will be far different than what we have seen. Only God can save the Queen at this point, and that is highly unlikely, given their adversarial relationship.
