Thinking about recent conversations and the Keystone.

If we take a look at the ancient world, it could be argued that many civilisations were built upon a bedrock of slavery. That is, if you want to build palaces and monuments it takes human capital, and using workers who require payment is not cheap. Slaves are not cheap either, in that you must feed and clothe them - but still cheaper than using your own population. Unless you do the working-to-death thing, but that does have the side effect of demoralising the workforce.

The key driver of the Roman Empire was conquest. The conquered had to pay taxes to Rome and the loot furnished the lifestyles of the rich and payed the troops. Those who refused to submit and were overrun and were either killed or enslaved. I'd argue that underneath it all, slavery was a major component, as without it life would have become too expensive and the empire would have collapsed under its own weight.

Now, if we look at the Aztecs and the Incas (& the Mayans too) we see a slightly different model emerging. In all cases, the priests ran society, which became geared around human sacrifice, mainly to appease the gods. The Incas saw how every time there was an earthquake tens of thousands of people died. They therefore figured if they sacrificed tens of thousands of people proactively, the earthquakes would stop. The Aztecs got into a situation where they thought that if they stopped sacrificing people the gods would become angry and the world would end. Slaves, or captives were an integral part of the sacrifice business, complimenting the population in times of shortages.

The key driver of the central American civilisations was human sacrifice, complimented by conquest and slavery.

If we look at the Phoecian Empire, which survived until at least 1300AD in the guise of the Venetian Empire, this was a group of people who built an empire based on trade. Buy low, sell high. Slaves, especially exotic ones were an integral part of the trading empire. Later on, expensive wares from China were a key part of the wealth creation scheme, with a steady flow of drugs going back the other way. We see several different trading empires appear throughout modern history, with the East India Company being one of the largest. Their speciality was trading drugs. I'd argue that the drugs trade was the key to their success.

The keys to the success of modern empires are conquest and trade. In terms of profitability, humans and drugs are the stand-outs. In both cases, the illegality of the cargo helps to inflate the price to the end consumer. What if it was possible to combine the two? The basic trade is humans. Some of them become slaves, held captive by the threat of deportation (cheap labour). Others, and I assume we talking children are harvested of their adrenachrome which is undoubtedly the most expensive drug of all. Blood can be sold for its anti-aging properties, organs for transplants and ground up bones used in cement. If you're going to kill people on a large scale, someone has to perform the killing. So why not employ a group who believe in ritual sacrifice? Can one extract adrenachrome from aborted fetuses? I have no idea, but by the sounds of it there's a great black market in pills made from ground up babies, in China.

Here we pretty much have the business model of the Cabal. The Keystone is human trafficking. A number of sub-businesses handle the extraction of the valuable parts and the disposal processes. The Satanists do the dirty work. PP deal with fetuses, the majority of which are harvested from illegals. Some parts are sold for research, others for use as drugs.

Shut down the trafficking ratlines and the entire business model begins to quake. Hollywood doesn't get it's anti-aging drugs; the Satanists don't get their sacrifices; the construction industry no longer has cheap cement; hospitals cease to get their cheap supply of organs; China no longer gets its baby pills.

No wonder POTUS wants a wall. No wonder the Cabal want to stop him.
