Excellent work here. I wish more work like this were done on the financial ties linked to the Democrats as well.

I wholeheartedly agree with the other comments…excellent work as usual! Paul Singer is a new name for me, I suspect I’m not alone in this, and there’s definitely a special place in hell for folks like Singer.

Outstanding analysis, Mr. Brunet.

Categorize Singer et al as "looters," and we don't wander too far astray.

It begins with allowing promiscuous avoidance of liability, and continues with further regulatory capture.

Gangsterism is the de facto state of mankind; it always has been and always will be. Those who hold power ultimately make the rules. Democracy and republicanism function currently as thinly veiled euphemisms for corporate statism, whether it's aims are globalist or nationalist. Freedom is an illusion, and all we can hope for are that the crooks running things are the ones we voted for.

They aren’t crooks.

The Chavistas ruined Venezuela, which was at one time an OPEC power on a par with Kuwait. The blame rests upon the Marxists, not the capitalists.

Well I suppose this is one way to look at what Singer and his ilk do however wrong that way is. First using Tucker Carlson as a source is dubious at best and guarantees a slanted view. So lets look at the case of the factory in the small town of Sidney, Nebraska. The company was going bankrupt and so they were for sale. If Singer had not bought it that factory would be sitting there rusting to dust and the town would still be gutted as you put it. Hate to say it but this is the normal fate of company towns you can find them all throughout the rust belt. Vultures serve a very important role in the eco system and so do Singer and his ilk in economic world. For instance because Singer bought the company former employees got to keep their pensions. Do you have a problem with that?

Sorry but Tucker is the mark of high quality deception. Hard pass...

Have you checked out Philly?

As usual great post.

How many vulture capitalists aren't Jewish?

Interesting, thanks for assembling these facts. Will have to keep an eye on Singer, it’s a very Weimar picture being painted here, though from this alone it’s difficult to tell whether he’s friend or enemy. Unrelated does the outro paragraph strike anyone else as LLM-generated? The “it’s not [x]; it’s [y]” formula seems like a giveaway

Great article, thank you! I am running for Congress to go after deep problems like this. I have been in this fight since I left a bank teller job in 1993, when I found out all the leading commercial banks were addicted to derivatives and private equity was going to replace community banking as the driver of our dystopian future.

While there is much logic above, what I personally don’t know for a fact is if those media stories would have happened regardless if Singers involvement.

Tucker Carlson is not a good source although he is correct at times.

The anti-Jew comments are very interesting and disturbing.
