Extremism in Lebanon

Rob Kirby relates an interesting conversation that he had during a road trip with a man of Syrian origin:

"When the State of Israel was created in 1948, a great many Palestinians were displaced and settled in Lebanon. As it was explained to me, the Palestinian people have historically been very adaptive and “pick up” quickly on indigenous industrial activity. In the case of Lebanon, the major indigenous activity was “BANKING” and the Palestinians quickly became proficient as bankers and began wooing the Petro-Currency banking business of their fellow Arab oil rich states. You see, they had a natural advantage to the Anglo/American/Swiss triumvirate banking establishment in this regard since they spoke the language and had the same customs of their target clientele. This was a situation that was completely and utterly untenable to the world’s existing axis of banking power which was quickly moving toward “fiat” U.S. dollar hegemony.

It was explained to me that the funding which originally “seeded” the extremist’s organizations that initially destabilized Lebanon was categorically of Swiss origin. These organizations were funded with the expressed purpose of consolidating Switzerland as the only choice as the epicenter of the world’s petro-currency/ Central Banking focal point.

Wouldn’t you suppose that a degree in economics, including specific courses on the economics of the global petro-trade and oil, would have yielded at least a few snippets of this material? I would suggest that this detail has been left out purposefully and for good reason. Then again, “winners” have always had the responsibility of writing and recording history – haven’t they?"
