the undead british empire's contemporary wars and the mechanics of wealth extraction....

Alex Krainer joins Pascal to discuss the financial interests behind geopolitical conflict. Drawing on his hedge fund background and research for Grand Deception, Krainer challenges Bill Browder’s account of Russia and examines post-Soviet privatization, debt and oligarchic power.

They explore Russia’s relations with the West, diplomacy and historical ties between Russia and nineteenth-century America. Krainer argues that British imperial influence persists through financial networks, connecting his “undead empire” thesis to sovereignty, contemporary wars and the mechanics of wealth extraction.

In 1899, the Boer War was started. Though it was the second Boer War, it is still referred to as the Boer War. Aussie troops were invited to participate in the name of the glorious Empire. The British Empire. You can find sky-pointing war monuments in most Aussie "towns", even those bush-holes with less than half a pub and two horses, with inscriptions dedicated to the remembrance of the men who sacrificed their glorious life to this war. The Boer War.

A certain Cecil Rhodes had conned the natives by ruse and by force into giving up their lands. Rhodes was not a nice guy, devious but working wonders for the Empire. By then, the restless Dutch settlers, the Boers, had to fight the foreigners, or Uitlanders as they were known, and wanted independence. There were mountains of diamonds and rivers of gold at stakes. The empire needed to stop this insurgency — and cash-in on the African loot.
