About This Quote

World events do not occur by accident. They are made to happen, whether it is to do with national issues or commerce; and most of them are staged and managed by those who hold the purse strings. In other words, those who have the money or the power hold the cards. And, as always, they don’t care about you. They only care about themselves – their family – and making a buck.
