Field Manual 3-05.130, Army Special Operations Forces Unconventional Warfare
WikiLeaks recently leaked a military manual highlighting joint efforts by U.S. Defense agencies and major financial institutions like the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to influence global politics and pressure sovereign nations to toe the line.
In echoes of "Confessions of an Economic Hitman", the report details how these organizations exert persuasive influence through loans and manipulation of tax and interest rates. The Free Thought Project has a good article here if you want to read more about it.
The US banking structure as a whole is a weapon directed at all of us, not just other countries. It's why you can't take more than a few thousand dollars in cash out of your bank without raising a red flag and having the Feds check you out: because it's not actually your money. You're just allowed to use it while the big dogs use it as a big stick to beat others.
I read "confessions of an economic hitman" a few years ago and found it to be pretty eye opening. Im not familiar with the wikileaks document but I'll have to check it out. I'm rewatching "Game of thrones" right now from the begining and in the later seasons you can see how ideas like this really influence and inspire the story line. The different houses with their armies and mines (ie power and money) essentially represent the different worldly nations and the iron bank of Bravose represents the IMF - funding war on both sides...etc...etc

This is the politics of empire, before the USA it was the British, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Romans, Greeks, Chinese etc.
Empires do whatever they want because they are powerful enough to do it and get away with it. Small nations cannot do such things and get away with it, that's why they usually don't, with few exceptions ofcourse.
