> big fish in the financial institution

> discuss the future of entire countries

And so, as a side note, it is revealed who actually runs the world ...

Not as if we didn't really know already.

Discuss it as in “there’s elections in Argentina, let’s see how we react to the change of administration”. Not as in “I will replace Argentina’s president”.

At least the titles/descriptions didn’t contain anything to consider pulling a Snowden about it.

Not a great example when a $40B bailout is preventing an Argentine puppet from being sacked.

Yes, and the reason I've commonly heard for the bailout was that it is to help US based investors. That's a clear example of the US financial sector influencing foreign politics.

You're being naive. This is exactly what they do.

They discuss how to swing the elections with funds and think tanks in order to increase profits.

And if the outcomes of said election has a huge effect on foreign policy and geopolitics, AKA "national security", then the feds arrive and only talk to the big wigs.

Nah, it is probably just about rebalancing the portfolio in prevision of the bond market acting up... this is not MKUltra yet. ;D

That's what they said, isn't it?

Just because some people accidentally invite journalists into Signal meetings to discuss active bombing campaigns, doesn't mean everyone running a financial institution is vying to be named the next President of Argentina.

You are being knee-jerk judgemental.

They didn't say those things don't happen, just that it didn't appear the comms they received by mistake looked like less sinister interactions with the political world.

OK thanks, but well, my comment was a bit tongue in cheek anyway. That nuance didn't survive the passage all the way from intended meaning to text interpretation it seems.
