The Art of Legally Stealing: How the Corporate World Turned Crime into a Business Model

If you’ve ever wondered how to turn a $100 painting into a $100-million masterpiece, don’t worry—the corporate elite has cracked the code. It’s called art, but don’t let that fool you. This isn’t about creativity or genius brushstrokes; it’s about money laundering at its finest. The best part? The majority of people have absolutely no idea that this is one of the cleanest, most sophisticated ways to funnel wealth, evade taxes, and keep corruption looking like high culture.

Of course, if you want to get really good at running billion-dollar illicit industries, you need to do what any self-respecting drug lord has already figured out—control the government. Take a cue from Narcos: the Colombian drug mafia knew that true power wasn’t just about shipping illegal substances; it was about selecting the right politicians who could make sure the business ran smoothly. And it wasn’t just Colombia—this strategy has been successfully exported worldwide, including right into the heart of the good old USA.

Now, every once in a while, an honest person stumbles into power—someone actually trying to fix the mess, much to the horror of those profiting from it. And what happens? Suddenly, the corruption that was never supposed to see the light of day is exposed. But don’t get too excited—if the so-called independent institutions are already in the pockets of the powerful, the truth will remain what it has always been: inconvenient and expendable. The public, meanwhile, is too busy trying to pay bills and survive to care. Even if the truth could help them, distraction is the name of the game.

Speaking of distraction, today’s media is practically on sale in large democracies. Many journalists with integrity are walking away from major networks because they can no longer stomach selling the lies of their corporate bosses—bosses who are busy cozying up to power instead of reporting on it. We are now seeing this unfold in the U.S., where prominent names have recently left CNN and NBC, making it clear that truth and journalism are no longer compatible in mainstream media. The new rule? Say what pleases the powerful or get out.

And who better to master this art of deception than the European elites, who have spent centuries perfecting it? They have turned wealth generation into a form of sorcery—creating money from thin air and making it disappear with the flick of a button. Take their tax system, for example: a brilliant masterpiece of legalized theft, where money is siphoned from the masses and deposited straight into the pockets of the powerful. The laws they create appear noble on the surface, but dig a little deeper, and you’ll find they exist only to keep the lower classes from ever figuring out the game.

Look closely, and you’ll see that a handful of European families still control staggering amounts of wealth and resources across the globe. Their influence isn’t a conspiracy theory—it’s a blueprint. Nations that could have thrived by legalizing and regulating valuable natural resources, including certain “illegal” drugs, fell into the well-laid traps of Western corporations. Instead of using these substances for medical advancements and economic growth, they allowed the wealthier nations to manipulate them—branding them as dangerous when convenient and turning them into prescription drugs when profitable.

But the crime doesn’t stop there. Banks conveniently stationed on secluded islands ensure that the richest can hide their fortunes with zero oversight, while entire developing nations are turned into wastelands. The result? Millions of people left homeless, starving, and terrified, forced to abandon their countries and flee, only to be branded as burdens by the very nations that plundered them in the first place.

The tragic irony? Most people in every country are decent, hard-working individuals who just want a fair shot at life. But fairness was never part of the corporate playbook. The system isn’t broken—it was built this way. And as long as people remain distracted, fearful, and scrambling to survive, the game will go on, with the same winners and the same losers.
