While the events in Kazakhstan have taken a dramatic turn due to the dictatorial regime in place ordering troops to fire on and kill protestors, it would not go amiss to remind ourselves that it is indeed President Kazakh Nazarbayev who was the first of the post-Soviet era to weave a methodical web of transnational financial flows with the sole aim of laundering his money and that of his henchmen in certain European capitals. So is it now surprising that a large part of the Kazakh population is rebelling against a mafioso system, when the proof of its leaders\u2019 misdeeds has not even been covered up by criminals who seem to be sure of their facts, and of their impunity?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t their fortune in fact lie peacefully in the UK, where the country is housing (according to an Open Democracy<\/a> study) about 600 million euros in luxurious properties belonging to elites of Central Asia? The spoils of these prestigious London properties are being distributed to a clan made up of Dariga Nazarbayeva, daughter of Nazarbayev, his son-in-law and the billionaire Timur Kulibayev no less, as well as Kairat Boranbayev whose daughter is married to the grandson of the Kazakh dictator. This close-knit circle has even paid itself the moral luxury of directly acquiring one of Prince Andrew\u2019s properties. But the second circle is not dawdling, with the copper magnate, Vladimir Kim, being the happy holder of a sublime apartment estimated at 30 million euros at One, Hyde Park, and the Nazarbayev clan\u2019s banker, Aigul Nuriyeva, owning a modest 6 million euro property at Regents Park\u2026 In short, the amount articulated by this Chatham House report is obviously only an appetizer, because, let\u2019s not forget, in fact, that the leading opponent to the Kazakh regime, Mukhtar Ablyazov, has also heavily invested in London, owning five properties there in total, two of which are valued at more than 20 million euros apiece. London makes sure to keep intact its very strong pull with high-level criminals, even if it is true that Mukhtar Ablyazov has lost his right of asylum there and he currently lives in France\u2026 So, faced with such an overwhelming set of circumstances, how are we to react if not by seizing the assets of this trifling Kazakh oligarchy that \u2013 according to a KPMG report<\/a> dating from 2019 \u2013 between 162 of them owns an astonishing 50% of the country\u2019s wealth? These illicit transfers<\/a> and offshore set-ups that aren\u2019t even cleverly disguised make up the daily bread of these Kazakh elites, and of others spread throughout the world who compete with each other, pilfering most of their population\u2019s money along the way.<\/p>\n

Despite it being an obviously flawed comparison, there is nevertheless something extraordinarily rotten about our current post-covid world, or at least our world now learning to live with the pandemic, because the richest of the rich have never been better-off than during this terribly damaging period. Likewise, in the US, \u201cAmericans for Tax Fairness\u201d and the \u201cInstitute for Policy Studies\u201d have calculated that the country\u2019s billionaires\u2019 wealth grew by no less than 70% between March 2020 and November 2021! These five trillion dollars are in the hands of the cr\u00e8me-de-la-cr\u00e8me, only 745 individuals (out of a population of 330 million), and 89% of US stock is monopolised by only 10% of the citizens of this nation that \u2013 as a result \u2013 isn\u2019t really one anymore\u2026 This is why an oligarchy of a new kind is forming, in a country that is meant to be an exemplar of democracy, and where a tiny number of individuals find themselves in a temporary limbo while tens of millions of others suffer increasing economic insecurity due to the rise in inflation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No longer is there any benchmark, any morality, any dignity. The proof? The Vice President of the US Federal Reserve in person, Richard Clarida, was just nicked for exploiting privileged information to make money. On 27th<\/sup> February 2020, the day before Fed President Powell\u2019s speech where he declared his central bank\u2019s determination to actively support the economy with regard to the nascent pandemic, Clarida withdrew millions from a bond fund to invest in a stock market fund that turned out to be one of the biggest winners from the Fed measures. Moreover, the Wall Street Journal was able to reveal in September 2021 that the President of the Dallas Fed, Robert Kaplan, and the President of the Boston Fed, Eric Rosengren, were purchasing shares in Apple, Alphabet, Google and Amazon, and also precious metals, to the tune of several million dollars while their respective central banks moved to support the financial markets.<\/p>\n

Several serious and unbiased studies (led by \u201cFreedom House\u201d and \u201cFreedom in the World\u201d) attest to a major erosion of democracy on a global scale. In 1938, Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave us a warning: \u201cHistory proves that dictators never prosper over successful governments\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
