In 1776, the Continental Congress began issuing paper money, known as "Continentals," and by the end of the year, the total money supply, including both existing colonial currencies and the new Continentals, was estimated to be around $12 million.
Do bankers bank roll authoritarian leaders to keep everyone in a perpetual state of war and profit from it?
Yes, there are theories suggesting that figures like Saddam Hussein and Vladimir Putin—along with other authoritarian leaders—have been indirectly financed or empowered by Western financial interests, including Wall Street. These theories argue that perpetual conflict benefits a small elite, particularly bankers and defense contractors. While these ideas are often dismissed as conspiracy theories, they do have some historical and economic reasoning behind them.
Key Arguments Behind This Theory
1. War as a Business Model
Military conflicts require massive funding, and governments often rely on bank loans and debt financing to sustain wars.
War stimulates defense spending, benefiting corporations linked to Wall Street, like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and other defense contractors.
This creates a military-industrial complex, as described by President Eisenhower in his farewell address (1961), warning that war could become an economic necessity.
2. Western Financial Ties to Dictators
Saddam Hussein: The U.S. originally supported Saddam in the 1980s during the Iran-Iraq War, providing arms, intelligence, and economic support.
Vladimir Putin: In the 1990s, Western financial institutions played a role in Russia’s economic transition, and many oligarchs with ties to Wall Street emerged. Even today, Russian energy giants like Gazprom and Rosneft interact with global financial markets.
3. Controlled Opposition & Perpetual War
The idea here is that Wall Street and global elites finance both sides—not directly, but through economic deals, arms sales, and geopolitical maneuvering—to ensure endless conflict.
Example: The U.S. funded Afghan rebels (including groups that later became the Taliban) to fight the Soviets in the 1980s, only for those same forces to later become America’s enemies.
4. Petrodollar Politics
Some suggest Saddam Hussein and Libya’s Gaddafi were targeted because they challenged the petrodollar system, which benefits Western banks.
Russia’s move to trade oil in non-dollar currencies is seen as another reason for economic warfare against Putin’s government.
Is This Theory Credible?
While there’s no smoking gun proving an organized effort by bankers to finance both sides of global conflicts, history does show:
Financial institutions benefit from war debt.
Defense contractors profit from prolonged conflict.
Western powers have a history of both supporting and later fighting authoritarian regimes.
So, while not a direct conspiracy, the system itself may incentivize perpetual war, whether through economic interests, geopolitical strategy, or unintended consequences of past policies.
War creates debt, debt creates war
Bankers profit on both sides of war

Higher yield on treasuries conventionally means risk off, but it looks like no one wants to hold treasuries hence they are dumping them causing yields to rise
I concur treasuries aka IOU are risky when the govt issuing them is carrying 36 trillion in debt and adding few trillions every year

It is pretty fucked up to know that IMF and World bank have consistently given loans to both Russia and China since the 80's and 90's who have used it to it build out their military are now considered a threat

The number of logical qubits needed to crack SHA-256 encryption using a quantum computer depends on the quantum algorithm used, the error rates of the quantum system, and the depth of the quantum circuits required. Here's an analysis based on current research:
Cracking SHA-256 with Quantum Computing
To crack SHA-256 encryption, a quantum computer would use Grover's Algorithm, which can find a preimage (input to the hash function) in approximately \( 2^{n/2} \) operations, where \( n \) is the bit length of the hash. For SHA-256:
- Classical brute force requires \( 2^{256} \) operations.
- Grover’s algorithm reduces this to \( 2^{128} \), making it significantly faster but still computationally expensive.
Logical Qubits Estimate
1. Memory Requirements
Grover’s algorithm requires:
- Superposition over \( 2^{128} \) states** for a 128-qubit register to store candidate inputs.
- Additional qubits for the oracle (which implements the SHA-256 hash function quantumly) and ancilla qubits for intermediate calculations.
A recent estimate suggests that:
- Around 3000 logical qubits would be required to run Grover’s algorithm for breaking SHA-256 efficiently, assuming high-fidelity error correction.
2. Error Correction Overhead
Logical qubits are constructed from physical qubits using error-correcting codes. The overhead depends on:
- Error rates of the physical qubits.
- Error correction method used (e.g., surface code).
Error correction overhead is typically
1 logical qubit = 1000–10,000 physical qubits with current technology. Therefore:
- Cracking SHA-256 might require 3–30 million physical qubits** using today's error correction methods.
Time to Solve
The time required depends on:
1. Quantum gate depth: Grover’s algorithm requires \( \mathcal{O}(2^{128}) \) iterations of the SHA-256 oracle.
2. Gate speed: Current quantum gates are slow compared to classical systems, which could make execution impractically long.
Estimates suggest that even with millions of physical qubits, it could take several hours or days to complete the computation due to circuit depth and qubit coherence limits.
Key Challenges
1. High Circuit Depth: The SHA-256 oracle has a complex structure, leading to very deep quantum circuits.
2. Error Rates: Current error rates and decoherence times make it hard to sustain such long computations without overwhelming error correction overhead.
3. Scalability: Building millions of physical qubits for practical quantum computers is still decades away.
Conclusion
Cracking SHA-256 encryption would require:
- Around 3000 logical qubits for Grover’s algorithm.
- Between 3–30 million physical qubits, depending on error rates and the efficiency of error correction.
Given the current pace of quantum computing advancements, SHA-256 encryption is safe for the foreseeable future, as building a sufficiently powerful quantum computer may take decades. In the meantime, cryptographers are developing
quantum-resistant algorithms to mitigate this potential threat.
