This research addresses this question and tests for the effects of institutional linkages between banks and states on the enforcement of these regulations. It is hypothesized here that a bank’s institutional link to its home state is necessary to block attempted enforcement. This research utilizes comparative studies of cases in which enforcement and penalization were attempted, and examines the role of institutional links between the bank and state in these outcomes. The case comparisons include five cases in all, with three comprising positive cases in which enforcement was blocked, and two in which penalty occurred. Combined, these cases control for rival variables such as rule of law, state capacity, iv authoritarianism, and membership of a country in a regulatory body while also testing for the impact of institutional linkage between a bank and its state in the country’s national political economy.

  • Pittsburgh Shooting Hoax
    Pittsburgh Shooting Hoax by Miles Mathis First published October 27, 2018 Just my opinion as usual, come to by compiling mainstream evidence freely available on the internet. My readers are already intuiting this was a fake, and of course they are correct. It couldn't be much more obvious, though I am sure it will get even more obvious as more information is released. We have seen that some in Government and the Jewish communities love nothing better than pretending to attack themselves. It has proved to be a fantastic way to generate sympathy. or it was in the past. I think a lot of people are starting to see through it, which is why the governors and families have had to turn up the volume. Average people yawn and change the channel, so they have to televise fakes on every channel, sometimes at a rate of two or three a week. Pretty soon they will have to hire people to come directly to your house and lecture you on these topics, to make sure you are properly propagandized. You will have to pass a test at the end. Some will say, “Why would you just assume this one is fake, without even studying it in full?” A better question for them is “why wouldn't I?” I have proven that every previous similar story was a fake, so the chances this one is real are vanishing. I have never studied a promoted tragedy like this and found it to be genuine. NEVER. I have shown they are run by the same people for pretty much the same reasons, and always have been.
