Fascinating story. It seems to me all it really says
is (1) Thyssen was a wealthy man, (2) other people
wanted to take his money away from him, which tends to
be the case if you have any money, and (3) he cleverly
prevented them from doing it. Anyone with substantial
assets has by definition fended off attempts to seize
those assets.

Whatever Prescott Bush made out of that is a pittance
compared to what somebody will make if one of W's
schemes ever gets enacted into law. W wants to take
the money from the Social Security Truth Fund and give
it to investment bankers in New York, heh, heh. You
can write the end of that story yourself. The entire
Thyssen fortune would be a drop in the bucket compared
to the sums we are talking about here, and the
investment bankers need that money badly since they
can no longer pay their low level people $25,000,000
bonuses at Christmas and stuff like that. If that
scheme ever comes off I am changing careers and going
into investment banking! "Investment banking" for the
benefit of those not familiar with Wall Street means
ordinary people will lose their investments, but the
top dogs are going to do some banking and how. The
real hoot is that the money that will be sent to New
York will be first taken from you at gunpoint. 
(Social Security contributions are not voluntary.)

As for secret cabals, read Eliot Ness' book THE
UNTOUCHABLES. Ness claims Chicago was not run by the
politicians as most people thought, but by a secret
committee of businessmen. For complex reasons they
made the decision to bring Al Capone down, and ordered
the federal government to put him out of business. As
soon as Capone was in jail they had the Prohibition
law repealed, ending the bootlegging era altogether.
