Are the elites the same everywhere? From a post in Dialogue works.

Lawrence Wilkerson after about 28 minutes: six years ago I guess now, maybe a little longer, a report well done participating in by some Iranians in Iran at the University of Iran. Um, and the report showed how much money oil sales generated for Iran on a fiscal year basis in US dollars. And then it showed how much the IRGC took out of that fabulous amount of money. They were taking about one quarter of the Iranian budget, most of it generated from oil sales,oil and gas. And the implication was strong when you just did simple things like analyze the number of people in the RGC leadership and the amount of money being and essentially taken away from the Iranian government which could have been used for social programs for food you know any any number of things that would have benefited the Iranian people was going to the RGC and then when you read further in the analysis it wasn't going to the rank and file of the RGC. was going to the leadership. So that is a problem within the chemistry if you will I suspect of Iran. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5Ij0cWArw0&t=3292s
