Yes that is what the maffia typically do In France they are typically racketing small commerces asking them to pay for their security if not so they would have their shops being saccaged one day by a "random" accident. And if you look at higher scale that's is what is also happening : pay the war of we won't protect you wharf wharf wharf ! Of course people don't realise that they pay this war they thing money is pouring like honey miel from Heaven... And more they are even brainwashing the people that war helps the economy. On short term but people don't see what's the impact on economy's debt at long term. But soon you will see because the long term cycle has now reversed they will now ask to pay the real price or rather THEIR price.
