Initially Slothrop learns there were no further business agreements between
Germany's ig Farben and Britain's Imperial Chemicals “dated any later than
'39,” when the nations went to war. [But then Slothrop learns it is all a
ruse and arrangements continued in secret]

Misc on that insight from GR for today: (Even) a just defense by the allied
nations of the world against a criminal invasion
of a sovereign country by a recidivist imperial power has been good for the
arms industry.

I got nothing to show but I looked up a bucket full of defense industry
stocks and tracked them from before February 24, 2022
to the present. Investing in them all around would have made your money
grow, as that old blues song has it. All the shady
characters in *Bleeding Edge* would have done it--and many we only hear of.
