      The Sith working under Palpatine are equivalent to the left working under the global elite. Establish a totalitarian government that governs the entire known population and makes their freedoms and rights dependent on their behavior and loyalties. Both want total control over all facets of our lives and unfortunately like the members of the senate, people are sheep who will cheer them on while throwing their freedoms away.

      The "great plan" is so well thought and done that it could work in the real world.
      Imagine controlling both side of the war
      Control the banks
      And force a cult of warrior monks that are not allow to kill against a droid army
      And faking news that this cult are the warmongers and the cause of this war not to mention they kidnap childrens to indoctrinate them.

    This begs this question here: What will happen if the Banking Clan actually collapse? How can the Separatists and the Republic continue the war anymore after this? Of course, a number of raids between the two parties would become the norm but I doubt the loots from those raids can help much. And the increase amount of taxation on their citizens will only be just the temporary solution. So yeah, they will have no chocie but to call for a ceasefire for like a decade to restore basically everything in the galaxy. It will be a lost for the Republic and a pyrrhic victory for the Separatists if a truce is called for both sides.

    I really don't understand why Clovis didn't just give Dooku the finger when he asked him to raise the taxes for the republic.
    I mean what's Dooku gonna do, reveal that it was his idea to put Clovis to the IGBC's head of the banks? So what, it was only a proposition and then it could clearly be shown that Clovis cannot be manipulated by the seperatist. At that point the seperatists only move would be to attack which equals suicide for them, since the republic would obviously respond to the IGBC's help.
