It's being perpetrated right in front of us by this administration. They have been embezzling billions in so many schemes:
- Crypto scams by DJT
- Trump Phone
- The whole Tariff Refund Scheme by Lutnick's firm Cantor Fitzgerald
- The billions stolen from Venezuela just recently
- the J-6 "Slush Fund"
- The guy who got the Reflection Pool contract is mysteriously a Mar a Lago regular
And probably many many more we don't even know about.

Not so new: the legend of the Fisher king (the source of Parsifal), the implicit theology of the Deuteronomistic history, the substitute king ritual in Assyria all speak to a conception of a connection between a rulers moral and physical health and the realm.

I suppose the Egyptians sidestepped it a bit, by having the Pharaoh only gain most of their godly power (and responsibility) after death.
