Saudi Arabia: The Price of Influence!

Posted on May 28, 2015 by Curtis Greco

From around the world the U.S. Government has come to be seen as a prize of influence. Buy it, trade for it and/or submit to it and you’ve assured yourself of an influence that packs a punch in military, political and/or economic/financial terms; or so it would seem. What many countries have learned is that there is a declining prize value. This is primarily due to the ever changing interests of the forces driving the machinery of influences that is the U.S. Government and this Government will drop you, like a constitutional provision, at the first sign of a better opportunity.  Read more...

Keystone Shelved?

Posted on January 26, 2015 by Curtis Greco
McConnell’s attempt at pulling the Keystone Bill out of debate died a quiet death with a 53-39 loss. Key to the failure was that key Senators went AWOL (Reid, Kirk, McCain, McCaskill, Mikulski, Moran, Rubio & Warner). Still it seems an explanation for WHY the Bill is being blocked and VETO-threats issued remains elusive.
The greatest threat to U.S. influence in the Middle-East is an over-abundant supply of domestic energy and so one need only look at Saudi Arabia’s influence as key weapon in the economic-oil war. Saudi Arabia will happily carry the load but only if the U.S. Taxpayer supports the scheme.
After all, as Americans are finally coming to understand, there was never ever an oil-energy shortage; there was and remains, simply put, an abundance of political-economic advantage and this is what dictates/controls Crude Markets.
Remember; all that controls is not always in need of a gun!

Oil: How Low Can It Go!

Posted on December 10, 2014 by Curtis Greco
Out of the box, let’s start with lesson number one:
1) There has never been a shortage of crude oil; ever!
2) If you want to control the price of a thing, in this case oil, then control the supply.
3) If you want to have unlimited spending power then you must first find a borrowing source that uses the same currency (or exchange for a currency) that you use.
4) The degree to which you can have control over the amount of spending, and the control that spending acquires, then you must also expand/spread the common use of that currency (this is the function of a Central Bank and its integration into a Global Banking scheme.)
5) The most efficient way to expand/spread the common use of a currency is to find the most commonly used commodity and require that the purchase of that commodity use your currency.
Now then, return to item 1 and repeat as often as no one is willing to challenge your control system. These few points describe the Global Banking System (the IMF lead by the Bank of International Settlements in Switzerland of which the U.S. Fed and the U.K. equivalent are key players).  Now you understand why Russia is being made to appear as an extremely volatile threat and why the Middle-East is of such interest to the West and why China wants control of the South China Sea (massive western controlled oil reserves). Given that it is likely you will be going to war in the region (again) it’s high time you know. The Western Banking System knows that the debt loads are growing exponentially and simply cannot (ever) be settled.
The only way to survive the inevitable economic slaughter is to continuously expand their financial scheme. How low will oil go and for how long? As low and as long as it takes to destroy the Putin Regime in Russia and the Communist Regime in China; it is estimated that at $44-50/barrel Saudi Arabia can survive (on its cash reserves) for 6-7 years. At that level, it is estimated that Russia can hold out for 2-3 years. China’s a bit more difficult as their economy is structurally a bit more diverse than Russia, but socially far more unpredictable than Russia. For this reason the West is working thru Hong Kong to establish a foot hold of civil unrest as it plans and perfects its regime-change strategy for China.
