No means no
By Johnny D. Symon
On a personal basis, I've never been prone to writing two or three part eds. In fact I've never done it. But last week found me the victim of time and chance, which led me to close down my week's thoughts when, in retrospect, it was a trite too soon. For as this week dawned I recalled several details that were to me of vital importance, and it's been bugging me ever since. So let's not regard this week's scribblings as part two, just part of a stretched out one. You see, I never consciously divide up my thoughts into sections, for the simple reason that I may not be alive next week to write part two, and on the other hand, some of you who read the first part may not be around next week to read the second either. It's all about seizing the moment, making the best of it in that time and space while we can.
Last week I discussed the differences between worthless paper dollars that are now in circulation, as opposed to the genuine article that once was backed and secured by gold. When I mentioned the fact that President Throughadoor B Russowelt ordered Americans to hand in their gold, I failed to mention that within hours of his Executive Order the dollar was devalued by more than 40 percent. It's something that leads people like myself to be a little cynical, due to that type of event order, you know there's a plan behind it, kind of similar to a two or three part ed, one minute old Bozowelt extracts America's gold, at a steal away price of 20 odd bucks an ounce, then, to ensure that you don't have time to sell it on the International Market for greater profit, he devalues the dollar by almost half ... because it's no longer backed by gold. I call that daylight robbery. But I reckon it's much worse than that, and Nolan Bushnell provides the hammer we can use to hit the nail on the thick head, because he said;
"The immature mind, I don't believe, can distinguish from good ideas that are poorly produced, and bad ideas that are well produced."
Well, I reckon I'm mature enough by now to know the difference, and Russowelt was operating a fairly well produced set of bad ideas. Worse even than bad, they were evil.
But something else within that self-same 1933 time frame provides the big picture, for in less than eight weeks further on, Standard Oil of California (SOCAL) signed an exclusive 60-year deal to explore and drill in Saudi Arabia, and part of the agreement involved the type of payment; The Saudis were to be paid in gold, and later on they also received silver. Paper money was not in use in Saudi Arabia back in those days. But you know something? even if it had been, the Saudi's would still have insisted that it was backed by gold! It's something that sets them apart from the West, and common still throughout the Middle and Far East.
I know a man in Pakistan who once lived and worked in Europe, and come the end of the month he'd take most of his money to a gold merchant, and have it converted into gold sovereigns. This was many years ago when the price of gold was far lower than it is now, and since he had purged his pay-packet of worthless paper in favor of valuable gold, he's now a rich man.
Now let's briefly return to the SOCAL Oil Deal, and consider one of the reasons why the Saudis chose this American company over the British one. A remark was made back then that says it all, and it was made by none other than the great King 'Abd al-' Aziz, and re-published in the May/June 2008 edition of the superb "Saudi Aramco World" magazine. He was speaking to SOCAL's lawyer, Lloyd Hamilton, and he said, "You enjoy an advantage because your country had no imperial designs. And besides, you are so far away."
"You are so far away," is for me the optimum term, because the Saudis are, to this day, a proud and fiercely independent peoples. That's part of the reason why I have so much respect for them, but another part of my respect is due to the fact that they respect their own people so much, and not just themselves.
"You are so far away," is reminiscent of two events in the Bible ...
"Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD
did there confound the language of all the earth:
and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad
upon the face of all the earth."
— Genesis 11:9
"What therefore God hath joined together,
let not man put asunder."
— Matthew 19:6
The King understood and respected the act of Genesis 11:9; "Divorce." All the world's peoples were at one time a single entity of men and women. They all spoke the same language, but were confounded and scattered because they tried to universally rise above That which created them. Divorced couples are known to still work together in business, and connect from time to time in family, but it's not Matthew 19:6; "Marriage." Genesis 11:9 can therefore be interpreted as;
"What therefore God hath rent asunder,
let not man re-join together."
But this is exactly what our very own atheistic political loons are trying to exact on the unwitting and diverse populace. They do it in the name of "Democracy," when in fact it's nothing less than "Anti-Theocracy."
The Irish Republic recently held a referendum, letting the people decide whether or not to accept or reject the sequel to The European Constitution, renamed "The Treaty of Lisbon." Ireland has a Constitution that forces a people's referendum on those matters, the other 26 Member States refused to allow the people to vote, and passed it on a political level. The Irish people being, in my opinion, a race of strong-minded independents, gave it a resounding "No." Nonetheless, and in spite of the EU's very own rules on the matter, the Commission are still trying to force it through, in Democracy's name of course, and yet EU politicos are not chosen by the people, politicians vote for politicians, which, like fool's gold, is a "Fool's Democracy." It looks and it glitters, feels and apparently weighs, like the authentic article, but is in fact worthless.
An English Baroness, who's also a member of the EU Commission, spoke on English radio shortly after Ireland's rejection of the Treaty, and was asked why the British people were not offered the opportunity to reject it also, and she said that the Treaty was very complicated, and most people would find it very difficult to understand. But I reckon the Treaty is another example of "bad ideas that are well produced." Produced so well in fact, that even if Joe Public had the vote, he'd vote in ignorance. It's a document designed for ignorant by the ignorant, though unfortunately for the Treaty's ignorant creators, the Irish people were not ignorant at all. A recent Irish demonstration outside of EU HQ showed some with a banner that read, "No means No."
Our return to Babel requires the West's downfall, and a rising of the East, and the signs are already apparent. China will become the center of World Manufacturing, and Russia, Energy and Banking. It's a kind of Pyramid Sales, and we're destined to be at the bottom, with all the weight of the top dogs upon us.
But there's something else I missed out last week, which could have been the West's saving grace, and it occurred four months before President John F Kennedy's assassination, when he signed Executive Order 11110, June 4, 1963, and introduced a value-backed parallel currency later named the "Kennedy Bills," or "Red Seal Bills." They were removed after JFK's assassination by Lyndon B Johnson, in the spirit of Russowelt.
On returning to the subject of our present-day "Energy Crisis" and worthless money, I recommend to everyone reading this that they also pay a visit to Saudi Aramco World's website. Their magazine is online and the latest edition includes a small paragraph (in my hard physical copy page 7,) entitled "The Reserves ." This section contradicts Western politicos who claim that "the world is running out of oil". .. "it's reserves have actually increased over time to an estimated 260 billion barrels, the largest in the world."
I recently spoke to an American ex-patriot who lives in Morocco, and he said diesel oil remains at about 50 cents a liter, and yet throughout Europe, the US and Canada, it's on the up and up. And I guess that again "it's all about the money" because "it's all about the fuel taxes." Western governments refuse to drop fuel revenue to accommodate the people's ability to pay, whereas nations like Morocco are showing a far more human side to themselves than we are. It's all about money, sure, though also the big picture includes betrayal.
The oil crisis is not oil reserve based, rather, the crisis is reserved and preserved by our treacherous Western leaders.
