A SONG OF OIL AND GAS: A REAL LIFE GAME OF THRONES…

Remember Molly Ivins’ pet saying, “Follow the Money?”

You see, the oil trade is the fountain from which all other banking profits flows. The Finance, Insurance and Real Estate that is the backbone of Wall Street needs oil money, as the largest and most strategic commodity traded in the world. It requires loans, interest, and speculation on pricing and untold corruption. The formation of the BRIC economy (Brazil, Russia, India and China) as big enough traders to threaten that monopoly has been making our PTB shake in their boots since 2000, and smaller countries lured into no longer being subjects of US monetary control began to join them. The “Iron Bank” who really makes or breaks a run for the throne is the Petrodollar and the Hand of the King are operatives covered in oil and blood.

Trading outside petrodollars was a main reason for the war against Iraq (Petro-Euros) – and the Pentagon had released a paper in MARCH of 2001 – mind you March is 6 months prior to the grail of 9/11 – detailing how Iraq’s oil fields would be carved up and outsourced to Western oil companies two full years before the war.

Iran and Libya were talking about uniting Africa under a Gold Dinar standard, but Libya was the first and boldest actor. Ghaddafi refused to use the Petro-dollar or Euro flat out, and created a Libyan Central Bank. He was sitting on a literal pile of Gold, estimated at 150 tons, while the US/EU have no comparable gold backing for their currencies, which are little more than paper. So, they had him overthrown. One has to question why the State-owned bank was replaced by “rebels” in less than a matter of weeks after Ghaddafi’s overthrow? A western-friendly, Petro-dollar bank sprung up out of nowhere, created by street fighting rebels? Oh, please…. There is no logic to that magic.

Libyan people were thriving under this nationalized bank and oil: They were entitled to free medical treatment, and their hospitals boasted state of the art medical equipment. Education in Libya was free, and they would pay for students to study abroad. Newlyweds received 60,000 Libyan dinars – about $50k US – free, as well as being able to apply for interest free loans. Vehicle purchases were subsidized, making them affordable for every family. Gasoline and bread cost pennies, and farmers paid no taxes at all.

Syria, too, abandoned the petrodollar and threw out the Rothschild bank that once existed there. More importantly? Syria is the veins of all this trade – being in the “doorway” so to speak; pipelines carrying all this oil and more strategically Natural Gas between gas producing countries have to pass through her to get to Europe. The 28 countries of the EU depend on these pipelines, that go through Syria – and brace yourselves – Turkey. Turkey has been a more erratic player, swapping alliances between the EU alliance and Russian alliances quicker than Theon Greyjoy. And Europe, the North, is running out of natural gas.

These 3 countries were small enough to “punish” by our .01% – and any other pretense for our wars on them is folly. Follow the money. The Throne is Pipelines, and oil rigs are the currency.

So, now, get this – Saudi Arabia had begun to make side deals, accepting currency exchanges with China and Russia – but as our main source of crude could not be threatened directly. So the US/EU/World Bank/WS controllers of the market gouged oil prices traded in petrodollars to make those not using our financial monopoly of trading currency unable to compete. You caught up here? You had cheap gas to try and make free nations kneel before the Petrodollar, nothing more, nothing less.

This punished the Saudis without direct confrontation – their financial situation is a mess right now – but did untold damage to US/Saudi relations, which Obama had to soothe. For years, the House of Saud has relied upon the US to keep them afloat in a sea of dollars, while ignoring their vile human rights abuses. This math counts: they are our number one purchaser of armaments. So, recently, to add the carrot to our oily stick, Obama offered them an arms deal worth $115 Billion as incentive to play nice with our banksters, while the pain of lower oil profits was still fresh as the smell of a burnt offering to the God of (b)light.

In 2015 it was discovered, and widely published how North Korea was discovered to have vast untapped oil and gas reserves. China and India (both BRIC cornerstones) are that country’s primary trading partners. By 2016, North Korea was heralded as a sudden “Nuclear Threat”! See a pattern here yet?

Russia is a Nuclear Power. Russia bypassed Saudi Arabia in 2005, to become the world’s largest crude producer. Russia was and is trading with countries in a way that enriches their peoples rather than our .01%. Russia is helping to stabilize Syria against religious extremists that the US covertly armed and trained, while leaving us no room to denounce her for targeting ISIS.

While the West was born and bottle-fed Russophobia from the “Evil Commie” propaganda machine post WWI until the USSR was dissolved, it also remembers the “Mutually Assured Destruction” days of duck and cover under your desk and kiss your wee hiney goodbye. It will take careful, deliberate, and painstaking propaganda to manufacture consent for a war with Russia.

Our Ruling Class of Oligarchs are as bloodthirsty and relentless as any Game of Thrones villain, and will suffer no threat to the Oily Bankster Throne. Your lower prices at the pump are nothing but a sweet invitation to a Red Wedding, and will climb to $5 a gallon if the smiting of their competitor BRIC alliances is ever completed. Or more, always more. No rest for the greedy.

Hacking was a ruse, and the little birds (to stretch the metaphor) that whispered the leaks knew exactly what they were doing. They are using Putin as a Patsy to make war on Russia thinkable again. The predatory capitalist class sees their empire collapsing, and needs to direct peasant anger at their own enemies, who in fact are no enemies of the working class at all. The very definition of enemies is, for the Oligarchs on the Throne, simply “Those who enrich themselves and their people rather than the predatory capitalist class. Us.”

Now, I am not saying by a long stretch Putin is Khaleesi or a Dragon, breaker of chains…. But he does worry the motherfuckers up in the Pyramids of Finance and Oil, and is bringing more and more of the world into an alliance to crush the monopoly they hold. The countries that trade outside the Petrodollar share the wealth with their people, rather than enslave them in debt to it. Our rich are more like Cersei and Jamie, whispering “the enemy is anyone who isn’t us.”

The Game is at hand, and climate change says “Winter is Coming.” Follow the money, ask questions, do as I have done here and play with Google for an hour or two to get the answers that became this article. It’s out there if you care to look. It’s not hard to find the FACTS through the onslaught of hysteria, hype and lies the media drowns us in.

Most of all?

Be careful who you rush to bend the knee to.

All is not as it appears in the Propaganda Machine, and there be Monsters here.
