The Truth About What’s Going On In The Middle East, Why, and What’s To Come.

As a fellow citizen of the internet, I understand that when we’re perusing the interwebs for information we want to get down to the “nitty gritty” as soon as possible. There are so many other stops on our journey for information, many more oases to visit in order to quench our emphatic thirst for knowledge. So, to oblige, I will do exactly that. And for those of you that have more time to relax and take in the whole of the information, just hang around and read it all, as well as the references. As Socrates once said, “There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.”

So, omitting further ado, we will delve into the gist of the situation.

Many years ago we began producing oil near Beaumont, TX, on an oilfield called Spindle-top. Not long after we discovered the myriad of oil beneath Alaska, a small percentage of which was made public to the American people. A few years later the Arab people found oil in the Middle-East. At this time they were merely simple camel riding nomads. Some politicians in our country went to the Arab people and told them that we would produce their oil for them, and buy it from them while postponing production of the significant sources of oil in our own country. The catch, though, was that in return the Arab people would take a portion of the money we used to purchase their oil to buy our Treasury Bills. In essence, our Treasury Bills are our Nation’s debt. This has been going on for decades now via the OPEC agreement with many other oil producing countries.

Many of the Dictators within the Middle-East have been on our Government’s payroll via military assistance and foreign aid. These countries have now been protesting valiantly in response to years of oppressive behavior by their Governments, now driving up the cost of oil. The parallel intentional devaluation of the US Dollar is not coincidence. The intention is to drive the cost of oil to a minimum of $150-$200 per barrel, fully devalue the US Dollar (which will be complete by the end of 2012) which will then infuriate the Arab people because the Treasury Bills that they have spent decades purchasing as part of the agreement will become absolutely useless, causing them to cut off our oil supply from the Middle-East. The oil companies will then begin the far more cost efficient production of oil domestically, and by no means lower the cost of oil for the American people. And in the interim they will be launching their new form of currency. It is unbeknownst to me, at the time of this writing, which currency they will be implementing. There have been some suggestions of replacement currency such as the SDR (special drawing rights), the Phoenix, and the Bancor. This replacement will be a World Currency. At this point, well, not long before it, the US Dollar was the World Reserve Currency, but recently both China and Russia have stopped dealing in Dollars because of their knowledge of the intentional devaluation. The US Dollar is worth merely the paper it’s printed on and no more. For over 6,000 years the only true form of currency has been Gold and Silver. The US Constitution even illustrates that there shall be no other form of currency save Gold and Silver. And as far as the Federal Reserve, which is as federal as Federal Express, it in itself is unconstitutional and Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) had warned against such an institution on many occasions. “The central bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the Principles and form of our Constitution. I am an Enemy to all banks discounting bills or notes for anything but Coin. If the American People allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the People of all their Property until their Children will wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.”

OPEC is the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) was founded in Baghdad, Iraq, with the signing of an agreement in September 1960 by five countries namely Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. They were to become the Founder Members of the Organization.

These countries were later joined by Qatar (1961), Indonesia (1962), Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya (1962), the United Arab Emirates (1967), Algeria (1969), Nigeria (1971), Ecuador (1973), Gabon (1975) and Angola (2007).

From December 1992 until October 2007, Ecuador suspended its membership. Gabon terminated its membership in 1995. Indonesia suspended its membership effective January 2009.

Currently, the Organization has a total of 12 Member Countries.

The OPEC Statute distinguishes between the Founder Members and Full Members – those countries whose applications for membership have been accepted by the Conference.

The Statute stipulates that “any country with a substantial net export of crude petroleum, which has fundamentally similar interests to those of Member Countries, may become a Full Member of the Organization, if accepted by a majority of three-fourths of Full Members, including the concurring votes of all Founder Members.”

The Statute further provides for Associate Members which are those countries that do not qualify for full membership, but are nevertheless admitted under such special conditions as may be prescribed by the Conference.

[I have been working on this article for about a month now, the information aspect as been done since day one, but I like to give my sources and citations.  Unfortunately my family life, work life, and now all of this Fukushima meltdown business has occupied such a phenomenal amount of time, and the importance of the information provided thus far warrants, I feel, a bit of a rush of the subject.  I will continue to do my research and compile the pseudo-bibliography in the interim and complete the article accordingly.  I do apologize as this is not a proper, nor should be acceptable, way of blogging, but I feel people are capable of doing their own research in the mean time, and will find my statements completely accurate and accounted for.  Thank you for your understanding, and keep an eye on this post for the “meat and potatoes” 🙂 –Jeremy]
