Iran: It Isn’t Oil Stupid, It’s Pharmaceuticals

The Iran rhetoric has been thick.   Everyone is soliciting their highest ranking intelligence to make an accusation, citing a plethora of Scientists, Geophysicists, and Engineers to support their view.  And, of course, the diametrically opposed stories tell a different tale.

The same media, and many of the same liberals who advocated for the Iran Nuclear Deal that was imposed by Obama via Executive Order, are now calling for retribution attacks against Iran for the recent drone strike.   So what happened to the wonderful peaceful Iran that Obama and the Liberals wined and dined?

Because many of these same pundits are now calling for the annihilation of Iran…  The Democrats demand – war.

Sort of…

Tankers were hit by either land mines, missiles, or other ‘flying’ contrivances.   The tankers belong to Japan and Norway.  According to Norway there will be no retaliation and the news is already dead on arrival.  They postulate that a sophisticated ‘agent provocateur’ is responsible, but ultimately blame the attack on President Trump because he shred the Iran Nuke Deal.  Japan has stated that there will be NO retaliation, and no news sites in Japan seemingly think the instance is even worthy of an article.

Neither the press in Japan or in Norway even acknowledge the US Drone downing.  The pictures presented by Iran are actually of a drone downing in Yemen in 2017.   And yet, the US war mongers are now convinced Trump is a wimp for not decimating Iran… instigating war, and creating a new pocket of ummmm – wealth.

The Iran Nuke deal was after all designed to create a new source of wealth for the elite. Businesses were lined up, drooling at visions of sugarplums – and valuable pharmaceutical opportunities.

Obama officials, Dianne Feinstein and John Kerry have been desperately attempting to assure Iran that the Nuclear Deal is still viable and that the plans as established before Trump can be reinstated.   But Rouhani isn’t convinced.   Attacking Saudi ships, Japanese ships and Norwegian ships this year, Iran would for all intents seem ‘confused’.

What would be gained by goading and provoking Trump into a war?

By 2002, Iran had accumulated a massive internal pharmaceutical industry that increased in value by roughly 500% between 2009 and 2015.   High tech medicines including monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and recombinant proteins have been the biggest leaders in the field with Germany and Russia being the primary importers.

Novo Nordisk, the 10thlargest biotech in the world based out of Denmark had contracted to manufacture insulin in Iran.   Sanofi, based in France, is the 5thlargest for prescription sales and it too was chomping at the bit with Iranian deals in the works.   Novartis, based in Switzerland, was on board as well.  Among its many subsidiaries was Syngenta, which specialized in genetically modified plants and is now owned by ChemChina.  Novartis also specializes in monoclonal antibodies, which it produces and sells ‘outside of the US’.  And in 2009, Obama awarded Novartis a $486 million contract to construct a plant in North Carolina where they would be tasked with creating 150 million vaccines in the event the administration declared a ‘pandemic’.  In 2009 when Obama took office Novartis was selling for roughly $30 per share, today it is $91.  Novo Nordisk was trading at $12.70 and is now $50.90.

Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen was being paid a monthly fee by Novartis with the agreement that Cohen would tell Trump how best to regulate the pharma industry.  Cohen is currently serving a 3 year sentence in Federal prison.

Iran was to become the ‘hub’ of the pharmaceuticals and – the investors would be granted full exemption from taxes.   In other words, Iran was to become the new tax haven for wealthy pharmaceuticals and anyone else wanting to climb aboard the bandwagon.

When Trump nixed the Iran Nuke deal, these heavy weight pharmaceuticals saw their investments crash.    John Kerry had been heavily trading pharma stocks since 2011 when he worked in the Senate Finance Committee’s Health Subcommittee, a position he used and profited from greatly.    Obviously he has a vested interest in reigniting the Iran deal as he was likely a heavy weighted investor in the Pharmaceuticals when Obama used Executive Order status to confirm the Iran Nuclear Deal.

When Kerry inherited his father’s money in 2002 it was estimated to be worth roughly $300,000 to $1.5 million.  A large spread!  By 2013, he had somehow grown that to $250 million.  Today, the estimate is $103 million…a tragic loss?  Or simply transfer of wealth to a haven?

In 2009 Dianne Feinstein’s net worth was estimated to be around $77 million.  By 2014 it had reached $99 million, today according to Forbes, she is worth $80 million.   A tragic loss…

In May 2019, one year after Trump reneged the Iran Nuke Deal, Rouhani stated that the commitments agreed to in the deal would no longer be adhered to and proliferation would edge up. Three days after the tanker attacks, Iran restated that their enrichment program would “far exceed” the restrictions by June 27.

Dianne Feinstein visited Iran in May, two weeks later the Japanese and Norwegian tankers were hit, and a US drone was downed.   Kerry had been in constant telephone conference with Iran during this same period.

Did Feinstein and Kerry order the hits?  Why?

With an oil glut that has decimated oil prices, the tanker attacks spiked oil from reaching its potential of $30 barrel to about $50 – still quite low but a good enough spike to enrich a few profitable wagers.  But oil is passé, Iran has abundant farmland only 12% of which is actually utilized. Their minerals include: chromium which is used to control weight, muscle, diabetes, heart issues, etc… Their desire is to navigate away from an oil economy and create a pharma economy.   That desire was scrubbed by Trump.

The US is now oil independent.  We don’t give a dang about the Strait of Hormuz, or   Iran’s oil.   Follow The Money.   The Money is pharma.   Germany – heavily invested.  France – boldly invested.  Russia – flagrantly invested.   US?  The Swampers, the Obamites, the Hillarites, they are all likely heavily peeved as they watch their net worth scrubbed.  Pharma?  They would likely assassinate anyone who impaired their agenda. Who they support?  Whomever is likely to give them an ‘edge’.  They have no real political affiliation – their affiliation is to – money.
