REBUILDING UKRAINE: Confiscating Russian Assets

The US Treasury is ramping up calls for Russia to be responsible financially for the reconstruction of Ukraine.   But of course, Janet Yellen doesn’t want to go through procedural means and methodologies, but instead is talking about forcibly confiscating Russian Assets…   Once again setting a Pandora Box Precedent that will surely backfire.   Standing in the wings is Assad, Sudan, Yemen, Ethiopia, and Palestine – waiting – hoping….   International Law would bury the US in reparations!

According to Nuland, the US Congress granted the Justice Department authority to use “illicit assets seized from Russian oligarchs” to help rebuild Ukraine.  But Congress doesn’t have the authority!   The Justice Department doesn’t have the authority!   Desperate for external funding to rebuild their biolabs and racketeering setup, $300 billion in Russian assets is at stake.

The irony of these two women, Yellen and Nuland, is the fact that their parents were directly affected by the Nazi Holocaust – Yellen in Poland, and Nuland in Ukraine.   Yet both support the neoNazi’s who destroyed their families.   And give them vast sums of taxpayer monies without Congressional vote.

Undeterred over the illegality, Nuland is threatening the EU to make it happen!

Once again it appears the western Cartel has been so fearless in ignoring rules and regulations that they think a little more blackmail might help sway their allies in Europe.   But they seemingly are again ‘overestimating’ their alliances and power and find themselves in a quagmire of pig dung.  Many foreign companies set up in Ukraine are ROYALLY PISSED!

Poland is fuming after volunteering to buy all of Ukraine’s wheat with the pinky swear promise to deliver it to Africa sometime – sometime – soon…given Africa is ummm in sacrifice.   Only to find that the grain is tainted with a pesticide chemical that is banned across the EU and US.   As a result, Poland has been forced to destroy their entire Ukraine wheat inventory.   The cost?   Loss to Polish Taxpayers.

Wall Street profited over $55 billion in the aftermath of lost Ukraine grain as the price of commodities skyrocketed with wheat bumping nearly double in just one year.   Falling off its high, wheat from Ukraine has been paused as local European farmers demand their priority in the markets.   Zelenskyy is fuming and will likely threaten the Polish PM in a classic temper tantrum designed to shame him into agreement.

The rebuilding of Ukraine will be a war of its own as companies vie for the privileged dollars and ratchet their bids accordingly.   The outlying towns will receive little to no funding as the restitution will be awarded to those American companies that suffer losses in Kyiv and Lyiv where the munitions and biolabs flourished.  

There are 237 US corporations operating in Ukraine including every major defense manufacturer; Raytheon, Northrop, and Lockheed.   Pfizer has operations in Ukraine.   The largest oil and petrochemical companies listed have operations in Ukraine.   What they don’t have are WINDMILL and Solar Manufacturers…

Obviously, profiting off oil has overcome the impact the pretend greenie-weenies have instilled via western hypnosis.   I imagine these 237 US companies are not too pleased at the loss of profits and assets that the Ukraine conflict has incurred.   They are most likely the ones pushing Nuland and Yellen for reparations.

The media is already onboard the rebuild mission declaring that a new and modernized Ukraine will be built on the backs of Taxpayers in the West.   They want to take the opportunity to turn Ukraine’s poverty laden century old brick and mortar buildings and turn them into the Saudi blueprint of NEOM.  

Coincidentally, NEOM has a price tag of exactly how much Yellen and Nuland want to expropriate from Russia – $300-$500 billion.   However, the Saudi project has been stalled.  Curious whether the fallout of the US spying, the US sanctioning, the US inciting war with China and the US admitting Western and NATO involvement in Ukraine is ongoing… could cool the jets of Bin Salman as he distances himself and Saudi Arabia from Western Cartel countries.

Apparently the BRICS countries have opened their eyes wider and acknowledged the fact that coal and oil and gas are NOT going out of favor – and we’ve wasted an entire decade playing patty-cake.   Russia continues to set records on oil sales, China is buying everything it can and more!    India and even Japan have begun relying on Russian oil to lift their economy out of the doldrums and meet demand.

Products made from oil and coal number in the thousands.   None of our manufacturing facilities have an alternative source.   Not one Greenie has addressed this differential.   Not one government official has brought this up to the windmill advocates.   The cost to retrofit any factory with steel machinery made from coal and oil, or the process for making upholstery, helmets, shaving cream, windmills, solar panels, parachutes, asphalt roads, wheels, tires, etc…etc…etc.. has ever been discussed.

Ukraine should be written off the Balance Sheets of these companies.   Rebuilding would take half a decade.   But the Power Cartel has already announced a new Pandemic – much more deadly – will be released in 2024 – their deadline for Kyiv biolabs to be operational.

With Sudan once again embroiled in clashes and bombings, oil is set to jump!   Do you think the ESG companies will jump on the profit potential or buy?

OIL: The Saudi/Russia Feud Unraveled

In the midst of the Coronavirus panic, Saudi Arabia and Russia decided to defy OPEC and refuse to abide by their demand that output be curtailed as a consequence of tanking demand in China.   The media has varied responses speculating on the reasoning behind the feud; some claim it is between the two countries, others believe it is a strategy to tank the US shale output, and others think it is a purposeful attempt to tank the global economy.

And in the trajectory of ‘follow the money’ who would gain from this sudden denouncement of OPEC?

Currently, Venezuela, an initial signatory to the OPEC agreement has virtually zero output given it’s economy is in the Socialist twalette.   Iran’s output has suffered from sanctions and now the coronavirus.   Syria is being destroyed once again, this time by Turkey.  Other countries are being massacred by Al Shabaab, and still others are simply changing course toward renewable energy.

There are 14 countries that comprise OPEC;  Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Nigeria, Venezuela, Conga, Libya, Iran, Iraq, Gabon, Angola and Guinea – former members include; Ecuador, Indonesia and Qatar. Former members and others have already begun the shift to renewable energy sources.   The top five countries producing oil include; US, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Canada and China, only one of which is subject to OPEC.   Thus when OPEC demands member countries reduce output, the member hit the hardest is Saudi Arabia, while its competitors can ramp up production because they are not members of OPEC.

In essence OPEC has outlived its usefulness and will likely become obsolete in the near future. Weeding out the weak means eliminating smaller companies through price deflation as they haven’t the means to absorb the losses.   Both the Saudi’s and Russia claim they can hold a $25 per barrel price…   which is highly skeptical, but will play out nonetheless.   The consensus is that these countries want the price of oil to be aligned as a basic market flux like every other commodity in the world.   Price fixing thru creative shortages and creative oversupplies manufactured by OPEC are being purged.   The short term will see reactionary destabilization. But longer term, the five power houses will survive.

Oil output will be consolidated among the few, and renewables will enjoy the new future as Black Gold.

Currently the top renewable sources include: solar, wind, hydroelectric, hydrogen, geothermal and biomass.   Within those sources, wind has recently been found to be costly and a landfill nightmare given the turbines are made from plastics (oil) and steel.   Solar is specific to location.   Hydroelectric utilizes precious water supplies that are dwindling.   Biomass is attempting to diversify from it’s wood source, but its future looks a bit rickety given the destruction of valuable forests.

Geothermal requires extensive drilling given it is found in the earth’s core, thus hydrogen would seem to have the most potential and given it is found in abundance – the opportunity plays equally to all.

There is no naturally occurring pure hydrogen and thus it must be extracted from its source. Hydrogen is typically produced through oxidation of methane or coal gasification and burns clean.  But future methodologies are likely a massive science effort.

Still, it appears the many, including the Greens, are oblivious to all the other uses of oil outside of fuel.   There are literally hundreds of products made from petroleum including; cosmetics, dresses, vitamin capsules, tires, nail polish, upholstery, shoe polish, panty hose, deodorant, purses, denture adhesives, artificial limbs, anesthetics, refrigerators, guitar strings, shoes, lipstick, house paint…   the list is exhaustive

Out of every 42 gallon barrel of oil, 22.6 gallons are used in the production of products other than gasoline!   That would account for 54% of all oil…   Oil isn’t going to go away. But cheaper oil will trickle down the end price of all these products for consumers.  That may be actual goal as it would then make the costs more competitive against China.

It is the Bigger Picture.  

While every Industrial Revolution comes with gains – it also comes with pains.   Pains for the obsolete.   But ultimately, those pains are absorbed and new technology is the mainstay.   The horse shoeing market certainly isn’t what it was a couple of centuries ago…  People adapt, evolve and learn.

And thus, it could be that the entire Saudi Arabia/Russia feud is actually nothing more than a shift, a shift that was a necessary evolution with absolutely no demonizing intent at all.
