Smoke And Dirhams

The United Future World Currency is a gold coin that is promoted by people who think that the US dollar should be replaced as the main world currency.

Here we see Medvedev holding an example of the UFWC coin up and smiling.

Said the Pieman to Simple Simon...!

And here are some examples of the Malaysian State of Kelantan's Gold Dinar and Silver Dirham.

A silver Dirham and a gold Dinar

One of the most underscored criticisms of gold and silver as currency these days is the inability of gold and silver to genuinely be able to express as an exchangeable 'token,' sums such as the one that Facebook's founder recently paid to buy Oculus Inc., the company that sells a computer gaming accessory – i.e. $2 billion.

Personally it is difficult for me to see where this '2 billion dollars' was or is or went, from out of Wall Street where it was supposed to have emanated from and been exchanged.

Perhaps it was secreted into a custom-made vault deep deep deep, under the sea, far far far away in the Southern Indian Ocean not just a few hundred uncivilised kilometres outside my own window here in Perth, Western Australia...

From whence it need not ever be looked for since it probably would not be found either... If you know what I mean.

And thus, let us all rest assured in our beds, that yay verily, these vast and great and legitimate sums do exist forsooth. But you will never have the opportunity to see them and nor will I for we are most unworthy.

'New Hope' wine by Mondavi

Behold, here is another pic – this time of Robert Mandavi Jr.'s new livery of his family's wines. And this time we see an act of altruism – namely, that a percentage of the price goes to one of several charities. I see that Mondavi's highest selling wine – which by the way is something of very very great excellence indeed – has been able to be the benefactor to a charity for 1 million dollars. My my. What a vast sum from the world of the wealthy and the elite. And I do hope you to understand by this that what I am saying is that whilst Mondavi is clearly a man of substance, worth, compassion, and charity, his numbers call into question what is really the truth when it comes to the vaunted sums and 'deals' and money flows of the business leaders we are told about, every day in the media.

Alas. Count me in for the Dirhams and the Dinars and all other complexions of gold and silver. Oh, great sinner that I am!

And to think that tall tales of levitation used to be the stock-in-trade of the Arabs and the Musselman generally. Now we get fairytale explanations from the West, of why things failed to levitate, and where they got to once their days of levitation were over, and where now not to look for them due to the trouble it would take you or I to look so we must just take the word of the fairytale salesmen about it... But look, yonder, surely I see the Dow flying?! Oh magic of magics. Wonder of wonders.

When the daylight comes shall all of these Xanadu palaces of the rich and famous shrivel up and die and then disappear in a gigantic puff of smoke? Or several large puffs of smoke around the globe wherever the scam has its franchises distributed.

 

...It is twenty minutes to daylight.

Making Money From Delusionocracy

I have known a few politicians over the years. The last ones that I considered were not delusional were in office back in the 1980's.

That's a while ago now.

If you spend your life trying to deceive others, and at some point you forget which bits were lies and which bits not, you could easily end up on the verge of a serious kind of madness.

All of you will know and realise – those of you who bother to follow this blog – that at least for a year now I have been steering away from offering a view on things like Benghazi, or the Boston bombing attack, or Syria, or Bahrain, or Sochi.

And that is because I have known, among other equally vexed matters, all about the present events in The Ukraine and their likelihood of happening; I considered it a very sad situation and not worth my bothering to scream blue bloody murder, well, certainly not from a pathetic little blog-site. Over the last year I have considered it virtually inevitable, and fully-intended by the Western politicians who have the reins of power in our world today.

I am very sure that a while back I made mention of ex-London Met policemen John Yates and his ideas about 'kettling' of protest crowds and the ideology of using force appropriate to the violence of the protesters.

And I am sure I have spent a lot of posts carrying on about various things Russian.

You could say it's just a co-incidence.

A 'Delusionocracy' is a term I just now made up, but I intend it to mean a system in which people actually trade in foolish and obvious frauds but have grown into the habit of accepting them as a sort of meaningful fiction that satisfies them on some schizophrenic emotional level and even grants them a living just like say a pulp fiction writer might eke out.

I say 'eke out' because I have had major doubts for a good long while that all of these people have the purchasing power that the nominal sums of dollars they claim to possess should grant them.

By my sources there are only about five thousand real disposable wealth rich people in the world... And that is far far short of the figure even for the vaunted 'new' class of China market millionaires alone. But I prefer to rely on my own sources – they have proven many times to be more reliable than other data providers.

One of the conclusions of this perspective is that you can make money from the Delusionocracy, although it is problematic. Yet at the same time, the pathway to enabling such profits is clear enough: indulge them in the deceits and delusionary beliefs and ideas that they are addicted to.

Give them more of what, evidently, they want.

Sheepskin = badguy, no wait, gun = badguy

Of course it's difficult for me to do this kind of thing; I can't help but focus on intelligent strategic assessments that have the ring of truth and reality to them. It would be very hard for me to think that Putin is a different kind of person than the one I know. But I suppose the thrill of acting and even dressing, like an olden days sheepskin and ushanka sporting Russian spy, would be a bit of fun. Afterall, I clearly recall sticking something up here about what to eat like Russian spies do, where to hang out, like Russian spies do, and how to quote Dostoevski: 'the ability to add two and two and make it add up to five has its attractions.'

Wait a minute, I never quoted that before. But I will be using it a lot in the near future. It seems to fit into the spirit of the times. Zeitgeist – a German word, of course.

Intelligent strategic analysis would say that the Russians and the Germans are allies though, right now. You mightn't want to believe that. But only if you were deluded into the idea that the Germans love the USA. Or that the Germans forget who the Black Hand, is.

Don't ever think for one minute that Syria and The Ukraine are not linked. And I believe I've covered that before too, in the piece about Mansour Ojeh, the then publicly-known owner of Maclaren Racing (not that he's got anything to do with it, but he is symbolic of the money involved and the circles trailed). I wonder what's going to happen with the Russian Formula One race? Ah well, certainly a place I can wear that old sheepskin anyway. My that will be fun. Wonder if Vanity Fair will take pics. I think I'll get an agent though, before I have to be like Snowden and live all alone and off donations. Lol. 'Look look he's a spy, he looks like one!'

I'll tell you what delusions are – thinking that the Russians have no idea what is going down here and are being reactive. Or, what is NOT going down, in fact, much to the chagrin of someone, somewhere.

It's so fucking ridiculous. Watching the news.

Any newsman with half a brain has a brace of tickets to the Russian Grand Prix come October 12 of this year. I think someone's gonna get knocked off. Someone in a 'hospitality tent' with the big league of super wealthy super powerful people. An appropriate and commensurate use of force, do you not think. I don't have inside knowledge. It just seems so irresistable, given that there was prudent restraint before the bs in Kiev. I'm not sure what moral value would pull Putin back now. I am telling you all, the FSB knows all about who, why, where and when, and did so well before the matter got right out of hand. And common sense tells you that I am right too. So, do you not think Putin has been incredibly, extraordinarily patient and restrained? I mean he knew, same as the NSA knows. Maybe not by the same means seeing as his people go around in sheepskins and ushankas still, apparently. I don't think there's anything that is going to hold him back now and I think there are a few people living in a state of serious delusion if they think the CIA or the NSA or anyone is going to be able to 'protect' them from here on in. For one thing, they are not innocent. Did Berezovsky die? He did. Must have been an accident. I notice John Yates wasn't on hand to give him mouth to mouth. Perhaps his consultancy fee doesn't cover that level of service.

 

Fucking dickheads. The lot of them. People like Yates, with his bigheaded wilfully aggressive attitude dressed up as 'professional' anything, exacerbate and enflame lunatics who have inordinate power in undemocratic places and actually promote violence by using it and subscribing to it. Fucking moronic dickheads. That is the language that these people deserve. They are the people, that are sending your kids to war and to die. Or worse. And they are bugging your house. And they want respect too.

You can make big money in a Delusionocracy. Whether you ever get to spend any of it is another thing.

(I think I'll be taking this down after a short while. But don't forget what I've said.)
