The Panama Canal itself has a storied history and the other route across, the 'Nicaragua Canal' route is a story which has not yet ended, of course.
Let's say I have access to a filing system of strategic capital projects around the globe - well, these 'canal' projects in recent times all have one single common thread running through them (ahem, sort of pun).
And that common factor is that every single major investor or proposer with serious financial backing, who ever either got actively involved, or spent real money scoping the ideas - is or was a telecommunications company.
Hutchison Whampoa, the Chinese Investment Bank, which now owns the rights to manage the ports on both sides of the Panama Canal, is a telecommunications giant, and very possibly the biggest telecommunications company in the world. And that is really saying something, given the other players in that arena.
As we all know nowadays, if you want to control the communication to the White House to any part of the rest of the world, you really need to control the Pacific Undersea Telecommunications Cable.
This is a pic of the actual section of an actual battle group, actually sailing down to the Antarctica in the actual 'Ark of Gabriel' war games maneuver |
Which is of course why today, there are all these 'secret' or clandestine operations going on out of New Zealand to the Antarctic and to various military bases in the Antarctic. It has got nothing to do with the mythical 'Ark of Gabriel' that the Russians floated as a piece of fiction to pretend they were running a 'war games' exercise down there. The 'Ark of Gabriel' was supposedly an artifact found by the Russians in Saudi Arabia, and for some mysterious reason that created immense speculation in the 'ancient alien' circles and those kinds of places on the internet - had to be transported securely and in secrecy to the Antarctic.
And that was the actual story the Russian Navy itself put out but covered itself by also saying that this was simply the premise of a war games scenario.
The fact that actual maneuvers took place over quite some time led to hyperventilation in the 'ancient alien' set, naturally, and the speculation came to be that indeed, some mysterious object or artifact was actually taken off to be securely sequestered in some vault in the Antarctic.
But what is the truth?
What on Earth is the point of ever asking or answering any question in this day and age that contains the word or the phrase 'the truth' in it?!
'A' truth, for anyone who could care less, is that the Five Eyes Secret Surveillance Grouping, spiked the Southern Hemisphere Undersea Telecommunications Cable in at least three different places, one of them being some spot off the coast of New Zealand, via a permanent mission base deep down at the Antarctic.
Now the Southern Hemisphere Undersea Telecommunications Cable itself is actually 'maintained' or even 'owned' by some shady British 'company' registered in Bermuda.
One of the subsidiaries of this company is 'Iron Sands Offshore Mining Limited' which is registered in New Zealand and run by MI6 operatives (I'm not sure if this is breaking any law by me saying this... Anyway...)
It's just acting, dude - if I'd have really hit you I would have killed you, Neil... |
So, let us contemplate getting involved in say, the Nicaragua Canal Project, which superficially has been said to have faced a delay on account of the recent China Equity rundown, and thus some limitation on one of the major financial backers. Meanwhile of course, crypto-currencies have been doing remarkably well and there is no shortage of a bull market there, with the Chinese leading the fray.
...Fcuk me, though; I'm an old man now. The last time I karate'd (he whinged to his boss that I was 'a karate expert' - which I am not) a MI6 operative, sending him to hospital briefly, was at least seven or eight years ago!
So, Jesus H, Muhammad! I'd need some fair incentive to get back into that game with some skin in it.
How'm I doin' on this so far?
