Only Enough Oil For My Lamp

One would like to think that they (IE 'we,' 'I') could have some knowledge or skill or value to other human beings... I no longer think that way.

There are a lot of things I can do - but I cannot do them for others, mostly; mostly I cannot. But I can do them for myself and a few, a tiny handful of friends who in any event all have similar skills and kind of manage to get by.

One friend of ours here very recently got a personal 'invite' to a really upscale hillside restaurant to view some presentation or other about gold and pink diamonds.

Hundred grand at least

I don't think he will go but in case he's tossing up whether to or not I'd advise against it (IE against going).

If those people had have asked him to give such a presentation well, that would be a different matter... Now do you see, Smithy? What's the possible chances they would ever give a better presentation than you could, Smith? Zero Nil Nothing; None At All. 

Selling is a peculiar business. Not all that many really know how to do it although they all claim they can and are experts and everyone in business in the world does it to some lesser or greater extent and everyone has a 'rule book' about it.

Pink diamonds... Hard stones, light or pale red/reddish. Expensive, tend to be small. Hand over your money; and now here's your small pink stone/s. Bye y'all.

In our immediate last article we talked about M. Christophe Claret, the watch-designer and watch-maker. He's been designing and making high end watches for most of the really big brand names for quite a few years - Ulysse Nardin's famous chiming alarm watches were all designed and made by him, to name just one truly prominent brand.

Any kind of quality minute repeater or chiming watch retails for at least a hundred thousand US dollars - but I as I said the actual legit authentic Christophe Claret is half a million. So if you had a half a million, you face the choice of buying either the Rolls Royce Dawn, or a wristwatch... And you'd have no change left over.

FIVE hundred thousand bucks...

But you know the world goes through 'vogues,' sometimes there is a lot of buyer cash sloshing around, sometimes there is very little.

I shouldn't be unkind to pink diamonds per se - I like pink diamonds. 

I'm definitely never unkind to decent restaurants - love those!

The problem today with all of these fellows who make out they are the main game - you know, people like Emmanuel Macron, for example, for god's sake they wear damn notch-collar jackets...

These people are going to end up in the ditch and they will take a lot of other people there with them.

And how do I know this? Because I have this lamp, see, which shines a light a little further ahead into the darkness of the future.

Frankly, the question you want to ask is, what is the 'oil' for said lamp.

Bond Movie Producers Have 'All The Money In The World'

Meaning, they have way enough money to arrange for any car to be in the flick, any accoutrements, any types of guns, planes, helicopters, ships, space-ships, whatever.

Or clothes, shoes, champagne, vodka.

I hope you can start to see the problem with all of these present-day 'action/adventure/thriller' movies - yes they have this formula about playing chase-y around the park, in hot cars, being pursued by serious men in black helicopters, while Bond or Tom Cruise or Matt Damon or Mark Wahlberg or whoever never creases his Savile Row threads not even just a little (slight exaggeration there because I think this latter thing has happened; but you get my point), but is it actually true that the gear is all that hot, really...?

Part of the whole attraction is the suave mindset being show-cased as amazing clothes, and expensive cars - and sheer style.

Or it's meant to be that.

You are forced to watch these 'Eau Sauvage' ads with Johnny Depp right now on Fox, where he drives a classic American car up Route 66 and digs some sand in the cactus desert, and buries something - none of which really makes any kind of sense at all... 

I feel sorry for the kids these days - they are getting a hapless mish-mash, a parody of the old school hard-boiled Raymond Chandler thriller thing, but which doesn't genuinely add up to the genuine article.

You see, no rich person who is savvy, about clothes, or cars, or accessories, or style, uses the kinds of high-priced junk being foisted onto the mass market as 'the genuine article.'

I promised a friend here that I would post a few examples of today's 'real thing' but that I would also pull these pics and articles down after a short while - and I will, so you'd better take note now if you're interested in this kind of affair even just slightly...

Here is a real watch - it costs half a million dollars (literally it is $500,000 and worth every penny:

The Christophe Claret Soprano Minute Repeater -
which chimes out the exact peal of the famous Westminster Cathedral Bells

And here is a brand new - and by that I mean these things are fully handmade brand new from scratch in England - car, about a million bucks each:

You think Lancia is out of business? Oh but no - this is the Lancia Aurelia Outlaw,
and it is brand new to you for around $1,000,000. Cheap at twice the price.

Aurelia Outlaw - better than a Pagani Huayra? You bet.

And here is the proper Chelsea Boot - most kids have no idea that this, is the kind of shoe (boot) worn by John Steed of the Avengers, beneath his Savile Row trouser; this is a Tony Gaziano special (Gaziano & Girling):

Even the great Jason King wore Chelsea Boots, as well as 'whole-cut' loafers and benchmade suedes too, which are among the most difficult of shoes to make properly:

All from the great Tony Girling of Gaziano & Girling, in London and Northamptonshire.

  

Lee Stranahan Bewails

Lee Stranahan is the Washington investigative reporter who actually interfaced with 'Guccifer 2.0, (theoretically, the main intermediary between Wikileaks and the wider media) - and in fact it is on the official government record (because his name was raised in one of the House Oversight Committee hearings in this regard) that he spoke by phone with 'Guccifer 2.0;' this latter being the conduit of the leaked DNC/Podesta/Hillary Clinton email server archives.

He's been on-line via the 'Open Mind' YouTube channel this week bewailing the media circus that was Roger Stone's arraignment hearing resulting from Mueller's bizarre accusations about Stone lying to someone.

Lee Stranahan - this is the Breibart journalist who was the
original conduit of the Wikileaks Clinton emails material

Stranahan was right there on the Court House steps when Roger Stone emerged doing his signature 'Nixon two-fingered salute,' and he made the point that he could have yelled something along with the other reporters there to Stone and everyone would have shut up because they all know what his involvement in all of this is. But no one has the balls - and certainly their producers have forbidden it - to interview Stranahan directly on purpose about the whole subject.

You see, even Robert Mueller has a lot to hide that has not ever been made public at all - yet. And there is a complete conspiracy of silence going on - from CNN all the way to Fox - to refrain from raising the matter of Natalia Veselnitskaya with regard to the Trump Russia fairy tale. This stuff all pre-dates Trump.

Robert Mueller is himself clearly implicated in bringing Veselnitskaya into the USA in order for her to try and gain access to candidate Trump or at least to senior members of his Team - she was barred from entry to the US literally by Mueller and Rosenstein and the FBI earlier, because of the problems with the convicted casino criminal and money launderer Bill Browder and cases in Russia involving Veselnitskaya as a lawyer there. 

German Khan - a seriously top European industrial and commercial
banker, whose son-in-law was charged by Robert Mueller with some nonsense
that will never appear in a final legitimate court hearing.
Mueller is running a 'political threat' backstop scam designed to try and
keep attention off himself and corrupt people in the US for as long as possible.  

Now Browder, has some involvement with Mueller and James Comey -, when it comes to money laundering, via Letter1 Energy and Alfa Bank and their libel suits against Christopher Steele and Orbis - both of whom knew about financial transactions Alfa Bank was making (all of which were totally legal, but it was never a prominent group whose owners and members were not really known about until 'someone at HSBC' leaked all of these details to Orbis). Browder was a client of HSBC, and HSBC subsequently settled a Federal case of money laundering to do with Browder's companies, but not to do with Alfa Bank. Yet what was leaked to the press was that Alfa Bank was a client/customer of HSBC, but not that Browder was and that Browder's companies were among the main money laundering targets!! The other targets were Iranian groups breaking the sanctions with the cash that Obama and Congress had handed to them, and Uranium One, the company that bribed a lot of US officials so that they could take control of US nuclear materials...

Robert Mueller was the head of the FBI section advising Hillary Clinton on the 'sign-off' for granting permission to sell the nuclear materials.

And so I suppose rightly does Lee Stranahan bewail the utter BS that is coming out in the media, and the entirely false trail being laid to do with Roger Stone - who has absolutely ZERO involvement in anything whatsoever.

It's Still Oil

The two big media stories right now, certainly ahead of Brexit and 'the Wall,' are the uprisings in France and in Venezuela.

On the surface Macron himself made the problems there to do with the rising prices of fuel in France, prices he himself raised in the form of extra taxes. However the reality is that behind the scenes he is a representative of the interests that deposed Muamar Gaddafi in Libya in order to steal the oil fields there - he is really nothing more or less than a continuation of the Sarkozy 'government,' Sarkozy being someone who has literally been formally CHARGED with corruption and receiving bribes and illegal funds from the 'new' Libyan oil companies. 

They say this guy on the left, Abdul Benalla, was the personal
bodyguard of Macron, but I say, although he is a brutal killer, he is
an executive of the 'new' Libyan/French oil company PetroPlus Overseas

And in Venezuela it was always well-known that whichever 'side' got their hands on the government there, they would use the cash from petroleum sales (Venezuela does have some refining facilities) to establish themselves as some kind of long term ruling elite.

The fact which should be noted is that Venezuela has THE LARGEST PROVEN oil reserves in the world at around 300 billion barrels, which is larger than the reserves of Saudi Arabia.

One needs to be mindful that the American CIA was always extremely well-aware of all of this and I'm afraid it just is the obvious truth that it was the CIA itself, and not any 'Russians' who enabled the rise to the Presidency of Donald J. Trump. And now they have attained control of Venezuela.

I'm going to have to be a bit brutal and 'honest' here, albeit this is likely not going to stay up very long.

Robert Mueller is a backstop provision if not indeed a probable attempt at a coup to force back into power and authority, 'the Clinton' cartel and you can see, if you take a line through John Brennan and the corporate and private banking money laundering career of James Comey when he was at HSBC - that the Clinton DNC was always funded by the Middle Eastern floating Petrodollar cartel interests, which consist of the largely politicallly unseated Arab wealthy elites who still have simply massive continuous cash inflows from oil revenues since the oil wealth in Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia is distributed along tribal lines, and not actual 'government ownership' lines.

And what do we have instead, from the BBC? We have a heavily -
and obviously - photo-shopped pic allegedly sourced from Reuters,
appearing to show a hundred million bazillion 'red scarf' supporters
of Macron in three different 'mashed together' streets...!
This is what we get nowadays, from the BBC.

Robert Mueller seems to have TWO guns pointed at his head, frankly, though, if what I am 'suggesting' is the case in reality: one from the Clinton/Arab side if he fails, and one from the CIA which is provisioned to see to it that he does fail...

Now... when I say 'gun at his head...' 

Anyway let's try very hard to leave off all of this (except that the news will deny me, I think) and move on to more happy thoughts.

Unusual Phrasing

The recently made public indictments by the Grand Jury (wow, that sounds amazing...) selected by the Mueller Special Counsel's Office, of the Republican political operative Roger Stone, contains the phrase 'friend in the Embassy' and implies in those indictments due to the following-on logic regarding the contents of Wikileaks' release of Hillary Clinton and John Podesta emails - that this 'friend in the Embassy' means Julian Assange.

Now, in context of present circumstances 'friend on the Embassy grounds' or 'property' or 'friend residing in the Embassy' probably does mean Julian Assange - however the shady phrase 'our friend at the Embassy' or a 'friend in the Embassy' is code for 'a friend in the Embassy...'

Which Embassy? The Russian Embassy?
Why should we assume the Ecuadorian Embassy...?

And this has a very specific meaning in the world of diplomatic multi-speak: it means a designated individual person, authorized to convey very strategic information from the very top of an outside country or from so close to that top that it has a lot of authoritative meaning and power, and might be true when other people don't want it (the information) to be. It certainly does not mean Julian Assange; because in the first place Julian Assange was not ever and is not the actual source of any true information, he was the overseer and virtual editor of other people's information-gathering. He was in no position to say for sure whether or not something really was true, only that he believed the way something was sourced was reliable and therefore what it yielded was likely to be true.

Nobody ever disputed that the emails containing details exposing some particular Podesta individual to possible distasteful child sex activities, or Hillary Clinton to massive rampaging fraud and criminal corruption, were in any way other than absolutely accurate and true extracts or actual archived files. The whole entire proposition from the very start even with respect to simple social media rumor at the time, was that somehow the (Russian government) FSB possessed real and totally accurate and complete details of goings-on inside the Obama/Clinton Administration and the DNC - and that it was material to be relied upon because it had the sanction of the Kremlin, really. That is certainly how it was pumped in the media by people like Roger Stone.

See this is code...

It's possible that Robert Mueller wants to imply that Julian Assange is a Russian agent and operative. Of course that would never fly on account of the extensive 'handling' files in the CIA... LOL

And I am telling you and you might as well take it as coming from a friend somewhere not a hundred miles from Langley Virginia, too.

The Grand Jury is composed of 23 people, 12 of whom are required to accept that there is an allowable basis for the Special Counsel to make an accusation in the form of a legal indictment.

So Roger Stone has been accused in a legal form, of lying about his relationship to someone - 'a friend in the Embassy' (literally the phrase used in the indictment) - who was going to confirm certain details rumored to exist in email archive files of communications from Hillary Clinton, and John Podesta, among others.

Robert Mueller's 'investigation' is going nowhere. And that has become very clear.
