Golden: Part I of 2

This is the first of two connected pieces to be published ordinally, the nexus of which is as subtle as a freight train.

People residing within the United States ought worry less about what they hear, and more about what they are not hearing. They ought worry less about what they see, and more about what they are not seeing. They ought worry less about what they think they know, and more about what they certainly do not know. Because, you see, there is much they do not hear, there is even more they do not see. The combined effect is that they know very little; in the aggregate.

Thusly, as I have memorialized in ink on many an occasion, the “US” is a product of mass ignorance, it thrives on mass ignorance and it will commit societal suicide due to mass ignorance. So-called “misinformation” is not its problem; missing information is its problem. That’s just irrefutable, stone cold math and nothing from nothing leaves nothing.

Count on it.

Speaking of counting, the recent “US” carjacking of Venezuela has not just taken Venezuelan oil, it has also commandeered the country’s gold for “safekeeping,” imposing sanctions restricting the government’s access to international financial systems and assets. Venezuela is exceptionally rich in gold and possesses some of the largest reserves in Latin America, primarily located in the southern Orinoco Mining Arc. With potential in-ground resources estimated at 7,000 to 8,000 tons. “US” sanctions have forced the Venezuelan government to seek other avenues for selling gold, such as to the “US” puppet United Arab Emirates, to generate liquidity.

A significant, separate dispute involves over $1 billion of Venezuelan gold held in the Bank of England, which has been frozen due to legal and political battles over the legitimacy of the Venezuelan leadership. The Bank of England in concert with the “US” (as usual) has held onto roughly 31 tons of Venezuelan gold, refusing to release it. British courts have ruled against the Venezuelan government in their attempts to recover this gold, acknowledging opposition leader claims instead.

Allow me to digress a tad about my use of the term “carjacking.” Having been born and raised in a place known as Southern California, I am familiar with carjackings. They are an everyday occurrence. Basically, carjacking is the crime of stealing a motor vehicle from its driver or passenger by using physical force, violence, or intimidation. Unlike standard auto theft—where a vehicle is typically taken while unoccupied—carjacking is a form of robbery because it occurs in the “immediate presence” of a victim. The term originates from street slang “jacking.” When someone is jacked, it means to rob them which refers to “Jacksons” as in Andrew Jackson and the $20 bill.

Okay, that’s out of my system, let us go forth.

It could be saliently, and academically, argued that the European/white man is the greatest thief in the history of the world. He steals people, he steals land and he steals resources (among many other things). Yet, he is “proud.” This is his way, it is what he is preprogrammed to do; at least it so appears given the annals of his-story…and mine, too.

Pursuant to this penchant, and his temporal success in Venezuela, he has been emboldened to try the same in Iran. Totally oblivious to the fact that Iran is not Venezuela, not by a long shot. I wonder does he realize that all of his postulations of “supremacy” are impeached, quite literally, by his actions. A query for the ages, indeed.

Two days ago “US” Senator Lindsey “Ladybugs” Graham stated, during an interview on Fox News’ while discussing the ongoing U.S.-Israel war against Iran, that the conflict is a “good investment.” He went on to state that the United States would “make a ton of money“ once the Iranian regime falls. He explicitly linked the conflict to controlling global energy resources. Graham stated that a “partnership” with a new Iranian government would give the U.S. and its allies access to vast resources. He noted that combined, Venezuela and Iran hold 31% of the world’s known oil reserves. He framed this potential control as “China’s nightmare,” suggesting that U.S. dominance over these oil reserves would fundamentally weaken China’s strategic position.

This from a coward that never so much as wore a baseball uniform and is too craven to come out of the closet.

I remind the European that he represents one point four people in ten globally. His hegemony is over. Though his greed may remain intact, it matters not in the final analysis. The world is no longer going to allow him to steal, rape and pillage. Now, he can take umbrage to that stark fact all he wants but that does not change the fact. If he is so greedy that he is willing to blow the planet up because he can no longer reign “supreme” I trust he realizes that he will rid himself of himself as well.

I proffer this treatise not as some lamentation about perception, I am presenting a mathematically‑anchored indictment of historical asymmetry. It is not my intent to be rhetorical, it is my intent to be literal. When I previously mentioned “stone cold math” I am substantiating my worldview with numerical balances and imbalances. A small demographic minority (Europeans/white people) have exerted disproportionate global power through systems built on extraction, enslavement, and appropriation. It is an unsustainable model.

It is mathematically unsustainable.
