Stu I will describe the situation to you as it is and ignore the spin and the official positions and distractions. The conspiracy theory we think we see is not the motivation for the real money grabs that are planned. It is money that enables idealogoies NOT the other way around.

Oil, Gold, Coltan and money...FOLLOW THEM.

Forget the pissing contests and all the other ruses and rabbit holes on twitter.

I will start with Oil. The players are Exxon, Putin's State owned Oi and Aramco. Tillerman arranged oil leases around the world. Some small countries he leased for a % of oil production. Many counties leased around a million square miles up to 4 million sq. miles. Exxon has leased a whopping 14.5 million sq. miles right here in the US.
But the Tillerman Putin lase deal is for ^$.% million sq. miles.
Read that again and again. This happened right before sanctions were put on Russia because of Ukraine aggression and put a road block on all oil production with Exxon.

With Tillerman as Secretary of State and Trump as President what would you Stu think will happen with the Russian Exxon Oil deal that was stopped 5 years ago? Do not forget the biggest Exxon lease oil deal in the world of 64.5 million sq. miles of hard to reach Siberian oil.


Next is the biggest Gold deal ever proposed. Carl Ichan is the biggest share holder in the largest gold mine in the world that can be seen from space. The mine is in Indonesia. The government of Indonesia has tried to shake down the mine for a 20% share but with Trump protection and Icahn new cabinet position an extra 29% of gold profits are insured.


Anyone can follow the money and wealth. But most people only watch the street fight and miss the BIG PICTURE.
