Mining and Minerals

In Large Infrastructure Projects, Amongst Nations, Some Outsiders Complain; We Ask: “Is The Glass Half Full Or Half Empty?”

We have found over the decades, a rather fascinating theme, issued out by the Puppet Masters’ Masters [PMMs]: Get ‘Germalists’ to decry the infrastructure projects of others as: too costly; too dangerous; too nefarious; too risky; even ‘too-too’. This, while the projects of PMMs are ‘fondled’ by the Press and presented to the public as: Beneficial; Citizens-worthy; Financially-sound; Growth-enhancing; Patriotic, and any of other self-fulfilling praise they can dream up.

In Colombo, Sri Lanka, China has provided funding for a massive port project that will advance the country into a ‘higher financial profile’. The country should grow logarithmically in terms of: corporate headquarters developments; engineering capabilities, financial services availability; commercial marine services, and the like; this, as the buildings are erected. “Cash Inflow” should become Sri Lanka’s reality with this project. It certainly has ‘location, location, location’ deemed essential by the aforementioned industries.

As we have written before, it is our collective opinions that rather than besmirching the ‘Lender-Borrower’ relationship, understand: “No One Coerced Anyone Into Engaging In The Project [No One]. In the instant case, China helped the Sri Lankans; we are unaware of any other of the billion/trillion dollar investment funds or other nations to do so. That China receives contempt from outsiders, for helping Sri Lanka, is pathetic.

As we look to the high North, far from Sri Lanka, in Siberia, investors are welcome to help provide capabilities and funds to develop infrastructure of this great expanse. We hope that a awareness of the potential profitability of such investments will allow businessmen to stay ‘Non-political”, and abandon the rhetoric of ‘also-rans’ who cannot efficiently run their own countries. At 8.0+% of Earth’s land area [13,100,000 square kilometers (5,100,000 square miles)] Siberia has much to offer. Beyond gargantuan forests are huge deposits of: coal, diamonds, gold, gypsum, lead, natural gas, nickel, molybdenum, oil, ‘rare earths’, silver, zinc, et al. Now, distances and terrain, need to be overcome; which they certainly can be dealt with. This ‘Horn of Plenty’ geography beckons those with a ‘Long View’ of business sustainability; not mere ‘Day-Traders’ as some are in London and New York City.

Siberia, with ‘100,000’ rivers, the largest being the Lena, Ob, and Yenisei, infrastructure, as bridges, will be essential. Airports construction, will also be essential, small or large. The famous “Trans-Siberian Railway”, we expect would have even greater expansion through the area in the future.

Our views are Large Projects require: Comprehension of the problem and a viable solution; Superb design; Quality materials for longevity; Efficient Production; Precise Accounting for cost controls; Maintenance Management; and Proper Funding [at a reasonable loan cost]. By dealing with a nation, such as China, in the aforementioned Sri Lanka project, we think each element of the above stated will be attained. China’s vast projects on its own ‘turf’ have been exemplary.

We think that Africa and South America are ALSO ideal for the “Glass being ‘half-full’; this, rather than Germalists’ writings about another country’s ‘Half-Empty’ [shenanigans] of ‘avarice’, ‘deceit’, ‘hegemonic’ intentions on those continents. As we often ask: “Who else is offering to loan billions of dollars to other Nations’ infrastructure projects? Let them stand up and be counted.”

Before giving kudos to besmirchers, ask: “Who are their PMMs.” One might be surprised at the ‘intercontinental’ answers.

Reality: “Older and Wiser” carries a lot of weight; except for the ‘Arrogant’ who ‘know better’.

For Some Nations’ Leaders, The Only “Mine” Of Which They Are Seeking, As To A ‘Green Energy’ Source, Is “Mine” [As In Legal “Possession”]

We have found over the years: Many Attorneys>Politicians>Governments’ Leaders are ‘way over their heads’ when it comes to the subjects of ‘Mining’ and ‘Manufacturing’, while they are very adept at ‘Marketing’. It behooves them to endorse easily saleable concepts such as: ‘Green Energy’ or ‘Zero Carbon’, or ‘Non-Polluting’, or most laughable perhaps ‘Free Energy’! That is why many become Politicians and evolve into ‘Career Politicians’ [what other line of work can they perform competently?]

We, in International Business, have a operational adage regarding the many flamboyant ‘Project Front-Men’ we have met or have seen in the past, and today’s current iterations of the same ilk: “Delusions of grandeur are based on illusions of adequacy”. These “Prophets of Profit” never use their own funds for projects but instead seek out the sheep to invest. Some of the more opportunistic sorts implore foreign corporations to provide funds, since the ‘entrepreneurs’ are so “Connected to the ‘BIG GUY‘” [great success is surely theirs to be].

We can certainly witness, for example, the Rare Earths and Strategic Metals quest currently going on with the Americans. The Selected President, who has probably never seen a mine adit any closer than the ‘big screen’ in a old cowboy movie, is gratuitously endorsing mining operations in several Western States. There are few Presidents in the entire world, like Mr. Macky Sall of Senegal, a Geophysicist by education and career.

Cultural violations are very possible if one only considers ‘mammon’ and not the communities contiguous to mining projects. Analogous to this is the tragedy, a couple of years ago, that befell the aborigines in Australia; both State and Federal Government approved beforehand ‘okays’ for detonations. PERMANENT DESTRUCTION of the cultural artifacts became the reality. Unfortunately, we are of the opinion that the mining corporation took a bigger ‘image hit’ than did the Australian government ‘managers’.

As we have written many times: “There is NO free lunch!”. To drive ‘non-polluting’ electric vehicles is made possible by the: Pollution of the raw materials mined and processed for vehicular and ‘E.V.’batteries production; Pollution in mining and manufacturing electrical transmission lines to proper sites; and Pollution in creating the power-gain devices of windmills, solar ‘cities’, geo-thermal recovery plants, et al. How many countries’ Leaders had the forethought to become “Giants” in ore processing [such as ‘Rare Earths’] as did the Leaders in Beijing?

It is our hope for 2022 and beyond that the Puppet Masters’ Masters, their Acolytes and Minions consider that a possible ‘Fiasco-In-The-Making’ is under the guise of “Clean Air/Earth Atmosphere Temperature Control/Economic Prosperities Re-Located”. The Sheep may gullibly follow the Pied-Pipers off the cliff; or may ‘Wise-Up’. If they realize the effects of Cosmic and Solar radiation, Volcanism, De-Forestation, et al have, they might take exception to the “Electric Vehicle ‘Global Salvation'”and “NAT [Not Always There] Energy sources for what they are: Small Gains at Great Costs. We think that the important thing to remember is: “Altruism for one’s fellow man” is a nice utterance performed by ‘Wheeler-Dealers’ on their way to meet their bankers.

Reality: Selling ‘Grand Concepts’, be they of Commerce or of War, historically are peddled, not by Saints, but by Hawks.

Great Nations’ Leaders Help Their Citizens First; Lesser Concerns Are Dealt With Thereafter [As They Should Be]

The current call for immediate cessation of the use of Coal, Natural Gas, and Oil, has the logic viability of walking across Lake Baikal in the Summer. The well-being of nations’ citizens, especially in inclement weather, must be addressed first. We think that the “Not Always There” {NAT} Energy sources can be used by the “Greenies” as they deem fit. If such sources are not sufficient to keep them warm in the Winter or cool in the Summer, so be it. To these people we say: “The odds of operating a nation successfully, with NAT Energy, is at present, mere wishful thinking. It has the substance and endurance, large scale, of a hologram.

As a nation with strong leadership, such as China, utilizes Coal to maintain high commerce levels, it also seeks other technologies to fuse into its economic system; this takes time. It is what it is.

Another advancement in Oil and Natural Gas exploration is taking place in the Arctic as Russia both develops its Northern Transportation Corridor as well as new fields in the far northern Gydan Peninsula. Russian oil company Gazprom Neft is exploring the resources in this ‘tough’ climate. We expect that Russian scientists will develop technologies to clean the hydrocarbons so atmospheric contamination is minimized. The important fact to consider is that Natural Gas and Oil: Are of immediate use; readily available; provide high levels of energy; and are economical to citizens.

Another area of energy technology developed and proven by Russia are its ‘small’ nuclear reactors. Some are placed in their Ice Breakers, on barges, and can be placed in remote areas for consistent energy, safely provided. The Russian Leaders are to be congratulated, we think, because of their great success in ‘miniaturization’ of nuclear plants; phenomenal! Also, Russia’s minimal country debt allows it the resources to seek new technologies in other energy areas.

The Americans have unfortunately been saddled with a Selected President who, both he and his ‘Crew’ have little, if any, understanding of Energy. Just like the same political party’s leadership in the earlier presidency, that fellow, was adept at shutting down Energy Projects in favor of NAT Energy. Today, fuel for automobiles, heating oil, and the like are at record levels in America due to inept and mediocre ‘littership’ in the White House. The irate public, we assess will create a tsunami of discontent that will sweep the other political party into office.

The Americans penchants for having Attorney-Politicians run the country have put it into a financial bind of $30,790,945,000,000.00+ presently. Unfortunately, these ‘Barristers’ appear to have not taken classes in Economics prior to “Law School”. The unbelievable amount of American debt, ties the country’s hands as to new technologies for Energy development, it would appear. Now do these same Attorney-Politicians say: “Print More Money” [thereby devaluing the currency], we think so.

As we, in International Business, state: “There is NO Free Lunch. Leaders look ahead before you make ‘rash moves’. The solid soil you think you are standing on, may prove to be ‘quicksand’. Other, Wise Nations’ Leaders will laugh as you sink into the morass.” Energy development by Wise Leaders is two-part, minimally, Coal, Natural Gas, and Oil in conjunction with developing NAT Energies, to become more reliable in availability.

Reality: A Politician wearing a fancy suit, a beautiful silk-tie, with hair coiffed, might be hiding behind him, in his hand: a ‘Dunce’ Cap.

Green Energies Are Myths Marketed As: “‘Free Lunches’ Are Attained”

A SUPERB and IN-DEPTH analysis of realities of Green Energy products used in Green Energy projects: Electric Vehicle productions, Wind Vanes, et al, is the report: “The Dirty Truth About Clean Technologies [Mining The Planet To Death]” by “Spiegel International”. This typical “Spiegel International ” quality “holds no punches and tells it as it is” [which is reflective of attitudes of ‘Miners in the real world’].

Our having been involved, in one way or another, in various mining operations on various continents, in projects seeking different minerals, has allowed us insight into ‘mining realities’. One reality that stands out is “There is NO FREE LUNCH in mining.“ Every aspect of this activity is costly. One easy element to present to the inexperienced is: As mineral quantities are reduced through mining removal for processing, more energy is required to find and bring to process, remaining ores.

The fact that other minerals, which exist in large quantities in other countries, than currently used in gasoline or diesel vehicles in America and Europe in particular, create new environmental problems. For example, South American Lithium ore being extracted for Electric Vehicle batteries require prodigious amounts of water for mining activities; gasoline and diesel fuels do not have this need. Mining for wind vanes have Chilean Copper usage, in their designs, way beyond Coal, Gas, and Oil for energy. Coal, Oil and Gas are not accessibility-limited, since they are void of being NAT {Not Always There} Energies, as are Wind and Solar energy forms. That they need ‘filtration’ no one denies. Technological advances will be made since there is much money to be made in doing so. The “Green Energy” modicum is a excellent stimulus, we think.

When the Green Energies are used, as they should be, but in conjunction with existing RELIABLE ENERGY SOURCES, their ‘cost-footprints’ are made at a great distance from the users, as aforementioned. All of the materials for their production and immediate usage, as when one charges up the car batteries, have required assets from somewhere else. If the vehicle drivers for example, are proud of not polluting their communities, they have already polluted other areas [where their energies were sourced]. We think they should not be smug about their “Greenness”; it is a myth.

When one reads the “Spiegel International” analysis, one cannot but admire “German Technological Comprehension”; it is what it is. We, who have participated in mining activities, for decades must applaud the authors. Maybe, after reading the report, a enlightened public will realize that criticizing nations such as China for presently using Coal, as it migrates to Green Energy, cannot be instantly accomplished. The fact that China had the foresight to comprehend the need for ore processing capabilities reflects excellence in governance; “Sour Grapes” attitudes by ‘Germalists’ writing in other nations, do not ‘cut it’. We ask: Why did your countries’ ‘Billionaires’, if they are so smart, NOT think ahead and go into ore processing? Who stopped them? The sames question for your governments. Were they spending funds for hegemonic actions? All too often jealousy, by mere financial opportunists who NEVER take the ‘Long View’, as the Chinese do, look to make the ‘quick buck’; this is their lot. So be it said, so be it written.

President Putin of Russia, a “Horn of Plenty” country, as to mineral wealth, understands and agrees to forge ahead as to processing of ores. Wisely, he knows that ‘added value’ is the benefit to his fine country and is brought about through processing. As Russia mines, processes and sells its products to others, the country with its existing low national debt, may become the world leader in financial responsibility to its citizens; this we see emanating.

Reality: As the Sheep, being readily influenced by ‘Germalists’, leap into ‘Green Investments’, they should realize the ‘Bleating Wolves pushing projects’, may be trying to snare them, and take their monies [before devouring them].

Acerbic Rhetoric, Germinated By Bureaucrats, And Orated By Politicians, Are No Substitute For Commerce Between Nations

We have observed over a number of decades, a insidious phenomena repeated multiple times: Crass and vituperative emanations spouted off by both government bureaucrats and politicians of certain countries. One example that clearly comes to mind, is the recent European transformation of a country by a coup fostered by interests in Washington, D.C.. The bureaucrat that was positioned to lead the insurrection, from across the Atlantic Ocean, orally, when in the entropic country, evidenced a animosity to both a neighboring country as well as to the European Union itself.

Unfortunately, for the aforementioned insurrectionists, in the particular country, a disheveled economy was their fortune. Additionally, geographically located citizens of the nation, decided they wanted to return to their own country, of the past. The wise leader of that large abutting nation, allowed them to return. He had his country’s construction companies build transportation arteries as the nexus between the entities, for egress and ingress. To the great dismay of the insurrectionists and the Washington, D.C. bureaucrats it was performed apace. Both the insurrectionists as well as the bureaucrats mentioned did not fare well as to their cabal; great debts are their fates. In fact, we have discussed with people of many nations elsewhere, who think the cabalists on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, and especially the then-U.S. President, behaved deplorably. This, they opine, is in the spirit of being a hegemonic leader; a President, who before attaining office, NEVER MANAGED ANYTHING [a unfortunate situation for other nations however, a “American tradition”].

A beneficial cadherinic behavior of a Asian nation with its ‘Belt And Road Initiative’, has been with China [a historically, non-hegemonic country]. Connecting nations commercially, not only aids all parties of the nexus, but is of a even greater benefit. The intermingling at the commerce level mentioned, precludes aspirations of military conquest by bureaucrats of ANY NATION. Nations, with wise Leaders, such as China, DO NOT, AND HAVE NOT, attacked militarily, those from which they gain commercial benefit for their citizens through bi-lateral trade. Any bureaucrats, aspiring admirals or generals in countries where trade commerce flourishes, would be most likely castigated for stupidity. China, obviously seeks connectivity for business purposes, where both it and its associating countries ALL benefit. We think, the chagrin, of jealous leaders in other nations is obvious; their ‘Germalists’ create stories seeking to vilify the intentions of other nations who are engaged commercially.

If one looks back in history, it is evident, where impediments to resources are established by unipolar bureacrats and politicians, to the loss of other nations, the latter respond with aggression; time and again! International commerce is a nutrient, as well as a salve, for harmony among nations. We are of the opinion that the oftentimes, bureaucrats in other countries, create catalystic belligerant behaviors affecting the politicians they are supposed to serve [for the benefit of the country’s citizens]. These persons have their own agendas, or of their Puppet Masters’ Masters (as we have written about earlier).

The beneficial reality of the present day is: ‘Business Interests’ are NOT heeding Germalists’ rhetoric. They are deciding what is in their own financial interest. Obviously, engaging Russia commercially is a financially “Sound” idea. Why not conduct business in a land of not only abundant agriculture, educated population, excellent engineering capability, manufacturing excellence, PROVEN natural resources? The increased trade by Americans, in particular, with Russia is excellent. It beats acrimony; especially with a Selected President, who historically never voted against aggression against other countries, when he was a career Senator.

A proof of Russians’ business acumen is the country’s low debt, relatively high, bank trade assets {Gold, et al}, and perhaps best of all, lack of hegemonic attacks against other nations, continents away. The physical attribute of Russia’s mineral wealth cannot be ignored. Wise men will commercially engage the Russians, we think for projects, to not only mine, but also process the mineralizations, for ‘added value’ in export. Why not?

Reality: While aggressive suggestions of bureaucrats inspire some Politicians to hegemonic actions, Wise Leaders understand if they endorse the rhetoric, and act, they may sink in the slime of failure, while the bureaucrats scamper away in the night, like the cockroaches they surely are.

When: “What Is Yours, Is Ours” In Mining Occurs, Tribes Become Irate At The Interlopers From Other Continents

Our varied interests in Geology in general, and ‘Mining’ more specifically, over the decades, have allowed us to see the worst side of many Corporations [‘Earth Extraction Entities’ (EEE’s)]. All too often, they have sown the ‘Seeds of Discontent’ in the areas of land they mine or desire to mine. This has repeatedly been done around the world.

In Australia, we had previously written of the destruction of aboriginal artifacts through explosions in mining areas: approved in advance by elements of an Australian state government and EEE’s management. The damage done cannot be corrected. To the aborigines, what has gone, will only remain in their collective memories of their noble past.

In Africa, ‘Artisanal Miners’, who merely want to have a mere scintilla of a morsel of the diamonds, emeralds, gold, or silver they find with their hand and shovel diggings; in ocean shores, in riverbeds, or in jungles, to be sold to support their families. Large mining companies from continents afar, typically get law enforcement authorities to toss them off properties, using undo force. The management of many EEE’s do not care for the locals economic plight. They merely want the extracted mineralization at the lowest possible price [rather than ‘fair market value’]. Presently, more of the African governments are reviewing earlier mining agreements prior administrations contracted. They are finding rampant bribery to former government officials by mining companies. Furthermore, the monies attained were sent to bank accounts in Panama and elsewhere. This was the situation in Angola, for example. The citizens of the countries victimized were promised Gold, but given spoons plated with Chalcopyrite. The governments are demanding ‘Fair Market Value’ of the ores mined, not ‘Peanuts’ typically negotiated.

In northern India, artisanal riverbed rock miners have had a hard time to extract from various areas. They have decried the fact of being denied access to streams to engage in mining. Fortunately, it appears that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Damodardas Modi, has heard of their issues and is getting ‘officialdom’ in the territory to examine the facts involved. One would expect no less of this gentleman.

Papua New Guinea, has vast mineral reserves, of which Gold is a priority of EEE’s. A problem in the country, of which there are a number, is the damage done to the rivers and streams due to contamination to the watershed. In fact, this is a expansive issue with Gold mining everywhere on Earth. ‘Heap Leaching’ is employed with Potassium Cyanide or Sodium Cyanide being sprayed over the extracted ore to release the Gold from the rock. Percolation into the soil is possible where voids are present in the ‘material liners’ on which the ore is dumped. Where percolation occurs, contamination can become widespread in the immediate vicinity. Also, if a crack develops in piping taking the ‘Pregnant Liquor’ to the ‘Carbon Trees’ for convergence of Gold Particles with wire ‘wool’ contained therein, contamination of the soil underneath is probable; fauna and flora are thereby jeopardized. ‘PNG’ citizens demand accountability of the EEE’s.

In Bolivia, the indigenous groups’ lands, of which the EEE’s have been or want to mine, are upset as to the terms of contracts that have been signed. They demand dissolution of the agreements and want new, ‘balanced and fair’ terms entered into. Again, it will take Bolivian Leaders with the integrity of a Indian Prime Minister Modi, to review the complaints. They need to get their bureaucrats to renegotiate equitable terms for the citizens of Bolivia in general, and the affected tribes specifically; rapprochement should occur. Since the “Seeds of Discord’ have been sown long ago, we think the possibility of hostilities are too important to not act decisively. Physical belligerence may soon happen, with all participants losing, as a result. We anticipate the Bolivian government will understand the grievances of the tribes and deal fairly with them as well as with EEE’s, so all parties ‘win’.

It has been demonstrated, companies mining in Russia, have gone to great lengths so landowners, neighbors, as well as the environment where mining is presently occurring, are satisfied. The wise Russians learned for experiences of years ago, as to the benefits of responsible mining. In fact, EEE’s in other countries of the world, should look at Russia’s mining ‘Horn of Plenty’: Siberia [for mining extraction and processing investment opportunities]. The resource riches of Siberia, other world leaders can only dream about.

Long-term rewards in Mining, are available to only be attained by the Wise.

Reality: Mining is a industry where ‘Good Business Opportunities on Solid Ground Are Discovered, May Be Located On Quick Sand: A Mirage Is, As A Mirage Does’.

Avarice + Hegemony + Narcissism Of Amoral Leaders = The Costs Of Wars

As businessmen in International Commerce, active and passive, we have gotten used to the aforementioned elements of some American leaders, in particular, and a few of other Nations’ leaders in general. This, as to their consistent ‘Puppet Masters’ Masters [PMMS] ordering ‘leaders’ behaviors’ in encroaching on the sovereignty of other nations. The costs in doing so can be prodigious. One excellent encapsulation of such hegemonic antics is in the fine analysis of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.

The Brown University Report: “Costs of the 20-year war on terror: $8 trillion and 900,000 deaths” succinctly quantifies these activities as to current costs and projected costs for remediation of SOME injured combatants. The enormity of scale is further enhanced by understanding that [recently] a ‘mere’ THREE AMORAL AMERICAN PRESIDENTS were high advocates of foreign escapades; with a fourth President resolute about stopping ‘Endless Wars’ (for which the American Establishment {Puppet Masters’ Masters/PMMs} focused on terminating his re-election).

A example adding to the injurious attitude of peoples of other countries, against such presidents’ hegemonic behaviors, was the assassination of the main perpetrator of the New York and Washington, D.C. “Sneak” attacks; this, rather than taking him to the United States for Criminal Prosecution as U.S. legalities require. Some people say: “A summary execution; In Court, perhaps he might have ‘talked about PMMs'”. In our many travels, we have heard time and again, about: “The machine-gunning of the man in his pajamas, after he was awakened by the Americans.” The ‘Constitutional Scholar’ U.S. President apparently was of the legal opinion as to the killing: ‘de minimis non curat lex’?

Hostile sentiments far and wide are gained by deviant behavior, if committed by: ‘The Most Powerful Nation in the World’. In fact, it was ONLY by the analysis of a Businessman/President [rather than the run-of-the-mill Politician/Presidents the U.S. has ‘cherished to its present financial deep hole’] who said “Endless Wars must stop”. He recognized the ‘Lose/Lose/Lose’ nature of military forays and regional wars.

The PMMs who dictate to many world leaders the behaviors they want of their immediate underlings, do not concern them as to financial costs of Nations nor lives imperiled of others. Instead, they amorally plan for their financial gains around the world via: Designed economic collapses of nations, Pandemics, or Wars; whatever works is sufficient, as long as it is of proper scale.

The last several weeks in Afghanistan, as we had analyzed long ago, was inevitable, in that the PMMs decided to ‘pull the plug’ on the country [for opportunities elsewhere]. Now, the entire world must be cautious as to the proliferation of American arms and equipment being sold globally to hostile interests. The huge entrepot of materials in Afghanistan, we think assure, dissemination for decades. The Afghanistanis are a nation of Tribal Businessmen: “Commerce is, as Commerce does”.

To all of those people who have lost family members and/or friends, we can only say: The pains they experienced, due to the absolute ignorance of a few arrogant political leaders, they no longer have to suffer. Even those political leaders, no matter how hard they collude or try, cannot further harm them, nor touch the Goodness of the Man Above with whom your loved ones are with presently.

We think, perhaps if the United Nations was resolute about evaluating wars and thereafter, would conduct tribunals to see if the designation of ‘War Criminals’ was apropos for some of the leaders of the hegemonic nation[s]. Perhaps if found guilty and severely punished, these same politicians would think twice about listening to the PMMs [who were never elected by anyone, anywhere].

Reality: Strong acid in a safety container, will eventually destroy the safety container.

As Geologists and Oceanographers Precisely Predict Above Sea And Undersea Mountain Collapses, Causing Tsunamis Afar, So Too It Is For “Societal” Tsunamis

We, who have watched the machinations of Business and Government leaders over the many years, are amazed at the public’s consternation of some of their actions. Citizens, Employees, and Investors fail to realize that these Puppet Masters are themselves controlled by their own Masters: the Puppet Masters’ Masters [PMMs], as we have often written.

If one concentrates on the “Activities in valleys”, as are the cases for many Intelligence Agencies, Investors, Militaries , and the like, they will never comprehend the desires and implementations commanded by those on the “Hills Above”, near, or on continents far away.”: PMMs.

It is interesting to note of Afghanistan, that the American Selected President [with assistance of a complicit Main Stream Media, Internet ‘Socializing Sites’, and 489+/- former Admirals, Generals and Intelligence Chiefs], a man of 36+ years in the U.S. Senate, so amazed his underlings as to his decision to abandon both peoples and armaments. The fact that his military was fighting a absolutely dedicated foe of Pashtuns [with a lengthy and significant culture] and their associates, should have caused pause, by he and his predecessors in the U.S. White House. Instead, at the behest of the Intelligence Agencies and Militaries, of his and other Nations, they collectively thought numerically and equipment-wise, they would win. After TWENTY YEARS of killing and maiming American and other forces, they still did not ‘Get It’: A WILLFUL, PIOUS ENEMY does not surrender, being a intractable foe.

The fact that this Commander-In-Chief decided to ‘throw in the White Towel’ is not surprising at all because he followed the dictate of his Masters. They, amoral as to ‘social engagements’, decided, obviously, they had much more to gain by stopping the war IMMEDIATELY [and with NO removal of armaments (Very Important)]. He will obviously deny any such relationship to PMMs exist for him. How could he admit such? What do you think kept him in office for 36+ years?  His superior performance in the U.S. Senate? His legendary hegemonic behavior, of which we had written, was well-noted by other Nations’ leaders. His continually calling erroneously, international actions, was even noted publicly by a former U.S. Intelligence Chief.

At the present, there are many of you in business that NEED TO KNOW, what will be happening in both the immediate future, by this debacle, as well as beyond the horizon future actions of the PMMs. Since we, over the decades, have both interfaced with some, and have identified and analyzed other PMMs around the world, we can help. Standing on the top of Mount Olympus, gives one a great view of the hills and valleys below. As the PMMs, on the hills, near and far, decide what is best in their interests, the health and wealth of the citizenry not being of their concern, they plot their next moves.

It is our collective opinions that: Very soon, conditions of many people, many places, many Nations around the globe, will face ‘Tsunami Effects’ dispersing from Afghanistan; yet, there are business opportunities that will also arise. The important thing is to anticipate the PMMs desires and the tactics they will employ to make their gains around the world.

To those of you wise enough to comprehend some of what lies ahead or want to understand the totality of possibilities of the  ‘Afghanistan Tsunami’, we say contact us for a meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada for our carefully assessed analyses.

We think the tremors will be felt globally for quite a while. It behooves the Wise to consult us. We have, confidentially, over the long while advised others, we can advise you. After all, the ‘miserable results’ the many Intelligence Agencies have historically provided their governments, via billions of dollars spent, does not mean you, as a individual or business, cannot be successful; this, by listening and hearing from those who are beholden to no one.

Reality: Men with Money, to satisfy their egos, love to display it to others; Men with REAL Power are phantasmal, for omnipotence, and omnispresence have their own rewards.

If People Do Not Want To Go Around The Mountain, They Can Call On The Chinese, Or Other Experts, To Go Through It

It is always of great interest to see Infrastructure Experts drill tunnels, build expansive bridges, hydro-electric plants, and such. A group of “Masters” of such events are the Chinese, for example [as they have shown again in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) tunnel project].

The Hajar Mountains has been a obstacle to travel in the UAE for centuries. The Chinese were contracted to design, construct, and implement a 1.7 kilometer (1.05 statute mile) train tunnel, of 14 meters (46 feet) in diameter through the mountain. The China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation, in conjunction with Etihad Rail commenced construction in 2020 and should complete the entire project later this year.

There are many such Infrastructure projects, around the world, of even greater size than the aforementioned, completed by other Engineering Companies. We, in International Business, applaud them all. The skill sets required of each: To comprehend the complexities of the projects; Design and Perform to those needs; and do so, within budgets is laudable. The fact that so many nations are proceeding with such projects, as to Infrastructure needs of their citizens, is very good.

We have noticed, as a contrary, the politicians in Washington, D.C., in conjunction with their military advisors, have been so consumed in entering military forays, around the world, since World War II, that Infrastructure of the U.S. has been a consistent ‘also-ran’. Today, the Nation’s, $29+Trillion of ‘Direct Debt’ limits PRUDENT expenditures to support Infrastructure construction needs.

The unfortunate level of America’s debt will only get worse with ‘Trillion of Dollars’ thrown into the deep ‘money pit’ which exists. Fanciful Infrastructure projects emanating, will be certain, we think, to benefit families, friends, and other associates of the current politicians [who are proposing such construction activities]. Since they have all been ‘asleep at the wheel’, for so many decades as to the subject of Infrastructure, we are skeptical of their motives. Many of them are about ready to retire; perhaps they want additional funds beyond what they have already gained over the years? Career politicians, most are. They were of moderate means commencing “Service to their Country”, and many will leave as multi-millionaires. Voila!

We recommend, to the younger generation that it consider Civil Engineering careers as excellent ways to help oneself, as one ACTUALLY helps one’s country. Ethnocentric considerations can provide the impetus to succeed, while studying, Chemistry, Engineering, Geology, Physics, and other science subjects. Ancient cultures prove this is the case: Look at the Great Wall of China, a miraculous engineering feat, by those who understood the aforementioned science subjects.

Reality: While Tunnels help people to get from Point ‘A’ to Point ‘B’ quickly, Strong Walls make for Good Neighbors; Both require Civil Engineering.

“Trust, But Verify”(TBV) Applies to National, As Well As Private Business ‘Deals’. In Mining, Experienced ‘Professionals’ Can Find The “Realities” That Exist [Good Or Bad].

In the Kingdom of Lesotho in southern Africa, its fabulous diamond mines in the Maluti Mountains, have delivered some very large stones. In fact, at 10+ carats, in size, Lesotho is quite unique in producing larger numbers of diamonds. Today, the government in Maseru, has questions being asked as to the correctness of diamond appraisals by the mining interests operations in the Kingdom. The government realizes it needs a impartial independent appraiser to verify the quality and presumably the carat counts of diamonds mined. Since it behooves all concerned to “TBV” account data submitted to it by the mining companies; so to does it benefit the mine managements. A independent auditor will demonstrate to both the government as well as the population that proper funds are being received for minerals exported.

Another example of TBV is occurring in Peru as the government wants to make certain any mine expansions and production of Gold that is exported, is in full accord with the contracts signed years ago. The American principal mining company management apparently is helping facilitate the Peruvian government’s requests. Wisely so.

A somewhat unseemly situation in Tajikistan is unfolding as to a large gold mining operation there. In Dushanbe, there is concern that approximately 10.0+ billion dollars of gold have been acheived by a North American mining company, with Tajikistan only receiving 1.0+ billion dollars. Now, TBV is being demanded by the attentive President of the Country, Emomali Rahmon. Since Tajikistan has very large deposits of Gold, proper appraisal and auditing is essential for future mining activities. Fortunately, for Tajikistan, as a ‘business behavior contrary’, Chinese entry into other mining activities in the country should benefit it. China’s historical “Long View” of endeavors, diminishes the avarice shown by businessmen in other countries. Han Cultural logic: “The steady rain is better than one downpour”, is very true.

In Argentina, Lithium mining is in ‘full swing’. We hope the mining companies will continue to honor commitments to water preservation and recycling so indigenous peoples in the locales, and fauna, will not suffer. Buenos Aires has the TBV commitment we assume, to keep contractual terms in full force.

The State of Nevada, in America, has a very large Lithium deposit near the Oregon border. At present, the Canadian owned mining company is being evaluated by a U.S. Federal judge as to its assurances that its mining activities desired, will be in full compliance with all laws. This TBV activity benefits all parties, the general public, and the fauna residents in the immediate area.

Reality: As robots, properly programmed, do not err, humans do, (accidentally or ‘on-purpose’); vigilance is, as vigilance does.
