☆ Bermuda Casino Gambling; “Smell Tests” Are Not Required [Due To Sea Breeze]?

News Analysis: The Senate of Bermuda voted to allow for three Gaming Establishments on the island. First one would be built, then the next two would follow. During the Senate debate, the question of strengthening the proposed Casino Law to preclude miscreant behavior was suggested by some Senators. The other Senators thought such negative activities were covered already in Bermuda’s Criminal Code. The “Smell Test”  sought, was dispensed with by the majority.

It is interesting for International Businessmen, of which Bermuda has many, to note that the “Free Market Place” is hardly such. Bermuda Is To Have Casino Gambling; “Smell Tests” Are Not Required [Due To Sea Breeze]?

Internationally, there will always be the lurking “Shtarkers” who want to take advantage of the “Freiers” in all economic activities; the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) Scandal is just one example. Another example is the “Afternoon Gold Fixing Rate” in London.

One can find many examples of Accountants, Arbitrageurs, Bankers, Brokers, Fund Pool Managers, and others looking to ways to “Game the System”; the ‘Morality of the Marketplace” currently being a giant ‘Sinkhole’. “Smell Tests” can be very helpful to the Wise.

One should realize that while the aforementioned activities are actual, the adage to those who want to enter this melee is: “If you are afraid of receiving ‘fast ball pitches’, do not get up to the ‘plate’ to bat.”

Smart International Businessmen always ‘Sleep With One Eye Open”.

Reality.

Russian Oil And Gas Deposit Discovery Bodes Very Well For The Country

News Analysis: A Huge Oil and Gas discovery in Russia’s Far East Area of Sakhalin, contains 464 Million Tons of Oil Deposits and 682 Billion Cubic Meters of Gas. Considering the enormous Oil Shale Deposits in Siberia as well, Russia is a “Horn of Plenty” for Energy Reserves. Also, Coal and Manganese have been mined there for decades; it further verifying the Economic Values of Sakhalin to Russia. The many other Mineral Riches in Siberia are almost limitless.

If one considers the riches of Russia’s Far East, it is very easy to understand why Bankers and Financiers outside of Russia would love to inspire some of their World Puppet Leaders into engaging in Hegemonic Acts against Russia; the country’s Natural Resources are awe inspiring (especially those who think ‘Greed Is Good’).

Since Bankers “Win At War” is a Factually Verifiable Adage, Cabals being schemed against Russia may not be Paranoia at Work; Russia only has to review its History of often being attacked.

The only way to stop Bankers and Financiers from promoting hostilities for their Political Leader Minions to engage in, is to make “Any possible Gain not worth THEIR probable Pain”. 

Russia’s Far East is a Natural Resource ‘Mecca’ (Coveted by many Foreigners); perhaps its Patriotic Leaders would be best advised to “Always Sleep With One Eye Open”.

Reality.
