Ugly Truth in Black & Gold

In 2021 the 28 largest oil and gas companies together raked in $183.9bn in profits. I can’t imagine that much money, but it doesn’t seem to have been enough for the globalists at the receiving end. In the first 4 months of this years they’ve already “made” $93.3bn in profit, an average increase of 127%.

Why is so much black gold (oil fueled profits) pouring into the great pool of wealth of corporate executives? The media points to the war in Ukraine, inflation, Corona, the crisis, or anything else except the obvious. The Guardian (May 13, 2022), for example, quotes Shell’s chief, Ben Van Beurden, explaining that the company’s performance “has been helped by the macro and the macro has been impacted by the war in Ukraine”. So now we know. It’s the macro’s fault.

The same Guardian article informs us that “the oil companies contend that they do not themselves set the global price of oil”.  The journalist doesn’t ask what does determine the price. It’s our guess. The Holy Ghost? The Macro? The Grandmothers for Higher Oil Prices? The Media in general seems to follow the script, “Say whatever however but do not deal with the obvious!”

Obviously, the oil bosses are taking our money. We are paying more and more. They get more and more. A few thousand people (who happen to be obnoxiously wealthy) become even wealthier, while a few 100 million people get poorer and poorer. No degree in economics is required to understand that the money flows from millions of ordinary and struggling citizens to a tiny group of oligarchs.

Once we allow this undeniable process to become an obvious reality, we open the door to an even greater and much uglier truth. There is no democracy. We, the people, do not want to give our money to a tiny group of giga-wealthy corporate commanders. A tiny minority dictating the conditions for a great majority is plutocracy, tyranny, dictatorship, organized crime, whatever. It is nowhere near a democracy.

We see how oil can be turned into gold. Oil can also be turned into plastic strips that function as handcuffs.
