The Peak Of The Oil Wars - 21

The Cathedral of the Bully
Religion (by Kris Kuksi)

Hidden in-plain-sight sayings are written in the stones of silence:

"The enemy aggressor is always pursuing a course of larceny, murder, rapine and barbarism. We are always moving forward with high mission, a destiny imposed by the Deity to regenerate our victims, while incidentally capturing their markets; to civilise savage and senile and paranoid peoples, while blundering accidentally into their oil wells."

(The Peak Of The Oil Wars - 7, quoting As We Go Marching, by John T. Flynn, 1944, page 222; cf. The Peak Of The Oil Wars, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20).

The song "Sounds of Silence" comes to mind in the sense of "in-plain-sight":

"WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Friday that his administration has entered a sweeping agreement with Venezuela that, if realized, could give the U.S. access to vast amounts of the South American country’s untapped oil reserves, at cost. Trump in a social media post announcing the agreement said it was negotiated by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez. “The United States of America has just entered into an Agreement with the Country of Venezuela on, THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY!” Trump wrote."

(AP News, emphasis added). Well hidden in the stones of silence is the memory that this little oil war began because "We are always moving forward with high mission, a destiny imposed by the Deity to regenerate our victims, while incidentally capturing their markets; to civilise savage and senile and paranoid peoples, while blundering accidentally into their oil wells."

Remember that this administration (technically "USA") in order to "to civilise savage and senile and paranoid peoples" invaded that nation using a military posse of ~25 thousand, took their president and his wife into custody, then brought them to Rome D.C. and put them in jail.

The verbal spectacles from the Roman D.C. propaganda machine were that we were only doing justice for the world because that "enemy aggressor" was "pursuing a course of larceny, murder, rapine and barbarism".

Further, this "THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY!” is because we blundered accidentally into their oil wells ("The US actions were not illegal and not a grab for Venezuela’s oil reserves, Secretary of State Marcos Rubio said"; The Straits Times).

So, it was "THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL OIL ACCIDENT IN WORLD HISTORY!”?

And so it goes (The Peak of the Oil Lies, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8).
