Directed History, the War on Iran and Gold-for-Oil
"The EU has delivered on its threat to ban the import of crude oil from Iran, in response to its nuclear programme. The latest round of sanctions prohibits any new oil contracts, while allowing for existing deals to run until July. But Tehran is apparently finding ways to keep business pumping. Reports say Iran will keep supplying one of its biggest customers − India − but will get payment in gold instead of dollars." – RT
Dominant Social Theme: The world is in a downward spiral. So many things going wrong at once. Bad luck!
Free-Market Analysis: We've waited a bit to comment once more on what may be an upcoming Iranian war, but that's only because we wanted to see if a pattern was emerging that we could make sense of.
The power elite, as we see it, is increasingly threatened by what we call the Internet Reformation. To counteract it, the elites have turned to the same playbook they used to try to counteract the first big information revolution that occurred after the discovery of mechanical printing (the Gutenberg Press).
It was only after the advent of the Gutenberg Press that "copyright" was brought into force – a legal maneuver that was admittedly and frankly intended to stop the propagation and dissemination of material that the state found undermining to its authority.
Wars and revolutions were fomented by the powers-that-be as well, to try further retard the impact of the information that was being purveyed by mechanical presses.
At the same time, the powers of the day were under significant attack. We speculate that one of the reasons for the creation of the secretive Illuminati was because of a need to withdraw from the public scene.
At the same time as secret elite societies were forming, the divinity of the royal reign was being challenged. As a result, various forms of electoral empowerment spread throughout the Western world.
Was all this coincidence? Once we would have thought so, but not now. We figure the power elite beat a tactical retreat but continued to maneuver, even more powerfully, behind the scenes.
We think we can see the same kind of maneuvering going on today. The elites need war and we've noted many times that the countries they've destabilized in Africa and the Middle East are mostly secular ones – and the replacements are bound to be Islamic.
Thus, we can see the formation of a kind of Islamic crescent that can only increase world tensions should the Anglosphere elites and their bought-and-paid-for mainstream media wish to position these increasingly Islamic regimes as part of a unified Western opposition.
Then there is Iran itself. We've pointed out in a number of articles now our suspicions that initial Iranian revolution – despite its seeming anti-Western tilt – was in a sense supported and even fomented by top Anglosphere elites.
It is fairly apparent in retrospect that the Shah of Iran was removed at least partially due to Western arrangements. Reportedly, he wouldn't cooperate in building a new port and contemplated increasing the supply of Iranian oil beyond what Western elites desired. Just do an Internet search for "Iranian revolution" and "Daily Bell" to see more. Saman Mohammadi has written on this issue as well (The Excavator blog).
So to sum up, we have a situation where the West is willy nilly building some sort of Islamic Crescent that will surely only inflame tensions and expand the so-called "war on terror." At the same time, we have reports on the Internet about how the West – the Anglosphere elites really – helped undermine the Shah, which gave rise to the so-called Iranian revolution.
Additionally, we have a situation in which India and possibly China are now beginning to buy oil from Iran using gold. This fits right in with our theory – certainly a speculative one! – that the Anglosphere power elite that wants world government is also intent on creating a one-world currency, possibly with gold backing.
This is how directed history works, in our view. Over and over the top elites fund various revolutionary entities and then, via war or perhaps diplomatic tension, create the outcomes that they seek. It looks "logical" to an observer, especially one who is separated from the actual events by years or decades.
But we have been given the gift of the Internet – and it has allowed us to put together many pieces of the puzzle. The elites funded both Hitler and Lenin. That's fact. To assume that Money Power is directing the current events in the Middle East is not such a stretch, especially when there is apparent evidence for these hypotheses.
What are we to do with such knowledge, assuming we're reading the tea-leaves properly? Well ... that's up to the individual observer. The kinds of changes the elites are apparently contemplating are sizable indeed and involve a good deal of social dislocation. Once one becomes convinced of that, decisions, perhaps, become easier to arrive at.
In the meantime, it behooves all of us to pay close attention to the news, both domestically and globally. Whether or not war is in the offing, events are moving quickly and those who don't try to anticipate the rush of events may find themselves "behind the times."
RT can be a good place to gain alternative views of Western news, or occasionally straightforward summaries. Here's a video on the issues we've just discussed:

Seems India and Iran are taking my advice. In order to free yourself from the monetary manipulations of elite bankers, price contracts in gold and pay in whatever currency is convenient. Of course, US citizens are prevented by law from so practical a solution. Maybe it's time to rethink and re legislate that.

Interesting that this is the tactics used by the US to force Japan to attack Pearl Harbor.Sanctions against Japan and blockage of oil into Japan.

Bischoff: "Since the Iranians already know that the will win any conflict with the U.S., what's stopping them... ??? Are they just waiting for the right moment... ???"
Well, how about this: Neither is "Iran" particularly "belligerent" nor does it seek war - just like in the last couple of centuries - while you fell (and still fall) for neoconservative propaganda, apparently?
Bischoff: "The U.S. does not want to attack Iran. Iran wants to close the Straits of Hormuz"
"Late last year, Congress agreed to a request from President Bush to fund a major escalation of covert operations against Iran, according to current and former military, intelligence, and congressional sources. These operations, for which the President sought up to four hundred million dollars, were described in a Presidential Finding signed by Bush, and are designed to destabilize the country's religious leadership. The covert activities involve support of the minority Ahwazi Arab and Baluchi groups and other dissident organizations"
July 2008

The above as well as the unwarranted sanctions and embargoes constitute acts or war - on the part of the U.S.
In fact, the U.S. war against the people of Iran started not later than 1953:

So what... ??? The U.S. does not want to attack Iran. Iran wants to close the Straits of Hormuz.
Since the Iranians already know that the will win any conflict with the U.S., what's stopping them... ???
Are they just waiting for the right moment... ???

Some rumors:
I saw a comment elsewhere that one side benefit is to get India cheap oil,... cheaper than it otherwise could,... and stiff the groups that were getting the oil.
Investing and shorting by the power elite? Not just in companies, but of nations/People/systems?
Also, another comment - from India - saying, gold is not being considered, the deal is for rupees and yen.
But you all prolly already knew that by now.

i think it is a great idea to buy whatever you want with whatever the other party will accept as fair payment. Iran should have switched to gold over paper decades ago. I don't think that the sanctions will take place if the oil for gold deals go through, the gold will be pouring into Iran and with no where to spend it cause of sanctions they will end up sitting on treasure the size of Smuag's.

The response would most likely be an attack on Iran would it not? Wasn't that why Libya's regime became persona non grata; talk of introducing or the actual implemtation of the "gold backed dinera", I believe it was called?

Unlike you, I am not adept at sorting through these posed imbroglios.
A problem for the City of London Money Mafia is that their sovereign bonds are at real risk of default. The only way to prevent such is for enslavement of debtors or the seizure of their real assets.
I do not see how the actions of China, Russia, India, Venezuela, UAE, etc. -- of setting up non-dollar/non-Euro payment systems -- benefits the City of London Money Mafia. In fact, it seems destined to speed the default of their U.S. and European sovereign bonds.
Sure, the CoLMM's gold and silver would rise dramatically in case of a sovereign default. And, chances are that they have title or possession of the U.S.' 8000+ tons of gold.
But, does the CoLMM control not only the U.S. and Europe, but China, Russia, India, and others, too, with their large reserves of gold? Or, may there be truth to the workings in the background against the CofLMM in the Tropos and Japanese/Italy/Switzerland bearer bond incidents?

We think they may. They did, formally, a century or two ago. Did they REALLY cede full control in India, China, etc? Or are there power elite nexuses within these country yet cooperating with the City of London?

[That's why they are so belligerent. They continue the development of nuclear weapons, and they threaten closure of the Straits of Hormuz. However, if the Iranians are ever perceived to actually follow through on their threats, the U.S. military will come down on them so fast, they won't know what hit them] Bischoff
(That's why they are so belligerent)
Oh! Gee, You mean they won't obey there daddy's wishes,,, you know, reinstate another kind and gentle Shah that will kill and oppress them?... just like the one we installed back in 1953?
(They continue development of Nuclear Weapons)
And where is your proof? The US Government? From my toddler days all I can remember is lies coming from them... and when the USG lies the EU brown shirts in Brussels swear to it.
If they weren't developing a nuke I'd think something was wrong with them. With a big blowhard bully out there swinging his club I'd be trying to find me a club just as big.
(they threaten closure of the Straits of Hormuz.)
What?, you think the straits are some part of the US Kingdom? Ask Britain how good naval ships hold up to today's missile technology. Naval Fleets have been outdated for decades. They only stand up when bullies attack nations like Libya or Iraq. There is scuttlebutt that the USS Enterprise was sent in the Gulf as a sacrifice. I find it plausible when one looks at the Gulf of Tonkin... . another USG lie.
( the U.S. military will come down on them so fast, they won't know what hit them)
A USG paid vacation in Vietnam (1969) gives me some insight in this area. Strip away just a little technology and US Forces are actually easier to resist as this determined itty bitty asian nation proved... As Afghanistan and Iraq are proving.
Respectfully Sir,,, I think you may have contracted Orwells BlackWhite syndrome.

When the dollar is down 50% then they will gently offer SDR or whatever "otherwise this is going down some 50% more of what's left... or maybe more. The markets are merciless, you know, we really never anticipated such a disaster, you see, we don't have a crystal ball. Anyway, this time will be better, we won't repeat the same mistakes."

Iran being able to sell oil for gold at their quoted price is a pipe dream. It's never going to happen, as long as there is the "irredeemable" USD currency accepted universally in payment of oil bills.
The world price of crude oil is set by the Saudis in USD. It is enforced by OPEC production quotas. Iran can get gold for its oil, but only at at the exchange rate for USD as set in the precious metals markets. The value of the USD is derived from the quote of oil in USD. The "gold price" in the precious metals market follows the value of the USD in a perfectly synchronous manner. (It means that Gold is the fixed value standard, not the USD).
As I said, the USD has value, because the Saudis quote their oil in USDs. They can make their price quote stick, because they are the marginal cost producer, and because they control OPEC production quotas. Furthermore, the delivery of Saudi crude oil out of the Persian Gulf is guaranteed by the U.S. military. These facts alone insure that the value of the USD will be maintained for a while yet to come.
Iran can be paid in gold for its oil, but only at the Gold/USD exchange rate. The Iranians don't like this Saudi/US oil price fix giving value to the USD. That's why they are so belligerent. They continue the development of nuclear weapons, and they threaten closure of the Straits of Hormuz. However, if the Iranians are ever perceived to actually follow through on their threats, the U.S. military will come down on them so fast, they won't know what hit them.
Those are just the facts. The entire world monetary system, as well as the world economic system, depends on the USD keeping its value. Countries still can pay their oil bills with USD. As long as that continues, the USD will be in demand.

"This is how directed history works, in our view. " Obviously this Anglo-Elite is confined to a small group of conspirators. Russia has voiced opposition to further sanctions and Iran will have no trouble selling its oil in gold or Chinese or Indian currency. Iran also does not have a nuclear arms program in the way it is portrayed in the news. The REAL object of the West is Regime change. It is interesting to note that Saddam started trading oil for other currencies, Gaddafi also was abandoning the dollar and now Iran. In the case of Iran two other super powers will prevent any such direct meddling. We skeptics need to once again see the strong evidence and have it vetted before the world before we will believe there is a sinister covert arms program.

Sorry, hit wrong key and computer sent message twice before it was finished.
Meant to add: Video said Iran would close Straits of Hormuz through which 30% of world oil was shipped if Iran oil shipments blocked. Then photos of U.S. war planes on aircraft carrier, and reminder of U.S. promise to not let this happen. i.e. pretext for war being fabricated.
Gullible public that bought into non-existent weapons of mass destruction trumpeted by NY Times and Judith Miller for Iraq invasion... A sure election winner is no doubt the Obama calculation, as he trumps the GOP neo-cons; leaving only a little class warfare mopping up against Romney. Winning the election is Dem strategy.

I've been hearing about an Iranian oil "bourse" for a number of years, but never seen anything actually come to fruition. Could this be its start?
I've always wondered what the Anglosphere's response would be if Iran completely rolled over and stopped its nuclear program but started selling its oil only for gold. Which do you think would the establishment hate more?

So you think it's possible that Iran, India and China are playing into the Money Mafia's hands by using gold to pay for crude. I was hoping that play would come as a surprise and start to crumble their plans. At any rate looks like we'll find out fairly soon. I would be amazed if Money Mafia can navigate this whole mess without losing control.
The problems with the euro, inflation in the BRIC's and the US economy in the crapper seems like a tough situation to get out of without losing some grip. Seems like we would need to see some sort of model come out of a lame stream mouthpiece showing how a conversion to a SDR currency would work before they get really serious about such a plan. Most people in the states can't imagine using anything but the dollar for trade. To throw a currency change at them would appear to invite civil unrest. Especially if that currency change resulted in a 50% devaluation of their holdings.

Interesting... China & India buying Iranian oil with gold, not US Dollars. With Iran shipping only 20% of its oil to Europe, sound like Iran will do OK & the US Dollar & diplomacy will take another hit. The US Dollar is ever more rapidly losing its world reserve currency status. Not good for the average American that doesn't really understand how lucky they are to have the US Dollar as the world's reserve currency.
