[ExI] A paranormal prediction for the next year

[Robert G Kennedy III, PE]

Something much like this already happened once before, in 1985, with 
the same three principals: USA, Saudi Arabia, and USSR.

Read /Victory/ by Peter Schweizer (1994), or /At the Abyss/ by Thomas 
Reed (2004).

Virtually all the Soviet's net hard currency earnings, which provided 
the wherewithal for all their geopolitical mischief in the late Cold 
War, came from commodity exports. The Saudis deliberately colluded with 
the USA to drop the price of oil below the Soviet cost of production 
($10/bbl) and thereby crash the Soviet economy. Concept was hatched in 
1981 by Bill Casey, Reagan's campaign manager, then DCI, when some 
genius figured out what it actually cost the Soviets to produce. Took RR 
4+ years from his first Inauguration Day to close the deal. RR's secret 
economic war against the Soviet Union worked like a charm, and nobody 
really learned the full details for about a decade.

Star Wars didn't end the Cold War, cheap oil did.

It worked once, and I think we're doing it again. The timing of the 
price collapse starting almost right after the MH17 shootdown, and its 
exquisitely narrow effect against adversarial regimes, cannot be 
coincidental. The 'Net being what it is, I don't think it will take 10 
years to learn the real story this time.

Reed came here to Oak Ridge, and I met him. We got on like a house on 
fire.

I wrote a book report - see my site:
