The events in the Middle East are not due to a sudden desire for democracy. It would seem to have a concerted effort behind it. The uprisings in the Middle East appear to have planning and organization behind them. Since Iran is the obvious benefactor behind destabilization, one would have to consider a connection. The quick deployment of mercenaries and protester armies defy a “growing” revolution evolution curve.
What will result in destabilization of the area? Higher oil prices and higher gold & silver prices. Western civilization requires cheap oil to thrive. 2008 has already shown what $147 oil can do to Western economies. From Iran’s point of view, $200 oil would benefit them and destroy the U.S. and Europe economies and their ability to sustain war in the region. U.S. Forces are stretched thin already and our 1.6 Trillion Dollar deficit cannot be permanently sustained. Man is it ugly out there!
$1,600 gold is now well in striking distance and if silver is drawn to its historic 16:1 ratio with gold, $35 silver may be looking cheap. Solid mining companies may provide the savvy investor with a windfall of profits. Hopefully, those with windfall profits will help those in need rather than “rathole” the profits under the mattress. We will soon see who is committed to walk in Love.
