Re Aramco: The ads, on digital display in Times Square, that say that they'll get around to renewables after 50 years or so of fossil depletion. That, they say, is true "sustainability." These ads are similar in voice to those of Repsol (Spain) and Exxon: that "we" are going to do the transition to renewables, e.g., microalgae, but after we've kept up the cash flow with fossils, and supply of hydrocarbons is OUR business. This is exactly what a Shell executive (in charge of tar sands; he flinched when he said that) explained to me in 2013, also remarking on a college classmate who became No. 3 there (since then dead): "you will not be allowed."
</div>
<div>
In effect: this is our busines, by "divine right." The same right that gives the King the control of the forest: see enforcement of that in the opening scene of "The Young Karl Marx."

Much better, we would also observe that most of the petroleum

So, if you want to mobilize social and economic forces to supersede

the petroleum industry, you need a wider revolt against royalism.

Another example now, as stated by the person in public, is the

of Xi Jinping. (another question is about Putin; does Tsarism continue?)

To do the video you will have to buy the princess dolls and get a

I discovered the Disney princess obsession from reading to my

<div>
pissed off by the narrative that I taught
</div>
<div>
Sophia about how in the French Revolution all the princesses

<div>
had their heads chopped off. We made drawings with chalk on
</div>
<div>
the pavement of heads being
</div>
<div>
chopped off. Her mother got angry, saying that I was
</div>
<div>
teaching violence. No,

<div>
I said in angry retort, I'm teaching History.
</div>
<div>
<br>

<div>
Hopefully, the lesson sinks in. Princesses or wannabe
</div>
<div>
princesses should die.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
The fantasy women have of getting all their needs met by
</div>
<div>
deliveries, from
</div>
<div>
Amazon, from Fresh Direct, from the corner pizzeria, results
</div>
<div>
directly from the

subordinates itself to

royalism.
</div>
<div>

<div>
Remember: one of the biggest investors in Walt Disney,
</div>
<div>
especially in the 100-year bonds, is Saudi Arabian royalty.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Thus, the US becomes a prisoner of royalist energy policies
</div>
<div>
of Saudi Arabia,
</div>
<div>
UAE, Kuwait, Britain (BP & Shell), Netherlands (Shell),
</div>
<div>
Norway (Equinor), Spain (Repsol), and two autocratic

If you do, then--I ask--please forward these thoughts
</div>
<div>
to Guillermo and Agustina.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
I wake up full of desires to make history.
</div>
<div>
The stagnation of my entire life is too much.
</div>
<div>
Now, Bezos must fall, Bolsonaro must lose,
</div>
<div>
the Amazon must be saved, Physiocratic
</div>
<div>
management of land/water must begin,
</div>
<div>
Putin must get an imaginative start to his
</div>
<div>
next 8 years in the Kremlin, the reservoirs
</div>
<div>
must be cleaned out, and we must be rich.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
The complete collapse of Bezos is entirely
</div>
<div>
possible. Such happened before in history.
</div>
<div>
If people no longer believe in a company
</div>
<div>
or its head, the whole thing can disappaer
</div>
<div>
within months.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
To drive the point home: we spearhead any
</div>
<div>
attack on Bezos with an attack on what I
</div>
<div>
hated to even touch when I visited Harvard
</div>
<div>
Law School in my 20s: the 3-inch thick US
</div>
<div>
Internal Revenue Code. The document is
</div>
<div>
a NIGHTMARE. And people spend their entire
</div>
<div>
lives figuring out to cheat the public by using
</div>
<div>
that book. Bezos hired the lawyers who would
</div>
<div>
do exactly that. As Professional Parasites,
</div>
<div>
eating away at the body politic and genuine
</div>
<div>
free enterprise. Eating away at the USA like
</div>
<div>
a disease.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Characterize "Amazon" as a disease worse
</div>
<div>
than COViD, and everyone will flee in hororr.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
We can then take on the Disney princess
</div>
<div>
fantasies, which created the market for selfish
</div>
<div>
delivery fantasies. The public name for such
</div>
<div>
an attack: TVGOV.
