In Russia I see investors in commodities such as oil and Gas are not always using the usual route for such transactions. It seems Russia is good about that sort of thing. I also discovered this little issue when I was in Israel and realized that Israel insiders were doing the same as Russia is. In fact I saw huge investments by Israel in the Arab world. This is with money that is supporting them from America. Interesting that when it comes to making money, loyalty has no place in such things…
There is several new ways that are slowly developing, to buck the system for people who are tired of the Western whole world control crap…
One way being worked on is by Russia and getting away from using just dollars to buy oil. Part of the desire for a world financial center in St Petersburg is that said need, to get away from the dollars control of oil. It is mainly an unsaid project, that I expect will bear fruit before you realize it is happening…
Another way to cut the dollar down to size on this side of the world is called the Iranian oil bourse which is a stock market for petroleum, petrochemicals and gas. There is a big difference between this Iranian oil bourse and the normal way. The exchange is run on currencies “excluding the U.S. dollar.” The location of the bourse is the island of Kish. As the Oil Bourse in Kish is developed through successive stages, the plan is to establish a Petrobourse as a fourth oil market, denominated by the Iranian rial, the euro and other major currencies. But not the dollar…
I sense that there is a growing world of investors, be from Russia or anywhere else, that do not talk about investing through Kish Island Free Trade Zone. It reminds me of the Hong Kong to China…
It seems that Russia does not have any Free Trade Zones. (Correct me if I am wrong!) It would behoove Russia to have such a zone. Due to huge restrictions still imposed upon Russia. They resemble sanctions to me and extend back to the old days. But heaven forbid would we change from the past. But I do know that Putin has a vision for one… (Link) I always wonder what would happen one day when the world has had enough and sanctions are applied to countries like Britain and America. Can anyone say – War?
Lets watch a interesting video on Kish’s Financial world…
That was interesting. Of course the video is from Western standards and Western censorship of the real Kish. But they came up with a few good ones and hit it on the nail head several times. It mainly is a video to tell on Western countries for being bad and doing trade with Iran. You do want to see what is really there right?
They also do not allow Americans there (?) but Russians can go. I hear that Germans, British and others from the Western world are welcomed under conditions and I am hoping that Americans can go under conditions also. So I have been checking on what I have to do, to be able to have a visit there. Sveta and I would love to take a vacation to this “Flower of the East”…
Oh and by the way! Much more than Russia investing in Kish, is the Western world. They go against the sanctions and have company stores all over Kish Island. It is like a huge Outlet Mall in America…
I found it interesting…
Windows to Russia!
