hey preacher,

buying oil from countries is not equivalent to forcefully securing oil with violence

...as anybody with half a brain should know.

Well, no one has ever accused me of being a preacher before.

Every market is secured by violence or with the threat of violence. It's so basic that you don't even think about it and you are certainly not aware of it. But, it's there.

The oil market is no exception. Oil is traded in $ because Nixon cut a deal with the Saudi's. Any trading that goes on, any at all, is secured by violence. Period.

It is a case of extreme naivete to not be aware of that.
