All right, joining us now is Susan Bradford, her book, The Saudi Swindle, how the

deception surrounding the Saudi oil, or surrounding Saudi oil, gave rise to the green

new steel, the looting of nations, and a global lockdown.

Thank you for joining us, Susan. It's going to be

interesting to talk about this. It's a really important subject. It is. Thank you so much for having me.

Thank you. Yeah, as you said, you know, what went wrong with the petro dollar that is now, you know,

coming apart of the seams everywhere? What went wrong with it or was it always wrong?

Well, in my opinion, it was always wrong because it was geared at providing a basis for which the federal, the fiat dollar could spend, you know, we could spend endlessly developing the world. And the, the, the USAID was

created by an executive order through President John F. Kennedy. And from that point on,

where we were really on the hook to develop over 100 nations around the world. And the only

way that was possible was with the petro dollar. And so what the petrol dollar did is this,

this was a means in which we had a cheap

oil that was available and an infinite amount because of how how vast the oil wells were.

And then they connected the set the petro dollar to the World Bank. So it became the World Bank

Development Partner around the same time they also installed the petro dollar to the World Bank. So it became the World Bank development partner.

Around the same time, they also established a Saudi sovereign fund, and that was a way for them to accumulate assets.

So this was really about the financial interest around the city of London to use the wealth of the American people to develop the world

while leaving us holding the debt. And so in terms of what went wrong, in the 1970s, the Saudis decided

to nationalize their oil field. So on the way, their way out, the Rockefellers who had been

granted the concession, overproduced the oil fields.

They wanted to get as much oil as it possibly could before they were shut out.

And so what happened is that through that overproduction, they damaged the fields.
