Memorial & Writing
They call the Prince of Saudi Arabia – MDS. We find MOBIS (pronounced
Mobeez) a better fit and just as valid a nickname from those same letters of his
namesake.
Prince MOBI’S vision for the Mirror Line has all the feel of Divine
Inspiration. It’s the final piece to this Impossible Peace. A light to the best of
reason over all the differences of today’s warring nations and dying innocence.
They can now find a bridge to a global partnership. It starts with the 3 Worlds of
the Mediterranean: Africa, Europe & the Middle East (in alphabetical order). It
then carries on over to unite the Arabs as well.
This is especially true for Saudi’s land and cash giveaways to Jordan’s
Palestinian refugees. It finds a fair offset. All that abundance of Saudi’s untapped
lands profitably traded-up for prime real estate on the Sinai Peninsula.
What’s the net worth of such privileged access to the heart of the
Mediterranean?
The goods and services of the Mediterranean funneled right back to the
wide-open plains of Saudi Arabia. A gulf of political differences bridged with the
literal bridge of the seas from two different gulfs. A thoroughfare of civilizations in
their collective past taken in to all the promise of an exciting future - once
partnered for our collective best.
And now for the bonus: a great new collection of additional partners.
Prince MOBIS is going to need the help – all the help he can get - if ever this is to
be completed - timely.
MOBI says the cost is $300 billion and to be completed by 2030. Ha Ha Ha,
um, sorry. Yeah, NOPE.
Others give it a price tag of $1 trillion and 50 years. Critics are likely closer
to the ‘real’ estimates. I gather it’s likely closer to $2 trillion. That’s just $50 to
$100 a square foot – depending how you calculate the numbers.
This new Bridge to Peace is 35% longer than those of the Neom plans. That
means more cost over those past estimates – just 1 of many examples of growing
costs. However, its function and value have also expanded - dramatically. That
means the Bridge of Peace will offer much better returns and attract broader
participation.
This is where America comes in. Let’s put all that wild spending to work.
That $2 trillion price tag to be covered by America.
America’s offer: Saudi oil for $100 a barrel. Top dollar.
This saves the Prince from market gyrations and pricing volatility – while
still getting top dollar.
Note the billions in unfinished projects from around the world – especially
in the Middle East. They were shelved because of sudden economic downturns.
Most expect another one – soon. Saudi Arabia will not be immune. America is the
insurance guarantee for the Prince’s capital flow required to complete his Bridge
to Peace - timely.
And yes, you are talking to an economist. I have accounted for ‘how and
where’ the US will get this $. There are several sources, to be covered later, but
here’s the most obvious:
The US gets an equity stake in the Bridge itself. A $50 a credit per barrel.
This means the US is getting a barrel of gas for just $50. The other $50 buys an
equity stake in this Bridge to Peace.
That $50 is really just loan given with each barrel of oil bought from the
Saudis. The US will now get $1 trillion worth of oil and $1 trillion in equity stake
for its $2 trillion deal with Saudi Arabia.
America’s $1 trillion equity stake can expect to double in value over the
decade. It means that the US got its oil for free.
The rough estimate is that Bridge only cost $50 to $100 per square foot –
once completed. Need someone else to do these estimates, but whatever the
final figure, it should offer room for a fair profit.
And so to our broader point, this $2 trillion should prove deflationary to the
US dollar – a low $50 cost per barrel and a $50 loan that should double.
This would also come with the stipulations:
Saudi Obligations:
Saudis will produce as much as oil requested by the US. The US will be able
to provide affordable to the rest of the world – once more.
US Obligations:
The US must buy as much oil as the Prince request to keep up with the cost
demands of the projects construction.
America and the nations of democracy get affordable and stable energy
supplies. Saudi gets the stable income for guaranteed financial backing til the
completion.
Such are the ways of this Great Bridge of Peace.
