FINAL WARNING: The Illuminati Influence on International Affairs
with the moderate Arab producing countries.” On October 17th, Omar
Saqqaf, the Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia, gave President Nixon a
letter from King Faisal, which said that if the U.S. did not discontinue
their shipment of military supplies to Israel within two days, there
would be an embargo. Nixon stated that he was committed to
supporting Israel. The U.S. Sixth Fleet of 49 ships, including 2 aircraft
carriers, was sent to the Mediterranean, where they maintained a state
of combat readiness.OPEC met and decided to raise the price of oil to $5.12 a barrel, which
was 70% higher than they had agreed to before the Arab-Israeli War.
The next day, the Arab countries met, and decided to cut oil
production by 5%, however, the Saudis later decided to cut back
production by more than 20%, and by October 20th, had embargoed all
oil shipments to the U.S., and countries that were partial to Israel.As the Israeli counterattack continued, Egypt and Syria were in serious

ambassador to Saudi Arabia sent a message to Aramco that the oil

requested from the Aramco directors, information concerning the
amount of oil used by the U.S. military, which they supplied. The
Saudis then instructed them to stop all supplies to the military. In
December, OPEC announced a price of $11.65 a barrel, and the result
was economic chaos in the United States and Western Europe.Though Aramco claimed that they had no choice in what they did, and
that they weren’t acting as agents of a foreign government against the
United States, the cry went out that the oil industry was putting
“profits before patriotism.” Before the embargo, America was
importing 1.2 million barrels oil a day; and by February, only 18,000
barrels, which was a drop of 98%. The rush was on to reallocate other
sources of oil (Venezuela and Iran had not joined the boycott), and to
distribute it throughout the world. The global emphasis of the
American oil companies were revealed, when they refused to favor the
U.S. at the expense of the other countries, causing us to lose a higher
percentage of the available oil supply.In Egypt, Sadat’s terms for a ceasefire, was that Israel had to withdraw
