[Let there be light!] LEHT is the initials for Livingstone Exploration and Holding Team. Teamwork and incorporating invested interests were used for the foundation of a new wealth management and resource development system developed by Dexter Livingstone of Vancouver, Canada. Spinning off of a vortex of possibilities in the LEHT ever expanding universe of business ideas is a tantalizing little bunny trail that deftly out manoeuvres all the pit falls, man traps and spiked pits that novices venturing into the African Gold Trade are want to fall into. Sadly, there exists a file of 350 Vancouverites that made the tragic mistake of thinking that they themselves were capable of side stepping all the bureaucratic arrows and tribal deifications of the age old 'Art of Betrayal' that usually results in the profit seeker going home either in a box, mortally wounded, de-limbed or just plain broke and embarrassed. It was because of this file of accumulated tragedy that Dexter Livingstone vowed to break the curse of good people going after bad intentioned gold traders in the most dangerous place on the Dark Continent, Wiley West Africa. To be sure, the lone honest businessman approach has not worked as hoped, so a more sophisticated, sly, cunning, in depth, studied, prepared and over the top expensive approach was conjured up to crack the forbidden vault of knowledge and experience for acquiring African Gold at a discount and up-selling at ludicrous profit margins. Why Africa? What has been distilled out of intelligence gathering is disturbing accounts of the dangers that befell entrepreneurs trying to move gold out of South America by plane. Seems that the US Government prudently cut out some spy funding ever since G. Bush Senior triggered an antisocialist (Domino Effect) genocide in Penuches Chile. Hundreds of thousands of men, women and children socialists were slaughtered in the sports stadium so we all could live free from the fear of tyranny...! G. Bush Senior, then the Director of the CIA apparently faced with the denuding of funding for the foreign operational branch called on his chiefs to brainstorm the wild idea of taking half the CIA into the black and funding themselves and their nefarious highly questionable operations by utilizing the black market formally run by Cartels. Delighted by the epiphany of self reliance with no oversight the covert operational end of Christians in Action have ever since been paying their own way through jacking-and-smacking the illegal cocaine trade and shooting down indiscriminately anyone they label as gun runners and drug smugglers. This unquestionable authority also became a cover for jacking the entire South American gold trade. Peaceful Vancouverites making honest gold deals in South America found themselves being extorted by operatives to the tune of 30% of the cargo for being let through the Public Safety Net or risk being shot down! Wisely, Dexter Livingstone after much consideration decided to leave the South American theatre to the clowns with the frowns. Therefore, not surprisingly just like the pink panther directed: Stage left!...Africa here we come! Now we only have to worry about the Chi, Fritzs, Igor, the same clowns, pirates...and maligned local authority under juntas and generals who Love their country! The audacious plan needed a name, a catchy name that no one who is not in the know could ever guess the true meaning. Gold is too ...well gold sounding! So using the Precious Metals initials (PM) seemed to take it in the direction of a Prime Minister which at least sounds important. AIRLIFT is a term meaning expedited shipment by air so that worked. And shooting off to Africa in a private jet is sort of like a Safari! Now you know the thought processes for naming this PM AIRLIFT SAFARI!
PM AIRLIFT SAFARI
Introducing a novel aircraft, the Dassault Falcon 50 tri-jet. Extreme long range and over sea redundancy of three engines have made this (Water) Falcon the darling of marine patrol and maritime surveillance across the watery globe. Twin engine mistakes almost universally never have enough power/thrust to keep the bird in the air should one swallow a goose or an albatross. Insurance liability coverage therefore requires two engine (Absolutely All) business jets to fly within maximum ratings of two hours from coast lines, and to never never take the leap out over open oceans. Of course, everyone does, but the fact remains that the insurance on cargo and persons is null and void should the plane be unable to maintain altitude on one engine and the pilot ditch-n-drowns. So, PM AIRLIFT SAFARI has prudently decided to can the kiddie jets and acquire a comfortable and reliable ocean cruising high altitude business tri-jet to courier gold purchases from the dark and deadly continent of Africa. Why not just fly commercial you ask? Answer: Big eyed baggage handlers with sticky fingers, lost luggage paperwork and klepto-customs officials just trying to feed their families like thieves and sheikhs! Besides, we like fast jets!
We at PM AIRLIFT SAFARI considered again the convenient Africa/South America/United States/Canada route but there is an old and venerated Latin American saying called the Mexican Gauntlet. Aspirants need only run between two lines of energetic gangs wielding whips, chains, clubs, interceptor aircraft 50 calibre machine guns and the ever so handy air-to-air and hand held surface-toair No you donts employed by our ever vigilant in-the-black Christians In Action. Therefore, in order to not bend or dent our precious aircraft unnecessarily and to just let sleeping bird dogs lie, we decided on the open ocean route direct to Newfoundland. Also at Gander the Canadian Forces Base's long range over the horizon radars and fighter interceptors not to mention rescue helicopters and coastal frigates could conveniently shield us from any untoward unpleasantness for at least half the journey. Seeing as our final destination for the cargo is the Royal Canadian Mint it is reasonable to think that we can pull a few favors out of the hat of the Great White North's tuxedo club. Sir; PMs coming in hot and heavy so lets fire up the grill and stoke the pot bellied stove in the officers club! Also, consider how shivering off duty air force brass who are stuck in freezing Gander for the weekend would love to hop on a private tri-jet and skip town to sunny dune city? See, I think of everything! Incredibly, there is a straight flight path over International waters from Cape Verde off the coast of West Africa to Gander CFB International Airport. If you study the map below, you will notice a little white dot 500 miles off Dakar which is on the West Coast of Africa and then look 2,400 nautical miles to the left to another little white dot on the extreme right edge of Canada which is Gander CFB NFLD. Nothing but blue skies, big blue ocean and screaming like a banshee at fifty thousand feet heading for home sweet home to a warm CFB cognac reception in the toasty officers club. The base commander's wife even offered to bake fresh cookies for the long jump!
CAPE VERDE
Not all African countries are created equal, in fact Cape Verde is not even technically an African Country as it is an adrift former colony of Portugal forgotten by its benefactors and the World. A small crescent of islands bone dry and arid, Cape Verde crept into the modern age eking out an existence as the descendents of abandoned household slaves, ship wrecked cast-a-ways and cut off hardy colonizers. That is until the most apocalyptic financial game changer since the Second World War stepped gleefully onto the World stage...enter the deflowering and raping of darling Cyprus! Now you have to understand that Europeans are a cagey lot and not wanting to peek themselves out traipsing into tax haven Malta with suitcases stuffed with hard earned paper, they would rather quietly slip into the little back water country of Cyprus and deposit a few hundred million what ever into friendly bank accounts. Unbeknownst to them, the brave and frugal and unspeakably naive upper crust of Cyprian civility decided to beg for a hand out from the venerable and helpful EU. Talk about Little Red Riding Hood asking the Big Bad Wolf to walk her home through the forest and ending up getting an unexpected haircut between the neck and the color.
What does all this mean; Cyprus/Cape Verde? Well, cagey Europeans, that is everyone not already ruined by the make-it-up-as-you-go cash grabbers, have found a new chaste darling adrift on a raft of white sandy beaches serviced by friendly black and brawny natives trotting around with trays of heavenly refreshments and best of all located far far from the EU network of barbers and impromptu hair stylists that made their continental life hell. There is in fact now an apartment and building boom going on in this little forgotten planet far away from the center of the civilized universe. European second homers or retirees who once flocked to the south of Spain now flock to the Cape and the nestegg-stuffers who are justly terrified of banks are now flocking by the gaggle to Cape Verde and finding safety and much needed tranquility in the midst of the growing economic uncertainty.
This is an age where Billionaires are becoming Millionaires and Millionaires who are luckily just to stay millionaires if they can just hold it all together. Rarely do you see the opportunity for Millionaires to rise to Billionaires alone, especially today. There is safety in numbers and Livingstone Consortiums and Syndicates will lead the way to a prosperous and profitable tomorrow. Because There just had to be a better way Dexter Livingstone has pulled out all the stops to make this thing work. He is not only the architect of PM AIRLIFT SAFARI but his ever vigilant mind and military and police training and international business experience and connections have shaped this mover of men and money like this world has never seen before. Partakers of PM will get a front row seat to enormous opportunities that cross Dexter Livingstones desk every day and they will be able to pick and choose what part they will play and profit in a number of choice Livingstone Consortiums & Syndications.
