Max Keiser interviews Captain Paul Watson of the Sea Shepherd Society about the economics of extinction.
His example illustrates the end game and the high profitability of the pursuit of extinction. Only 14% of the Blue Fin Tuna are left, and one of the breeding areas is the Gulf of Mexico.
“There’s money to be made by making a species extinct.”
Mitsubishi has built large refrigerated warehouses in Japan – they already have a stockpile of a 4 years supply. They’d like to get 10-15 year supply; the more they pack, the more diminished they become. As they diminish the species, the value of their commodity goes up.
If they wipe out the Blue Fin Tuna, they have a million dollar fish and can set the price for the next 10-15 years.
