911 is responsible for the increase in coconut prices.
911 brought about changes. First comes war. Well planned out
beforehand, destined to become perpetual war.
Second; an increase in crude oil / fuel prices.
Next comes an increase in food prices which are climbing as a result
of increases in fuel prices.
Certain commodities such as gold also increase because of investor/
speculator pressure. They want something safe.
Now I'm not going to blame the US government for these increases.
This havoc is caused by them what works in the shadows.
So blame them for your coconut problem.
And if you think all of these changes weren't well planned in advance,
then I have a cornfield to sell you on the planet Tralfamadore.
