With all the stuff coming out in the news recently about Turkey finding a bunch of rare earth metals deposits (out of freaking nowhere), and Uganda finding the largest gold deposit in more than a 100 years, I can't help but wonder.
Is it possible there are other resources deposits in say, the USA, Germany, the UK, etc. that are being hidden from us? Supposedly the USA has all but run out of Iron ore since all of the "good quality" ore has long since been mined out of the great lakes region. But what if there's a massive iron ore deposit in say, Arizona? But the cabal has kept it hidden from us so as to make us more dependent on foreign ore and scrap metal.
This isn't that unreasonable. It wasn't until the 50s that the official largest iron ore deposit in the world was found in West Australia. And it was kept under the radar for decades until mining officially began when the guy who found it managed to get his hands on all the land around it for dirt cheap.
And this applies to more than just Iron. Think about it. For all we know, there could be some massive deposit of gold, silver, and platinum, a few hundred feet below the surface in say, Wyoming. But it's being kept under wraps so that the cabal can keep a strangle hold on things.
I'm not saying it's a definitive thing, but it seems plausible to me.
Wouldn't be that hard. Access to military technology. Do mineral scouting from space. Use local governments and Corperations to regulate people away from finding said resources. Buy up the land right before it will matter.
