9. The energy sector

This is the reason Rex was appointed SoS - his contacts and experience in the energy sector. Then Rex could get Cheetolini and himself some of the energy sector cash flow, as in, "Psst! Want us to continue to be your friend ... er, "ally" - and let you buy nice big military toys from us? Want to beat up the Shia? Then you gotta cut The Big Guy and me in on the oil action."

The reason most people that are rural types support Cheetolini is because they don't know how to recognize mobsters. If they happen to think the word mobster, they think of some old-time movie and Elliot Ness. For those of us that grew up in big cities, we've been seeing and hearing about mobsters our whole lives.
