No, the prince has not gone full retard.

You know this little thing called the petro-dollar?
Well his life and livelihood rests on that.
His life works hand and hand with the central bank.

No central bank, no petro-dollar, and his luxurious life is toast.

It is just that our reality is different then his reality.
We are getting screwed by the FED, he is getting the benefit of that screwing.
