Eddington Deep Fried Coffee Beans

[image error]

“How do we stop him?” It’s the only question I had, and the only one that mattered. Michael looked at me. “The same way you stop a fox, introduce him to a wolf.”

“Who would this guy be afraid of?” I asked, thinking the answer was no one. Michael grinned. “What everyone is a little afraid of, themselves. Come on, that’s the second reason we’re here.”

It turns out everyone is young once, even would be conquerors, and their younger versions are not normally as careful. Our mission was to dig up dirt, not on the “honorable” professor, but a dishonorable young man by the same name.

What had our villain been up to in his twenties that would undo him today? I. The coffee industry there’s an interest in deep fried coffee beans, the younger ones. It creates a totally different flavor, plus the oil adds extra calories.

We were hoping to add a few tons of bad press to the professor, by showing how he got started in the black market. Every criminal has a trail, we just had to uncover it. It was going to be a bumpy ride!

Eddington Coffee Break

[image error]The man on the ground was saying things I couldn’t believe, names of men in twenty countries that the professor had bribed into his organization. He was setting up an economic machine to fund the takeover of countries, that much was clear. What he said next scared me.

The Professor wasn’t just out for valuable historic treasures. There have been plunderers since Old Testament times. He wanted to take things that had never been stolen before. Items that were so dear to a country’s culture that it would build his reputation and incite fear.  

Today, museums are at least somewhat open to trading exhibits, and sharing with the world, a country’s antiquities. He wanted to isolate the different markets. It would also make it easier, not harder, for him to take what he wanted when he wanted it.

Next, he could start a propaganda campaign against the way the museums were ran. Being an expert on antiquities, he would make recommendations, all the time, increasing his influence. Eventually, in the big markets, he would be able to place men that were under his control, in control.

The museums where he basically appointed curators, would quickly stop having any thefts. Oh he would keep taking, but first they’d replace them with almost perfect copies. Ones his group had been making painstakingly accurate over the last ten years.

His buyers for the stolen antiquities, would feel even safer. They would know that to the world, nothing had ever been stolen. His curators would prevent experts studying too closely his fakes.  

While all of this was going on, he’d approach world domination through a course I would have never thought of. He was taking steps to slowly control the primary food supplies of several countries through a seemingly unrelated groups of amalgamations.

Corporations being purchased, farms being snatched up with the funds, and a horde of factories being bought. On top of that, he was buying every type of transportation company you could imagine.

What he could not purchase outright, he bought stock in. This wasn’t just related to food, it was everything from airlines to pay as you go travel. His intention was to squeeze every dime he could, and control every sector through the money and power it gave him. 

Only then, would he start his flamboyant take over the world part if it. An because, by then, he would already be mostly in control, it would seem swift. People would be shocked at how quickly he stepped in, and that would breed more fear. He’d control the world while no one was looking. Taking power while those without a clue of his scheme, might has well have been on a coffee break.

Eddington Caffeine Is My Excitement

[image error]

I’m not a government agent. I’m not a detective. I’m a guy who markets coffee. Caffeine is my excitement, not being hunted down by a crazed college professor’s hired guns!

An yet that’s where we found ourselves. Our taxi driver was dead, the car crashed. We were bleeding, Michael was shooting at the guy who was shooting at us. I was trying to get out through a mangled door without getting hit.

In other words, this trip was not my idea of a fun adventure. Unlike movies you see, there wasn’t a convenient building for us to duck into. There also wasn’t any unexpected helper guy showing up to make our get away.  

I was thinking at this point that I might not see my family again. Michael wasn’t ready to give up. What he did next, will always make me look at him like the hero he is. 

He drew their fire, dodging in and out behind the taxi. When they got closer to finish the job, he somersaulted over the taxi, onto the back of their car, and shattered the front glass with bullets.  

He didn’t fire at the driver, we needed answers. Instead he fired down the middle of the window, sending glass everywhere. He wrestled his way inside and took control of the car. Then stopped, tossed the guy out, and started asking questions.  

I told you it got crazy, but I wasn’t talking about all of that. It was the answers he gave. They weren’t encouraging, especially when he told us what the Professor’s next move was.
