OPEC,Iran, and America by Chelle Stockman

 

OPEC, Iran, and America   by Chelle Stockman

Back in 2003 I had written quite a lot about Bill Clinton's proposal and Congress' support on the Iraqi Freedom Act of 1998.  I continuously linked it to G.W. Bush's campaign speech on Jim Leherer's show (Feb. 16, 2000) where Bush announced he was going after Saddam Hussein no matter what it took, with the purposes of removal--even if it meant bombing Iraq.  Then the towers came down (conveniently), the bad intel, the ignored correct intel, and the hijacking of the Republican Party by the Neo-Cons who effectively inflamed the extremists of that party and nullified the effectiveness of the party's moderates.

Last Thursday, I saw a bone chilling repeat of 1998's handoff for the next presidency. Congress signed the Iran Freedom Support Act (2006).  So to determine who our next president shall be, we should listen to the candidate who intends to sanction and remove Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.  Keep in mind that it may take another huge devastating event like the World Trade Centers to rally Americans in order to take us to war with Iran and remove their president.  From there, the Neo-Cons will incite the passions of the extremists in the Democrat Party and nullify the effectiveness of the moderates, then we can be in war in Iran, just like we are in Iraq.

Is it about oil?  It's about OPEC.  The greedy corporate thugs want to control all rights to every paying energy, including oil; so yes, in part, it is about oil.  However, it is more about breaking up OPEC and privatizing all the valuable energy sources. 

Currently we are blocking the advances of Syria as our military bases have Western Iraq all shored up.  Next we shall do the same to the Eastern access which is at Iran's borders to Iraq.  But more importantly, we will have easier, uncontested or at least controlled access to the Northern tip of Iraq where the Kurds once controlled (until we fought them back)--the world's most prized source of natural gas, the Caspian Sea.  I call the Caspian Sea the "bottomless" pit mentioned in Revelations and foresee Dick Cheney as the key holder.

Think about some of this.  If you see any similarities at all to where we currently are, speak out.

Here is a Chinese Proverb I find myself resonating to:

If we don't change direction, we shall end up where we are heading.      (selah)

That's all for now.
