"THE PIPELINE PLOTS, PART ONE" by Sherman H. Skolnick 1/9/02

Sometimes when you know a lot of the facts and details, it is difficult
to escape the idea that you are looking at a sinister scheme. Of course,
skeptics and deniers will quickly label you a "conspiracy theorist",
even if you are not, thus dismissing what you say.
What high level powers do, on a regular basis, cannot simply be a device
concocted for a one-time trick. The ultra-rich obviously "breathe
together". So, it fits the historical definition of to "conspire". What
they do, day by day, year by year, and century by century, is simply
their method of operation. Their way of enriching themselves and
controlling those of the middle income. Once in a while, their natural
collusion is interrupted, sometimes only temporarily, by an upheaval led
by the better educated group, the middle class, a Revolution.
Starting in the 1990s, even before that, two groups made their plans as
to the Caspian Sea energy area, Afghanistan, and the southern Balkans.
Oil engineers obviously knew that in a few short decades, the oil
reserves of Saudi Arabia will be played out. A growing market for oil
and natural gas is Pakistan, Red China, and points east, like Japan.
The Caspian area is there to be exploited. Oil, natural gas. One
pipeline was planned through the southern Balkans, the split-apart area
formerly called simply Yugoslavia. Standing in the way was a strongman,
Slobadan Milosevic, who took over more or less with the demise of
long-time dictator Marshal Tito who with an iron fist kept the ethnic
and religious groups in check. Milosevic was once considered charming
and popular. Toppling him started with the Henry Kissinger design of
wrecking the Yugoslav banks. Kissinger & Associates have been a nest of
clever snakes fronting for Big Oil and dictators and butchers worldwide.
So, building on the natural friction between ethnic and religious groups
in Yugoslavia, became the excuse for the U.S./British attack on the
Belgrade government. The supposed justification, trumpeted in the
oil-soaked, spy-riddled monopoly press, was the primarily fraudulent
stories of "massacres". In the Spring of 1999, that became the reason
for bombing and invading Serbia and their province of Kosovo.
If not so bloody and tragic, the whole event would be laughable. Mighty
military and economic forces of the West pulverized a once united nation
which had no air force or navy worth noting, and an army no match for
the invaders. Furthermore, Serbia was traditionally pro-U.S. if not also
pro-British. In thousands of years, Serbia never attacked or invaded any
other country.
In violation of the Geneva Convention, to which the U.S. and Britain are
signatories, U.S./British forces knowingly bombed and missile-attacked
hospitals, schools, and churches. They bombed structures on the Danube,
for months thereafter blocking river commerce for a whole section of
Europe. The Serbian Radio/Television Building in Belgrade was directly
targeted and many of those inside slaughtered.
Who would rightfully dare prosecute the U.S./British leaders as war
criminals? The International tribunals, made up of yesmen and cowards,
are a dead letter.
Think about it. If Serbia had an air force and a navy like the U.S.,
surely they had the right, yes, the duty, to in return, bomb and missile
attack the United States. Fair is fair. Hey, the press fakers said it
was a WAR.
The attack on Serbia benefitted, some say intentionally, the
Kosovo/Albanian dope traffickers. Whether you like or dislike what he
says or does on other matters, notice something: U.S. Senator Joseph I.
Lieberman (D., Conn.), became the unregistered lobbyist for the
dope-traffickers, the KLA, the Kosovo Liberation Army. Lieberman, who
also ran for Vice President in the year 2000, made speeches fronting for
the KLA. [I have rejected the strong warning of Lieberman's cohorts, who
demanded I shut up about this, yet they know I am an independent, a
loyalist for neither political party.]
The blitz against Serbia began right after President Bill Clinton,
impeached by House of Representatives resolutions, was turned loose from
an Impeachment trial by the U.S. Senate. Some contend key Senators caved
in after having been blackmailed. Head of the Senate Judiciary
Committee, Senator Orrin G.Hatch (R., Utah), reportedly was about to be
caught up in the Olympics bribery scandal. The monopoly press covered up
this and financial and other scandals implicating several U.S. Senators
which would have dirtied up Senators at the time of the Impeachment
Trial. Chief Justice William Rehnquist, conducting the Senate hearing in
an imperial gold-stripped robe, was himself subject to being
blackmailed, such as with his hushed up past as an anti-black,
anti-latino bigot, such as how he in the Justice Department covered up
the army spy scandals of 1970.
[Some background to the Senate Impeachment hearings is in David
Schippers book "Sell-Out", Regnery Publishers, 1999.]
[As a warning to the House and Senate not to go beyond the sexual
charges, Clinton in November, 1998, just as the House Resolutions were
in process, ordered the CIA Inspector General to release the second
report on CIA, documenting that the spy agency WAS, IN FACT, implicated
in domestic and foreign dope trafficking. Naturally, the press whores
were silent. Whatever you think of Sludge Willy, he is a masterful
blackmailer. Congressman Henry Hyde (D., Ill.) then head of the House
Judiciary Committee, got the message. Hyde, as we have pointed out in
exclusive prior stories, is also head of CIA's "black budget", funds for
political assassinations and other dirty, bloody tricks, here and
overseas. Hyde, thus wearing two hats, violates the U.S. Constitution's
mandate of Separation of Powers, by sitting in the legislative and
executive department at the same time.]
Milosevic was grabbed and put in custody of a purported "International
Tribunal". In danger of his life, he has made little-noticed statements
that would incriminate the British in what went on in Serbia. So, with
the southern Balkans pipeline plan thus safely in U.S./British control,
the next item was the other pipeline plan, as a short-cut through
Afghanistan.
For some years two different groups each as rivals, had their own
pipeline plan through Afghanistan, such as for natural gas from the
former Soviet province of Turkmenistan. One pipeline consortium was
headed by Union Oil of California, UNOCAL, tightly linked financially to
the Bush Family.
"A senior delegation from the Taleban movment in Afghanistan is in the
United States for talks with an international energy company that wants
to construct a gas pipeline from Turkmenistan across Afghanistan to
Pakistan. A spokeman for the company, Unocal, said the Taleban were
expected to spend several days at the company's headquarters in
Sugarland, Texas. Unocal says it has agreements both with Turkmenistan
to sell its gas and with Pakistan to buy it." As published by BBC NEWS,
under a headline "World: West Asia, Taleban in Texas for talks on gas
pipeline", December 4, 1997.
And the BBC story continued: "But, despite the civil war in Afghanistan,
Unocal has been in competition with an Argentinian firm, Bridas, to
actually construct the pipeline. Last month, the Argentinian firm,
Bridas, announced that it was close to signing a two-billion dollar deal
to build the pipeline, which would carry gas 1,300 kilometres from
Turkmenistan to Pakistan, across Afghanistan. In May, Taleban-controlled
radio Kabul said a visiting delegation from an Argentinian company had
announced that pipeline construction would start 'soon'. The radio has
reported several visits to Kabul by Unocal and Bridas company officials
over the past few months."
As the BBC story added about Unocal, "It has commissioned the University
of Nebraska to teach Afghan men the technical skills needed for pipeline
construction. Nearly 140 people were enrolled last month in Kandahar and
Unocal plans to hold training courses for women in administrative
skills. Although the Taleban authorities only allow women to work in the
health sector, organisers of the training say they haven't so far raised
any objections."
Top Taliban officials, on behalf of Osama bin Laden, continued to
negotiate with the George W. Bush White House right up to within a few
weeks of September 11, 2001. Basically, Osama and his cohorts were
demanding a bigger slice of the pipeline deal crossing Afghanistan than
offered by the Bush White House jointly with Unocal. Under these
circumstances, it is foolish for Bush and his underlings to claim that
did not know where Osama bin Laden was. Hey, they were negotiating with
him! So the alternative stories in the U.S. and in the foreign press of
PRIOR KNOWLEDGE of the attack September 11, 2001, have to be considered.
Pertinent details of the Bush/Osama bin Laden pipeline negotiations are
in a book that is a sensation in Europe. Thoroughly-researched and
heavily-documented by two known French authors, the book, so far printed
in French, is "Bin Laden: The Forbidden Truth" by Jean-Charles Brisard
and Guillaume Dasquie. A few points made in the book:
1. The authors interviewed John O'Neill, originally from Chicago, Deputy
Director of FBI. O'Neill was ordered by Bush to back off
terrorist-related investigations while the oil pipeline negotiations
with Osama bin Laden were underway. O'Neill was considered the leading
counter-terrorist expert in the U.S. government. Disgruntled by the Bush
order, O'Neill resigned in July, 2001, and soon thereafter became the
head of security---get this---of the World Trade Center in New York. His
first day of work, September 11, 2001. [Other sources contend he was
lured into the FBI's semi-secret WTC facilities where they kept secret
paper records of pending terrorist investigations. Some contend there
was actually an explosion on one of these lower floors and O'Neill was
killed BEFORE that Tower collapsed.]
At all times George W. Bush knew where Osama was, with whom he was
negotiating, and could have at any time had him arrested.
2. Bush conveyed to Osama bin Laden that if he and the Taliban accepted
the Unocal pipeline offer [in which the Bush Family had a heavy stake],
that Osama would get "a carpet of gold" or if he refused, "a carpet of
bombs". [Notice that the U.S. bombers later carpet-bombed Afghanistan.]
Some details about the French book are in the Village Voice, week of
January 2-8, 2002 [www.villagevoice.com] entitled "The French
Connection". According to this story, the book points out that Bush told
other countries, during the summer of 2001, that he is planning to go to
war against Afghanistan in October, 2001.
Reportedly continuing, however, after the Bush/Unocal/Osama deal went
sour, were the negotiations of Osama and Taliban with the rival
consortium headed by the Argentine firm, Bridas. Some background
necessary to understand the Argentina connection.
The International Monetary Fund, IMF, is a mostly misleading title. It
is primarily an adjunct and creature of the U.S. Treasury and the White
House, jointly with the London money center banks. In the past, numerous
requests for bail-out funds were granted by IMF, that is, by the U.S.,
to Brazil, to Argentina, and to others.
Remember. At one time England had an armlock on the infrastructure and
finances of Argentina, such as in their capital, Buenos Aires. The
subway there, the waterworks, the public utilities, originally were
owned and exploited by British absentee owners. Then came 1982.
Argentina seized the Falkland Islands, which they called the Malvinas,
contending they belonged historically to Argentina. Between Argentina
and the Falklands were discovered great sources of offshore oil, claimed
by Argentina.
Expecting a war, the Vatican Bank had given billions of dollars to
Argentina, disguised as from Banco Ambrosiano, a major Italian bank. The
purpose was for Argentina to purchase, as they did, from France and
elsewhere, Exocet missiles and other exotic weapons with which the
Argentines later attacked the few major warships that the British still
had. A certain area in and around the Falklands was designated by both
sides as the "war zone". In violation of designated NEUTRAL territory,
the British, using U.S. satellite imagery, had one of their submarines
(maybe actually a U.S. submarine) torpedo and sink the major ship of the
Argentine fleet in the NEUTRAL ZONE, the cruiser "Belgrano". Over eight
hundred unsuspecting Argentine sailors were thus killed.
In violation of the Geneva Convention, to which Great Britain is a
signatory, the British tortured and slaughtered numerous Argentine
Prisoners-of-War on the re-taken Falklands.
The head of Banco Ambrosiano, blamed for not keeping the Vatican
Bank-Argentine funds adequately secret, was found murdered, hanging
under Blackfriars' Bridge, London. In the U.S., network television
reporter, Jessica Savitch, did a documentary on the murder and related
matters of the Italian banker. Later, she herself was murdered along
with her boyfriend, a top media executive. The press whores explained it
away as a supposed accident, as if their car somehow fell into a canal
and they drowned. One problem. The canal was dry. [Some details are in
the book "Golden Girl: The Story of Jessica Savitch" by Alanna K. Nash,
paperback edition.]
By December, 2001, here was the situation. As to Argentina, "Most major
utilities in the country are Spanish-owned...The largest oil company in
Argentina is Spanish-owned. In all, Spanish companies have some $39
Billion invested in Argentina, more than those of any other country."
New York Times, January 8, 2001, under a headline "Argentina Devalues,
and the Spanish Feel the Loss".
So, to damage the OTHER pipeline consortium headed by the Argentine firm
Bridas, George W. Bush was adamant. Argentina would get no help from the
IMF.
The rivalry between the Vatican/Spain/Catholic business interests and
Great Britain has been going on for centuries. So, when Argentina needed
to be bailed out, as in the past, by the IMF, well, Unocal/Bush decided
to withhold IMF help from Argentina which went into default of about 132
Billion Dollars of foreign debt.
[Visit our website series "Greenspan Aids and Bribes Bush", attached to
which are the secret Federal Reserve wire transfer records, under the
authorization code of Greenspan, showing the 25 secret worldwide
accounts of the Bush Family. Included is an account through which has
been laundered HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS in illicit dealings, a joint account
of the Bush Family and the Queen of England in her PRIVATE bank, Coutts
Bank London. Note also, the World Trade Center, where several thousand
died, had principally financial firms operated by Irish Catholics and
Jews, such as Cantor Fitzgerald, way up toward the top of one of the
towers; not a single person of some 700 in those offices survived.
Others have documented the Nazi business links of the Bush Family. Such
as "The Unauthorized Biography of George Bush" by Webster Tarpley. So,
did George W. Bush really give a damn for what happened to Irish
Catholics and Jews in those collapsed WTC buildings? Do we have to
re-invent history that the Queen of England, with a joint account with
the Bush Family, hates Irish Catholics?]
The Argentine firm, Bridas, heading up the consortium competing with
Unocal/Bush, was still ready to go ahead with their Afghanistan pipeline
plan AFTER the Unocal/Bush plan with Osama bin Laden and Taliban went
sour just prior to September 11, 2001.
How do you wreck a pipeline deal for Afghanistan of a competitor group?
Simple. You wreck Argentina/Vatican Bank/Spain/Catholic Business
Interests. Call it a natural happening. Call it sinister.
Whatever.
The new Afghan interim strongman selected by the U.S. and Great Britain
is Hamid Karzai. Should it surprise savvy sorts that HE has been a
consultant to Unocal. Referred to in the major French newspaper LeMonde,
just before Christmas, 2001, as translated as they said of Karzai,
"...in the USA, where he acted, for a while, as a consultant for the
American oil company Unocal, at the time it was considering building a
pipeline in Afghanistan...."
Hey, are the U.S. and Great Britain so stupid to think the
Vatican/Argentina/Spain/Catholic Business Interests are not capable of
revenge?
Also to be mentioned. Richard Cheney and his firm Halliburton are
reportedly implicated in the Afghanitan pipeline dirty business.
Remember, he was CEO of Halliburton up to August, 2000. Halliburton is
big in oil patch machinery and such. Also reportedly implicated George
W. Bush/Richard Cheney/Enron. More coming. Stay tuned.
