Re: [cia-drugs] The Iraq war, oil, and world government
Thank you v much for the article.
Mind you, I believe that the current oil production from Iraq is 5
million barrels per day.
To- date Iraq oil is exported without any metering, meaning there are
no official records.
The Americans deliberately never repaired these metering devices.
__
The scandal for the duration of the Paul Bremer occupation was that
the US could not get oil production up to a million gallons a day, nor
could the US restart electricity generation, or put clean linen on
hospital beds after shooting ambulance drivers. Meters would prove
that the US occupation was that helpless and cruel and far from
spreading democracy or development. Are you sure that five million
number is not from before the US invasion?

THE IRAQ WAR, OIL, AND WORLD GOVERNMENT
By Dennis L. Cuddy, Ph.D.
March 26, 2007
When President Bush originally announced the U.S. invasion of
Iraq, he called it Operation Iraqi Liberation----OIL. Think that was
coincidental? One of the first messages he sent to the Iraqi people at
the time was "Do not destroy oil wells."
The press and media have downplayed the role oil played regarding
the American military engagement in Iraq, but in the expanded addendum
to my COVER-UP book, written April 26 and May 1, 2003, I explained
that in addition to the prominent role of the Project for the New
American Century, there was another important group developing plans
for Iraq.
About this lesser known, but extremely important, group I wrote
that it was "an independent task force sponsored by the James A. Baker
III Institute for Public Policy of Rice University and the Council on
Foreign Relations (CFR). In addition to Enron chairman Kenneth Lay,
the task force included many oil executives such as John Manzoni
(British Petroleum), Steven Miller (Shell Oil), David O'Reilly
(ChevronTexaco), and Jefferson Seabright (Texaco). Thomas McLarty of
Kissinger McLarty Associates was also a member, and Stephen Oxman
(Rhodes scholar, who was an Assistant Secretary of State in the
Clinton Administration) was an observer. CFR president Leslie Gelb
thanked the task force for 3 "complicated video conferences and
teleconferences" (almost a year BEFORE the attacks of September 11,
2001), which resulted in the report, "Strategic Energy Policy
Challenges for the 21st Century."
Relevant to the war against the Taliban in Afghanistan, the report
indicated that "the exports from oil discoveries in the Caspian Basin
could be hastened if a secure, economical export route could be
identified swiftly....The option exists to downplay diplomatic
activities that dictate certain geopolitical goals for specific
transportation routes for Caspian oil in favor of immediate commercial
solutions that may be sought by individual oil companies for
short-term exports of 'early' oil, including exports through Iran."
Note particularly the phrase "downplay diplomatic activities that
dictate certain geopolitical goals." In other words, they do not want
to call attention to "certain geopolitical goals" that may be driving
their actions.
And relevant to the war with Iraq, the task force report stated:
"Iraq remains a destabilizing influence to U.S. allies in the Middle
East, as well as to regional and global order, and to the flow of oil
to international markets from the Middle East. Saddam Hussein has also
demonstrated a willingness to threaten to use the oil weapon and to
use his own export program to manipulate oil markets. This would
display his personal power, enhance his image as a 'Pan Arab' leader
supporting the Palestinians against Israel, and pressure others for a
lifting of economic sanctions against his regime. The United States
should conduct an immediate policy review toward Iraq, including
military, energy, economic, and political/diplomatic assessments. The
United States should then develop an integrated strategy with key
allies in Europe and Asia and with key countries in the Middle East to
re-state the goals with respect to Iraqi policy and to restore a
cohesive coalition of key allies. Like it or not, Iraqi reserves
represent a major asset that can quickly add capacity to world oil
markets and inject a more competitive tenor to oil trade...."
But what if you don't want to "add capacity" and have "a more
competitive" market?
What if you want to limit the availability of oil in order to
drive up prices? On March 18, Greg Palast published "It's Still the
Oil: Secret Condi Meeting on Oil Before Invasion," in which he wrote
that "in 2005, after a two-year battle with the State and Defense
Departments, they released to my team at BBC Newsnight the 'Options
for a Sustainable Iraqi Oil Industry.' Now, you might think our
government shouldn't be writing a plan for another nation's oil. Well,
our government didn't write it, despite the State Department seal on
the cover. In fact, we discovered that the 323-page plan was drafted
in Houston by oil industry executives and consultants. The suspicion
is that Bush went to war to get Iraq's oil. That's not true. The
document, and secret recordings of those in on the scheme, made it
clear that the Administration wanted to make certain America did not
get the oil. In other words, keep the lid on Iraq's oil
production----and thereby keep the price of oil high."
Palast went on to explain that the report said Iraq should be
required to remain an obedient member of the OPEC cartel and stick to
the oil-production limits---"quotas"---which keep up oil prices.
Palast continued: "And that's undoubtedly why Condoleezza Rice asked
Fadhil Chalabi to take charge of Iraq's Oil Ministry. As former chief
operating officer of OPEC, the oil cartel, Fadhil was a Big Oil
favorite....Fadhil turned down Condi's offer....Ultimately, Iraq's Oil
Ministry was given to Fadhil's tribesman, Ahmad Chalabi, a convicted
bank swindler....But whichever Chalabi is nominal head of Iraq's oil
industry in Baghdad, the orders come from Houston. Indeed, the oil law
adopted by Iraq's shaky government this month is virtually a photocopy
of the 'Options' plan first conceived in Texas long before Iraq was
'liberated.' In other words, the war has gone exactly to plan---the
Houston plan."
The facts are that before the war, Iraq's oil production was 4
million barrels a day, and now it is down to 2.1 million barrels.
Today oil is $57 a barrel compared to $18 a barrel before the Bush
presidency.
Who specifically has benefited from the war? In my expanded
addendum to my COVER-UP book, I wrote that "after the war with Iraq
commenced, ABC News on March 22, 2003, related that 'weeks before the
first bombs dropped in Iraq, the Bush administration began rebuilding
plans.' Referring to 'Secret Bids,' ABC News indicated that it had
'obtained a copy of a 99-page contract worth $600 million....Among the
companies believed to be bidding are Bechtel...and Halliburton,
Vice-President Cheney's old firm'." Halliburton's primary business is
"oil services," such as drilling and piping equipment. And since the
war began, Halliburton's stock has tripled in value to $64 a share.
Also, do you remember President Bush's message to the Iraqis as
the war began----"Do not destroy oil wells"? Well, guess who got the
contract to extinguish oil well fires. It was U.S. contractor Kellogg
Brown and Root, a subsidiary of Halliburton. And concerning the oil
companies, the value of the 5 biggest companies' oil reserves has more
than doubled during the war to $2.36 trillion. Specifically regarding
Exxon-Mobil, its record profit of $10 billion last quarter is the
largest of any corporation in history !
The power elite who are running the world know exactly what they
are doing, and the war in Iraq is part of their long-range plan
leading toward a World Socialist Government. One of their key agents
is European Union High Representative Javier Solana, about whom I have
written before. And on February 14 of this year in New York, he
delivered a speech at the Arthur Burns Dinner, in which he stated that
"it is true to say that the future global system will be a system of
continents and continent-wide regimes, such as the European Union,
African Union and ASEAN Plus." He also stressed "strengthening
regional cooperation," and said that "in today's world, we must be
ready to transcend the inter-state paradigm."
This basically is following Cecil Rhodes' plan "to take the
government of the whole world" by linking regional associations, as
explained by Rhodes' Association of Helpers member P.E. Corbett in
POST-WAR WORLDS (1942). Perhaps the most recent example of the
formation of a regional association (involving trade, security, etc.)
is the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP),
which includes the U.S., Canada and Mexico. And in the SPP's "Report
to Leaders, June 2005," one finds language such as "we need
integrated, coordinated and seamless measures," and "increased
economic integration," and "this Partnership is designed to be a
dynamic, permanent process." Get the idea? This is to be "permanent,"
and "economic integration" means that if Mexico's economy goes in the
tank, the U.S. and Canada will also be severely damaged ! Why would
any American leader want this type of arrangement?
And perhaps the most recent example of the "linking" of regional
arrangements can be found in the the first sentence of the March 20,
2007, FINANCIAL TIMES article, "EU and US to begin single market
push," which states: "The European Union and the U.S. will next month
start an ambitious initiative to harmonize regulations, norms and
technical standards in up to 40 economic and industrial sectors,
laying the cornerstone for a single market between the two regions."
Note the article even used the word, "region," when referring to the U.S.
The power elite's technique of accomplishing their ultimate goal
is to use the gradual approach, otherwise known as the "(Jean) Monnet"
method, which was used to condition the people of Europe eventually to
accept the European Union, after first having the European Economic
Community. This approach began almost a hundred years ago, at about
the time Sigmund Freud's nephew, Edward Bernays, authored PROPAGANDA
(1928), in which he boasted that they could "manipulate the organized
habits and opinions of the masses."
One of the most effective vehicles for manipulating or
conditioning "the masses" is to use the public schools----a captive
audience of young minds. In this regard, by the 1960s the "progressive
education" followers of John Dewey had gained control of the schools
down to the classroom level, and changed the emphasis from the
cognitive domain (academic basics) to the affective domain (social
relationships and feelings). This is because feelings are more
manipulable and subject to conditioning. Have you noticed that for the
last couple of decades people are more often asked how they "feel"
about something rather than what they "think" about it?
To be sure, public schools have not been the only place in which
the conditioning process was occurring. The Entertainment industry
also has proved useful to the power elite in this regard. For example,
rock music de-emphasizes lyrics about which one would "think," instead
emphasizing the "beat" which gives one a hyper "feeling." According to
Dr. Jack Wheaton, this "triggers major subconscious emotional
responses in the body...that can easily overpower the higher reasoning
portions of the brain and bring about uncontrollable physiological,
psychological, and spiritual changes that are often in direct conflict
with Biblical teachings."
Also regarding entertainment, just witness the recent popularity
of the movie (and book), "The DaVinci Code," in which Jesus is said to
have had sex with Mary Magdalene. How is this an example of
conditioning the masses. It brings Jesus down to the level of being
just another human rather than God. That's the "feeling" engendered.
But if you "think" about it, it makes no sense for Jesus to have sex
with a woman. After all, Jesus is God and can do anything. Therefore,
He is perfectly capable of instantly thinking Himself into a state of
ecstasy far greater than any human sexual activity produces. "Think"
about it, and resist the machinations of the power elite who seek to
control us.
