Comments on: Greenspan Misses Cheney’s Memo: Spills the Beans on Oil http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2007/09/17/greenspan-misses-cheney%e2%80%99s-memo-spills-the-beans-on-oil/ Tue, 18 Nov 2008 09:56:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Sam http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2007/09/17/greenspan-misses-cheney%e2%80%99s-memo-spills-the-beans-on-oil/#comment-26463 Sam Wed, 19 Sep 2007 10:44:37 +0000 http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2007/09/17/greenspan-misses-cheney%e2%80%99s-memo-spills-the-beans-on-oil/#comment-26463 Left gatekeepers propagated the myth the war was about oil. The truth is zionists like Greenspan have dragged the West into The Middle East conflict on Israel’s side, on the back of a series of false flag terror attacks in the West blamed on ‘Muslim Terror’. Thats the truth. Thats why you don’t hear it. Left gatekeepers propagated the myth the war was about oil.

Everybody who's anybody in the military industrial complex is making money hand over fist. We've got a whole new group of contractors (mercenaries) trained and familiar w/ the country. When the time comes - when the US military is completely kaput - we'll see this for what it is: a corporate takeover of a sovereign country for profit. The reason no one talks about what 'victory' looks like, is because there's not supposed to be a victory that involves the US winning. Victory is the US military out, and then the corporate whores will operate w/ complete impugnity - killing anyone who even looks like they might stand in the way. Then, and only then, will the oil flow. And, the US be damned! The oil will go to the highest bidder, and that means the end of cheap oil here, 'cause we're so in debt - especially with the looming cost of rebuilding an army basically from scratch (more proteering available here) - that China will likely be able to offer a far better price than we can. And the oil companies know no loyalty. Read "War is a Racket" http://lexrex.com/enlightened/articles/warisaracket.htm I can't recall which site from yesterday's readings referenced it, but it sums up the war business. Country Joe MacDonald basically summed it up in his "I feel like I'm fixin' to die rag" from the last quagmire: Come on wall street don't be slow why man this war is a go-go there's plenty good money to be made by supplying the army with the tools of its trade let's hope and pray that if they drop the bomb, they drop it on the Viet Cong Actually, I think the war is going exactly as planned.

Country Joe MacDonald basically summed it up in his “I feel like I’m fixin’ to die rag” from the last quagmire:

Come on wall street don’t be slow
why man this war is a go-go
there’s plenty good money to be made by
supplying the army with the tools of its trade
let’s hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
they drop it on the Viet Cong

Mr turncoat, Alan Greenspan, has turned coat on his <strong>masters</strong>!!!! Well actually, I think he is of the Rockerfella school, so that would make him a closet Democrat, so perhaps this is no great surprise. My mum came out here recently (hence I have not been posting). Per chance on the picturesque ferry ride to Manly beach I was quized about some of the local islands in view by a lady sitting beside me. She kept on using "we" when she was clearly on her own. Is this an American tradition. It turned out she was an Alabameran....er, or someone from Alabama. Or rather, let's get this right, someone who had moved to Alabama from New York. Of course [with APEC.....or is that OPEC] I asked if she had come here to avoid Bush (it was the day after he left Australia). With that she launched into a verbose tirade (devoid of substance or anything even remotely factual) on how the huge majority were absolute supporters of Bush and we were witnessing a, brace yourselves, <strong>media conspiracy hell bent on the downfall of the great man</strong>. I responeded with a simple question "Why [do people support Bush]?" To wit....I was greated with silence. Clearly she was not an unintelligent woman, even though she did have a preoccupation with shopping at Wallmart (or K-mart, Target...here) - places I cross as I walk by. My concern was her intrenched denial, her absolute unreasoned refusal to contemplate, devoid of compassion, swelling hatred in some kind of sinister, surrogate attempt to deitise everything <em>patriotic</em>. That is my concern with America and the World. Let us hope her passion for hatred is not infectious. Well Larry, and you’ve surpassed yourself again - it’s a great piece, I’m shocked….

Thats why Bush wants all the extra time, he cant seem to get them to sign over all the freakin oil. Lets face it people, we only go to war with countries who have something we want. Theres lots of people worse than Sadam killing others, and we dont seem to be in there trying help those sorry basterds. When dumb shits vote Texas Oil men into office,they should know what they are going to get, and we got sons of bitches stealing us and the world BLIND.

(sigh)... perhaps if the illustrious Greenspan says it, then the press will actually lend a bit more credence to the 'politically inconvenient' notion that oil lies at the core of this fiasco, after all. I'm no Greenspan fan, but every bit helps. And the 'assumption' <em>everyone knows this</em> smacks it to anyone with their head still in the sand. Bet his Christmas invite to the WH will be mislaid, lost, or missent this year.

Maybe it would have been more efficient to, like, <em>negotiate</em> or something.
