The NEW Energy Crescent , at the Heart of the Fertile Crescent....






comparing U.S. woes to those of the former U.S.S.R.
----------------------------------------------------

http://www.energybulletin.net/23259.html

The former Soviet Union didn't simply
collapse - it was pushed - the highest-stakes
CIA operation ever, doing in Russia what it had
done in smaller countries all over the world, from
Chile to Guatemala to Greece.

There are Russians who understand the hidden
CIA hand very very well indeed....

It was a dangerous, irresponsible game for the
United States to play, but that was the daring-do
of people like Reagan and Bush, who no doubt
patted themselves on the back for their "secret"
victory that no one knows about.

Of course, it will come back to haunt us all....sooner than we think...

Recently, Israel’s Vice Prime Minister Shaul Mofaz offered an unequivocal veto on a key issue in the Middle East peace process. Any return of the Golan Heights to Syria would result in an “Iranian foothold” on Israel’s border and would thus not only be politically naïve but irrational.

Mofaz’s statement is symptomatic of a perception that is now deeply entrenched, not only in the Middle East, but in the United States as well.

That notion is of a hegemonic Iran that is attempting to dominate the region through an array of Shia proxies. This Iranian fifth column is believed to stretch from Beirut via Damascus, Gaza to Baghdad and finally from Iran to Saudi-Arabia to Yemen. Recent armed clashes between Hezbollah and the Lebanese government are, it is said, just another sign of Iran’s hegemonic reach.

Ironically, this perception brings Israel some rather unlikely partners. President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt claims that Shias are “always loyal to Iran," while King Abdullah of Jordan has coined the axiom about a rising “Shia crescent.” This “rise of the Shias” and the resulting “Sunni/Shia divide” is alleged to be creating an ever widening chasm in the region.

Although this perception may convince at first glance, it is ultimately based on generalizations that reveal more about its advocates than the actual reality on the ground.

Take Iraq, where the looming “Shia crescent” is often blamed for much of the chaos. Recent developments in Iraq allegedly point to a fundamental clash between Sunnis and Shias in the region and bear witness to malevolent Iranian interferences. But is Iraq really symptomatic of a greater Shia scheme?

True, sectarian tensions between Sunnis and Shias in Iraq have escalated since the fall of Saddam. But contrary to common perception, Iraqi Shias do not form a homogenous block that opposes the supposedly unified Sunnis.

Indeed, the contrary is true. In the light of Iraqi nationalism that crosses sectarian boundaries, it is farfetched to consider the Iraqi Shia merely proxies of Iran.

Instead, what we are witnessing in Iraq today is not ever increasing friction between religious communities but escalating internal power struggles within the Sunni and Shia communities. Ongoing violence in Basra and the fighting between Sunni “Awakening Councils” and Al Qaida in Iraq demonstrate this. In fact, the current escalation points to an increasing political struggle between the federalist position of Shia Prime Minister Nouri Al Maliki and the centralist position of Shia cleric Moqtada al Sadr. This struggle will ultimately define the political structure of Iraq.

Here is where Sunni-Shia cooperation comes in. Widely unnoticed, Iraqi Sunni and Shia centralists have managed in the last couple of months to form a united parliamentary platform that leaves sectarian tensions behind. More than a hundred followers of Ayad Allawi, Al Sadr, and others have joined their ranks. This supra-sectarian platform calls for a central government administration of Iraq’s natural resources and the postponement of the looming referendum to settle the status of the city of Kirkuk.

Change within the government is also noteworthy. Sunni ministers who had been boycotting the government since last year have returned to their posts.

Thus, Iraq is seeing both escalating intra-sectarian violence and cautious steps towards inter-sectarian alliances.

And what about Iran? Contrary to the blame games being played out in the US, Iran cannot be accused of an unrestrained aggressive stance toward Iraq. Of course, no Iranian decision-maker is interested in a US-success in Iraq that might well put regime-change in Iran back on the agenda. But the rationale behind Iran’s policy of economic, social and military engagement seems to be first and foremost, defensive.

Memories of Iraq’s eight year war of aggression against Iran in the 1980’s have not faded. From Iran’s perspective, any future threat originating from Iraq needs to be averted by ensuring the participation in Iraq’s government of Shias and Kurds.

These complexities are lost on many observers when matched up against the convenient and catchy rhetoric of the “Shia Crescent.” But they have not gone unnoticed among ordinary Arabs. A recent poll by the University of Maryland indicates that a large majority of Arabs in the region consider Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad one of the three most popular political leaders worldwide. Only 11 percent identified Iran as the biggest threat to their security. So if a Shia threat organized by Iran really does exist, why is it being ignored by those that it purportedly targets — the Sunni Arab majorities?

Rather than objectively describing the actual political situation in the Middle East, the notion of a fundamental Iranian threat is being used to continue unconditional Western support for increasingly unstable regimes. Moreover, the overstatement of the threat posed by Iran is also being used as a convenient excuse for political inflexibility and stagnating reform processes throughout the region.

But exaggerating the supposed Shia threat has a price. Continuous talk of a “Sunni-Shia divide” might ultimately develop into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Alarmist rhetoric may, in the end, jeopardize rather than protect the status quo in the region.

The Origins of the Overclass...
---------------------------------


The wealthy have always used many methods to
accumulate wealth, but it was not until the
mid-1970s that these methods coalesced into
a superbly organized, cohesive and efficient
machine. After 1975, it became greater than
the sum of its parts, a smooth flowing
organization of advocacy groups, lobbyists,
think tanks, conservative foundations, and
PR firms that hurtled the richest 1 percent
into the stratosphere...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_jewels_(Central_Intelligence_Agency)

The origins of this machine, interestingly
enough, can be traced back to the CIA.
This is not to say the machine is a formal
CIA operation, complete with code name and
signed documents.
(Although such evidence may surface soon -
and previously unthinkable domestic operations
such as MK-ULTRA, CHAOS and MOCKINGBIRD
show this to be a distinct possibility.)
But what we do know already indicts the CIA
strongly enough. Its principle creators were
Irving Kristol, Paul Weyrich, William Simon,
Richard Mellon Scaife, Frank Shakespeare,
William F. Buckley, Jr., the Rockefeller
family, Kissinger,and more...
Almost all the machine's creators had
proven and well defined, CIA backgrounds...

Since the industrial revolution the geopolitics of energy – who supplies it, and securing reliable access to those supplies – have been a driving factor in global prosperity and security. Over the coming decades, energy politics will determine the survival of the planet.

Confronting challenges between traditional geopolitical considerations, climate change and higher energy and carbon prices requires an understanding of the fragility of international oil and gas markets, but also of the nexus among energy security, climate change, and nuclear energy and proliferation. This blog seeks to address these interconnections, and the kinds of measures that will be needed to ensure sustainability, prosperity, and security, in the dark age of Dick Cheney's own energy Matrix....with the USA's "shadow military mini-cabinet" of the foothills of Jackson Hole Wyoming...., CFR, etc. , with puppet GWB as a front man and a "cheer leader". The old boys network at its best, with the New Reichstag fires of 9/11 as a precursor, a common denominator for the new age of the PNAC, concocted in the 1990s, in the dark rooms of the elite intelligence units of the UK/USA Alliance...

The White House Murder Machinations Inc, will approach a "Nash equilibrium" this year...

It's Always Been About Oil....
In covert wars terms, the White House Murder Machinations Inc, will approach a "Nash equilibrium" this year, as every player in Lebanon and in "Syria of the Mafiosi Assad", accepts and executes CIA's sub-optimal outcome..., with Asef Shawkat still at the helm of the criminal Syrian Military Intelligence thugs in Damascus, in collusion with the weak, "faiblard..." indecisive stooge of CIA2 Michel Suleiman, who was instrumental in hiding, effacing, defacing... and eradicating facts on the ground, with his military intelligence goons of the LAF, during ALL political assassinations in Lebanon since January 24th 2002...despite all the obfuscations of the Media.... because they simply cannot trust anyone else to do better...at executing political assassinations, in order to "trigger monumental events" leading to more fracturing of the whole Middle East, the GCC....Central Asia, and on to Africa soon.... this is the core policy of CIA2/MOSSAD and it will never change under Obama/Clinton or anyone else for that matter....during the next 100 Years of continued militarization of energy security, for the Nexus of evils of the UKUSA alliance...all else is garbled FDDC rhetoric for the gullible...
Zionists and oil have been a major headline topic from [WSJ] Perle Linked to Kurdish Oil Plan* at the end of July to the Russian intervention in the formally (or formerly) Georgian regions South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
Many commentators like the Jewish Zionist Neocon Krauthammer have discussed Russian desire to control the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline. Of course, such analysts refrain from mentioning the equally strong intent of Zionists to gain control of oil resources throughout the world in order both to profit from them and also to guarantee that they cannot be used against Israel as happened in 1973.**
In general, the Kremlin has no tolerance for competing power centers within the Russian Federation or within the Russian sphere of influence as the experience of Russian Jewish oligarch Khodorkovski has shown. Surprise on the part of American foreign policy makers can only be attributed to incompetence because the period leading up to the attack on Georgia has been characterized by a surfeit of warning signs from Russia including (without limitation):
  • support for Serbia during the Clinton administration,
  • support for Abkhazian and South Ossetian separatism in Georgia,
  • crushing Chechen separatists,
  • support for pro-Russian political parties in the Ukraine,
  • intimidation of the Ukraine over natural gas requirements,
  • attempts to arrest other Russian Jewish oligarchs,
  • stalling over Iranian nuclear ambitions,resistance to the expansion of NATO,
  • opposition to the US attack on Iraq,
  • opposition to using sites within Poland and the Czech Republic for missile defense shield technology, and
  • rejection of independence for Kosovo.
The Russian government is almost certainly unhappy with the expansion of Zionist Jewish philanthropic politics and manipulation throughout the former Soviet Union.
While Russia has at least some influence over Ukrainian politics, Zionists have developed close relations with both the Saakashvili regime and the originally Jewish oligarch-led opposition with the result of effectively excluding the Russians.
When the USA showed weakness in its confrontation with Iran, the temptation for the Russian Federation to act must have been irresistible in the face of increasing Georgian provocation.
Not only is the Jewish Zionist involvement in the oil politics of the Caucasus nothing new, but it even dates from the earliest period in the development of Zionism.
Shortly after the discovery of petroleum in the region of the Baku in 1879, the French Rothschilds began to invest in Czarist Russia with the hope of exploiting the oil resources. The targeted assassination of Czar Alexander II by a Jewish led terrorist organization created an anti-Jewish reaction that threatened Rothschild goals and that provided an incentive for the development of Zionist politics among Russian Jews.
The French Rothschilds in the 1880s do not seem to have been much interested in Zionism per se, and they probably could not really distinguish one form of Russian Jewish radical politics from another, but creating or supporting Jewish colonies in Palestine could easily have appeared to the Rothschild family as a sort of pressure release valve that could prove to the Czarist government the benefits of working with the French Rothschilds to develop an oil industry.
By the late 1890s explorers had found evidence of sizable oil deposits in Ottoman Mesopotamia. D'Arcy Exploration (later Anglo-Iranian Oil Co.) discovered commercial oil in 1908 at Masjid-i-Suleiman in Iran. During the same time period, Herzl had developed the Dreyfus case as a gimmick to market Zionism by scare-mongering the possibility of pogroms in Western Europe.
Probably inspired by fear and self-interest the British Rothschilds put their financial resources into the service of Zionism just as they were investing in Anglo-Iranian Oil Co. Because Russian Jews were already heavily involved in the Russian oil service industry thanks to French Rothschild investments, the British Rothschilds could even justify their efforts on behalf of Zionism as a way to bring useful personnel to the ME to work in a ME oil industry.
Because the Ottoman Empire was an impediment both to Zionism and to full exploitation of Middle Eastern oil by the UK, it had to go -- at least in the minds of Zionist leaders, who made a lot of money available to British politicians of the same opinion during the period leading to WWI. These political investments culminated in the Balfour declaration and in the vivisection of the Ottoman Empire in the aftermath of WWI despite the worries of the British foreign office about the geostrategic implications and the effect among British imperial Muslim subjects.***
Even though a significant number of the British government officials opposed Zionism right from the start, they never hindered Zionist efforts to any great extent. British Zionist leader Herbert Samuel became the first High Commissioner to Mandatory Palestine, and the Haifa-Mosul pipeline was put into operation in 1931.
The marriage of the Eastern European Zionist intelligentsia to Western European Jewish plutocracy within the realm of late 19th and early 20th century oil politics forms the original and continuing basis of the Zionist imperial system, whose virtual colonial motherland I call Judonia.
The Judonian lust to control Caucasian, Middle Eastern and world oil supplies has grown ever stronger in the almost century since the Balfour Declaration was addressed to Walter Rothschild and has colored Bush administration Neocon-inspired policies toward the ME, Venezuela, and the territories of the former Soviet Union.
Modern international politics is only comprehensible with a thorough understanding of the relationship between petroleum and Judonia as long as care is taken to distinguish between Judonia and Jews.

Ever since Zionist Jewish oligarchs took control of Jewish education throughout the world, far too many Jews confuse the interests of ordinary Jews and those of Judonia, but Judonia serves only the Zionist Jewish oligarchy and intelligentsia. For Judonia ordinary Jews are simply a resource and nothing more.
NOTES
* According to the WSJ article Perle negotiated this deal with the help of Aydan Kodaloglu, who has long been a Zionist shill within Turkey.
Like Father like Sun discloses the following information:
Alleged journalist Claudia Rosett hits the ground of SethAndIranistan running, readily adapting to the Sun practice of ignoring empirical reality in favor of preferred narrative. She likewise proves herself proficient in omitting rather crucial details when introducing sources. Rosett on the "Muslim world":
Reports yesterday from places such as Syria and Egypt, as well as Iraq itself, quoted men-in-the-street as both stunned and contemptuous that Saddam, though armed with a pistol in his hole, surrendered without a shot. "He's such a coward, the way he was captured today," says Turkish businesswoman Aydan Kodaloglu, reached by phone in Ankara. "Every fundamentalist in the Muslim world is going to be thinking of this picture," added Ms. Kodaloglu, referring to the TV footage of a compliant, disheveled Saddam, opening his mouth wide for a flashlight and tongue depressor, and bowing his head while a doctor checked for lice.
Businesswoman? American Enterprise stooge? "An Ankara political consultant active in promoting Israel-Turkey relations" (as reported by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency - a "venerable" and "highly credible wire" as SethAndIra told us last month - on November 20, 2002)? Rosett is of course not fooling her readers - simply because nobody reads the atrocious Sun.

With "journalists" as thick-headed and oblivious to the story featuring so prominently in the paper's pages, there's no real reason to bother. Rosett's 700-page gloat plays up the fact that the once mighty Saddam reduced to the figure of a "bedraggled fugitive cowering facedown with his gun in a hole in the ground" will serve as a potent "symbol of defeat" for "terrorists," by which she means Muslims. Of immediate note to anyone at all paying attention, one wonders how this pathetic cowering tyrant was able to orchestrate the loyalists and foreign terrorists that comprise the Iraqi resistance in the Sun's telling literally from a hole in the ground. Ms. Rosett chooses not to trouble herself with so obvious a question.
** The Israel Lobby and American Society points out:
When the Arab oil producers reacted [to US policy of support for Israel during the 1973 war] by imposing an embargo, the Kristols and their fellow Neocons, responded by discovering that "US security interests" required Friedmanist privatization of Arab oil companies so that they would be run solely for profit with no possible future use as a political weapon. No other rational interpretation of Greenspan: Ouster Of Hussein Crucial For Oil Security[401] is possible because some future ruler of Iraq could easily be even worse than Saddam Hussein by whatever criteria are current at that time. In this sense, the Second Iraq War probably was all about the political threat oil represents to Israel and not about any compelling American security requirement except in the minds of those that cannot distinguish American and Israeli interests....hence Israel "and" America....became
a covert paradigm...used by the power behind the power in USA to
steamroll US politics into complete submission to the Wyoming boys...
the CFR,...etc...the so-called ISRAEL's influential lobby....is a myth
propagated by this occult power behind the power....because it is a
very handy and a "cheap" way ...of controlling both houses of
congress ...without ever disclosing any of the rogue intelligence and
covert...extra-judicial operations...and all policies....in USA and the
world for that matter... and the so-called Israeli lobby, with all of its
spectacular ramifications worldwide is completely and utterly
subservient to this power behind the power in USA, they are just a
front and a cover...for the real power behind all powers in USA, and
its criminal enterprise, the newfound Siamese twins of CIA2/MOSSAD,
and the White House Murder Machinations INC, which is globalized
in nature since 1994/95....-
