Bush
Cabal Painted Themselves
into the
Proverbial Corner--
The Euro, the Dollar, & Iraqi Oil
By Junious Ricardo Stanton
|
If
Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (WMD) program truly
possessed the threat level that President Bush has
repeatedly purported, why is there no international
coalition to militarily disarm Saddam? Secondly, despite
over 300 unfettered U.N. inspections to date, there has
been no evidence reported of a reconstituted Iraqi WMD
program. Third, and despite Bush's rhetoric, the CIA has
not found any links between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda.
To the contrary, some analysts believe it is far more
likely Al Qaeda might acquire an unsecured former Soviet
Union Weapon(s) of Mass Destruction, or potentially from
sympathizers within a destabilized Pakistan.
Moreover,
immediately following Congress's vote on the Iraq
Resolution, we suddenly became aware of North Korea's
nuclear program violations. Kim Jong Il is processing
uranium in order to produce nuclear weapons this year.
President Bush has not provided a rationale answer as to
why Saddam's seemingly dormant WMD program possesses a
more imminent threat than North Korea's active program.
Strangely, Donald Rumsfeld suggested that if Saddam were
‘exiled’ we could avoid an Iraq war. Confused yet?
Well, I'm going to give their game away -- the core
driver for toppling Saddam is actually the euro
currency. Although completely suppressed in the U.S.
media, the answer to the Iraq enigma is simple yet
shocking. The upcoming war in Iraq war is mostly about
how the ruling class at Langley and the Bush oligarchy
view hydrocarbons at the geo-strategic level, and the
overarching macroeconomic threats to the U.S. dollar
from the euro. The Real Reason for this upcoming war is
this administration's goal of preventing further OPEC
momentum towards the euro as an oil transaction currency
standard. However, in order to pre-empt OPEC, they need
to gain geo-strategic control of Iraq along with its 2nd
largest proven oil reserves. -- W Clark, Independent
Media Center, Jan. 2003 |
Even the goofiest AmeriKKKans know oil plays
a major role in the pending war in Iraq. Oil is one of a myriad
of reasons for Bush's rush to war. Iraq contains the world's
second largest proven and for Bush and Co. the operative words
are proven oil reserves, it is strategically located near the
world's largest supply, Saudi Arabia and it is in close
proximity to huge suspected reserves in Central Asia. Iraqi
leader Saddam Hussein is an enemy of Israel (some people think
AmeriKKKa is Israel' surrogate in this) the Bush administration
and its globalist cohorts covet the worlds resources, land and
labor.
As convincing and logical as all these
arguments are, I recently discovered another reason, Bush wants
to topple Hussein to prevent OPEC's embrace of the Euro currency
thereby jettisoning the U.S. Dollar as the world's oil exchange
currency! Saddam Hussein switched from US Petro dollars in 2000
to the Euro, the currency of the expanding European Union (now
we see why Germany and France don't support Bush, they are part
of the EU). If what W. Clark claims in his lengthy article in http://www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/RRiraqWar.html
is true, Bush wants to change governments not to settle an old
family score, but to prevent the U.S. Dollar from becoming a
second rate entity and exacerbating AmeriKKKa's economic woes
globally.
If OPEC members follow Hussein's lead, it
could spell disaster for an already slumping U.S. economy. Bush
and his globalist cronies hope to circumvent this and put fear
into the hearts of the other OPEC nations to prevent them from
replicating Hussein's move. Given his depraved mentality and the
macroeconomic implications for the U.S. economy, I can
understand Bush's desperate demand for regime change. Bush wants
a quick and decisive victory in Iraq but the best-laid plans
don't always go according to plan! His plans don't mention the
protracted occupation of Iraq, which is required if Bush is to
accomplish the second phase of his plan, the expropriation of
Iraqi oil!
According to Clark, Hussein took a calculated
risk switching from the U.S. Dollar to the Euro. Since then the
dollar has depreciated steadily in relation to the Euro, so
Hussein's gamble paid off handsomely for him. If other OPEC
members follow suit it would spell disaster for the U.S.
economy. Read Clark's article at http://www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/RRiraqWar.html
and you will glean a better understanding of the predicament
Bush and Co. find themselves. In his warped mind, Bush thinks
deposing Saddam Hussein of Iraq and Hugo Chavez Frias of
Venezuela will solve his problems. Alas even if Bush and Co. do
succeed in ousting Saddam Hussein and Hugo Chavez Frias thereby
preserving their hegemonic and hydrocarbon status quo, they will
create far more problems than they solve!

sense of self that can weather any

can make you money, but money can't make
you happy." |

The New Jim Crow
Mass Incarceration in the Age of
Colorblindness
By Michele Alexander
Contrary to the
rosy picture of race embodied in Barack
Obama's political success and Oprah
Winfrey's financial success, legal
scholar Alexander argues vigorously and
persuasively that [w]e have not ended
racial caste in America; we have merely
redesigned it. Jim Crow and legal racial
segregation has been replaced by mass
incarceration as a system of social
control (More African Americans are
under correctional control today... than
were enslaved in 1850). Alexander
reviews American racial history from the
colonies to the Clinton administration,
delineating its transformation into the
war on drugs. She offers an acute
analysis of the effect of this mass
incarceration upon former inmates who
will be discriminated against, legally,
for the rest of their lives, denied
employment, housing, education, and
public benefits. Most provocatively, she
reveals how both the move toward
colorblindness and affirmative action
may blur our vision of injustice: most
Americans know and don't know the truth
about mass incarceration—but her
carefully researched, deeply engaging,
and thoroughly readable book should
change that.—Publishers
