This extinction in the making has simply been another unfortunate and entirely unintended consequence of our invasion of Iraq—though that will be of little comfort to the Mandeans, whose 2,000-year-old culture is in grave danger of disappearing ..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandaeans Swarthmore College liberal arts college formerly Quaker associations with Quaker settlement:  Baltimore, New York & Philadelphia Quakers prominent in: -- abolishionist politics (end slavery) -- women's rights politics Quakers go back to:  Ulverston, Cumbria, (previously in Lancashire) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swarthmore_College ILLEGAL US CAPITALIST 2003 IRAQ WAR 90% Mandeans killed or fled Therefore, this is an ethnic cleansing of Iraq Mandeans, which is a war crime  US Capitalist Empire vassal states are the assigned depots for displaced Mandaeans (and over 150 varieties of others from around the globe, who are either displaced by Western capitalist wars of aggression, consequences of assaults such as regime change and installation of dictators, or simply kept in poverty by Western capitalist exploitation by financial/economic levers or means ... and European societies bear the costs of unbridled capitalist ruling class greed): Sweden (c. 7,000) Australia (c. 3,500 as of 2006) UK (c. 1,000) Canada (number not specified) US Capitalist Empire takes:  abt. 1,500 Sweden is No. 1 Dumping Ground Depot of the ruling capitalists, and Sweden is earmarked for imminent dissolution as ancestral home of the Swedes.  It's Swedish suicide, brought to you by genocidal capitalism masking as 'Feminist Foreign Policy'. Meanwhile, the European demographic composition and culture of the US Capitalist Empire vassal states is progressively and irreversibly altered and placed on a path of destruction.  All roads lead to displacement, divestment and destruction of Europeans. So, that's two lots of cultures & peoples that have been dispossessed and assigned to the 'multicultural' defacement and destruction by way of capitalist greed globalisation scrap heap, as result of (a) uniform post WWII Western ruling elite policy and (b) as result of the illegal Iraq War 2003, in this instance, that was brought to us by Western capitalists. What they're doing is criminal, but the Western liberal-left propagandist intelligentsia, media, NGOs, activists and rent-a-mob applaud capitalist greed orchestrated mass population transfer to European societies (and destruction thereof), as if genocide twice over was the milk of human kindness.  Lying assh*les. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandaeans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aramaic_language Azerbajani, Muslim Magomayev was a popular singer in the Soviet Union. Magomayev was known as the 'King of Songs' and the 'Soviet Sinatra'. I found him while looking up Baku.  So far, this is the song I like best.   He's singing in Russian.  English translation - here.  It probably doesn't translate well, but I like the overall sound. Historically, Azerbajan was Zoroastrian.

Chechnya, Caspian Energy & the Great Game

CHECHNYA NSFW Corp (Pando) Washington’s highly-politicized position on Chechen separatists dangerously misguided policy in which Chechen radicals have been protected and nurtured neocon-fronted US geopolitical strategy in Chechnya rank cynicism of US policy in Chechnya Why would so many sleazy neocons — Islam-bashers, terror-mongers and Cold War Reaganites — support armed Chechen separatists? Bill Kristol, James Woolsey, Frank Gaffney, Richard Perle, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and over 100 others put together the K Street lobby powerhouse ... "American Committee for Peace in Chechnya" (ACPC) Among the "distinguished" names were notorious Islamophobes Frank Gaffney and Michael Ledeen; Jon Podhoretz’s parents, Norman Podhoretz and Midge Decter, along Jon’s brother-in-law Eliot Abrams, a convicted felon over his role in Iran-Contra; and Abrams’ fellow Iran-Contra convicts Caspar Weinberger and Robert McFarlane. Many of the same figures lobbying for Chechen separatism fronted for Bush’s invasion of Iraq. ... notorious neocon outfit, Freedom House Freedom House was linked to a string of pro-US "color revolutions" in eastern Europe and elsewhere —the "Rose Revolution" in Georgia, the "Orange Revolution" in Ukraine, the failed "Tulip Revolution" in Kyrgyzstan, and the failed 2002 coup in Venezuela to overthrow Hugo Chavez. Jamestown Foundation, a right-wing Cold War propaganda outfit founded by Reagan’s CIA director William Casey in the early 1980s. Russophobia; its politics are right-wing, pro-military, and pro-Big Oil.   Jamestown board members have included Dick Cheney, Zbigniew Brzezinski, James Woolsey, and another ex-CIA director, Michael Hayden. The president of the Jamestown Foundation, Glen Howard, served as the executive director of the American Committee for Peace in Chechnya.  Before joining Jamestown, Howard had worked as an analyst at SAIC, one of the largest private contractors serving the CIA and Pentagon. Howard also bills himself as a consultant to oil majors operating in the Caspian Sea region. ... support for the Chechen separatist leaders was strong in both Saudi Arabia and the US and Britain. Al Qaeda links Empire and oil are the two constants in the "human rights" campaign for Chechnya. Big Oil is what made the neocons’ hearts bleed. money interests can turn Islamophobes into bleeding-heart apologists for Chechen terrorism breakup of the Soviet Union = excitement in the oil and gas industry over the vast unexploited oil and gas reserves in weak, newly-independent Muslim states, all bordering the Caspian Sea: Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and to a lesser extent, Turkmenistan. Century prior = Royal Dutch Shell was one of the Caspian oil fields’ biggest profiteers Bolsheviks nationalized the oil fields after they took power in 1917, closing off the Caspian energy resources from Western control [FALL SOVIET UNION] Western oil reps were crawling around the ruins of Gorbachev’s empire, slavering over the Caspian region EXTRACTS ONLY - Full Article by Mark Ames:   https://www.nsfwcorp.com/dispatch/prisoners-of-the-caspian-part-one/ Really like this guy's article.  Heaps of interesting information. The above is only some of the information that caught my attention. Days later, I need to familiarise myself again, so I might have to go back and have another look.  Takes me ages to remember things. Article goes on to say that oil interests took precedence over US national security interests in the Caspian region, to the point of US protecting terrorists and that a CIA official (Robert Baer) resigned as a result. How bad must it be if even the CIA are disgusted? Baer's Time mag's intelligence columnist and has written for a bunch of other publications, including Washington Post and Wall Street Journal. The rest of the stuff on his Wikipedia page doesn't even register.  Sounds like a movie.  None of it feels real to me. The 'free press' is nonsense.  The press is corporate owned and it wouldn't surprise me if a good percentage of reporters were spies or ex-spies, while those that aren't are readily bribed (see CIA bribery revelation of Udo AlfKotte, German journalist >> German press is a PR appendage of NATO.). Ames' article points out that there's an OVERLAP between big oil, foreign policy and lobbyists (pro Chechnya lobbyists, in this case). Regional control boils down to control of resources and pipelines. Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline gets a mention.  Looked that up the other day, probably as a result of reading this. Bill Clinton was at the centre of this Caspian struggle. In 1999, while Russia was embroiled in a Chechnya war (a look-up job for me), Clinton made a surprise 'Ta-da, we're building a pipeline in Azerbaijan' announcement, which seemed to have seriously pissed off Yeltsin, who went as far as reminding the US that the Russians have nuclear weapons.  What?  Here's the cool bit:  this is where Vladimir Putin comes into the picture, as new Prime Minister (making it 15 years of leadership for Putin). Hey, this calls for Putin video insert (I actually like this and think it's cute.  Ummm, is that warped?): The writer's quite funny.  Said Yeltsin nearly launched the world's first and only nuclear suicide bombing over the US usurping the goodies in Azerbaijan. Article goes into Russia backing various parties in the region and causing destabilisation of newly independent states, but that's probably US propaganda.  Even if it's not, this is Russia's backyard and they have more right to seek influence in the region than the West. Another funny:  the West 'goes Alex Jones' on Russia, presumably over their earlier backing of players in the region.  That Jones guy sure is strange.  Wonder what his trip is?  As for the US, what hypocrites. And that's pretty much it in part one, as far as my interest are concerned.  Might have to follow up on the other parts somewhere down the track.  I'm having enough trouble absorbing what's going on so far. Below is info regarding the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline: Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline /crude oil Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan crude oil pipeline Operator BP Connects Baku (Caspian), #Azerbaijan to #Georgia & #Turkey Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline /crude oil Operator:  BP PARTNERS > BP > SOCAR > Chevron > Statoil TPAO > Eni Total SA > Itochu Inpex > ConocoPhillips > Hess Corporation 70% funding = 3rd party World Bnk (International Finance Corp) Euro Bank for Reconstr & Devel 7 nation export agencies 15 banks ----------------------------------- Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan pipeline / Crude oil  >> Azerbaijan (Caspian) to Georgia Turkey [INSERT PIE CHART] >> BP (#UK)   30.1% >> SOCAR (Azerbaijan) 25% ... largest stakes >Chevron (USA) 8.90% >ConocoPhillips (USA) 2.50% >Hess Corporation (USA) 2.36%      Total:  13.76% Statoil (Norway) 8.71%  TPAO (Turkey) 6.53% Eni (Italy) 5.00% Total (France) 5.0% >Itochu (Japan) 3.4% >Inpex (Japan)  2.50%    Total:  5.9% [Wikipedia] Don't know why they didn't just call it the Baku pipeline to make it easier to remember. The biggest stakeholder is British BP, followed by combined US interests (not counting Azerbaijan).  Then comes Norway, Turkey. Japan, and Italy and France at 5% each. That Norway is in there is interesting.  Being Statoil, it is probably a state government company.  Yeah, the Norwegian government owns 67%.   It's massive: "Statoil operates oil and gas fields in Australia, Algeria, Angola, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Canada, China, Libya, Nigeria, Russia, United States, and Venezuela." and it's looking for more business in Mexico, Qatar & UAE. It's probably also worthwhile noting it has: "processing plants in Belgium, Denmark, France, and Germany." Looking at information on some of these large companies is a dwarfing experience. The companies seem so huge and kind of intimidating when sizing them up, in contrast to government.  But government only seems 'small' in comparison to the large corporations because we're lulled into believing we're somehow stakeholders in government, and that it's a benign, appointed caretaker ticking along in the background doing all the right things on our behalves. So government's huge and corporations combined are probably even mightier than government. I'm finding it hard to get a feel for just how big the machinery of the state-corporate partnership is.  Compared to the tiny and disposable individual, it's colossal. If you look at the tussle over energy, profits, regional control, strategic advantage here in this article, it probably sums up 'the meaning of life' in politics.  This is it.  This is all there's ever been.  There's nothing more.  And people are killed and continue to lose their lives over these kinds of struggles.  Over and over again. P.S.  This gives the game away in the Middle East, then Human Rights = empire & oil (agenda) Certainty = backing dangerous terrorists to do one's regional bidding

Today's Travels

Today's Travels Not a lot happens in Moldova ... I think. Some money laundering with someone from the Russian Federation that involved a NZ company.  Massive amount of money.  But not as impressive as the amount of money the Mexican drug cartels turn over.  Recent bust.  LA garment district, I think it was.  H.U.G.E. money.  Something like $70 million in cash alone. Azerbaijan and an autonomous republic seem to be buddies and the Pres of Az is related by marriage to the 'lord' of the landlocked district (Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic) -- Vasif Talibov. Had to look that up.  Trouble remembering:  Nakchivan Nakhchivan. Vasif Talibov is "said to run the region as his "personal fiefdom" and he: "supported Heydar Aliyev after his return from Moscow to Nakhchivan to seize power and participated in the establishment of the New Azerbaijan Party (NAP) founded by Haydar Aliyev." Just spotted a very strange link between Nakhchivan and a region in Austria - Styria (Steiermark).  'Cleantech' is the big money spinner in the region, which relates to recycling, renewable energy, grey water, information technology (odd man out?) etc. Security forces said to use "excessive force against opponents of the ruling regime" and Talibov seen as member of ruling oligarchy "centred around the Aliyev family". Ilham Aliyev, Az Pres is son of a former president of Azerbaijan (Heydar Aliyev, born Nakhchivan, & "ousted from Politburo by Gorbachev"), his government is described as 'autocratic' and is said to be corrupt.   US / Amnesty International allegations: election 'irregularities' crackdowns against journalists and opposition activists jailing of election monitors In 2009 Aliyev: "passed a referendum which removed the presidential consecutive term limit, thereby allowing him to run for president as many times as he wishes." There's also a standing provision (couldn't be bothered checking again) that the president is immune from being sued or something like that. Ilham Aliyev is described by Daily Mail as a "billionaire dictator" and a "despot" and the country is described as an "oil rich state".   In 2011 Prince Anderew stood down as UK trade envoy because of his relationship with Aliyev, who is accused of.   '...routine use of excessive and brutal force by police, restrictions on public protest, and the censorship imposed on bloggers and journalists who are beaten and imprisoned for criticising the government.’ Some other DM article indicates massive oil wealth and a population of fewer than 10 million. Tried to find the 'missing princess' but I couldn't find her, so she must belong to some other country. Did come across a photo of protester being savagely beaten, so maybe it's no bull about the human rights violations. Too tired to look any more.  It's just a snippet of Azerbaijan which will hopefully come in handy next time I read something associated. ........................................................................... PS I've had to keep editing the reference to the autonomous republic because I'm confusing it with some other  'defacto republic' that the Armenians and Azerbaijanis fought over and have mixed up the details. Pain trying to keep them straight. This one's landlocked. The other one isn't.  The other region is a 'mountainous' and borders Armenia -- it's Nagorno-Karabakh. Initially thought it also bordered Iran & Turkey, but on second (quickie) look, I don't think it does. I'm on the verge of collapse, so I'm not confirming.
