U.S. RULING OLIGARCHY WAGES HYBRID WAR TO SALVAGE HEGEMONY [LINK | Article]
Who's preaching world democracy, democracy, democracy? —Who wants to make free people free?
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
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
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
EU-NATO IMPERIALISM ❌
