WikiLeaks: Oil Motivates U.S. Policy More than Fighting Terrorists - Nafeez Ahmed
ꕤArticle SOURCE alternet | here Wikileaks' Cables Suggests that Oil Motivates U.S. Policy More than Fighting Terrorists
Among the batch of classified diplomatic cables recently released by the controversial whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks, several have highlighted the vast extent of the financial infrastructure of Islamist terrorism sponsored by key U.S. allies in the ongoing "War on Terror."

COMMENT Surprised that Pakistan is there, although I know Pakistan's terrorist central. Why? Pakistan seems like odd man out. The Brits made a deal that should be void: ie protecting the puppet monarchs from *internal* challenges ... which effectively means taking part in enslaving these populations under the control of these Western propped monarchies or other dictatorships, because it precludes the rise of anything remotely close to 'proper democracy' (if that's actually possible ... anywhere), I would think. "... when Britain failed to defend Persia in the Russo-Persian War of 1826-28-a course of inaction which Britain was fully justified in taking because Persia had started the war and the 1814 mutual defense agreement obligated Britain to defend Persia only against aggression-the Shah concluded that Britain was an unreliable ally, and in effect he went over to the Russian side." [here] Wow, that was way earlier than I thought. It was the early 1800s. The Shah concluded correctly, in my opinion. lol Stick with the Russians, Persia. Bin Laden wasn't happy about the Western support for repressive regimes in the region; but it also sounds like there's maybe a religious and cultural element to OBL's objection, judging by the terminology used: 'Crusader-Jewish'? Or maybe I'm reading too much into that? It's thanks to Gates' policy that there's a spread of sectarian violence in the Middle East, including Iraq and Lebanon. The funnelling of money that reached al-Qaeda is confirmed (presidential finding, 2008). So this isn't speculation.
So, Gates, the architect of Hell (ie the policy of funnelling American money to Sunni al-Qaeda affiliated terrorists, in the Middle East) has been free the last 5 years, while Australian journalist, Julian Assange, has been a political prisoner in Britain (Britain, which is America's Middle Eastern second banana partner in oil and crime) -- held without charge, for exposing US and allied war crimes, those same 5 years that Architect of Hell, Robert Gates, has been free. How can this be permitted to happen in democracies, among free men? Can somebody please help Assange:

Brief - West, Middle East, Eastern Europe
BRIEF - MISC
Eastern Europe
Just random bits of information and
comments.
Really don't think it's a good idea to
disarm for anyone fighting over independence and territory.
Yemen seems to be where all the action was.
At first I thought that the Houthis have
taken over. But maybe I'm wrong and they just wanted a change of
government.
Discovered that it's easier to remember
information about countries if you see some photos associated with the country.
In my mind's eye I can see downtown Sana'a,
so it helps remember the news (I think).
Hmmm ... just had a look at Google images and, boy, was I wrong imagining Sana'a as a modern city. Guess you've got to look at more than one photo. LOL. The city isn't familiar, like I imagined. It's very old and 'alien' looking (from my western urban perceptive). I'm taking a guess that large parts of the city and, maybe the customs, are unchanged from biblical times.
What else?
Surprised Russia isn't clamping down on
foreign agitator NGOs in their midst.
I've not read the Sarkozy come-back article
yet.
Bling Bling should get elected no problems
in France, as they've got a history of political figures associated with
corruption allegations who remained in power.
The Israelis are funny. Surprised to
see the word 'c*cksucker' in Times of Israel.
The impression I get of them is that
they're people who kind of let it all hang out -- and from snippets I've
encountered here and there, I also get the impression they've got a sense of humour.
Surprised anyone (non-western) allows PEN International
to operate within their borders.
When I see NGO, all I can think is:
stirring up trouble by stealth.
NZ’s Jonathan Curr’s now ambassador in
Turkey.
Turkey’s nice and slack. No danger of kidnap.
Don’t know who wound up with the Middle
East appointment. Too lazy too
check. Expect it will pop up some time during
online travels.

US - Syria - Caution from Russia
Discovered an old NYT article via twitter. I'm not up-to-date. Just started watching this stuff, so it's some good info for me. Not big on the religious references. I see the UN as just another way for the US to exert influence and dominate, because their various defence and trade allies will always vote with the US. US has always interfered with internal conflicts in other countries, so it should hardly be a surprise if they want to interfere in Syria. So Syria fighting is about multiple extremist religious factions having a go at the government in a quest for religious (?) supremacy and, pretty much, that's all it is? US has designated al-Nusra Front and al-Qaeda 'terrorist'. These religious groups (along with Arab mercenaries), aim to spread conflict to other regions, currently battle it out in Syria. Yet opposition groups in Syria have been supplied with foreign weapons. Who by? I think the US were wanting to arm the opposition, but I'd need to look that up. Looks like these religious fighters also have an eye on Israel. So basically, if the US is going to make an 'exception' of itself and if the UN veto counts for nothing, the UN may meet the same fate as the League of Nations. Meanwhile, where there is a lack of confidence in the UN, arms proliferation takes place. So it looks like the US were planning on attacking Syria? Funny how they're now planning on attacking Russia. .......................................................................... Well, there's already a precedent for ignoring the UN and for being the 'exception', so they may as well disband the UN because the UN is a farce.
Dig those code names. Not only did Clinton and NATO disregard the UN, Clinton disregarded the US congress as well: Clinton needed a new mission for NATO. The Soviet Union had collapsed and if you recall, the NATO Treaty was a collective security agreement between member nations that if one NATO nation were attacked by the Soviet Union (CCCP), other NATO members would go to its defense. In violation of International law, the NATO Treaty, the UN Charter and without the approval of Congress, Clinton and his administration, along with Serb-hating Madeline Albright, Wesley Clark, Richard Holbrooke and the rest of the Clinton gang, bombed tiny Yugoslavia that did not attack us or any NATO nation, was never a threat to us, nor did it have weapons of mass destruction. [here] The precedent is set: International law, NATO, the UN, the UN Charter and the US Congress are meaningless shams. |
