A FEW TWEETS ... of what caught my attention
ie. Nationalism deemed an issue in Ukraine and in Western Europe. Preaching tolerance agenda.
#UKRAINE -
dissolution parliament decree signed by #POROSHENKO >
new elections - 26th October 2014 - I'm guessing this is strategic move to stall for time or something.
"Russia relies LESS on imports from the countries it
is feuding with than they rely on exports to #Russia"
[QZ] >>> Whose idea: sanctions?
#EU combined
economy near 8x bigger than #Russia econ.
B/c EU act as bloc, hard to pick individual countries 4 targeted embargo ..EU
bullies
#USA does
not export much to #Russia ...
so farmers, economy etc in Europe take the hit for USA > #EU in op. for US
interests ... LMAO!
#NORWAY -
"Russia food ban blocked 3/4 Norway exports comprising almost entirely of
FISH" - oops. That's cost of being #EU + #US puppet
"#Canada—meat
and fish are the second- and fourth-largest Canadian exports to Russia" -
oops. Russian bans = price of being US province.
#Russia -
reliant import> fur-skin clothing; wallpaper & tea. Doesn't look
too critical for Russia on the import side of things.
Ppl analysing trade in corn & wheat [Thu. release of
export bookings 4 indicator of demand] > then gamble $$ weird> http://goo.gl/RAlfjv
#Iraq - US
interest in Iraqi Kurds looks like interest in crude oil - Kurds working to
quadruple capacity export >> http://www.futuresmag.com/2014/08/25/bulls-run-from-crude …
-
Libya & Iraq output flooding crude market >>
crude oil prices lowered >> refineries in US schedule Sept/Oct - good
timing
-
Is it cynical to believe that all of this is about crude
oil & MONEY and that the timing of the galvanising events is sus?
- Libya & Iraq > EIA forecasts US
production > 9.28 million barrels a day 2015, the highest annual average
since 1972. *SICK*

#ITALY

the strugglers in EU in the lurch.
#EU -

US-Russian strategic partnership" >> in 2014 OBAMA DECLARED STRATEGIC

Iraq, in my opinion, is about crude oil first and foremost. Correction. *Only* about crude oil. I firmly believe that. When the penny dropped I felt as if I'd discovered oil. It was visceral.
Things might hot up in Iraq, as there's a new appointment and he's had Iraq and other operations experience and a long career. Didn't check his predecessor's experience, so not sure.
Really ought to expand on that and on the 'counter-terrorism' expenditure highlighted, but I'm just too wiped out to focus any more.
Will just say, that I connect the counter-terrorism expenditure in this way: big business is interfering and manipulating o/seas for big bucks -- it's changing the course of countries' histories etc & people's lives.
It's doing so for nothing but corporate enrichment. So the government, as I see it, serves corporations instead of people.
There's no ideals here. It's not about ideals. It's not about aid. It's not about justice. It's none of the crap that we're fed in the papers, in other media or at the movies. It's MONEY pure and simple.
While budgets are being cut and everyday people are missing out in Australia, the government is shelling out over $600m on counter-terrorism that CORPORATIONS (and the governments that serve them) are responsible for CREATING, in the first place.
As it is a a consequence of intervention in foreign countries (for profit), why aren't the corporations paying for that directly instead of allowing the average man to take the hit (ie. less resources available for the citizens).
Average guy (and not the oil profiteer) will also take a hit if it comes down to troops on the ground.
Why don't governments just come out and SAY: we're going in here (or there) because we want resources and money. Why lie about it? Why make out it's something it's not?
Speaking of money, where is it?
Fortunes have been made (and empires have won over and over again) by imperialists of one kind or another. Imperialists of yesteryear and corporate imperialists of today).
But where's the money? I think people are entitled to ask. People die for these imperialist wars.
But Average Joe doesn't get a cut of the action ... and, at the end of the day, Average Joe is the one who'll take up a gun and fight the dirty oil wars.
Didn't cover as much ground as I would have liked to today. But I figure if I learn one or two new things a day, every little bit helps to gradually build the big picture.
What for? No idea. Just a challenge, I guess.
*excuse typos. *tired. #on last legs.
PS
Don't you just hate it when ppl drop out of following on
Twitter and you're left wondering "Did I say something offensive?" Of
course, it could be a drop-out for any reason: like boring feed or not
getting an expected follow-back (I'm not going crazy on the
follow-back).
