Iraq - reasons ?

OIL, OIL, OIL

The global business conglomerate (Carlyle Group ?) controlling Bush know that civilisation is closer to catastrophe than they dare admit openly. We are at (+/- 3-years) the nadir of oil production / use – we use it up at a faster rate than we find new reserves (just ignore the latest word on reserves from the Saudis - all bollox).

In spite of knowing for many years that this point would be reached early in the 21st century, politicians and governments have achieved virtually nothing towards reducing dependency on oil. Alternative energy research has been pathetically small-scale and actively suppressed by the oil lobbyists.

Their big-business backers (oil, utilities, arms and chemical companies) have all adopted positions to maximize short-term profits, and this has determined government policies. Hence the rate of usage of oil continues to increase and therefore the point when shortages become apparent to all draws rapidly closer.

For many years now the USA hawk politicians have pursued policies to ensure massive military superiority, and used this to build towards strategic control of ALL known oil reserves on the planet.

All foreign policies are geared towards eventual control of dwindling oil reserves – Iraq is just the latest high-profile action to this end. Sabre rattling at Syria, Iran and North Korea, as well as the close relationship with Saudi Arabia, are all designed as pre-emptive strikes to ensure that eventually ONLY the USA has control of ALL oil reserves.

The USA is determined that they will be the longest survivors of this, relatively quick, death of civilisation. Our Tony Blair knows all this too, but cannot publish the information to excuse his pact with George Bush over the invasion of Iraq and other issues. He is also providing the conveniently friendly link with Putin to ensure access to the Eastern-bloc oil & gas..

As oil becomes scarce among the other nations, the effects of intermittent electricity, clean water and food supplies will lead to breakdown of civilised society in an scarily short time. Clean water is already in short supply – lack of treatment of drinking water and effluent will accelerate the shortage. Distribution of fresh foods will be hit very quickly. In the West, most are delivered ‘just-in-time’ from afar, and this system will start to break down almost as soon as fuel shortages hit.

If you accept this ‘doomsday scenario’ then you cannot blame Blair for his stance. Who would you rather be close to – the overwhelming military might of the USA or the squabbling weenies of the EU ? Man’s nature is to fight to survive as long as possible. Let’s just hope that the good ole’ US of A does actually stick by its ally and shares the oil as long as possible – then again, from past experience, any assistance is unlikely to be more than ‘crumbs fallen from the rich-man’s table’.
