Is the big picture coming into focus?
Edited on Sun May-02-04 12:43 PM by burythehatchet
The central word is privatization.

The partnership formed long ago between the corrupt elements of previous administrations (who have had significant roles in previou scandals), and Likudniks who are embedded in the permanent government.

The plan to take Iraq has always been clearly outlined in the PNAC playbook.

Here's the part that is about to be exposed; it is the critical piece that links everything together. The Cheney Energy Task Force. It is the nexus of the personal financial interests that drew up the business plan. One of the central elements is the privatization of the US Armed Forces. You see, the enlisted men and women are fodder. Its the private forces, the Halliburton forces that reflect the privatization of the armed forces. These people earn over 100K a year. Now you can see why the war is costing so much. But they MAY now be exposed because of the torture scandal. Wolfie and his henchmen knew perfectly well all about the conditions in that prison.

The oil interests are giddy because they now will have unlimited access to the world's second largest known reserve.

Israel will benefit from the cheap oil and the emasculation of the Arab people.

The arms sector will enriched beyond imagination.

Now follow the money:

Intel - Halliburton

Oil - BFEE and Friends

Arms - Poppy, Baker, and affiliated interests

This busines plan, which has been executed to perfection, is laid out in the Energy Task Force metings.

1. But the Energy Task Force meetings will not be made public
Scalia is in on the money grab. It is not possible he will let Cheney be exposed.

2. Don't matter
I think it might be likely that enough members of the Court, based on several factors, will tell Fat Tony to kindly shove it.

3. That's right
this corruption machine runs like a Swiss watch. Look at how the election theft happened - first was the voter roll purge. When that wasn't enough, they sent rioters to try to stop the recount. That STILL wasn't enough, so they called in the corrupt scotus, who finally just gave the election to Smirk.

Now they have Ted Olson of the Arkansas project arguing on behalf of Cheney in front of the same corrupt scotus. No way does the average American find out who wrote the energy bill. And with Rush & the rest of them telling them that they SHOULDN'T know, everyone is happy.

4. Pretty soon, some brave official will convince the country that it is in
our NATIONAL INTEREST to see the notes.

5. There are no national borders or laws which will constrain these interests
If they want to do something somewhere and the locals who think they are the soverign government don't agree to their terms, (think UNOCAL pipeline for starters) The corporations make calls to the 'US government' officals they have bought and paid for and suddenly it becomes essential 'for our national intrest/protection/yada yada' to do such and such.

There are no national borders. There are no laws. There is only greed and those who serve it.

6. Not only are our volunteer troops 'fodder' but so are the dittoheads who
tune into Rush and the likes of Hannity everyday. Their brains are fried with innuendo, misrepresentations, lies, hype. They, too, are 'fodder' for the PNACers. It's so sad. We are fighting many enemies.
