Ask yourself why coalition troops are kicking down doors, arresting, torturing, shooting & killing...?
How can this kind of action ever hope to bring about a democracy made by and for the Iraqi people...?
How can the armed forces not have learned from the lessons of the Vietnam quagmire and, more recently, Russias similar actions in Chechnya?
The Military is a small cog within a system of mind control, which manipulates extreme emotions [usually nationalism]. It conditions it's operants into believing violence is peace if it defends freedom.
After WWII, an iron curtain was drawn through Europe.
'Freedom' became a label for 'western values' as opposed to 'Communism as slavery'.
It became defined by Hollywood, Coca Cola, Levis jeans, fast food, rock & roll.
Uber-Corporate-cultural products became a tool to name a 'brand' of society as freedom.

Every state took a side...it was labelled the Cold war
'Peace', 'freedom'...'terror' - are STILL all being used as political constructs - mind control devices used to control the majority. Propaganda via a compliant Corporate news media & Psyops / infiltration / misinformation via alternative News culture
Every state was made to take a side...
It was labelled 'The Global War on Terror'
America and its allies have been given the role of being Jackbooted thugs. They have a huge arsenal. A miltary-industrial complex, the likes of which have previously never been witnessed.
It is Built upon the taxes gained from the hopes and aspirations of a slave nation.
From a corporate entertainment complex...
From a fake space race...
From a disease industry...
...and...from the laundered profits from secret trafficking of drugs and labour.
Every other country now seeks to play the game, citing economic national interests in their own versions of GWOT.
The same methods of control are being exercised on their populations.
[see: Russia... example of state mind control here]
They have the same elite corporate backers that are pushing for post cold war cosmetic democracy.
This is a MOST DANGEROUS GAME.

segment from Tom Brokaw's last broadcast on NBC:
Reporter: "So far the plan is for most of the city's 250,000 residents to return in stages and first only a few thousand will be let in.
They'll be fingerprinted, given a retina scan and then an ID card, which will only allow them to travel around their homes or to nearby aid centers which are now being built.
The Marines will be authorized to use deadly force against those breaking the rules....

Returning Fallujans will face clampdown
Under the plans, troops would funnel Fallujans to so-called citizen processing centers on the outskirts of the city to compile a database of their identities through DNA testing and retina scans. Residents would receive badges displaying their home addresses that they must wear at all times. Buses would ferry them into the city, where cars, the deadliest tool of suicide bombers, would be banned.

One idea that has stirred debate among Marine officers would require all men to work, for pay, in military-style battalions. Depending on their skills, they would be assigned jobs in construction, waterworks, or rubble-clearing platoons.

Question: Are The USA in Iraq to get OIL?
The screenshot below is taken from a RAND report entitled OIL shale development in the Uniited States - Prospects & Policy Issues - it was prepared for the National Energy Technology Laboratory at the Dept of Energy in 2005
so according to RAND - 800 billion barrels = 400 years oil supply

Raytheon process allows oil shale for sale
By Jay Fitzgerald Boston Herald General Economics Reporter - Tuesday, May 9, 2006
Raytheon Co. and CF Technologies think they've developed a breakthrough technology that could help ease the nation's energy supply woes.
The Waltham-based Raytheon and Hyde Park-based CF said yesterday they've jointly come up with a new process that would allow companies to tap into huge underground U.S. shale reserves that can be turned into oil.
The technology entails transmitting radio frequencies into the ground, heating up hydrocarbons in shale and then injecting them with critical fluids that force oil toward wells. The process is cheaper and more efficient than current technologies used to extract oil from shale, Raytheon said. With oil prices now hovering near historic highs, the technology could help make shale extraction more economically viable for oil companies.
There is an estimated 2 trillion barrels of oil in the nation's shale reserves, located mostly in the Rocky Mountain region. Canada also has huge reserves of tar sand, which Raytheon believes its technology could extract oil from as well.
Raytheon said the technology was an offshoot of prior work with CF in defense-related projects.
"We took a (weapons) systems approach to the energy problem," said John Cogliandro, Raytheon's head engineer on the shale project.
Terri Campbell, a portfolio manager specializing in energy at Boston's Eastern Bank, said recent price spikes in crude oil have made shale a more affordable investment for the oil industry. She said extracting oil from shale or sand tar wouldn't solve the long-term energy crisis. But it would help delay the depletion of oil resources across the globe, she said.

2 trillion barrels of oil shale in the Rocky Mountain regions of Canada + the 1 trillion barrels in The Great River formation in the USA...
In the American system
one billion is 1,000,000,000
a trillion is 1,000,000,000,000
so one trillion is one thousand times one billion.
800 billion = 400 years potential supply
1 billion barrels = 50 years
1000 billion [trillion] = 50,000 years
3 trillion barrels = 150,000 years of supply!
so why are the US & coalition forces in the Middle East?
the aim is to CONTROL potential reserves of future adverseries...in their quest for Total Global domination of the planet - and the rush is on between a gung-ho USA, an increasingly powerful China, and the state-energy monopoly of Russia, which has responded to the Coalitions adventure in Iraq with it's own energy bribery mechanism upon Colour coded revolution states in the nearby Caspian region...
The attacks on 9-11-01 couldn't have come at a better time for certain sinister elements within all nation states. If Al Qaeda wanted to strike a blow to the USA's western imperialism then it failed miserably: In fact the attacks proved very useful: That is why one has to question the hasty identitifacation by the Bush administration of the purpertrators as being Al-Queda...
Was 911 an inside job?
Was it done by agent provocatuers,
or was it a miltary operation by rogue elements within the Bush nexus?
Are Al Qaeda a US intelligence asset?
Do they exist at all?
911 was used by the Bush administration to justify massive ariel bombardment and invasion of the Geo-strategically important Afghanistan / Caspian Basin / Iraq...
These areas are in turn made into Hot spots which are useful in stimulating more terrorism in the theatre & on 'homeland' soil , this time, a real reaction by real militants as a backlash. to the warcrimes being committed ..this is why low-level grunts such as Lindsey England, gave testimony stating that she was told to abuse pisoners as a 'staged' psychological operation in Abu Ghriab, [also see Guantanamo Bay and the 'rendition program' which supplies it's shackled and abused prisoners via a system of not so secret hooded kidnappings] - and why Donald Rumsfeld put into service, the P2OG , a para-military unit whose purpose was to stage attacks supposedly to flush out 'terrorists'...

The London terrorist bombings are likely to temporarily strengthen President Bush's hand politically at a critical juncture when public support for the war in Iraq has eroded, but the attacks raise difficult questions over whether that war has made the United States more or less vulnerable to terrorism, analysts said.
"There may not have been a linkage between Iraq and al Qaeda, but al Qaeda has clearly made that linkage, and we've been sucked into what I think is a common war," said Timothy Lomperis, a former military intelligence officer now at St. Louis University. 'There is a fusion occurring in what many Americans see as separate-al Qaeda is married to the war in Iraq and it is becoming increasingly one big war."
|
|
"Something like this reminds people, 'OK, there really is something to worry about out there,' " said Walter Russell Mead, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. "At the same time, it didn't happen here."
"To some extent, the linkage of terror with the Iraq war becomes a self- fulfilling prophecy," said Charles Kupchan, a National Security Administration official under President Bill Clinton. "I think that in the public mind, the attacks will make it easier for Bush to reclaim a certain amount of public support for war in Iraq," Kupchan said. "His ability to link the Iraq war to al Qaeda has proved to be inconsistent with the facts," but "an attack on London will be seen as an attack on the West, requiring that the United States take the offense. And for many that will mean staying the course in Iraq." - sfgate.com

The resultant backlash is of political importance because any terrorist incident will in turn allow highly dangerous & unscrupulous politicians and their paymasters to justify more sweeping powers:
By Kevin Anderson - BBC News Online in Las Vegas
In the late 1990s, AC Technology had a system to match composite sketches to mugshots. The problem was that "there was really no cash in that cash drawer," said Gregg Gerlach, the company's CTO. Law enforcement agencies simply didn't have the money to buy the system.
But, he said, that all that changed following the 11 September attacks.
The company has adapted its face recognition technology and is one of many companies at the Comdex trade show in Las Vegas marketing their systems for the use in the US government's homeland security initiatives.
Governments open coffers
Business spending - especially on technology - is down.
Companies have slashed costs and are delaying upgrading computers and software until absolutely necessary.
But defence and security spending is up, and both the US and UK governments are exploring face recognition and other biometric technologies to enhance security.
Biometrics uses physical traits such as fingerprints, facial features, or patterns in the iris or retina of the eye to positively identify a person.
Biometrics stocks have risen 130% since 11 September 2001
The UK Home Office is working on a programme to speed entry at airports by visitors from other countries by using biometrics. And the US has mandated that by 2004 foreign visitors will have to carry travel documents with biometric identifiers such as fingerprints.
Biometric scans are being used to provide greater security at airports, nuclear power plants or sensitive government or military facilities.
Access to the offices of US Vice President Dick Cheney is restricted using iris-recognition technology.
It is a nascent industry, worth between $240m to $400m, according to Brian Ruttenbur, senior vice president and equity research analyst with Morgan Keegan & Company. But stocks in biometric companies have risen 130% after the 11 September attacks, he said.
Focus on security
AC Technology is just one of a growing number of companies in the biometric industry. Mr Ruttenbur estimates that there between 250 and 400 companies involved in biometrics. The technology has a strong presence at the Comdex trade fair, taking place this week in Las Vegas. Biometrics companies have their own special section on the floor of the show. And the UK@Comdex booth is highlighting pattern recognition technology developed at the University of York used in face recognition systems as well as the pioneering work of John Daugman, who invented the mathematical algorithms used in all iris-recognition systems.
Companies are building it into all kinds of devices.
The industry is experiencing an initial flowering
HP introduced a high-end handheld computer with fingerprint-based security built in, and one company is selling a tiny flash memory device with a fingerprint-based lock. SAFLINK has a large booth at Comdex demonstrating a wide range of biometric security devices. On one computer, a user must scan their fingerprint to log on. Users don't have to remember a password. But if they step away from their terminal, a proximity sensor is triggered and automatically logs users off, forcing them to rescan their fingerprint to log on again.
No profits, just pilots
However, while governments are rushing to implement the systems, most of the programmes are still in the pilot phase. EyeTicket's iris-recognition system was tested recently at Heathrow to speed frequent travellers from North America through immigration.
But the company's CEO, Stewart Mann said, "I don't know a single [biometrics] company that is making money yet."
However, companies expect the money to start flowing soon. The recent elections in the US in which Republicans gained control of both houses of Congress will help speed the process, said Glenn Argenbright, president and CEO of SAFLINK. And on Tuesday the newly reconstituted Senate approved President Bush's plan to create a Department of Homeland Security by a vote of 90-9.
But Mr Ruttenbur expects a dramatic consolidation in the industry. Companies that have early wins on key contracts will survive, but Mr Ruttenbur predicts that of the several hundred biometric companies, only about 50 will remain in five years. - BBC

Head of visitor tracking program wants global ID system
By Jonathan Marino - govexec.com
The head of the Homeland Security Department's visitor tracking program on Tuesday called for the creation of a "global ID management system" to make travel easier while enhancing security.
Jim Williams, director of the US VISIT program within DHS, told attendees of the National Business Travel Association's annual meeting he is aware of the plight of the business traveler. Even he, despite his senior position in the department, once found himself temporarily unable to board a plane because he shared the name of an individual on a terrorist watch list, he said.
Williams said he wants to join forces with several DHS agencies to develop a global identification system that would cut wait times, reduce government fees for travelers, fight illegal immigration and, perhaps paramount, better defend nations from terrorists.
The US VISIT chief, who already oversees identity inquiries for nearly every visitor who enters the United States, said a worldwide identification system will better link nations in the fight against terrorism. In his speech, he likened al Qaeda operatives and sleeper cells - including the ones that attacked on 9/11 - to "submarines" that must surface to kill.
"In order for them to do what they want to do, they have to travel," Williams said.
He did not specify when, or how, the proposed global program would be implemented.
Williams suggested that a biometrics identification system might be used to better track travelers to the United States. A similar program is being tested in Great Britain, where such physical characteristics as fingerprints or iris scans are being tied to national identification cards. Proponents say it can cut the odds of success for immigration fraud.
Any program that can successfully ease both financial burdens and wait times for travelers will be welcomed with open arms, said Hank Roeder, vice president of global operations for the National Business Travel Association.
In his speech, Williams said an American version of the global ID plan would likely require the cooperation of US VISIT, the Customs and Border Protection bureau, the Transportation Safety Administration and U.S. Customs and Immigration Services, all under the DHS umbrella.
A TSA official declined to comment, saying the agency has no knowledge of the proposed plan. CBP and CIS could not be reached for comment.

TERROR is an industry force multiplier for a trillion dollar global enterprise
i would posit that:
the rising cost of energy is index linked to a 'terror' force multiplier
instability around the globe is leading to knee jerk reactions from OPEC
and that a corporate cartel is playing the entire planet like a rigged poker game -
those who own the means for production [infrastructure] can name their price in the market
it is a cartel based infrastructure
it is yet another focus on the spurious notion of 'synthetic fuels' or 'alternative energy'
which presupposes that OIL/Carbon based energy is the only 'real' fuel source
synthetic fuel was useful to the fascist Oil/chemical magnates
before WWII
thousands of years ago the Sumerians [interestingly now Iraq!] were using pots
as batteries/lights utilising the acidic soil and copper for electrolysis
The Baghdad Battery
The first evidence of batteries comes from archaeological digs in Baghdad, Iraq. This first "battery" was dated to around 250 B.C. and was used in simple operations to electroplate objects with a thin layer of metal, much like the process used now to plate inexpensive gold and silver jewelry. One of the first uses for batteries. Batteries were re-discovered much later by a man named Alessandro Volta after which the unit of electrical potential was named, the volt. The jar was found in Khujut Rabu just outside Baghdad and is composed of a clay jar with a stopper made of asphalt. Sticking through the asphalt is an iron rod surrounded by a copper cylinder. When filled with vinegar - or any other electrolytic solution - the jar produces about 1.1 volts.

A cartel is a group of legally independent producers whose goal it is to fix prices, to limit supply and to limit competition. Cartels are prohibited by antitrust laws in most countries; however, they continue to exist nationally and internationally, formally and informally.
WIKIPEDIA
|
OPEC is a cartel-a group of producers that attempts to restrict output in order to keep prices higher than the competitive level. The heart of OPEC is the Conference, which comprises national delegations, usually at the level of oil minister. The Conference meets twice each year to assign output quotas, which are upper limits on the amount of oil each member is allowed to produce. The Conference may also meet in special sessions when deemed necessary, particularly when downward pressure on prices becomes acute.
OPEC faces the classic problem of all cartels: overproduction and cheating by members. At the higher cartel price, less oil is demanded. That is why OPEC assigns output quotas. Each member of the OPEC cartel has an incentive to produce more than its quota and "shave" (cut) this price because the cost of producing an additional barrel of crude is typically well below the cartel price. The methods available to shave official OPEC prices are numerous. Credit can be extended to buyers for periods longer than the standard thirty days. Higher grades (or blends) of oil can be sold for prices applicable to lower grades. Transportation credits can be given. Buyers can be offered side payments or rebates.
This tendency for individual producers to cheat on the cartel agreement is a long-standing feature of OPEC behavior. Individual producers usually have exceeded their production quotas, and so official prices have been unstable. But OPEC is an unusual cartel in that one producer-Saudi Arabia-is much larger than the others. That is why the Saudis are the "swing" producer. When prices start downward, they cut their production to keep prices up. One reason the Saudis have behaved that way is that departures from the official prices impose larger total losses on them than on other OPEC members in the short run. Because other producers have huge incentives to produce in excess of their quotas, the Saudis, in order to defend the official OPEC price, have had to reduce their sales dramatically at times. This erosion of Saudi production and sales has tended to reduce their revenues and profits substantially. In 1983 and 1984, for example, the Saudis found themselves producing only about 3.5 million barrels per day, despite their (then) production capacity almost three times that level.

now do those US / UK / Saudi links make sense!!!
Opec is just a constituent part of a much bigger global cartel
another is the USA's military-industrial complex
as are Multinational Corporations,
Du pont...Exxon...Chevron [former Standard Oil seven sisters companies]
BASF...Bayer...Agfa [formerly IG Farben - note: in 1967, Monsanto entered into a joint venture with IG Farben.

The game is chess

"If September 11 is the forerunner of a new world conflict, coping with the conflict could bring a new constitutional order in its wake. In the 21st century, what might be called market states could replace nation-states. Market states will have the same borders and political systems as nation-states but will shift important responsibilities from government to the private sector; multinational corporations will become surrogate agents of government, filling roles that government can no longer play and blurring the boundaries between political and corporate leadership.... "
Philip Bobbitt [He is a lawyer--professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Texas Law School in Austin , fellow at King's College, London, in the War Studies Department, counselor on international law at the Department of State, the director of intelligence, senior director for critical infrastructure and senior director for strategic planning at the National Security Council (under Clinton). ] - source

'National security' has become the excuse for Fascism.
The plan is for a global corporatist state...built on the ruins of a false quest - the 'war against terror' - the instigation of a league of nation states which are really 'managed democracies'.
This plan requires complicity. There are hidden players in ALL countries, awaiting a paycheck from the Corporate ELITE. Not only is war a profitable business. It allows the rebuilding and re-shaping of countries.
The introduction of uber-capitalism
which seeks to control the population via it's access to resources. [Energy, Food, Water, Employment, Travel, Health, Leisure & Entertainment.] This control manifests itself via anti-terror laws and the Orwellian technology which it seeks to justify, which is yet another big earner for the corporate elite...
every time Al Qaeda attack a major city...killing innocent people - they help Politicians & their corporate paymasters build a prison of planetary proportions, which seeks to control your access to society via your obedience to it.
That's funny work for a fundamentalist Islamic group which wants to see the end of a civilisation riddled with such wanton perversions & consumerism!

What causes people to kill and die for a 'cause'?
The principal stated aims of al-Qaeda are to drive Americans and American influence out of all Muslim nations, especially Saudi Arabia; destroy Israel; and topple pro-Western dictatorships around the Middle East. Bin Laden has also said that he wishes to unite all Muslims and establish, by force if necessary, an Islamic nation adhering to the rule of the first Caliphs. According to bin Laden's 1998 fatwa (religious decree), it is the duty of Muslims around the world to wage holy war on the U.S., American citizens, and Jews. Muslims who do not heed this call are declared apostates (people who have forsaken their faith). - - source
