What's Really Going On In Ukraine & The Middle East?

Many would have you believe all the turmoil going on in the Middle East & Ukraine right now is over religious and political differences. Let me call it what it is.... BULLSHIT!

by Anna Nemtsova | Al Jazeera America: "The people of the Donbass, the country’s gritty industrial region in the east, were not naive. They realized that gas pipelines crossing the border with Russia and the shale gas fields near Slovyansk — with a potential reserve of about 3 trillion cubic meters of gas — were the cause of constant tension between Russia and Ukraine...

... Kiev’s plan was to set up a joint venture with Shell and drill for shale gas around Slovyansk to eventually produce 8 billion to 11 billion cubic meters of gas yearly — nearly 20 percent of what Ukrainian consumers need. (Later that year, a similar $10 billion deal was reached with Chevron for exploration in western Ukraine.)"

Nigel Wilson | International Business Times"Militants from the Islamic State have captured seven oilfields and two refineries in northern Iraq since they invaded the region in June. In a recent offensive into areas long held by Iraq's Kurds, the group seized the Ain Zalah oilfield, adding to a series of oilfields that they have taken in the oil-rich country. The militants also control a vast stretch of an oil pipeline that connects the Kirkuk oilfields to Turkish port of Ceyhan, according to Bewar Khinsi of the Kurdistan Protection agency."

August 3, 2014: by Abdelhak Mamoun | Iraq News"Mosul (IraqiNews.com) On Saturday, North Oil Company source revealed that the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant has taken control of 3 oil fields in the area of Zammar in Nineveh province, indicating that these fields produce 20,000 barrels per day while warning that the organization of ISIL will load the shipments of produced crude oil in these fields and sell them."


CommentaryThe violence in several other countries also have less to do with ideology then the plain old greedy grab for oil money.

The world’s sixteenth-largest oil producer in 2009 was Libya. As of 2010 Syria's state budget derived 25.1% of it's money from oil. More importantly Syria's location makes it ideal for future pipelines distributing oil from Iraq into Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Turkey and the loading of oil tankers along the Mediterranean Sea.

Which brings us to the latest "humanitarian" relief effort to save trapped Christians in Erbil, Iraq (the capital of the oil-endowed Kurdish Regional Government)..

Steve Coll at 'The New Yorker' had this to say . "Of course, it is President Obama’s duty to defend American lives and interests, in Erbil and elsewhere, oil or no. Rather than an evacuation of citizens, however, he has ordered a months-long aerial campaign to defend Kurdistan’s status quo, on the grounds, presumably, that it is essential to a unified Iraq capable of isolating ISIS. Yet the status quo in Kurdistan also includes oil production by international firms."

Check out this site... erbilcompanies.com. It lists dozens and dozens of oil companies headquartered there.

It's my conclusion that a whole lot of ignorant terrorist are being played for a sucker by extremely wealthy special interests. I'm not sure who all the players are, but I'm certain when they are done using these losers, they will be gotten rid of when they no longer serve a purpose. As far as a threat to the United States, I doubt it. These clowns are relying on money and stolen arms, both which will dry up when those pulling the strings no longer have a use for them. Those who's main goal is to control the oil and gas fields, not to go to war with United States after the dust settles. Where would the profit be in that?

IN CONCLUSION
Strip away the bullshit that this is about political and/or religious differences. As is the usual case, it's all about certain of the greedy and powerful making a grab for oil.. period. It's about using idiots to fight, die and kill innocent people to achieve their goals. When whoever's involved get what they want these fool terrorists (dupes) will disappear as fast as they came. It's about exploiting fears and misdirecting peoples attention from what is really going on.

This is the very reason why I strongly support alternative energy. How long must people needlessly suffer and die, the Earth be polluted and the ground beneath our feet made unstable because of this carcinogenetic gunk?

My conclusion is we may not be able to do anything directly about this, but at least we will now know what's going on for what it really is. Let each us vow to not contribute further to all this hatred in words, deeds and killing. That's about all we can do. If each and everybody did this throughout the world these puppet masters couldn't get away with this.

Not that I expect that to happen, but one can always hold out the hope that eventually people will come to their senses. Otherwise the darkness of evil will spread until it consumes us all.
