I don't think the US/NATO will intervene militarily in Syria... they got burned in Libya and there's not enough money or political capital to support a US war in Syria.

And even if there was, China/Russia wouldn't enter into the war on the side of the Syrian govt. Pissing off Iran would be the bigger problem.

Apparently the handbook is free to read online

Interesting read on the man himself...almost a conspiracy behind that!

Edit: bugger about the second link sorry.It was about his writing 1984 and the problems encountered along the way and he passed away very soon after...wish I could find that link.

ww3 is economic warfare where a superpower acts to consume excess resources and destabilize other economies by not paying for what it consumes.

It is like carpet bombing the poor of the world in a financial sense using inflation and corruption.

It is a war against the people of the world, being perpetrated by a very small number of people who have consolidated their power as a means to ensure that they both maintain it and prevent it from being acquired by others.

It is class warfare.

[botanika]

Personally i think it's vastly deeper and more primal that an economic and class war. It's primarily got to do with the middle east, its people and it's history. Tolkien had it right in lord of the rings.

[The Dude]

Some kind of magical stargates hidden in the megalithic structures of ancient civilizations? ...I'm not being facetious. I'm thinking of the Vatican libraries filled with ancient texts and artifacts, I wonder how much more was plundered in these latest liberations?

I don't think the US/NATO will intervene militarily in Syria... they got burned in Libya and there's not enough money or political capital to support a US war in Syria.

 

Nah, they burned the Libyans with 111 tomahawk missiles ("between 110 and 112") on the eve of Ostara, March 19 (same date they went to war in Iraq) as a fire sacrifice for the goddess Minerva celebrations. Out of the old blood the new empire will form.

So the "revolutionaries" in Libya installed a private central bank yet? Grass roots people power... kind of like the Northern Alliance, or the Bolshevik revolution.. all working for their peoples best interests right?...

The only reason globalist fascists are pointing the guns at them instead of us is because we've already submitted.

It's not necessarily global fascism. Research where and when the word 'fascism' truly came into 'popular' existence and why. The great superpowers of modern wars were invaded from WITHIN. Orwell's against the path 1984 mostly described post war Britain.

if you dont think there is a war planned for syria ( to use as a beachhead for an attack on iran - forcing russia and chinas hand ) maybe have a read of this article ! pretty well backed up by factual evidence and a little guesswork. It is not gospel but seems to ring true to me.

Ya dude,the Vatican there's a lot to that....underground....literally.

The dis-arming of the American public as Obama backflips on the 2nd amendment,the Irish situation atm,is anyone keeping track of what's really going on?...how "they" are now deploying the already installed and ready to engage tactics of fear,hopelessness,knee-jerk reactions,media suppression....raiding RAW FOOD SHOPS FFS?

It is as has been written "pitting man against man"

Aint no need for traditional warfare,when they have set this all up so people become wary,paranoid and the outcome is so predictable to the designers....let half the people kill each other and become separatist and better yet seed the current events with Ops and the sheep will follow.

Same fucking result....bloodshed and less people in the resistance.

Here's some really top notch media disinfo:

 

 

A mate came around today smashed as and reckoned if he had it his way, he'd have a Police state in order and be mowing down these rioters! and I'm like WTF?are you part of the Human race or what?....well yeah he lives in a fantasy world building Fake farms on Farcebook,smoking Fake Cannabis, plays war games,watching dodgey Fake news reports on the mainstream and fucking believes it!

I want my afternoon with my girls back!!!!

Take note in the above London vid and check out the FTSE AND what the hell is a Cobra meeting?

Is he the same breed or fodder?

WW111is a war on rights and personal choice and it hasn't only just started,it's been slowly gaining momentum and as such been accepted piece by piece and going on for a long time,actually WWII never really "ended" IMO it just changed hands and tactics.

It's only now that "they" are panicking as time and consciousness compresses that big things are going down on an hourly basis...not all is being shown and it's up to us to understand this and reject the petty bickering infiltrating into our smaller circles.

Only then will they lose momentum.

Don't get me wrong, I think peace can ONLY be achieved by peace,it's like putting out a fire with gerry cans at the moment and fear is our REAL enemy.

The only thing that should be burned is your personal TV set as for now you have the choice.

If it's digital and cool and widescreen,good on ya!....it's also a 2-way,now that's why the real revolution won't be broadcast.

I mean when it's this easy and cheap to do this:

 

 

and here's the kit, then what have the Rich Media Corporate high rollers got?

Raid on Rawesome

The warrant gave permission to “search all rooms, attics, refrigerators, freezers… purses, wallets, briefcases and vehicles of both James Stewart (Rawesome Foods) and Sharon Palmer (Healthy Family Farms).

Furthermore, the warrant gave permission to seize:

all computer files: data, audio, and video; evidence of “interstate transportation” (opening the door for federal felonies),

all membership agreements of their current customers (which would open the door for scare tactics and attempts at implicating the food store owners),

all documents concerning the Right to Choose Healthy Foods organization, an advocacy group for food freedom at www.RawMilk.org,

all tax records (in hopes of finding some tax error and charging with felony tax fraud),

all real estate transactions, billing records, purchasing records and club records,

all emails, receipts, cash register data, credit cards receipts, inventory records,

all computers and electronic devices (government agents stole both Dell and Apple computers from Rawesome),

all address books, client address lists, telephone numbers and contacts.

Isn't it now abundantly clear that they don't give a fuck about us?

Tensions Between U.S., Israeli, British and Iranian Warships

The U.S. and Israel are conducting their largest-ever joint warfare exercises near Iran. And see this.

England is sending its most advanced ship – the HMS Daring – to the region.

Only days after finishing its last wargames in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran has announced another set of wargames in February.

What Could Go Wrong?

Looking behind the headlines:

• The people pushing for war against Iran are the same neocons who pushed for war against Iraq. See this,
  and this.
  

 

• China and Russia have warned that attacking Iran could lead to World War III.
  

 

• The sinking of the USS Maine, the Gulf of Tonkin incident, and other justifications for past wars have turned out to be false.
  

 

• A number of high-level intelligence officials and politicians have said that the U.S. would fake a provocation and blame it on Iran as a casus belli.
  

 

• War against Iran was planned at least 20 years ago.
  

 

• The U.S. has been claiming for more than 30 years that Iran was on the verge of nuclear capability (and the U.S. apparently helped fund the Iranian nuclear program.)
  

 

• Endless war is bankrupting America and harming our national security.
  

 

• The war against Iran has already begun. See this and this.
  

 

What could possibly go wrong?

i think the iran situation is the reason why america is pushing so heavily for the tar sands pipeline to go ahead, sure it has to do with money, but security of their oil supply is paraount in the lead up to a conflict with iran. i just finished watching the republican debate, and they pretty much said straight out that america needs to secure oil (they called it energy but we all know what they mean), on their own land so as not to be held ransom to foreign powers. war with iran is coming, no sure if it's wise to go into such a thing in an election year, thats why i say next year.

[qualia]

i also heard it said that any conflict with iran america will look to it's allies for support, which means australia naturally, but i also heard china mentioned. considering the agressive rhetoric delivered about china in the last weeks not sure if that support will be so forthcoming. i watched this interesting vid yesterday,

Baghdad, Iraq - While the US military has formally ended its occupation of Iraq, some of the largest western oil companies, ExxonMobil, BP and Shell, remain.

On November 27, 38 months after Royal Dutch Shell announced its pursuit of a massive gas deal in southern Iraq, the oil giant had its contract signed for a $17bn flared gas deal.

Three days later, the US-based energy firm Emerson submitted a bid for a contract to operate at Iraq's giant Zubair oil field, which reportedly holds some eight million barrels of oil.

Earlier this year, Emerson was awarded a contract to provide crude oil metering systems and other technology for a new oil terminal in Basra, currently under construction in the Persian Gulf, and the company is installing control systems in the power stations in Hilla and Kerbala.

Iraq's supergiant Rumaila oil field is already being developed by BP, and the other supergiant reserve, Majnoon oil field, is being developed by Royal Dutch Shell. Both fields are in southern Iraq.

According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), Iraq's oil reserves of 112 billion barrels ranks second in the world, only behind Saudi Arabia. The EIA also estimates that up to 90 per cent of the country remains unexplored, due to decades of US-led wars and economic sanctions.

"Prior to the 2003 invasion and occupation of Iraq, US and other western oil companies were all but completely shut out of Iraq's oil market," oil industry analyst Antonia Juhasz told Al Jazeera. "But thanks to the invasion and occupation, the companies are now back inside Iraq and producing oil there for the first time since being forced out of the country in 1973."

Juhasz, author of the books The Tyranny of Oil and The Bush Agenda, said that while US and other western oil companies have not yet received all they had hoped the US-led invasion of Iraq would bring them, "They've certainly done quite well for themselves, landing production contracts for some of the world's largest remaining oil fields under some of the world's most lucrative terms."

Dr Abdulhay Yahya Zalloum, an international oil consultant and economist who has spent nearly 50 years in the oil business in the US, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, agrees that western oil companies have "obtained concessions in Iraq's major [oil] fields", despite "there being a lack of transparency and clarity of vision regarding the legal issues".

Dr Zalloum added that he believes western oil companies have successfully acquired the lions' share of Iraq's oil, "but they gave a little piece of the cake for China and some of the other countries and companies to keep them silent".

In a speech at Fort Bragg in the wake of the US military withdrawal, US President Barack Obama said the US was leaving behind "a sovereign, stable and self-reliant Iraq, with a representative government that was elected by its people".

Of this prospect, Dr Zalloum was blunt.

"The last thing the US cares about in the Middle East is democracy. It is about oil, full stop."

A strong partnership?

A White House press release dated November 30 titled, "Joint Statement by the United States of America and the Republic of Iraq Higher Coordinating Committee", said this about "energy co-operation" between the two countries:

"The United States is committed to supporting the Republic of Iraq in its efforts to develop the energy sector. Together, we are exploring ways to help boost Iraq's oil production, including through better protection for critical infrastructure."

Iraq is one of the largest oil exporters to the US, and has plans to raise its overall crude oil exports to 3.3m barrels per day (bpd) next year, compared with their target of 3m bpd this year, according to Assim Jihad, spokesman for Iraq's ministry of oil.

Jihad told Al Jazeera that Iraq has a goal of raising its oil production capacity to 12m bpd by 2017, which would place it in the top echelon of global producers.

According to Jihad, Iraq's 2013 production goal is 4.5m bpd, and in 2014 it is 5m bpd. The 2017 goal is ambitious, given that Iraq did not meet its 2011 goal, and many officials say 8m bpd capacity is more realistic for 2017.

Unexplored regions of Iraq could yield an additional 100bn barrels, and Iraq's production costs are among the lowest in the world.

To date, only about 2,000 wells have been drilled in Iraq, compared with roughly one million wells in Texas alone.

Globally, current oil usage is approximately 88m bpd. By 2030, global petroleum demand will grow by 27m bpd, and many energy experts see Iraq as being a key player in meeting this demand.

It is widely understood that Iraq will require at least $200bn in physical and human investments to bring its production capacity up to 12m bpd, from its current production levels.

Juhasz explained that ExxonMobil, BP and Shell were among the oil companies that "played the most aggressive roles in lobbying their governments to ensure that the invasion would result in an Iraq open to foreign oil companies".

 

 

Iraq's oil reserves may be second only to Saudi Arabia's [EPA]

 

 

"They succeeded," she added. "They are all back in. BP and CNPC [China National Petroleum Corporation] finalised the first new oil contract issued by Baghdad for the largest oil field in the country, the 17 billion barrel super giant Rumaila field. ExxonMobil, with junior partner Royal Dutch Shell, won a bidding war against Russia's Lukoil (and junior partner ConocoPhillips) for the 8.7 billion barrel West Qurna Phase 1 project. Italy's Eni SpA, with California's Occidental Petroleum and the Korea Gas Corp, was awarded Iraq's Zubair oil field with estimated reserves of 4.4 billion barrels. Shell was the lead partner with Malaysia's Petroliam Nasional Bhd., or Petronas, winning a contract for the super-giant Majnoon field, one of the largest in the world, with estimated reserves of up to 25 billion."

Zalloum says there is a two-fold interest for the western oil companies.

"There is development of the existing fields, but also for the explored but not-yet-produced fields," he said. "For the old fields, there are two types of development. One is to renovate the infrastructure, since for most of the past 25 years it has depreciated due to the sanctions and turmoil. Also, some of these fields have different stratum, so once they use innovative techniques like horizontal drilling, there is a huge potential in the fields they have explored."

But there are complicating factors. As a spasm of violence wracked Baghdad in the wake of the US military withdrawal and political rifts widen, Iraq's instability is evident.

"Iraq has lots of cheap-to-get oil, but it also has a multitude of problems - political, ethnic, tribal, religious etc - that have prevented them from exploiting it as well or as quickly as the Saudis," says Tom Whipple, an energy scholar who was a CIA analyst for 30 years. "Someday it may turn out that Iraq has more oil underground than Saudi Arabia. The big question is how stable it will be after the US leaves? So far it is not looking all that good."

Jihad, Iraq's ministry of oil spokesman, however, said attacks against Iraq's oil pipelines have minimal effect on production capabilities, and claimed "sabotage will not affect our oil production and exports because we can fix these damages within days, or even hours".

Whipple, a fellow at the Post-Carbon Institute, says Baghdad had driven a hard bargain with western oil companies.

"The only reason they are participating is because everybody else is and they hope to get a foot in the door in case some new government in Iraq changes its policies to let other outsiders make more money. Remember it is not all the traditional western oil companies that are in there; the Chinese, Russians and Singapore all want a piece of the action."

Wrong idea?

Spokesman Jihad told Al Jazeera that the reason many Iraqis think western oil companies are operating in Iraq is simply to steal Iraq's oil.

"These ideas were obtained during the regime of deposed dictator Saddam Hussein, and these are the wrong ideas," he said. "The future will help Iraqis understand these companies have come to work here to help Iraq sell its oil to help the people, and they work to serve the country."

Jihad admitted that his media office works "to help Iraqis understand the nature of the work of these companies and their investing in Iraq".

Despite the efforts of Jihad's office to prove otherwise, Iraqis Al Jazeera spoke with disagree. "If Iraq had no oil, would America have sacrificed thousands of its soldiers and hundreds of billion Basim al-Khalili

"Only a naïve child could believe the Americans came here for something besides our oil," Ahmed Ali, an unemployed engineer, told Al Jazeera. "Nor can we believe their being here has anything to do with helping the Iraqi people."

Basim al-Khalili, a restaurant owner in Baghdad's Karada district, agrees.

"If Iraq had no oil, would America have sacrificed thousands of its soldiers and hundreds of billions of dollars to come here?"

Oil analyst Juhasz also agrees.

"The US and other western oil companies and their governments had been lobbying for passage of a new national law in Iraq, the Iraq Oil Law, which would move Iraq from a nationalised to a largely privatised oil market using Production Sharing Agreements (PSAs), a type of contract model used in just approximately 12 per cent of the world's oil market."

She explained that this agreement has been summarily rejected by most countries, including all of Iraq's neighbours, "because it provides far more benefits to the foreign corporation than to the domestic government".

But it has not been an easy road for the western oil companies in Iraq.

"Major western companies, such as Chevron and ConocoPhillips, that had hoped to sign contracts were unable to do so. A third round [of contracts] took place in December 2010 and saw no major western oil companies (except Shell) win contracts. I believe that there was an Iraqi backlash against the awarding of contracts to the large western major oil companies. Thus, in December 2010, fields went to Russian oil companies Lukoil and Gazprom, Norway's Statoil, and the Angolan company Sonangol, among others."

Unlike under Iraq's Oil Law, these contracts do not need to go through parliament, according to the central government. This means the contracts are being signed without public discourse.

Iraq's oil future "The public is against privatisation, which is one reason why the law has not passed," added Juhasz. "The contracts are enacting a form of privatisation without public discourse and essentially at the butt of a gun - these contracts have all been awarded during a foreign military occupation with the largest contracts going to companies from the foreign occupiers' countries. It seems that democracy and equity are the two largest losers in this oil battle."

Under the current circumstances, the possibility of a withdrawal of western oil companies from Iraq appears remote, and the Obama administration continues to pressure Baghdad to pass the Iraq Oil Law.

Nevertheless, resistance to the western presence continues.

"The bottom line is that it seems clear that the majority of Iraqis want their oil and its operations to remain in Iraqi hands," said Juhasz. "Thus far, it has required a massive foreign military invasion and occupation to grant the foreign oil companies the access they have thus far garnered."

While Iraq's security remains as volatile as ever, as does the political landscape - which can change dramatically at any moment - there is one thing we can always count on as being at the heart of these conflicts, and that is Iraq's oil.

After the fall of communism in Russia, people had to rewrite the history books used in schools with which the stalinist glorification indoctrination agenda,.... the teachers who were pro stalin and communism believed the lies so much that it was very difficult for them to learn about the truth. (for many people the truth was hard to swallow)

So what I am saying,.. what do we prefer,... the pleasant lie or the brutal truth.

Btw,... I think that should the shit hit the fan,.. and should you want to survive the shit storm you have to hope that good guys are the most powerful guys. In the end it's just evolution at work.... so I am at peace with whatever happens.

2012 shitstorm???? we'll see,..... maybe it will be a much more gradual decline of the high point of our modern world,.... I am sure there will be many rough patches up ahead. from ecological, economical, wars, climate stuff.

I am really hoping some big countries will start making some real headway with doing the right things.

On the island where I live,... we've been installing wind turbines and have lowered import tax on hybrid & electrical vehicels. The energy market has been opend up a bit. Now we are allowed to produce our own energy at home with solar panels,.. but they are too expensive for most and now subsidized buying yet. Small steps, but in the right direction.

I'm an optimist (hehe) most of the time.
