There’s no intimacy with these families… nooo…

I’ve been reading a few MSM reports on the descussions between the US President George W. Bush and the Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz at his Texas ranch. This photo shot sums up the tight relationship between the two. I wonder if Bush was always this chummy or just given the fact that he has control over Iraq oil, he feels he’s got a little more say in this matter.

This is a President whose response to record oil prices consists of repeating the mantra “Tell Congress to pass my energy bill” year after year, shameful photos like this get taken. Never is democratic reform for Saudi Arabia mentioned in these reports or within his discussions with the House of Saud. We continue to lose thousands of troops in Iraq to death and permanent injury, supposedly to secure that country for democracy. Yet women in Saudi Arabia are far less free than women were in Iraq under Saddam Hussein, the press is just as restricted, and Saudi Arabia tolerates far less religious freedom. In almost every way, Saudi Arabia is more intolerant, restrictive, and oppressive than Saddam’s Iraq. Perhaps that has something to do with why most of those who attacked us on 9/11–including Bin Laden–were from Saudi Arabia, and not a single one was a product of Saddam Hussein.

The National Review has a good write up on this which you should read.

The next move for oil/power domination…Iran? Colombia?

Although this first article is dated news, it still holds true as another source to validate the growing U.S.-British Oil Imperialism movement we are now brainwashed to accept as “the war on terrorism”:

The Real Reasons Why Iran is the Next Target: The Emerging Euro-denominated International Oil Marker

A sample from the above link:

Candidly stated, ‘Operation Iraqi Freedom’ was a war designed to install a pro-U.S. puppet in Iraq, establish multiple U.S military bases before the onset of Peak Oil, and to reconvert Iraq back to petrodollars while hoping to thwart further OPEC momentum towards the euro as an alternative oil transaction currency. [1] In 2003 the global community witnessed a combination of petrodollar warfare and oil depletion warfare. The majority of the world’s governments – especially the E.U., Russia and China – were not amused – and neither are the U.S. soldiers who are currently stationed in Iraq.

Indeed, the author’s original pre-war hypothesis was validated shortly after the war in a Financial Times article dated June 5th, 2003, which confirmed Iraqi oil sales returning to the international markets were once again denominated in US dollars, not euros. Not surprisingly, this detail was never mentioned in the five US major media conglomerates who appear to censor this type of information, but confirmation of this vital fact provides insight into one of the crucial – yet overlooked – rationales for 2003 the Iraq war.

“The tender, for which bids are due by June 10, switches the transaction back to dollars — the international currency of oil sales – despite the greenback’s recent fall in value. Saddam Hussein in 2000 insisted Iraq’s oil be sold for euros, a political move, but one that improved Iraq’s recent earnings thanks to the rise in the value of the euro against the dollar.” [2]

It is better to return to the truth than persist in error

A quote from an audio tape released by Usama bin Laden recently directed towards the American people and focused on not only his intentions for the war but his reciprocation of the truths and reasons for the Bush Administrations entrance and continuance for the war in Iraq.

He speaks to the American people more openly than our own administration and this is even more true with the open American censorship of the actual depth of message on his latest audio tape. In his own words Usama shows how the Bush Administration doesn’t actually want to rid the world of al-Qaida, he needs al-Qaida to further the proliferation of American business in the middle east, including the fields of arms, oil production and construction/reconstruction business on going in Iraq by American companies (especially those that contributed politically to our current president’s election.)

Usama begins:

“I say to you [the American people] that security is an indispensable pillar of human life and that free men do not forfeit their security, contrary to Bush’s claim that we hate freedom.

If so, then let him explain to us why we don’t strike for example – Sweden? And we know that freedom-haters don’t possess defiant spirits like those of the 19”

He implores the American people to wake up to Bush’s own deception:

“But I am amazed at you. Even though we are in the fourth year after the events of September 11th, Bush is still engaged in distortion, deception and hiding from you the real causes. And thus, the reasons are still there for a repeat of what occurred.”

Speaks about the “expertise” and implied corruption of politicians in America:

“So he took dictatorship and suppression of freedoms to his son and they named it the Patriot Act, under the pretense of fighting terrorism. In addition, Bush sanctioned the installing of sons as state governors, and didn’t forget to import expertise in election fraud from the region’s presidents to Florida to be made use of in moments of difficulty.”

He talks about how easy it is to bait the current administration into a fight and how there are no winners for this scenario but the government contracted companies that provide munitions, infrastructure and contracts to fight and rebuild the battle zone… makes me think that his next move will be to bait American into Iran. There are no winners and in fact there are only losers, the bigger will be our country because of the financial disadvantage this “war” puts us in for our future generations – example the Russia and al-Qaida fight:

“This is in addition to our having experience in using guerrilla warfare and the war of attrition to fight tyrannical superpowers, as we, alongside the mujahidin, bled Russia for 10 years, until it went bankrupt and was forced to withdraw in defeat… So we are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy.”

He pokes fun at Bush’s incompotence:

“It never occurred to us that the commander-in-chief of the American armed forces would abandon 50,000 of his citizens in the twin towers to face those great horrors alone, the time when they most needed him.

But because it seemed to him that occupying himself by talking to the little girl about the goat and its butting was more important than occupying himself with the planes and their butting of the skyscrapers, we were given three times the period required to execute the operations”

And again the reasons for the war in Iraq are simple from the outside of our country but blurred by our own media and current Administration’s deceptive message:

“But the darkness of the black gold blurred his vision and insight, and he gave priority to private interests over the public interests of America.”

The consequences of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan:

“So I say to you, over 15,000 of our people have been killed and tens of thousands injured, while more than a thousand of you have been killed and more than 10,000 injured. And Bush’s hands are stained with the blood of all those killed from both sides, all for the sake of oil and keeping their private companies in business.”

Presented here is the message in full English translation:

What do you think… if not knowing that this speech came from Usama bin Laden, would it make you think any different? the same or do you believe this is just a “mad man’s” rhetoric designed to confuse the American public?
