Mindanao next target of US oil imperialism?


Where there's blood there's oil.
Look at Aceh, North Sumatra, thats where Jakarta gets its oil.
In 1980, when I was playing at being a capitalist on Liberty Plaza (sic) opposite WTC tower2, I was constantly bemused by USAnians complaining that "we shouldn't give those 3rd world people so much aid, they're so ungrateful"
I tried to tell people that the USA took in far more than it gave. As old Walt Wriston, City Bank boss, said, "Around here, Jakarta pays the bills". Walt was known for his bluntness. At a conference on the social responsibility of Banks he got up and said "we dont have a social responsibility, we have a responsibility to our shareholders".

Blame it on Revelations. Which was certainly not written by St. John.
Without Revelations, Christianity would be a different fish. And the Blood-Cultists now controlling the USA would need a different apocalyptic delusion to impose on us.

Genghis Khan's grandson burnt the city in the 13th century and, so it was said, the Tigris river ran black with the ink of books. Yesterday, the black ashes of thousands of ancient documents filled the skies of Iraq.
Year Zero in Iraq

The war is not over; it has not even begun. Iraq has been betrayed from within, the regime having cut a deal with the invaders. The resistance now remains deferred. ......a veritable Palestine writ large
