Bhutto was key to US plan

Benazir Bhutto was central to American hopes of broadening out Pakistan’s government from the figure of General Musharraf. Washington helped engineer the political deal that saw her return and now it has seen that lead to disaster, with the loss of one of the key figures in its plan.

The US tried to broker an arrangement that would accommodate western objectives in the Central Asia region. The effort to squeeze Taliban and AlQaeda between two western influenced countries becomes clumsier every day. The entanglement of covert micro management has backfired once again. The US must employ even more corrupt leaders at the price of forfeiting human rights. Trying to inject a moderate ally into the poisonous mix created by the US is doomed. This most recent effort to manipulate Pakistani politics has failed faster than expected. The US is guilty of failing to see long term consequences to its interfering in foreign cultures.

By oversimplifying whole populations as inferior to western culture, the US and Britain have manufactured an angry and resentful world opinion. Much like the Spanish Christian inquisition of the 1400s, western governments have engaged in a political inquisition. In kind, our targets have justified their own inquisition, but, they call it Jihad. Every move western countries make justifies a counter move by an increasingly powerful force. Western arrogance has blinded reason and created poisonous foreign policies.

… a landmark agreement on Thursday to build a pipeline to transport gas to Russia, tightening Moscow’s control over Central Asian gas exports.

The accord, signed in the presence of Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, and Nursultan Nazarbayev, Kazakhstan’s leader, is a setback for Europe, which is courting Caspian producers for gas supplies to reduce its dependence on Russian imports.

Mr Putin said the Pricaspiysky pipeline would be “a serious investment by our countries in strengthening energy security, not just in Eurasia but more widely, bearing in mind our main consumers in west Europe”.

Totally ignoring western efforts to control fossil fuel products, Russia flexes it’s muscles. Like an athlete on steroids, Putin has taken the reigns for his country and forged allies into a powerful opponent to western fantasies of entitlement. Britain and the US have been mesmerized by a Camelot view of the world. This has evolved into a foreign policy of Grab-A-Lot. What is missing from this fantasy is respect for fellow inhabitants of this suffering planet. Interest in human rights and morality is applied selectively. The world watches Darfur with mild interest while destroying impediments to fossil fuel resources. Covert deals, supplying arms to both sides of a conflict, emphasizes the arrogance of entitlement and resulting bigotry motivating Britain and US actions.

Europe needs to increase its nuclear power capacity substantially to relieve its over dependence on gas, the chief executive of Edison has warned.

Umberto Quadrino, head of Italy’s second-largest utility, said there was serious trouble looming in European power supply. “If you look at the supply of gas to Europe over the next 15 years, we have to be scared.”

Europe desperately seeks energy alternatives. Because oil interests have suppressed growth of more rational energy policies for so long, western countries are getting a late start. The quick fix is nuclear. Now, the concept of ‘Grab-A-Lot’ is backfiring. Western interests fear nuclear development in other countries. This is a glaring example of short sighted foreign policy. Energy removed is energy that must be replaced … DUH! You would think that would be a factor considered by elite think tanks and global cabals who are supposed to plan the world’s future.

Reworking long-term projections for global oil reserves.

The industrialized countries’ oil watchdog has admitted that it has been paying insufficient attention to supply bottlenecks as evidence mounts that oil is being discovered more slowly than once expected.

Question mark over US estimates

The US Geological Survey is a US government-funded scientific body that studies, among other things, the incidence and growth of the world’s oil and gas reserves.

On current trends this would reduce USGS estimates of future oil reserves by 400bn barrels over the 30-year period, leaving a few industry analysts to predict that global oil production will peak before 2020.

Critics of the industry say the US approach is naive. They say the fact that the oil industry has to resort to venturing into more difficult terrain and continue co-operating with difficult oil-rich regimes is an indication that oil reserves are tightening.

Western interests have not paid attention to simple concepts. Foreign policy built upon ‘Grab-A-Lot’ has imperiled the world. Clash of cultures and human sustainability is a consequence of allowing self important, self indulgent, fantasy driven leaders to rule our lives. In smaller examples, civil wars and revolutions occur when corrections must be made. Each country is responsible for electing representatives who deal with the world. Populations who buy in to the entitlement fantasy will pay a dear price. The world is larger than any one country … the brainwashed population becomes so self important that they are blind to the world they occupy. The consequence of blind self importance is immanent. The world has had enough. Radical change for world order greets us with blood.
