...shall we continue to avoid reality, dream about what will never happen, and waste time, effort, and capital on illusions?

well, yes... avoiding reality...

the reality is, global power resides in people who think they have power to create their own reality, and that reality of theirs just happens to include a project to grab control of the world's remaining oil at gunpoint, the better to achieve their "benevolent global hegemony".

nevermind how many millions of lives, how much talent, how many trillions of dollars and how many natural resources will be wasted in this project... and all those things ---the wasted lives, talent, money, and natural resources--- should have been spent on transitioning, as best we can, to a sustainable way of life...

.

the first step in regaining some control of our future resides in our facing the truth, and telling each other the truth.

too bad both are politically impossible, isnt it? ...but as decent human beings, we must try.

the first step in regaining some control of our future resides in our facing the truth, and telling each other the truth.

too bad both are politically impossible, isnt it? ...but as decent human beings, we must try.

for example...

didnt kristol get $100,000 from lay and enron?

and kennyboy may have gotten a great return on his investment.... you remember enron's dabhol india electric plant disaster.... well, the only thing that could have saved enron was a natural gas pipeline from turkmenistan through afghanistan down to enron's electric generating plant in dabhol....

now it just so happens that turkmenistan's natural gas was, at that time prior to 9/11, controlled by one yossi maiman ---an "ex"-mossad international industrialist, involved in venezuela, serbia, china, turkmenistan, buddies with sharon--- who can be regarded as a covert arm of the israeli govt.

maiman's control of turkmenistan's gas was similar to israeli russians' control of russian oil ---all being an integral part of the israeli/israeli american/exxon/kristol plan for global hegemony through control of oil, gas and pipeline routes.

anyhow, kristol's PNAC, a spinoff of the radical likud AEI, notes in september of 2000 that "a new pearl harbor" will be needed to serve as a pretext to grab even more oil and gas...

...and somehow or other, kenny lay of enron just happens to find out about the impending 9/11 operation ---which would screw up pipeline plans for afghanistan and spell doom for enron--- in time to pump his stock to his shareholders while dumping his own personal holdings in enron..... where did lay get that warning?

...from kristol, to whom he paid $100,000, or from yossi maiman, for whom lay's enron had done the preliminary surveys for the afghanistan and trans-caspian pipelines?

and so, in the aftermath of 9/11, kristol becomes the voice of urbane reason, appearing nonstop on israeli american televison, pushing his agenda ---which includes killing thousands ---eventually millions?--- of muslims, and pushing that agenda with such gentility that it almost sounds civilized.
