Last week I
mentioned several times the issue of “Why” the United States government seems
so hell-bent on starting up a war with Syria.
Upfront the Obama administration says that any action by US forces is
aimed at humanitarian relief for the people of Syria. Bombing Syria because it bombed itself is
just about the most worthless excuse for starting a military conflict as I have
ever heard. It is so reminiscent of the
first two Gulf Wars and the lies expelled by Our government 12 years ago. But it really is more of a déjà vu than most
folks realize…

“Subject:
The US Invasion of Syria Is Coming Soon
Israel is destroying the eastern supply lines and escape routes
to/from Damascus in preparation for a US invasion of Syria. It is no secret
that Cheney has had a decades long dream of building a pipeline from the
Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. Now that the neo-con's favorite butt-boy,
Ahmed Chalabi, has used his position as Iraq's Minister of Oil, along with his
moonlighting job as an Iranian covert operative, to secure the eastern half of
the project for Halliburton, Syria is the only thing that stands in Cheney's
way.
Notice how Bush and Rice have been stepping up the anti-Syrian
rhetoric while smoothing over differences with Iran lately? Look for a lot more
of that soon.

In 1967 Israel took control of a
Syrian region called the Golan Heights.
Since then they have administered the area as if it were their own
territory. This is clearly in violation
of International Law, but nothing has ever really been done to rectify the
situation. In 1990 things began to
change as shale oil and gas were discovered.
Syria raised concerned with drilling in the area because of the
potential damage to the water supply.
Israel gets about 15% of it’s water from melt flow that comes down from
the plateau in the Spring as does Syria.
However… in February of this year,
the Israeli Ministry of Energy and Water Resources granted an exclusive license
to drill for oil and gas to a New Jersey corporation named Genie Energy. The arrangement allows the company to explore
and develop hydrocarbon resources over about half of the occupied
territory. What’s really interesting is
the WHO of Genie…
“Genie
Energy Ltd. is an American energy holding company headquartered in Newark, New
Jersey. It is a holding company comprising IDT Energy, a retail
energy provider, and Genie Oil & Gas, which controls the company's ventures
in oil shale research and development in Colorado
and Israel.
Genie was part of IDT Corporation. IDT spun off Genie to its shareholders on
October 31, 2011, at which point Class B common stock of Genie Energy Ltd.
began trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "GNE". [1]
Genie's founder, chairman and
controlling shareholder is Howard Jonas. Claude Pupkin is the company's CEO, and Avi
Goldin is its CFO. Geoffrey Rochwarger is Genie's vice chairman.
Genie previously announced a strategic advisory board
whose members provide strategic direction and council. Its members include
former Vice President Dick Cheney, Michael
Steinhardt, Jacob Rothschild, and Rupert Murdoch.[2]”
A former Israeli Minister of Energy
and Water Resources, Effi Eitam heads the local Israeli subsidiary of Genie Oil
& Gas. Mr. Eitam is also a former
Brigadier General in the Israeli Defense Forces and member of the Knesset. His ties with the radical Zionist groups are
well known and his calls for eradication of Arabs are well documented. In an interview given to a reporter from The
New Yorker, Eitam said of the Palestinians… “We’ll have to kill them all!”
In addition to ensuring access to
the Oil & Gas in Syria…War will also allow the builders of several
pipelines to conduct business with a new government that won’t ask for as big a
cut of the business. Dick Cheney stands
to make billions, as the pipelines will be need to be both built and maintained
and his company Halliburton is poised to take charge and make the pipelines
happen.
