IS THIS WHAT SYRIA WAR REALLY ABOUT?
WND ^ | Sept 11, 2013 | by Aaron Klein

PHILADELPHIA – Is the reported willingness of Arab Gulf states to fund a U.S. military campaign in Syria really about major oil and gas interests that run through the country?

The potential for trillions of dollars of energy revenue in deals that snake through Syrian territory may be a motivating factor for the U.S., Russia, Turkey and Arab states in the current Syria crisis.

The idea upon which the article is based has been around for some time.

A more interesting theory, Wag-the-Dog in order to enable the Governators and Banksters to hike the debt limit and print virtually unlimited sums of money while distracting financial markets and locking the Ruskies and Chinese out of the Middle East, seems even more plausible. You can read more about the concept here: When “No War” Is Bad?

That article may even be worthy of its own thread, IMHO.

What we are witnessing is the desperation of the globalist “invisible hand” financial oligarchy reacting to the ripping off of their various camouflage and misdirection cloakings by the Internet and it’s outflanking of info manipulation and obfuscation via centralized news gathering and filtering. Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden should be considered heroes by conservatives who are slowly waking up to the parasite Wall St. hypnotists’ cannibal binge. The globalist financial oligarchy (neocon, Eastern Liberal Establishment, old money, CFR, Trilateralist, etc.) is fundamentally war lord feudalist, and as such, chronically have no love for Democracy unless, as cited above, they manipulate it to their advantage from hidden revetments. As their various love children such as Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo and Franco, et al, demonstrate, a final “gotterdammerung” is their usual endgame strategy when cornered and boxed in. They are pulling out all the stops in an attempt to propel the world into a nuclear WWIII as the lead in to their engineering of a global “new Dark Age” of feudal tyranny, “environmentalist” depopulation, martial law and police state privatization. Their players, their weaknesses, their hidden control lines, their psychosis, are all standing naked before a laterally connected and aware citizenry for the first time in history.

Stay focused on the financial machinations of the Wall St. and London aristocracies. Do not let us become distracted and dispersed, like the idiot Occupy movement, by satellite issues. We need to concentrate on the head shot. The satellite issues will sort themselves out IF we can deconstruct, disassemble and permanently cripple the Madoff, Soros, Bernanke, Kissinger and Rothschild aristocracies of the World and return non-manipulated sovereignty and autonomy to the nations of this planet. This is precisely whom we fought our American Revolution against.

Well, if the US was going to intervene, it would be to ensure artificially HIGH processing costs to keep prices unreasonably high for Obama's so called "middle class"

Baloney. This, like that phony video scandal, is about nothing more than distraction. Wave your hand to get the gullible press to turn and look while you hide the rabbit with the other hand.

it is nothing more complex than the regime fears Benghazi and this is the first anniversary of that horrible attack.

It was all about European oil and the Saudis. Case closed.

The rebels, being jihadists and being Moslems, would have zero qualms and a lot of motivation to do the chem strike themselves to get it blamed on Assad and neatly get rid of some annoying civilians at the same time.

Absolutely this is what it is all about.

1) Qatar want to put in LNG pipe and the Shittes win

2) Saudi want LNG pipline, Sunni’s win

3) Russians and by proxy Assad, do not want this as it would limit Russia’s ability to effect western European politics through the supply of LNG.

Of course O’Bama would bow to the Arabian King and Keeper of the Holy Places. He bowed to everyone else in the world except Queen Liz to make it look like he just reflexively bows to heads of state (except for Liz) after the Saudi bow caused a flap.

So...the Obama NEEDS a war in Syria. Twice over: to make way for his big money pals in Saudi Arabia et al, and to hand yet another country over to the Muslim Brotherhood & Co.

Damn, the guy is too inept to even start a war.
