Anyone else detecting a pattern here? (Halliburton)...

Just the other day I posted:

Here's a lecture from a UC Davis prof on the history of oil, with a special eye on the formation of OPEC:

Note that Iranian and Iraqi oil was purposely kept off the market, enhancing the "swing producer" role of the Saudis. In 1972, Rockefeller agrees to give ARAMCO control of the oil and in 1973 the Saudis use this "swing producer" role to cause the price of oil to skyrocket. And the US Congress could say nothing because the Saudis, a sovereign nation, are outside their jurisdiction. Cute, huh?

So now Halliburton is moving to Dubai....

You say the U.S. anti-trust laws got you down? You say that being a American company has costs, as well as rewards?

Well, Bucko, simply move your flag to a friendly Middle East dictatorship and reap all the rewards while placing yourself firmly outside of the jurisdiction of US laws...

1. They are trying to get laws through the Iraqi Parliament now

to have a state-owned oil company that will allow foreign oil companies to make big profits.

I'm sure that is exactly what the Iraqi people wanted. :sarcasm:

2. "They" sure do like their sock puppets, huh? n/t

3. Cheney wants to take his Halliburton toys to Dubai ---

well, Congress, cancel all their government contracts. It's only fair since they are un-American.

Will Congress have the guts to do it? 'fraid not!

4. BTW: I HIGHLY recommend the UC Davis link...

If you fully understand that and the actual history of the CIA, you'll have 90% of the Secret Government stuff figured out.

5. Too bad the good agents speak out too late - they should've tried BEFORE the

media was controlled by corporations aligned with BushInc.
