Iraq Oil

OIL & GOLD: The Middle East and South American Grand Theft

Posted on by Helena

Like Palestine, Iraq was declared a mandatory colony of the British Empire post WWI.   Iraq was given independence in 1932 under the auspices of the Kingdom of Iraq – under Hashemite Rule.  In WWII, The Kingdom of Iraq was used as an air base by the US against the Syria Mandate which was under French rule.  In 1941, the UK and the Soviet Bolsheviks attacked Iraq under Operation Countenance and took control.  The purpose was to ‘secure their oil field’ while simultaneously installing the Shah, Reza Pahlavi, as the Western proxy ruler of Iran.

In other words, the Middle East has never been the Middle East, it has always been a Mandated Colony of the West since the fall of the Ottoman Empire.  Israel wanted the entire Middle East be given to them after the Ottoman fall.  The EU was not so willing. Freedom = slavery to the West.  So, it is no surprise, these colonies might be a bit miffed.  

Syria will be colonized by Israel.  But Germany and France want a piece.  It is like watching jackals on a feeding frenzy having taken down a lion.  Tearing flesh …

When the US decided to assassinate Saddam Hussein, the ensuing two years the country was ruled by The Pentagon until 2005 when Jalal Talabani was installed – a Kurd.  He was loyal to Bush and Obama – doing their will as a Colony.  When Talabani died, the US installed another Kurd, Fuad Masum, a Communist.  He was forced to step down when he illegally appointed a new PM. 

So, the US installed Barham Salih, a Kurd who studied in the UK.  The Kurds represent just 15% of the demographical population in Iraq.  Arabs making up 75%.  What does Iraq have in resources that makes it a Western caliphate forever?  Oil, natural gas, phosphate, sulfur, agriculture products, petro-chemicals and fertilizers.  Because the US confiscates Iraqi petroleum, Iraq imports crude from the UAE. 

There are 27 International oil companies operating in Iraq – drawing their oil.  In Syria, Exxon and Royal Dutch Shell are the prime operators.   Israel wants a piece of the PIE.

 Why does the West need to absorb these Middle East countries?   Oil.  In fact, despite the rhetoric of US being a net exporter, the reality is a bit different: 

2023:  The US consumes 20.25 million barrels per day.  The US produces 12.93 million barrels per day.  The US exports 4.06 million barrels per day.  Leaving a shortage of 11 million barrels per day.  While importing 6.5 million barrels per day.   Contrary to Common Core math at the government level – this does NOT make the US a net exporter in any rationale.  But it does reveal the US is making bank on the elevated gas prices sold at the pump to US citizens as a direct result of ‘shortages’.

The US military in northern Syria steal 66,000 barrels of oil daily, traveling in tankers to Iraq.  From there it is sold on the black market to possibly Israel with profits never recorded on the Pentagon black books.   A lose lose for Americans.  Imports are from Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Colombia.   Iraq and Colombia being colonies of the CIA.   Which is why Venezuela is sanctioned so heavily – they have more oil than Satan.

Today, the US military signed agreements with Trinidad and Tobago allowing for US troops to deploy in their countries.    The islands are a mere 7 miles from the coast of Venezuela.  In addition, the US is planning to install bases in Guyana while Venzeuela and Guyana attempt to work thru a dispute over the Essequibo Strip.

This oil rich, natural gas, and gold strip bordering both Guyana and Venezuela is disputed. In 1966, the UK and US arbitrated which country this strip should belong to.   Guyana won – Venezuela contested.  It remains contested. Guyana sent in Exxon Mobil to drill.  How does this impact the CIA and DoD?  Every deal has to concede to a ‘cut’ of the spoils.  Just like the Drug Trade.  The Child Trafficking Trade.  Those cuts are untraceable/nontaxable funds. 

In 2024, the independent audit of the DoD resulted in a ‘disclaimer’, as in the auditors cannot verify the accuracy.  It failed its 2023 audit – Disclaimer.  It failed its 2022 audit.  It failed its 2021 audit.  It failed its first submission financial report, and their ‘restated financials’ for 2020. Disclaimer.  I stopped looking.   There is no line item for stolen oil and gas – for mercenary payments in gold – or for trafficking profits.

Fair Guess – the DoD has failed every audit for the last 80+ years.  Fair Guess.  The DoD doesn’t give a rats arse.

KPMG is the auditor of every agency of the US government and NATO. 

Mercenary Armies in Middle East

Posted on by Helena

IRAQ; a Middle Eastern country whose oil riches are estimated to potentially be the largest in the world and which are predominantly leased to Canada, the US, UK, France, Australia, Russia and a spattering of EU countries. Nine of the world’s most powerful mercenary armies are tasked with Iraqi oil property protection; G4S, Unity Resources Group, Erinys, Asia Security Group, DynCorp, Triple Canopy, Aegis Defense Services, Defion International and Academi.

Most of these mercenaries receive funding from the US State Department.

Since the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the toppling of Saddam Hussein, and the administration of the Coalition Provisional Authority under Paul Bremer, the US government, and by defacto, the CIA, has controlled every aspect of Iraq, including it’s oil.

Under Bremer, the B’aath Party under which Hussein ruled was eliminated, culled… its members fled persecution or were faced with assassination.   Both Sunni and Shia militia groups formed to fight the US rule of Iraq. One such group was led by Abu Musad al-Zarqawi, who later became one of Osama Bin Laden’s masterminds.

Bremer, in coalition with the CIA and an Iranian military officer, Soleimani, turned power over to Shia, Nouri al-Maliki in 2006 as Prime Minister.   Soliemani was later sanctioned by the US government for supporting the Syrian government and Assad who also worked alongside the US prior to the invasion of Iraq and suddenly now became a targeted – bad guy…

Al-Maliki fell out of favor with the US and in 2014, Fuad Masum, a Communist politician who later joined the Kurdistan Democratic Party, was secretly made President by Ban-Ki-Moon of the UN and Kurdish MP’s.   He ousted Maliki and appointed Haider al-Abadi as the new Prime Minister.

Abadi’s education and early work life was conducted in the UK, where he worked in the ‘transportation industry’. Under his rule, the once majority Shia party was quelled as he introduced more Sunni’s into the government per the US and EU advisory. But Abadi became critical of Obama and shifted alliance from the US to Russia and Iran.

This shift put a strain on US control of the oil reserves in Iraq and calls for mercenaries to destabilize Iraq’s government were ramped up. These mercenaries operate via multi-million and billion dollar contracts and became the de facto armies representing various nations across the globe including the US, Australia, Europe and Canada. The oil companies, Shell, Mobil, BP, Total, Chevron, Hess, Dragon, as well as a number from China, Turkey and Indonesia, were in competition with Rosneft and Gazprom from Russia.

Wagner Mercenaries provide the Russian government with their unchartered, unregulated army, and are most likely in Iraq as well protecting Russia’s oil interests.

Meanwhile, the acknowledged militaries are at the mercy of commands and commanders that are at the mercy of the unregulated…operating in missions that are convoluted, corrupted, and – staged.

The footprint in the Middle East, the assassination of Saddam and the subsequent rise of ISIS wreaked havoc on a plan that backfired 15 years ago with the initial invasion of Iraq. Attempting to ‘cleanup’ the mess, Syria and Yemen became the next targets as US and European interests in the Middle East erupted into chaos.

Blackmailed into the ethnic cleansing of Shiites, and anyone not Sunni, the block of power brokers including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, have invoked an all out war in the Middle East with the US and EU acting as proxy. The blackmail? To continue to allow the US control of Iraq. In return we give them Syria and Yemen. Iran is up for grabs… And Turkey?

Turkey became fearful when Assad, the US and Russia began backing the Kurds. Should the Kurds gain a foothold in Syria, Erdogan fears the Turkish Kurds, which represent roughly 20% of the population, would be emboldened and demand civil rights. Turkey is thus indirectly supporting – ISIL.

The war is far from over with continued propaganda statements of chemical attacks and bombings on civilians.   For now, some are proposing a ‘protectorate’ of forces, policed by troops from ‘many nations’ in which separate states will be imposed within Iraq and Syria housing Sunni’s, Shites, and Kurds.  

Not unlike dividing Palestine and Israel, I imagine the people of Syria and Iraq will not be too thrilled.
