Fascists in Russian Anti-Putin Coalition: Whither the Oil Rich and Largely Muslim Caucasus?

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ January 29, 2012 ⋅ 12 comments

COMMENT: The coali­tion assem­bling to attempt the oust­ing of Vladimir Putin embraces lib­er­als, left­ists and “nationalists”–that’s New York Times code for fas­cists, a word that Amer­i­can jour­nal­ists sel­dom use.
That coalition–strained at the moment–is rem­i­nis­cent in some ways of the one that ousted the author­i­tar­ian Hosni Mubarak. That event, as we have seen, has led [...]

GOP Endorses Nazi Fischer/Tropsch Process

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ July 1, 2011 ⋅ 8 comments

COMMENT: The GOP has seized upon the Fischer/Tropsch process as a means of reduc­ing U.S. depen­dency on energy. Devel­oped by the I.G. Far­ben firm and used by the Third Reich to pro­duce fuel, the process was the focal point of the Standard/I.G. Agree­ment of 1929.
Recently, the process has been used to facil­i­tate the pro­cess­ing of [...]

Good Ol’ Saudi Arabia . . .

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ April 6, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

COMMENT:We’ve spent much time in these pro­grams on the sub­ject of Saudi Ara­bia. A recent story high­lighted the medieval, benighted  nature of this “ally.” (Saudi Ara­bia has also invested heav­ily in U.S. com­mer­cial and edu­ca­tional infra­struc­ture.)
It seems the Saudi secu­rity forces are tak­ing a highly-touted course in how to negate “black magic” (no kid­ding!).
Great.

FTR #737 Taqqiya Sunrise, Part II: Turkish Taffy (More on the Rolling Coups in the Middle East

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ April 2, 2011 ⋅ 5 comments

A sug­ary con­fec­tion, the “mod­er­a­tion” of Mus­lim Broth­er­hood should be taken with a grain of salt; Turk­ish Islamism masks jihadist ele­ments; transna­tional cor­po­ra­tions and asso­ci­ated intel­li­gence ser­vices dis­sem­i­nat­ing this “Turk­ish Taffy.”

Leaking in Persian Gulf: “WikiPeak” Oil?

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ February 10, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

COMMENT: A recent Wik­iLeaks State Depart­ment cable dis­clo­sure gives a boost to the “Peak Oil” hypoth­e­sis as well as lay­ing the foun­da­tion for a fur­ther run-up in the price of oil. Quot­ing a for­mer Saudi offi­cial (who may have been speak­ing from bit­ter­ness), the cable says the Saudis’ oil reserves are very much lower than [...]

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ December 26, 2010 ⋅ 5 comments

Break­ing jour­nal­is­tic taboos about the JFK assas­si­na­tion, Russ Baker por­trays the real­ity of Amer­i­can power pol­i­tics, as exem­pli­fied by the Bush family’s use of covert action to manip­u­late the United States and its citizens.

Com­ment: The BP exec­u­tive in charge of a newly-created unit to deal with the clean up of the Gulf Coast fol­low­ing the Deep­wa­ter Hori­zon blowout was killed in the crash of a small plane.
As is always the case with the death of a strategically-placed indi­vid­ual at a time of con­tro­versy, one must ask: was this tragedy [...]

FTR #725 Leak This! WikiSpooks and the World of Stieg Larsson

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ October 22, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Wik­iLeaks inex­tri­ca­bly linked with intel­li­gence ser­vices around the world; A founder of the group says they act like “spies”; Wik­iLeaks’ Swedish base of oper­a­tions over­laps the Swedish fas­cist polit­i­cal milieu por­trayed in the Stieg Lars­son books and movies.

FTR #723 Doin’ the Earth Island Boogie

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ September 18, 2010 ⋅ 12 comments

Are GOP/oil industry/Muslim Broth­er­hood ele­ments under­min­ing Obama’s for­eign pol­icy vis a vis Rus­sia? Are these same jihadist ele­ments stir­ring unrest in Rus­sia and Cen­tral Asia? Are they work­ing with the Turk­ish government?

German Military Think Tank: “Peak Oil” Could Destroy Democracy

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ September 8, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Com­ment: A Ger­man mil­i­tary think tank projects major changes in Ger­man and world polit­i­cal devel­op­ments pre­cip­i­tated by “Peak Oil.” As dis­cussed in FTR #‘s 506, 534, “Peak Oil” is a monop­oly gam­bit by the petro­leum indus­try being used to jus­tify the impo­si­tion of Nazi-style, polit­i­cal total­i­tar­i­an­ism.
