Oil Timeline
22 March 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
3 commentsThis is a brief and fanciful timeline predicting the future of oil.
2006: The U.S. attacks Iran and secures its oil and natural gas supplies. For the next decade, Europe and Japan give their tacit approval in exchange for a share of oil.

2012: The U.S. invades Venezuela and secures its oil supplies.
2015: China and India demand a (…) -

1 commentIf Italy can have a Mafia, and Russians can have a Mafia, and Japanese can have a Yakuza, etc, etc, etc, and they all have US operations, why would it be any surprise whatsoever that we could have an Israeli Mafia in the US?
Truth being stranger than fiction, it wouldn’t surprise me if they have co-opted most of the US government with what always is at the bottom of trouble - money/wealth.
How else can you explain the US supporting Israel in anything it does, even though it ticks off all (…) -

By VANESSA REDGRAVE
I am urging the Royal Court Theatre to sue the New York Theatre Workshop for the cancellation of the production of "My Name Is Rachel Corrie". Not because I donated money for this production, which the Royal Court have been fundraising for—a target of 50,000 pounds, underwritten by Alan Rickman.
This is censorship of the worst kind. More awful even than that.It is black-listing a dead girl and her diaries.A very brave and exceptional girl who all citizens, whatever (…)
