In, ‘Day of Infamy: The March 20, 2008 US Declaration of War on Iran’ (http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=8429) Global Research reported the American government used its political muscles to freeze Iran’s assets through the FinCEn unit of the US Department of Treasury. 

Global Research’s article says that this sanction will “…deliver the ultimate death blow to Iran's ability to participate in the international banking system…What it really means is that the US, again through FinCEN, has declared two acts of war: one against Iran's banks and one against any financial institution anywhere in the world that tries to do business with an Iranian bank.”

Although Myanmar’s oil output is small (9,500 barrels a day), the oil industry believes that there are billions of untapped reserves below Myanmar’s soil and sea.

By its structure, western capitalism constantly needs new “markets” to keep itself afloat.  Predatorial and without conscience, the Lords of the “Free Market” either wait like vultures in the treetops for wounded and weak prey or they wait “in the cue to gain access to what may be substantial oil reserves in that fractured country.”

However they do it, it seems that vampire capitalists are about to rush in on crisis wrought Myanmar and plunder it like they’ve done to countless other countries when they were in severe shock.
