Ron Paul's Revolution and the Corporate Opposition by Melinda Pillsbury-Foster Page 1 of 3 page(s) |

|
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” - Mohandas K. Gandhi. The gloves are off, and it is about time. In the debate this evening in Durham, New Hampshire, Congressman Ron Paul again spoke the truth that all Americans, but especially Republicans, need to hear. No longer gasping at the single-hearted courage that propels Paul to speak truth despite the continued efforts of the NeoCon corporate field to maintain the myths promulgated by the Bush Administration, the corporate CFR candidates, lead by Huckabee, attacked the only real Republican on the stage. The audience applauded loudly. Many of us cheered. The Ron Paul Campaign is reshaping politics in America by raising the inconvenient facts that underly the whole of American government. We have a Constitution; we need to return to it and to the original framing intended by the Founders. 
That means an end to the Federal government as we know it today. Left and right, Americans from all political viewpoints are beginning to see the propaganda campaign to which they have been subjected and to understand just how far from freedom the ugly alliance of government and corporations have taken us.
When the debate ended Fox was left holding polling results that showed Paul the clear winner.
Final Results:
Ron Paul 33%
Huckabee- 18%
Giuliani- 15%
McCain- 14%
Romney- 12%
Hunter- 2%
Tancredo- 2%
Brownback- 1%
Naturally, the media will ignore the results, claiming that Paul supporters 'spammed' the poll. But they know perfectly well that is not the case. If it were so the present technologies make proving that a simple matter. The IP addresses do not lie. But lies are thick upon the ground, in every direction.

Ron Paul Supporters Are DelusionalI fully understand and appreciate why many people embrace Ron Paul; he is a lovely maverick politician. Just one big problem: HE WILL NOT GET THE REPBULICAN NOMINATION!!!!!!! And after the Republican convention, even if he runs on a third party ticket or the ludicrous Unity08 ticket, HE WILL NOT WIN!!!!! What is so sad is not Ron Paul or his supporters, but the delusional thinking of so many people that the current political system is fair enough to allow anyone like Paul to achieve high office. Rather than fight for system reform, all these disgruntled dissidents are working for Paul (and some for Gravel and Kucenich). This support for longshots just makes the current corrupt political system look somewhat honest and competitive - when, in fact, it is NOT!!!!! Yes, what I'm saying, is that all these supporters just make the corrupt system look better than it really is - and it makes it more difficult for everyone to fully recognize just how awful and delusional American democracy has become.

Reply: The delusion is yoursNice rant but short on facts. Paradigms do not shift gradually but through a process similar to punctuated evolution (though given your expressed opinion here you might not accept the theory of evolution), if not that is your problem.
All human culture is illusion; the acceptance of a set of shared ideas that are used as long as they work well enough to satisfy the majority. When that stops being the case people start looking for something else. This also explains the move back to evangelical churches. People are looking for stability and values in their communities when the conditions that created those in their larger world are breaking down. That works to a limited extent. But with the final suck on the economy and the terrorism of Americans now underway by the Bush Administration that is also breaking down.
Human opinion and action reaches a point of supersaturation and then change takes place. The British could not believe colonists, especially those from New England who were known to be very unwarlike, would resist authority when the point was pressed. They did, however.
The build up had been taking place for decades, building on a culture whose operating customs and principles had diverged from those of Britain. Answering the call 10,000 men where marching towards the scene of battle within 24 hours.
You are seeing the Ron Paul campaign through a lense external to the action so you are framing it along with other 'political' campaigns. It is not a political campaign at all. It is a slow motion, non-violent revolution undertaken not by Ron Paul (he always says he is being dragged along) but by activists most of whom were previously entirely uninterested in politics.
In a couple of years you will wonder why you ever thought things could not change. Paradigm shifts are like that.by Melinda Pillsbury-Foster (141 articles, 1 quicklinks, 5 diaries, 121 comments) on Thursday, Sep 6, 2007 at 5:09:32 PM

Reply: Delusion versus substanceFor some years I have been advocating a peaceful Second American Revolution and wrote a book making the case for one (Delusional Demomcracy). For years I taught at the university level about paradigm changes; this subject started with a classic book by Thomas Kuhn: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. The fundamental point about paradigm changes is that they are profound STUCTURAL changes; they can be models or frameworks in science, law, philosophy or government. They are extremely substantive and definitely not about personalities; they are highly intellectual and substantial, not emotional. I see nothing structural or systemic in the crowd that has found political love through the Ron Paul campaign; I have read most of all the writings of Paul over the past decade and see nothing in terms of political/government structural change that would take the nation in a new and better direction.

Ron PaulRon Paul is clearly the best of the Republicans but Dennis Kucinich is the best candidate overall. Ron Paul is too much of a coward. Paul like most of the other Republicans declined to participate in a debate at the University Of Miami broadcast on Univision so the Republican debate had to be cancelled.

Reply: Ron Paul is no cowardKucinich is nice. He has no movement for reasons those close to him understand. He would make a great VP candidate for Ron. That would work well as life insurance, too.

The CFR: One World Government and the End of the U.S.The CFR needs to be included in any discussion of the candidates, of both parties. Being a member of the Council on Foreign Relations is very much like being a member of the mafia: the CFR is a nasty, secret organization with a great front: education and culture. (This is a bit like the Corleone family's olive oil business). Their aim is one world government (and related organizations such as WTO, GATT, NAFDA) and its parent organization, The Tavistock Institute, was instrumental in forging the European Union. As you probably know, the North American Union is moving forward, and it was planned at the CFR. Even today Mexican trucks are rolling into the U.S. and the NAFDA super-highway is being built.
However, I am not convinced that Mike Huckabee is a member of the CFR. I can certainly find validation for: Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Sam Brownback; Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, Joe Biden. As well, many top broadcasters, industrialiasts and media moguls are members of the CFR. This makes sense: they all want to rule the world.
Those candidates which are not CFR members are: Ron Paul (my favorite candidate, ever); Dennis Kuchinich, Mike Gravel and (I think) Mike Huckabee.

Reply: Huckabee and the CFRI found his name on a list of members. The person who compiled the list could have been wrong, though they usually are not. CFR does not supply open information on their membership. I will check around again but certainly the way he attacked Paul does not lead you to the belief he would like to fill the Bush shoes and keep going in the same direction.

Whether or not I agree with RP's policieswhich I don't, I'll forgoe my criticisms here to say that.... Chris Wallace and the rest of the lamestream media have disgraced themselves. Not just on RP's treatment but also on their treatment of Kucinich....(or, if you dig deep enough ...Howard Dean's as well)
I was recently watching 'Orwell Rolls Over in His Grave'
and realised that by now for most americans it should long since have been made abundantly clear that as long as the media consolidates into fewer and fewer hands it begins to serve fewer and fewer interests. Those interests have already decided for the rest of us that they'd rather not have a Paul (GOP) v.s. Kucinich (Dem) 2008 presidential race which I think would likely be the case if there were anything even remotely resembling a free and unbiased press existing in the US. Most likely the race wouldn't even be between just two political parties if we were talking about democracy in the truest sense of the word but one representing a greater image of political pluralism. For instance, The Blue Dog Democrats dilute any possibility of there being any substantial political opposition party.
What we really need is regulation that would limit media monopolies... the kind of regulation that ironically Ron Paul would likely oppose.

Ron Paul's Big problem with ProgressivesI like Ron Paul's stand on the war and his stand against destroying and continuing to aband the constitution. In these ways, he is a very strong candidated.
However, he is not very progressive. He is libertarian. There are some good things about the libertarian criteria but there are key problems.
For example, Ron Paul on the famous GOOGLE interview said that cities and states don't need zoning and urban planning. He used HOUSTON, TEXAS as an example. That is a joke if anyone has lived or traveled regularly in or across that city-state (bigger than Rhode Island for example), HOUSTON is a mess.
Anytime, there is a hurricane scare, things are even worse. In post-Katrina America, we need something more than blind libertarian.

Reply: Progressives and formsRon's candidacy is for President. His commitment to return to the original scope for Federal government intended by the Founders means returning control to the people at the most local area.
What the last 100 years has proven is that centralization does not work. The concentration of money proved to be an irresistible temptation to the unethical greedy. Progressive philosophy built the road to hell with the best of intentions. Progressives were also responsible for the Pledge of Allegiance, an atrocity visited on us in an attempt to change the form of government from a flawed Republic to a centralized socialist state they thought would be more benevolent. We all make mistakes.
No Progressive living today was part of those choices but they each is responsible for examining the facts and outcomes that debunk their theories.
We need to stop experimenting using ourselves as the Guinea Pigs to 'prove' the entirely theoretical and mostly fictional flights of fancy of a bunch of men with more time on their hands than common sense.
It makes far more sense to proceed locally, allowing people to risk what they feel they can personally afford to risk. Using government to experiment on others is, was, and always will be, outrageous.
This was wrong, no matter who wanted to try out their ideas, right, left, or whatever.
Progressives need to enter the real world. They will like it, it is nice here, mostly.

Ron Paul by any name is a RepublicanThis article should have had a disclaimer saying it was an ad for Ron Paul.
Plenty of GOP conspiracy theories, spin, hype, not a lot of facts.
Here's one fact for you if RP does get ellected he will be subjected to the same GOP institutional restrictions and master serving as any other.
Fact two The God bothering base won't support a loose cannon.
I've read his web site and remain under whelmed, he is simply Republican Light. I doubt that he'll be allowed to unravel GOP base sacred cows like the dismantling of Rowe V Rowe judgements. Gay marriage, The bully boy paronoid foreign policy, millitary/Covert excesses?

Reply: Ron Paul is not so much a candidate as a movement...It would be useful if you were more specific when criticizing. Theories are sets of ideas asserted without proof. It is a fact that Rove, Reed, Robertson, and Abramoff planned the creation of an Evengelical political movement. They then trained them to take over the Republican Party. They carried that out in front of other members of Young Republicans. One of them is a long time political associate. He has not published and I do not use his name.
Ron Paul inspires enthusiasm. Bet you wish you could say that about some Democrat.
Your theories, for instance what would happen if Ron is elected really are theories. Or did you consult your Ouiji Board?
If he is elected then the Republican Party as it is today will have ceased to exist so you are wrong on that count. Many of the people who are signing up to support him and reregistering Republican are Progressives and other Democrats. They understand that they can't trust the corporate Dem. candidates and so are going for the candidate who gives them the best shot at change and less government.
Wow. Another theory. What is a God bothering base? I think you mean the TheoCons who are now trying to hold onto their Evangelical Base but it is hard to tell. Ron is not a loose cannon anyway. He consistently supports the position of Austrian Economic Theory; he is determined to return the Federal government to its original conformation. Small and limited.
I will try to deal with the disappointment of your lack of enthusiasm.
If I had to take one of the choices presented to Democrats I would vote for the ass. I was pretty unhappy until Ron declared and this amazing entirely unsolicited movement started. None of us believed it at first. Really, I would be jealous, too.
You don't know Ron. If you did you would understand. He has 18 grandchildren, five kids all happily married. No divorces in the family. He calls his wife,"Lovey" and when you see him looking at her you know she is the center of his universe. That in itself makes him worth supporting.
Compare him to the run of the Hill Republicans and you know he is different.

Jermano for PresidentJermano on Abortion - Abortion should have conditions. If a woman elects to have one, she also gives up the right to have further children. How come the unborn becomes the victim of death because of rape? It’s not right.
- Stem Cell umbilical cord research should be researched.
Jermano on Budget & Economy Strive for balanced budget. Dismantle the CIA, FBI, and Homeland Security. Build the United States Coast Guard. Banks required to give zero percent loans to bank members. All equity becomes property of all the member’s. All members pay dues and said dues are paid toward interest on savings accounts. Corporations required to pay taxes. Stock Market becomes an asset equity market, where people buy ownership stocks, or sell them. Companies can not increase their stock shares to spread out or inflate their equities. Jermano on Civil Rights Black American Day will be recognized, and Native American Indian Day will be recognized.Marriage should be for man and woman. Family contracts will be for same sex relationships. Helping the Kiribati People in which we dropped 38 Atomic Bomb tests over their S. Pacific Nation back in 1962. Ever wonder how much radioactive fish you or others in other countries have eaten? The Kiribati people live in obscure poverty after all these forgetful years. And why do we forget a people who really won the COLD WAR for us? Because if the world knows how bad Chernobyl, and 3 Mile Island was, this Operation Dominic {code name} would make them look like a couple of ice cubes dropping on a hot tile. America needs to accept responsibility for its crimes in the past, be it civil, or environmental. Jermano on Corporations Corporations will be required to pay taxes. Middle Class and below do not pay.Corporations should begin to change their operations by making them more available for individuals. I view many small businesses as part of a working corporation. As we view many States in the US, make up the United States Government. Jermano on Crime - Prison building will be stopped. Prisoners will be put to work building homes for the people.
- Abolish the Death Penalty. It is illegal to kill prisoners no matter the crime. We do not use a negative response to get a positive one. It doesn’t work. More sentences will be money fines, so people have to work to pay off their fines. If they break more laws, they get stiffer fines, until they join the prison crews working on construction. Prisoners who do not work will be put inside a room until they agree to work off their debts.
- Crimes committed in Government will be automatic impeachment, when 30 percent of the people disagree with Presidents illegal wars. There is no way to stop the impeachment process, it must be tabled.
- America has committed many crimes by its leadership. One of the biggest crimes has been nuclear testing. There is no such thing as a NUCLEAR TEST. They are real and they do damage to the environment, and to the people who live in that environment in the world. Whether exploded in the Atmosphere, Underground, or in the Ocean, it does damage and contaminates the water, the air, and the food chain. The radiation, not to mention all the other chemical reactions that can not be read on Geiger-Counters remain lethal and poisonous for 1,000’s of years. I will start a world lawsuit against all superpowers that have used nuclear weapons. There is no distinction if you use them against another country, or you claim it is a test. There is no such thing as a test, because using nuclear weapons is real, and damage can not be reversed. No one can or will believe that a country such as the USA did not cause damage to the planet because they exploded many, many Atomic Bombs. Fish in the ocean are contaminated and are eaten, ground water is poisoned when we drink it, or use it for growing crops, birds in the air are contaminated, and trees are damaged. Even our atmosphere can have a dramatic ionic change weakening it and making it a contributor to Global Warming. Heavens knows what exploding one of those weapons does to our magnetic gravity attraction forces, that has a major factor in how weather patterns form, and the dynamics to wind variations and forces, that use space vacuums and world ocean movements in concern to storms and wind catastrophes.
Jermano on Drugs - People who use drugs will face stiff fines, and required to undergo therapy, to get off the drugs.
- People caught selling drugs will be sentenced to taking the drugs they sold. They will suffer extreme mental disorientation. When they come off the drug they will be rehabbed.
- I do not support legalization of marijuana. Marijuana should be licensed, but not made for the general public. There are many good things about cannabis. I support the legal fines for selling and distributing cigarettes, a much more serious health concern.
Jermano on Education - Cutting the military will strengthen education.
- Reduce University Tuition Fees by 40%.
- Reinstate Pell Grant and Student Work Programs
- I support home schooling, and Non-Accredited Schools.
- I do not support Accredited Schools, who have proven to not be what they claim to be.
- Reform to Accreditation will be to make them Non-Accreditation, because they have no authority to claim they hold the golden answer to Education in Society.
- All kids should have a computer.
- Class sizes will only be 10-12 students.
- No Guns education will be taught
- Classes on Jesus will be taught, along with moral issues as the basis to education.
- More online classes will be available. Student’s buildup online credentials and transcripts.
Jermano on Energy & Oil - Nuclear Energy will be saved for space exploration only.
- Global Warming is a major problem, Setup the Global Warming Agency/GWA
- Oil will be cut back to preserve for space exploration.
- Alternative fuels will be used. My Company SugarCityCane will be developed to grow Ethanol on the Ocean for the worlds supply.
- Sign the Kyoto protocol.
- Create many green jobs for the people.
- Research Development will go into further steam power generation for trucks, cars, buses, planes, trains, and ships, rockets, and new design space vehicles. The idea is to use battery power for producing steam, using steam to produce motion, and generate electricity.
- SugarCityCane will also stop big Trawling Fishing ships providing a sanctuary for fish to harbor under the acre size aqrafts growing the sugarcane.
Jermano on Environment Reduce CO2 emissions.Stop Global WarmingStop Dam buildingBuild more desalination plants in the USA, solar poweredBuild more desalination plants around the world Promote Alternative Energies to protect the Environment, Wind Power, and Solar. Do more Hydroponics Research, and implementation.
Protect lands for wildlife instead of converting to corn for Ethanol
Protect Ocean Fish by building SugarCityCane, a consortium Ethanol Organization that grows sugarcane on floating acre size rafts on the ocean; connected in series like a train for the pupose of making ethanol for the world market, not just the USA.
Jermano on Families & Children Families will have to pay Teacher taxes and are encouraged to home teach children. If they home parent teach they pay no Teacher taxes. Schools will ultimately become more like research centers, and sports activity centers. More jobs for home teachers will bring teachers to homes, instead of children to schools. All families do not have to pay property taxes. Jermano on Foreign Policy - US will reduce military expenditures. The US will withdraw troops from Iraq, and Afghanistan.
- Stop supporting Israel unless they work-out a real settlement with Palestine.
- USA will leave S. Korea, on the condition that North Korea agrees to stop nuclear processing.
- Encourage N. Korea to join the Worlds Space program, where nuclear testing can be done for space exploration. The goal is to build a nuclear plant on MARS.
- USA will leave Japan after all these years. We will stop being occupiers.
- The USA will help the people on the Kiribati Islands whom were the targets of our Nuclear testing during the Kennedy years. The USA dropped close to 40 test bombs, and we have done nothing for their cooperation. Japan who started the War in Asia was the target of two of our bombs in stopping WWII under the leadership of Harry Truman, and they have become the worlds 2nd largest economy. The Kiribati Republic is a remote and in dire poverty region. Global Warming threatens to swallow their homes by encroaching ocean water. Our goal is to support the Kiribati People with the help of Dr. Wolf Hilbertz Company BioRock Inc. They can build Islands in the Ocean.
- Also SugarCityCane will be there to grow Ethanol on Aquatic Rafts. Kiribati Islands will be our base of operations, for restoring the Islands and bringing to life a lost people, whom we have driven to; since WWII. It is shameful we have done this.
Jermano on Free Trade Nothing is really free. Depending on the issues, we work with all governments in the world to have equal trading. You do not get more of our markets unless we also share in yours. Our currency values need to be similar in order to have fair and equal trade. No currency adjustments, we can not trade. We will work on our end to try and make our currency lower to help you, but only when we feel it is right to do. NAFTA should be annulled. Ross Perot was wrong there is not a loud sucking sound from S. America; there is a huge migration shift as millions of illegals invade America. Jermano on Government Reform - Create National Health Care for all Americans. Then work with other governments in the world so they have health care too.
- Federal money will be used to finance campaigns. Big Bank rolls will not be allowed to be used in Presidential decisions or campaigns.
- People have the right to vote on laws. Congress will no longer have that sole right.
- Repeal the Electoral College; enact federal term limits.
- Allow citizens to make laws.
Jermano on Gun Control - Guns will be outlawed.
- Guns do not stop crime, they create it.
- Owning a gun will not prevent you from being killed or shot at.
- Owning a gun can not always stop a villain.
- Getting guns off the street makes it harder for people to get them.
- Police should have guns
- Hunters and Sportsman do not need guns.
- Forest Rangers can use them to control animal over-populations, but that is rare in this day and age.
- Be on the look out for Big Foot!
Jermano on Health Care . - Doctors make a mistake they pay to fix it. No frivolous lawsuits.
- Social Security can be used to help pay medical expenses at any age.
- Outlaw the selling of junk food. Force Private Restaurants to sell healthy food.
- All Employers will give enough money so people can buy their own Health Care Coverage.
- Employers also known as the Corporation will get a tax deduction for that money provided
- More take care of your own health care. Join Physical fitness clubs.
- Medicare and Medicaid will become part of the new American Health Care Plan, which helps people overcome their problems. Encourage Canadian and overseas medication prescriptions.
Jermano on Homeland Security - Dismantle nuclear weapons, and promote real security abroad.
- Do a complete re-investigation to 911
- Dismantle Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib prisons.
- Dismantle CIA, FBI, and Homeland Security
- Strengthen the United States Coast Guard, and give more money to Local Police Districts.
- States will have more police power and money to combat organized crime. The end to so called Federal Institutes such as the CIA and FBI, ATF, will commence.
- It is up to States to provide their own needed security, not the Federal Governments role to dictate law enforcement. If States disagree with each other our courts will handle the dispute, until resolved.
Jermano on Immigration - People have a right to immigrate to America. Also Americans have a right to immigrate to other countries. Illegal immigrants will have to pay fines for illegal entry. They will not be deported, but pay fines. If they wish to remain they can apply for citizenship after they paid their fines. Fines will be 5 times the amount to the cost for legal entry. I would like to see Mexico become the 51st State of the United States.
Jermano on Jobs All people have the right to have a job. Unemployment Insurance will be eliminated. The money paid will be used to create a job tax. If you lose your job, you can immediately have a new one. No more checks from Unemployment Insurance will be issued. This goes hand in hand with Welfare Reform. The Job tax will be provided to stimulate jobs throughout the country. It will be a State run organization in each state with each State having its own discretion to where the needed jobs will be established. This will expand the economy, knowing that our taxes create jobs for fellow Americans. Jermano on Principles & Values - People have the right to submit laws and vote for laws.
- Congressmen and lawyers help the people to submit for the law process.
- Senators also do their job by telling the people what benefit the laws will have.
- The President will not have the veto power to stop the passage of laws.
- The President can submit laws the same as the people will have.
- Congress can vote for laws, as long as the Public also is given the opportunity.
- Congress must have at least 30 % of the public vote in order to pass a law.
- People have the right to vote on the prices in the market place.
- No longer will Corporations dictate the price and establish their phony market prices
- People have the right to moral education, and the right to teach about Jesus in Schools
- Media has to cover and provide coverage for laws being made by the people.
- Media will no longer be in control of what is news, and not allowed to always support the present Presidents policies. There will be balance in News-reporting and broadcasting.
- Large News Conglomerates or Organizations can not buy out other News Organizations to stop their opposing views.
Jermano on Social Security - Social Security can not be used to pay America’s deficit.
- Let beneficiaries leave surplus funds to heirs.
- Social Security can be used to pay medical costs.
- There will be the Children’s Social Security Fund. Children will receive this by a portion of the Teachers Taxes their parents pay. The age is from 1- 18 years. This covers medical expenses, and issues in concern to children well being. Clothes, Food, Shelter. No child will be abandoned.
- Taxes from the Rich will also be apportioned to this new Social Security Fund for Children.
Jermano on Tax Reform - Rich People will pay more taxes. Poor people will pay less.
- Home Property taxes abolished.
- No National Sales Tax.
- Supports a States Sales Tax to replace IRS.
- Repeal the income tax and close down the IRS.
- American people not responsible for the debt created by the military, they are.

China and Russia are not going to get involved with the Middle East. China's only concern is China. They are not hegemonists, only the belief of self defense. China does not want war, and does not want interference in their countries interior affairs. Russia is the same, except they will make a buck by selling and making weapons deals with countries such as Indonesia. If war broke out with Iran, I suspect Russia will support Iran with weapons, but not men in the field. China and Russia have all the Oil supplies they need. They don't need Iraq Oil or Saudi Oil. China will always drag its feet in concern to world affairs especially with war or inviting them to the front. They are and will not join the bandwagon. Myself included.
Everyone knows this is not about the USA and fighting Iraq. It is really about the security of Israel. If they can drive a wedge to prove Israels right to Arab land, and to make the Arabs docile Native American Indians, then they become the dominant power in the region.
Someday Saudi Arabia is going to wake up and take back their blacksheep, Osama and together with Iran, Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, and possibly Egypt forge a new Arab Alliance, and work against US and Israeli interests in the Region. They are going to realize that neither country has Oil resources, and the only reason they exist is to find means to sucking and taking their oil resources. They do this by inciting human right abuses, while stealing Arab Land. And once they establish their form of governance, Arabs will become like grains of sand, something to walk on, spit on, and blown in the wind. Arabs will have nothing.
I wouldn't be surprised if Saudi Arabia doesn't make the bomb next, not Iran. It wouldn't take much, and it would be an October surprise to Israel. George Bush would be boxed in with Iraq sucking them to the bone over the past 16 years, the threat of Iran getting the bomb, and then Saudi Arabia awakening to the fact they have been duped by the USA, who doesn't need their Oil now, because they take it freely from Iraq.
I think major strategy shifts will develop. Saudi Arabia will learn it needs to hang onto its Oil supply, no matter the price of OPEC.
Violence will escalate in Iraq with pipelines targeted, making Iraq another Israeli Palestine hotspot that will go on for years. Then the waiting game on who runs out of Oil first Saudi Arabia or Iraq reserves. With the bombing of Iraq pipelines the reserves will last, until the Arab Alliance brokers a deal to buy Iraq reserves, and literally close the western door in the region. If Saudi Arabia gains Iraqi crude Israel is going to be hoping for more than Olive branches to sort this out. With Israel having the bomb, and Iran gaining to get one, then Saudi Arabia gets one, there is going to be one big show down in the future.
