Unocal pipeline conspiracy
I recently found out about the Unocal pipeline conspiracy (why am I always the last to know about these things?) in which some Army guys let the cat out of the bag to Henry Rollins on a USO tour that they were actually in Afghanistan to protect the interests of the pipeline, not democracy.

This just gets better and better! I wake up this morning to find out that we have officially re-opened our US embassy in Libya. So I started digging. I distinctly remembered the US media suggesting that Saddam had outsourced his WMD production to Libya when he knew the UN was going to inspect his country. A story that was quickly quelled I might add. This, incidentally was the reason that no WMD’s were found in Iraq. Go here for those details http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1219953/posts. Follow the chain with me…on September 7, 2001 this was posted on the WorldNetDaily “Libya recently issued a warning to U.S. oil companies, giving them one year to resume business or lose their operating licenses. Tripoli wants to pressure Washington to suspend or lift unilateral sanctions. Failing this, Libya is laying the groundwork for the expropriation of U.S. concessions and their resale to Asian, European and Russian oil companies.” Next, in 2004, the US and Britain began to get oil from Libya again when Libya ditched its WMD program and handed over all its chemical weapons, which in actuality were Saddam’s weapons. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/3777561.stm) Lastly, this article talks about the mad dash to renew contracts in 2005 as Asia, Russia and other Eastern countries rush into Libya. (http://www.rigzone.com/news/article.asp?a_id=26087) Confused? Let me spell it out for you – Just days before 9/11, Libya pressures the US to lift sanctions. Our government knew about the possible terrorist attack but ALLOWS it to happen. Why? Well, we already knew that Saddam and Libya were in bed together. Halliburton needed Afghanistan to have a stable and recognized government (http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/oil.html) in order to go forth with the Unocal pipeline. They also need stable/western friendly governments in Iraq, Iran and Pakistan to traffic oil without a hitch from the newly found reserves in the Caspian Sea. So now, thanks to the death of thousands of innocent people, we have an enemy;the Taliban. We take them out and move on to Saddam. We take him out and get twice the oil because now we have forced Libya’s hand. They HAVE to surrender the goods/weapons because they fear reprisal. They also go ahead and make a payoff for the Lockerbie incident and wham bam, sanctions lifted and all is forgiven. Now broke, Libya needs cash, cash that will be generated from the operating licenses and oil reserves untapped for years due to the sanctions.
Condi Rice says, “We’re done talking to Iran.” Which means they may be next if they don’t cooperate? And Pakistan? They’re so scared we already have them in our back pocket. So I’m officially going on record as the first Republican to say- THIS WAR IS ABOUT MONEY!!
The sad part is that it won’t matter if the Democrats are in because they are just as dirty. Don’t kid yourself into believing a vote for either party is going to change foreign policy, because its not! This train is barreling down a set of tracks put in motion since the Bush Sr. admin and through the Clinton admin. Oh, by the way, just hours after the US opened its embassy in Libya, the price of oil per barrel dropped below 70$.
Am I completely crazy or does this make sense to anyone else out there?
This independent study report also inlcudes some fascinating information on the Caspian issue and explains it in more detail.
