Welcome aboard the Iraqi gravy train
Congratulations to all the winners of tickets to take part in the greatest
rebuilding show on earth
Terry Jones,
The Observer (UK)
Sunday April 13, 2003
Well the war has been a huge success, and I guess it's time for
congratulations all round. And wow! It's hard to know where to begin.
First, I'd like to congratulate Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR) and the Bechtel
Corporation, which are the construction companies most likely to benefit
from the reconstruction of Iraq. Contracts in the region of $1 billion
should soon coming your way, chaps. Well done! And what with the US
dropping 15,000 precision-guided munitions, 7,500 unguided bombs and 750
cruise missiles on Iraq so far and with more to come, there's going to be
a lot of reconstruction. It looks like it could be a bonanza year.
Of course, we all know that KBR is the construction side of Halliburton,
and it has been doing big business with the military ever since the Second
World War. Most recently, it got the plum job of constructing the prison
compound for terrorists suspects at Guantanamo Bay. Could be a whole lot
more deluxe chicken coops coming your way in the next few months, guys.
Stick it to 'em.
I'd also like to add congratulations to Dick Cheney, who was chief
executive of Halliburton from 1995 to 2000, and who currently receives a
cheque for $1 million a year from his old company. I guess he may find
there's a little surprise bonus in there this year. Well done, Dick.
Congratulations, too, to former Secretary of State, George Schultz. He's
not only on the board of Bechtel, he's also chairman of the advisory board
of the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, a group with close ties to
the White House committed to reconstructing the Iraqi economy through war.
You're doing a grand job, George, and I'm sure material benefits will be
coming your way, as sure as the Devil lives in Texas.
Oh, before I forget, a big round of appreciation for Jack Sheehan, a
retired general who sits on the Defence Policy Board which advises the
Pentagon. He's a senior vice president at Bechtel and one of the many
members of the Defence Policy Board with links to companies that make
money out of defence contracts. When I say 'make money' I'm not joking.
Their companies have benefited to the tune of $76bn just in the last year.
Talk about a gravy train. Well, Jack, you and your colleagues can
certainly look forward to a warm and joyous Christmas this year.
It's been estimated that rebuilding Iraq could cost anything from $25bn to
$100bn and the great thing is that the Iraqis will be paying for it
themselves out of their future oil revenues. What's more, President Bush
will be able to say, with a straight face, that they're using the money
from Iraqi oil to benefit the Iraqi people. 'We're going to use the assets
of the people of Iraq, especially their oil assets, to benefit their
people,' said Secretary of State Colin Powell, and he looked really
sincere. Yessir.
It's so neat it makes you want to run out and buy shares in Fluor. As one
of the world's biggest procurement and construction companies, it recently
hired Kenneth J. Oscar, who, as acting assistant secretary of the army,
took care of the Pentagon's $35bn-a-year procurement budget. So there
could also be some nice extra business coming its way soon. Bully for
them.
But every celebration has its serious side, and I should like to convey my
condolences to all those who have suffered so grievously in this war.
Particularly American Airlines, Qantas and Air Canada, and all other
travel companies which have seen their customers dwindle, as fear of
terrorist reprisals for what the US and Britain have done in Iraq begins
to bite.
My condolences also to all those British companies which have been
disappointed in their bid to share in the bonanza that all this wonderful
high-tech military firepower has created. I know it must be frustrating
and disheartening for many of you, especially in the medical field,
knowing there are all those severed limbs, all that burnt flesh, all those
smashed skulls, broken bones, punctured spleens, ripped faces and mangled
children just crying out for your products.
You could be making a fortune out of the drugs, serums and surgical
hardware, and yet you have to stand on the sidelines and watch as US drug
companies make a killing.
Well, Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian President, has some words of comfort for
us all. As he recently pointed out, this adventure by Bush and Blair will
have created such hatred throughout the Arab world, that 100 new bin
Ladens will have been created.
So all of us here in Britain, as well as in America, shouldn't lose heart.
Once the Arab world starts to take its revenge, there should be enough
reconstruction to do at home to keep business thriving for some years to
come.

"Operation Shekhinah a.k.a. Operation Iraqi Freedom"
April 17, 2003
http://www.joevialls.co.uk/subliminalsuggestion/oil2.html
When Part One of Operation Shekhinah was first published in January 2002, it was viewed by
many as a work of complete fiction. “Where is the proof,” my mainly Jewish critics asked,
“that Israel intends to illegally invade Iraq and steal its strategic oil reserves?”
At the time, I asked everyone to examine the evidence and reach their own conclusions,
because I was not yet ready to divulge the fact that this critical intelligence was sourced
directly from the offices of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. I had every intention
of living long enough to write this sequel, an ambition that may have been thwarted by
Israel if I had revealed my source at that early stage.
Those readers wishing to review part one should click on the links at the top or bottom of
this page, but in summary, the March 2001 Israeli operational planning envisaged a lightning
strike on southern Iraq, followed by captured oil supplies being back-flowed to Haifa via
the existing Trans Arabian Pipeline [Tapline].
Possible protests by the “International Community” about the Blitzkrieg were to be stifled
by the Zionist-controlled media in New York and Washington, DC, who would explain patiently
that this was merely a surgical strike against the “Evil Tyrant Saddam Hussein”.
Shekhinah planning accelerated through the northern summer of 2001, with a firm invasion
date set for 2 October 2001, the first day of a seven-day Jewish holiday, and thus a most
unlikely time to expect an Israeli attack. Then, as if from nowhere, the Zionist-banking
center in New York was razed to the ground on 11 September 2001.
At a single stroke, the World Trade Center attack removed Shekhinah’s reserve funding and
its critical equipment supply from America, including a large number of F15 Strike Eagle
ground attack aircraft, instantly relegating the premeditated Israeli invasion of Iraq to
the back burner.
Thwarted in this first attempt to expand their territory to a “Greater Israel” stretching
east to the Iranian border, the Zionists were forced to find another way of gaining control
of Iraq’s oil reserves. So in early April 2002, George W. Bush was programmed to start
attacking the “Evil Tyrant Saddam Hussein” and his fictional “Weapons of Mass Destruction”
on television.
With the Israeli-Jewish lobby pressing all the right buttons, George Dubya completely
redefined the term “megalomania’, occasionally dribbling spittle down his shirt front as
he made countless speeches aimed at directing hatred towards the Iraqi President.
Without their knowledge or consent, American and other “Coalition” troops, and countless
Iraqi citizens were about to be sacrificed on the high altar of Zion. As the fresh-faced
youngsters took up their positions for the fight ahead, most did so believing that this was
a heroic western effort to rid the world of “Weapons of Mass Destruction”, while a cynical
minority nodded sagely, muttering under their breath that America really wanted to steal
Iraq’s oil reserves.
As this report proves with hard evidence, both claims are completely false. On the weapons
side, UN Chief Inspector Hans Blix had already made it very clear to the Security Council
that, in his view, Iraq no longer possessed any long range Scud missiles, nor any viable
chemical or biological weapons. By the time American-British-Australian invasion forces
had cluster-bombed their way to the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, this first reality had become
became self-evident. Though defensive chemical warfare suits and atropine antidotes were
found in plenty, clearly positioned to protect Iraqi troops from an [expected] American VX
nerve gas attack, there were no Iraqi “Weapons of Mass Destruction” to be found.
That leaves American domination and theft of Iraqi oil, right? No, it does not. The
American and British oil multinationals already have enough oil and gas reserves for their
needs in various countries around the world, without taking on a hostile country recognized
in oilfield geopolitical terms as a Russian client. Oil is a strategic military asset, and
the American oil multinationals knew then, and they still know now, that taking this insane
Iraqi road could easily lead to World War III.
Forget any and all television ramblings by “Texan Oilman” George Bush, who would have
trouble distinguishing between an oil wellhead and a retail gas pump. Like most politicians,
George has grabbed seats on the boards of a couple of minor oil companies for the cash
benefits, but that is all. The problem for George, is that he has so far failed to provide
a valid American motive for Operation Iraqi Freedom.
All crimes including the illegal invasion of a sovereign nation like Iraq, require
opportunity, motive and method. Any policeman on the street will happily confirm this.
Out of these three criteria, motive is by far the most important, for without it the crime
would not be committed in the first place. A drug addict is motivated to steal by an
uncontrollable need for narcotics, and a car thief is motivated to steal by the need to
convert identifiable goods into anonymous cash.
The Israeli-Jewish lobby’s motive for the original Operation Shekhinah, and latterly for
Operation Iraqi Freedom, was and is based on the certainty that the American economy and
social structure is in steep decline. Unless the Israel-Jewish lobby could somehow find a
massive independent income stream, the parasitic Jewish State would completely collapse in
less than a decade. We will examine this harsh reality later in the report.
