The Iraqi War:
It's not about the oil, stupid!

Representative David Duke at Al-Jazeera Satellite Network in Qatar

I just returned from Bahrain and Qatar. In Qatar I appeared on one of
the most-watched television satellite channels in the world, Al-Jazeera.
An audience of 70 million saw and listened to me expose the Jewish
supremacist traitors in the U.S. Government who have sold out America to
Israel. In violation of the United States Constitution, the
Jewish-dominated U.S. State Department actually protested my appearance
and tried to suppress my freedom of speech as an American citizen. More
on that a little later, but first, I want to turn to one of the big lies
about the coming war on Iraq, that lie is that Big Oil interests, rather
than the Zionists, are behind the planned war.

The Zionists are masters at deception. Like the bait-and-switch sales
tactics of American retail giants, some elements of the Jewish-dominated
media in America have floated the idea that the coming war in Iraq is
about oil. Sounding like a genuine dissident viewpoint, some patriots
have unwittingly help spread this myth. One antiwar pundit adopted this
theory and headlined, "It's about oil, stupid!"

These claims were originated simply to deflect the blame for the war
from Israel and its fifth column in America. The warmongers anxiously
want this war NOT to appear to be the result of the Israeli Fifth Column
trying to strike down Israel's enemies one by one. By floating the idea
that the war is about oil, a resource vital to America and Europe, the
suggestion is that somehow it is in America's and Europe's economic
interest to invade Iraq. The implication is that the war will somehow
allow us to grab the oil, and so it will be good for the economy and the
common man. Of course, the idea that we will just grab the oil is simply
preposterous. Whatever new regime is in charge of Iraq will sell the oil
at normal world spot prices!

A lot of good antiwar people have been deceived by this tactic, and are
parroting the idea that it is big Oil that really behind this war. The
Bush family ties to the oil industry are often cited in this scenario.
And frankly, it is one thousand times easier in America to speak about
conspiracies of the big bad Oil companies than to speak of the more open
and more obvious Jewish conspiracies. Talk about big Oil conspiracies
and some will call you wrong, but no one will accuse you of the great
blasphemy of our age, the most evil of all heresies: so-called
"anti-Semitism."

But really, does big Oil or America have a strong economic motivation
for this war? A few obvious facts coupled with plain, old-fashioned
reason will show you that the war against Iraq holds no real advantage
for big Oil, in fact it offers them much peril. As far as concerning
American and European economic interests at large, the war in Iraq will
have devastating consequences, to say nothing of causing anti-American
political unrest and horrendous terrorism.
Today, I will exam the economic consequences of the Iraqi war. The first
question is "Do we have to go to war with Iraq to get its oil?" The
answer is: "Of course we don't." We bought oil from Saddam Hussein
before the Gulf War, and we can buy it now. If America, by this war,
makes a regime change in Iraq, the American government is not simply
going to pump the oil out of the ground and put the proceeds in our
treasury. Those in political control in Iraq will still control the oil
and still sell it to the world at the international prevailing spot oil
prices.

And let me make this very clear, Iraq has the second largest oil
reserves in the world. Giving Iraqi oil easier access to the world's
markets will, after the flurry of wartime higher oil prices, eventually
depress the price of oil. What does this mean to the big American and
European oil companies who have the great bulk of their oil investments
in the United States (such as in Texas, Louisiana and Alaska), in the
North Sea, in Russia and in South America? Opening up the Iraqi market
(and Iraq will need to sell huge quantities of oil after the war
devastation) will ultimately mean, bottom line, depressed prices for oil
reserves that Big Oil actually owns! The war will not help their profits
but in the long run only hurt them. That is why Russia, a nation with
large oil reserves but less Jewish influence, rightly opposes the war,
knowing it will ultimately hurt their own oil business.

So, in the final analysis, Big Oil has no long-term interest in the
overthrow of Saddam. And it must be admitted that Big Oil has no strong
interest in normalizing relations with Iraq either. For if America
normalizes relations with the current Iraqi regime, the oil will flow
freely, just as it would if sanctions lifted after a so-called regime
change. Either way, regime change or normalized relations would not
necessarily be good for the Big Oil companies.
However, more oil on the market and resulting lower prices would be
incredibly good for the American and European economy. Energy costs are
one of the biggest expenses of our economy and civilization. Lower
energy costs translate into lower prices, more money for wages, schools,
and the other needs of society. If 30% of a company's expenses are
energy related, and energy costs fall by a third, that company's
revenues increase by 20 percent. That's more money for wages, and also
somewhat lower prices that help everyone's standard of living.

Imagine if we offered to end the war and sanctions against Saddam and
normalize relations in exchange for special lower oil prices for the
next decade. Obviously, Saddam would jump at that opportunity

So, if Europe and America wants Iraqi oil and wants it at good prices,
we can easily get it by ending sanctions against Iraq and returning to
the quite cozy relationship we had before the Gulf War. And, if we
demanded UN inspections and disarmament of BOTH Iraq and Israel for
their weapons of mass destruction, suddenly the Israeli fifth column
would quiet their demands against Iraq, because Israel is far more
committed to their illegal weapons of mass destruction than is Iraq.
Iraq has now ok'd inspections. I can't even imagine Israel ever doing
that!

On the other hand, a regime change would also certainly open up the oil
pipelines, but after the change there would not be the motivation to
negotiate as good an oil price as with the Saddam government. Iraq has a
tremendous incentive to make a very good oil deal for us right now. Once
the regime changes, the incentive is gone. Look at recent history. We
certainly cannot and will not force a new regime to give us bargain
prices for oil. As always, in normal times oil will be bought and sold
on the international oil market. But now, of course, we a very special
case, America has a lot of leverage to make a deal with Saddam Hussein:
a deal he couldn't refuse!

In terms of the European and American economy, the Iraqi War can be
catastrophic. Right now our economies are weak and struggling. The
temporary spike in oil prices and the enormous expenditures of such a
war can destroy our fragile economy and push us into a terrible world
depression. Perhaps even more importantly, an American invasion would be
throwing gasoline on the already glowing fires of terrorism throughout
the Mideast. We already have learned the lesson that terrorism can have
a terrible impact not only on lives, but also on our economy. Look what
it has done to transportation and tourist industry and the ripple effect
across the entire economic spectrum.

One more note, if Western economies and businesses suffer, then the
biggest consumers of oil and oil related energy also suffer. Thus, the
demands of our economy for oil falls, and if less oil is consumed,
prices fall further and again -- the Big Oil companies are harmed. And
don't forget that most of the Big Oil companies are now quite
diversified. They have huge investments in all kinds of businesses in
Europe and America. They also will be devastated by a suffering economy.

Before parroting the canard that Big Oil wants this war, think about all
the facts at hand. If our attack on Iraq causes fundamentalist
revolutions across the Arab world, what happens to the billions of
dollars of Big Oil's current investments in the Mideast, such as in
Saudi Arabia where Western oil companies have enormous investment? Is it
in their advantage to have those businesses possibly taken over by new
and radically anti-American governments?
No, it's not the oil, stupid!! It's Israel! It is Israel and the Jewish
supremacists around the world who are the real force behind this war.

It's the traitors in the United States government and in the media who
will sacrifice American lives, security and economic well-being in order
to support the criminal activities of Israel and its mass-murderer,
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

As I have repeatedly documented in the Duke Report, Israel has even
committed terrorism against America. Even the Israeli government had to
admit this in the Lavon Affair! Of course, the Jewish media doesn't talk
about Israeli terrorism against America, doesn't allow Americans to get
angry about it, and it doesn't even oppose the flow of American money to
Israel after it attacked the USS Liberty and killed and maimed American
sailors by the score. Even our secretary of state said the attack on the
USS Liberty was clearly a deliberate act against the United States!

After Israeli terrorist attacks against America and after Israel spies
such as Jonathan Pollard devastated our spy network in Eastern Europe,
billions of American dollars just kept flowing to Israel!

Our Jewish-controlled government and media won't even address the
copious evidence showing Israeli complicity in the 911 attack. The WTC
had an Israeli co-owner and was at the center of world Jewish finance
and trade, but inexplicably did not have even a single Israeli casualty.
This amazing fact flies in the face of the fact that the Jerusalem Post
stated on the next day after September 11 that about 4000 Israelis
citizens were believed to be in the area of the World Trade Center. We
are supposed to believe in a modern Jewish miracle equal to the parting
of the Red Sea. We are supposed to believe that not one Israeli
casuality is possible without advanced warning to at least some of the
Israelis. Anyone who thinks seriously about the matter and reviews the
evidence will learn of the Israeli treachery in 911. But, again, the
Jewish-controlled media and government never let the public focus on
these things.

Newsweek magazine dated November 25th in the Periscope section decried
my recent lecture tour in Bahrain and my appearance on the Arab
Al-Jazeera satellite network. Here is an excerpt from its Jewish
journalist:


But U.S. officials are keeping an eye on Al-Jazeera's programs, which
sometimes include anti-U.S. rhetoric and conspiracy theories packaged as
news. One example: on Nov. 13, a talk show featured former Ku Klux Klan
leader David Duke , who was labeled as an ex-GOP representative from
Louisiana (Duke once served in the Louisiana House of Representatives).
Duke used the air time to vent an assortment of anti-Semitic canards,
saying Israel sat on warnings of 9-11, and Israelis in the Twin Towers
were warned to evacuate two hours before the attacks. The State
Department lodged a protest with Al-Jazeera over the Duke broadcast.

First, the article implies I wasn't a GOP official. Of course, I
amindeed an ex-GOP official. After I served in the House of
Representatives, I was elected to the executive committee of the largest
Republican district in Louisiana and then unanimously chosen by the
other members of the elected Republican committee as Chairman for St.
Tammany Parish from 1996 to 2000.

Next, the article acknowledges the incredible fact that the U.S.
Government protested my appearing on the Arab satellite network. My
question is: who gave the U.S. State Department authority to officially
protest against an American citizen criticizing Israel on a
international television talk show. Since when does the American
government have the authority or the right to infringe upon the free
speech of an American citizen? Isn't such an attempt bythe American
government to suppress my freedom of speech a clear and obvious
violation of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights?

If they can attempt to infringe on my free speech, they can do it to any
American citizen. They can do it to anyone who dares to expose the
crimes of Israel. Of course, what the Jewish supremacists really fear is
my exposing the anti-American treason going on inside the United States
government itself! When the American people learn the truth about this
naked treason there will be hell to pay.

Newsweek also said that my facts exposing Israeli treachery in 911 is
quote, "an anti-Semitic canard," unquote. Of course, Jewish supremacists
in the American press suggest official Saudi involvement in 911, that's
no problem. In fact, there is now a wholesale attack by the Jewish press
in America on Saudi Arabia because a Saudi Princess helped pay for the
medical expenses of an injured Arab woman. It turned out she was the
wife of a Saudi man who is alleged to have been later involved in the
hijacking. Even though this not even remotely proves official Saudi
involvement in 911, no media personalities refer to allegations of Saudi
government involvement in 911 as an "anti-Arab" or as an "anti-Semitic
canard" (Arabs are, of course, a Semitic people). But if you dare to lay
out the clear and copious evidence of past Israeli terrorism against
America and Israel's obvious foreknowledge of the attacks of 911, then
you are automatically labeled "anti-Semitic," probably the most hateful
and onerous title that can be conferred on a human being.

The Jewish supremacist's power is unique, and it is enormous. Its fifth
column of traitors in America ultimately caused the attack on the World
Trade Center by leading America to blindly support the criminal and
murderous regime of Ariel Sharon and Israel. Then, in 911, after warning
a number of Israeli citizens of the impending attack, Israeli agents
treacherously let this horrendous attack go on to serve their own
murderous ends in the Mideast. Israeli Mossad agents were even caught
and arrested shortly after filming and cheering during the actual
attacks on the WTC!

And now these traitors sponsor and push for a massive escalation of the
war on Iraq. It is a war that can only hurt America in every conceivable
way. It will devastate our economy, our security, our freedoms. The war
in Iraq is not in America's interest, it is not even in the interests of
Big Bad Oil. It's not the oil, stupid!!!! It's the Jews! The only ones
who have a true interest in this war are the Jewish supremacists and
their well-rewarded servants, such as George Bush!

We must continue to educate our people on this vital point. The most
important issue of our time is the Jewish supremacy over our media, our
government, our economy, our culture, our future. They are leading us to
utter ruin. It is not just Palestine that is occupied by Jewish
supremacists; it is New York and Washington D.C. It is not just the West
Bank of the river Jordan they occupy; it is the East Bank of the
Potomac! I told Arab television that the main difference between the
West Bank Palestinians and the Average American, is that the average
American does know that his nation is occupied.

If you truly believe in freedom and justice, you will join me in
opposing their power. I will continue to tell the truth about this no
matter how much the government tries to discredit and silence me. I, as
much as anyone, realize that there is a great risk to opposing their
power, but I will not rest until I do my small part stop this naked
treason against the American people. And, as a truly patriotic American,
I will not agree to my country being immorally used to support the
criminal and murderous policies of Israel. While we still can: let's
prevent this anti-American war, a war that can only hurt America, this
Jewish-supremacist war against Iraq.

Won't you stand up with me for truth and justice? Won't you stand up
with me for America!

Sincerely, David Duke

David Duke
