Oil interests flout International Law in Balkans

fish | 11.06.2007 08:07 | Analysis | Globalisation | Other Press | World

Republican president Bush follows Democrat president Clinton’s course in the Balkans; oil pipelines and gas supplies take precedence over every other consideration including international law and the sanctity of human life. Bush has challenged Russia, Serbia and International Law by announcing during his recent visit to Albania that Kosovo, a Serbian province, would become independent in the near future, negotiations must result in “certain independence ... that’s what’s important to know”, he said! Bush’s grammatically woeful statements beg the question, why the need for negotiation if the Texan president insists that independence is “certain” for Kosovo -- which remains Serbian sovereign territory?

Bush is the most unpopular (therefore unrepresentative) US president since Nixon, yet this Texan imbecile attempts to dictate policy halfway across the globe! In whose interests does this almost universally reviled person act? On whose behalf does he arrogantly flout international law, insisting that he is able to alter national borders in Europe? Surely the singular direction taken by (Democrat) Clinton and followed by (Republican) Bush in the Balkans reveals the puppet nature of government in today’s world – the real rulers are those interests who dictate policy and that policy relates to oil and gas!

Do these corporate interests give a damn for national borders, sovereign nations, human life, etc; in view of recent military invasions and the establishment of U.S. bases in Afghanistan, Central Asia, Middle East, Kosovo and the resulting horrendous loss of innocent lives – it would appear we are dealing with a powerful criminal organisation – Al Capone once alluded to the fact that big business interests dwarf all other criminal enterprises!

Today we are dealing with criminal corporations who utilise governments and their militaries to appropriate resources regardless of law, human casualties or any other factors that obstruct their criminal endeavours. The only deterrent these interests understand is the same physical/military force they utilise themselves, violence! It is little wonder that oppressed peoples around the globe are retaliating.

American intervention in the Balkans reeks of criminal enterprise. From the first days of the Balkan war the U.S. pursued its agenda for the region. It illegally supplied arms to secessionist groups, this it did in flagrant contravention of UN and NATO protocols (see link). The U.S. intervened wherever it could to remove regimes that opposed its neo-colonial expansionism and its plan to install strategic (weapons) systems against other superpowers.

The ideology behind all this loss of life and militarism reduces to a word – PROFIT – in whose name everything is destroyed, including the lives of babes. We all do well to identify the monstrous beast that feeds on the blood of children. There is no mistaking the real identity of the vilest, child murdering, money-worshipping rogue force known to mankind AND identifying the nations and the many religions that serve it! How adept this monster is at disguising its real identity and intentions – its real name however, is DEATH and its course is DESOLATION yet the world worships at its hindquarters; individuals toil for this beast daily and know it not!

It is time to realise what lies behind the puppet leaders and their murdering armies of death and destruction and it’s time to target the many heads, in the many boardrooms throughout the world where this beast exudes its vile and evil influence.

The monster itself must be targeted, NOT its servants in the form of puppet governments. The faceless directors lurking in their glass and steel towers constitute the greatest threat to life on earth today.

The largest structures rest on a few foundation stones. Do not be deceived, the beast's underbelly is soft and able to be pierced by a child.
