woah woah woah....whats going on??

Islaamic extremists, who can hold their breath a real, real long time, in an attempt to heist our freedoms, swam down to those cables, gnawed through them with their extremely sharp bicuspids and so now you know who done it.

Now everyone go back to sleep.

A counter argument to the iranian oil bourse hysteria and some good background reading. Not sure who to believe but this is a good read.


excerpt....

As Michael Hudson explains in his brilliant and too-little-studied work Super Imperialism, the perverse genius of the US global dollar hegemony was the realization, in the months after August 1971, that US power under a fiat dollar system was directly tied to the creation of dollar debt. The US debt and the trade deficit were not the "problem", they realized. They were the "solution".

The US could print endless quantities of dollars to pay for foreign imports of Toyotas, Hondas, BMWs or other goods in a system in which the trading partners of the United States, holding paper dollars for their exports, feared a dollar collapse enough to continue to support the dollar by buying US Treasury bonds and bills. In fact in the 30 years since abandoning gold exchange for paper dollars, the US dollars in reserve have risen by a whopping 2,500%, and the amount grows at double-digit rates today.

This system continued into the 1980s and 1990s unchallenged. US policy was one of crisis management coupled with skillful and coordinated projection of US military power. Japan in the 1980s, fearful of antagonizing its US nuclear-umbrella provider, bought endless volumes of US Treasury debt even though it lost a king's ransom in the process. It was a political, not an investment, decision.

All of the oil bourse stories are so old (2+ years). Is it possible that today's shaky economy is INFINITELY more at risk than it was? And does this mean our leaders will take drastic and stupid measures to prevent a catastrophe?

 

[Falseflagop]

When you have 4 undersea cables cut, its is INTENTIONAL, add the fact that the US BANKS are now NEGATIVE RESERVES (If a Bank run starts watch out 1929 will look awful!)

And add the OIL BOURSE the writing is on the wall !!

 

[pcosmar]

Some interesting stuff, but it has been going on a lot longer than any are considering.
I remember the "Hostage crisis" in 79. I remember what we were told then, the radical students that took over, a coup, the anti American hostilities etc.
What I did not know is how WE started it. By WE , I mean our CIA and British intelegence at the order of Oil Interests.
Operation AJAX. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Ajax

As much as everyone loves to Blame Bush, this goes much farther and started long before his time.
This goes back to the man(or men) behind the curtain.
Same players, same game.

 

[Falseflagop]

Not Good!

Here is a new story to add to the pack?

Oil Bourse + Undersea Cable's cut + US Bank having Negative Reserves + this = BAD Sh-t brewing imho

This may have something to do with it...it was supposed to open today according to the below article.

Further information about the ramifications about the oil Bourse

http://www.energybulletin.net/12125.html

Forgetting about the cables for a moment - The second link is a must read! Really eye opening for anyone wondering about the true motives for these most recent wars, as well as the potential future war with Iran.

As for whether the cut cables are somehow related to our interests as descvibed in the article, this excerpt almost seemed to predict it, so I wouldn't rule it out:

Americans cannot allow this to happen, and if necessary, will use a vast array of strategies to halt or hobble the operation’s exchange:

· Sabotaging the Exchange—this could be a computer virus, network, communications, or server attack, various server security breaches, or a 9-11-type attack on main and backup facilities.

And see Wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_Oil_Bourse

July 2007 Iran asked Japan to pay for its oil purchases in Japanese Yen.[15]

September 2007 Japan's Nippon Oil has agreed to buy Iranian oil using yen. [16]

December 2007 Iran stops accepting U.S. dollars for oil. [17]

January 2008 Iran's Finance Minister Davoud Danesh-Jafari told reporters the bourse will be inaugurated during the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution (February 1-11) at the latest. [18]

Cut Internet communication cables SABOTAGE?

From Earthfiles reporting on the 4th undersea fiber optic cable cut:

"Cause? With public communications cut off in Iran and other Middle East regions, a geopolitical speculation is that cutting major undersea fiber optic communication cables is deliberate sabotage before some unknown upcoming event in the Middle East or elsewhere."

IF this were the case, this would cut off all communications between our troops there with the mainland, and it MIGHT be a prelude to that "major event" the Neo-Cons are looking for to distract the Revolution; I think if these events occurred, the Revolution would be turning its eyes on Washington D.C.

This series of events is really beyond coincidence. C3C for military operations is totally separate from routine global communications carried via the internet. Why would someone deliberately cut FO cables carrying international communications, e.g. video (real time transmission of images of death and destruction, perhaps, which lies outside the control of the MSM), etc? If a country is simply going to conduct conventional operations, why go to the trouble to sever these cables? The prospect makes me uneasy. Prayerfully, nothing will come of this series of events, but I just feel uneasy.

 

[DAFTEK]

Why isn't the Media reporting this?

 

[wirenut]

This doesn't look good at all.

 

[Computer]

Why isn't the Media reporting this?

I'm going to nudge you a little further in your awakening. For all practical intents and purposes on issues that matter, like the coming surveillance state, there is no media.

Repeat that, there is no media.

There is only a propaganda arm of the US Federal Governement, which is controlled, in secret, by a very few, select, powerful and permanent factions.

There is no fucking media!

 

[mayavision2012]

No, doesn't look good....especially with "super duper" primaries being tomorrow. But, whatever happens (or doesn't), the Revolution can only get stronger and more determined to take back our country and our world.

When this news first broke, I was a little worried; however, time has passed and if this was the beginning of something big, that something big would have already happened. If it was intentional, then whatever purpose it was meant to serve has been served. Delay of the oil bourse? perhaps...

Why is the cutting of the cables continuing, then? At least to me, this operation apparently is still underway.

You just havn't thought about it enough. Consider this, the intelligence agencies now have a golden opportunity to cut the lines at other points and install devices which will record and transmit all future transmissions directly to NSA headquarters.
