Many of our wars are centered around OIL.
OIL is Power... the power to control
societies.
Read of OPEC's Fading Power
.. March 7-2002
The reason is simple: member countries control a much
less significant share of the world's total oil supplies than
previously.
Non-Opec countries such as Russia, Norway and
Mexico have ramped up production while new
flows of oil fields have been discovered in Africa
and South America.
While Opec still controls more than half of the world's crude oil
exports, the world league of top-10 oil producers now contains
just three Opec members.

Haiti is among about a score of countries that maintain
diplomatic relations with Taiwan rather than China, and Beijing's
move could be a part of a decades-long struggle with its rival
for Third World influence.
The United Nations has investigated China's police practices amid
complaints about arbitrary detentions and torture,

Nearly 2,000 U.S. troops to the Philippines--Feb 21, 2003
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 — The United States will send nearly
2,000 troops to Philippines in the next few weeks to fight Muslim
extremists in the southern part of the country, Pentagon
officials said today.
Unlike a six-month training mission that involved 1,300
American forces on Basilan Island last year, this will be
a joint operation with the Philippine military that has no fixed
deadline. It marks a significant escalation in the war
against terror even as the United States builds up for a possible
war against Iraq and continues to hunt for Al Qaeda and Taliban
fighters in Afghanistan

ADDIS ABABA (AFP) - Rock

as he arrived to raise awareness about a looming famine in
Ethiopia almost 20 years after organising the first Live Aid
concert.
The Marshall Plan was put into place by the United States
after World War II for the reconstruction of Europe.
Geldof, who raised some 150 million dollars in 1985 with the Live
Aid concert, earlier held talks with Prime Minister Meles Zenawi
raising both the issue of cancelling Africa's debt to
Western nations and the problem of AIDS (news

Anglo-
Administrations blocks UN intervention in Africa (West Africa especially)
May 25,
2003
UNITED NATIONS -- As Britain's United Nations
ambassador, Jeremy Greenstock, prepared to lead a Security
Council delegation to West Africa earlier this
month to help end civil strife in the region, word came from
London and Washington that Africa's troubles would have to wait.
Greenstock was needed here to help usher a U.S.-backed resolution
lifting sanctions on Iraq through the 15-nation council.
The postponement of the seven-nation tour
underscored the degree to which the Security Council's focus on
Iraq over the last several months has overshadowed other looming
crises. But it also demonstrates how powerful nations
including the United States and Britain can monopolize the
council's attention on problems they want solved while leaving
others to fester.
Since Sept. 11, 2001, the council's priorities have shifted to
combating global terrorism and helping to rebuild countries --
Afghanistan and Iraq -- invaded by the United States. But the
agenda has been pursued at the expense of other trouble spots,
particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where several nations,
including Liberia, Ivory Coast and Congo, are facing some
of their worst crises in years, according to some diplomats and
U.N. observers.

Troop Intervention
into the Ivory Coast...ECOWAS---Feb 12, 2003
France has received international backing for its
intervention in its former colony, Ivory Coast (Côte
d’Ivoire) where a
civil war has been raging for five months. The
United Nations Security Council passed a resolution that
“welcomes the deployment of Ecowas (Economic
Community of West African States) forces and French troops”
and endorses the peace agreement signed by both the government
and rebels in the current civil war.
Ecowas countries have been very reluctant to be
involved in the conflict and have so far sent only 200 troops,
though this is set to increase to 1,500. Imposition of a
power-sharing government that is supposed to end the conflict is
very much a French effort, whose troops in the country now number
more than 3,000. The deal has met with little success as
President Laurent Gbagbo, on his return from signing up to it in
Paris, claimed it was only a series of “proposals”. His
supporters have attacked French citizens and their property.

Venezuela
.... it's all about OIL
Marxist Regime back in power (ally of Cuba) ... April 15-2002
Many in Venezuela fear the imposition of
a Marxist state in their country, while Castro has praised the
constitution Chavez promoted in Venezuela as "the most
progressive in the world." ......
In addition to praising the unabashedly Marxist Castro, Chavez
also indirectly aids the ELN, a communist guerrilla group
operating in Colombia, Venezuela's neighbor to the west. ......
As an early step toward the fulfillment
of the goal, Chavez changed the name of his country from the
Republic of Venezuela to the "Bolivarian
Republic of Venezuela," indicating
the eventual goal of one united Latin America. .....
Both Chavez and Castro have advocated the
union of Latin America into a single union -- dominated by Marxist theory
-- which would stand in opposition to its wealthy neighbor to the
north, the United States

Chavez back (2 day coup).. April 14-2002
Venezuela is the world's No. 4 oil
exporter and the second biggest source of oil to the United
States. Washington blamed Chavez for provoking the crisis,
accusing his administration of ordering snipers to fire on
protesters and saying he did not "act with restraint and
show full respect for the peaceful expression of political
opinion."

Chavez resigns
..... April 12-2002
Venezuela is the No. 3 supplier of oil to the United States and
the world's fourth biggest exporter........
Pedro Carmona,
head of Venezuela's largest business
association, announced he would head a
transitional government to be installed later Friday.......
"I urge Venezuelans to maintain
calm, to keep faith, to continue working on the road toward
democracy, freedom and peace," said retired Gen. Guaicaipuro
Lameda,
who until February headed the oil company
and was a leader of the movement to oust
Chavez. "It's with sadness that to
reach this point, so many people had to die, so many
wounded."

CUBA
Cuba still a threat---
Jan 6, 2003
Fulton T. Armstrong soft on Cuba, respected by Geo. Tenet (CIA)
Since 1998
in Florida, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has uncovered 16
suspected or convicted Cuban spies.
"These [spying] activities and others prove that they are a
hostile country," said Otto J. Reich, the Bush
administration's special envoy for the Western Hemisphere.
Included in the Bureau’s more recent round-ups: a Cuban spy
operation that penetrated the Pentagon's intelligence agency.
.....
All during the 1990s such soft-on-Cuba sentiments fanned the ire
of Cuban-American leaders that wanted nothing to take away from
spotlight on such issues as Cuba’s open and notorious
alliances with Libya and Iran, and its covert development of
cyber-warfare capabilities designed to cripple U.S.
communications......
"They are one of the most aggressive intelligence services
there is," Hector M. Pesquera, the head of the F.B.I.'s
Miami office, told the Times. "They made some mistakes and
we were able to capitalize on them, but they are still very good.
They are very determined and they work the numbers. They know we
can't cover everything."

5 steps
(applicable anywhere on earth)
1. stop the military action (war, uprising, anarchy, terrorism
etc.)
2. withdraw parent military force (he whose right it is)
3. station Int'l force (foreign forces)
4. resettlement of refugees by religious organizations
5. Int'l law established, with
enforced compliance by head of local government.
Consequences: International Criminal Court (the Hague, Netherlands)

Kosovo is
the war that broke all the rules. It is unprecedented in its lack
of checks and balances. NATO (under UN co-operation) went from
defensive to offensive. The US entered by executive order, with
no declaration of war by Congress. Our American forces served
under NATO command. We ignored Judeo-Christian ethics and bombed
cities on Easter, our Holiest Day, and Passover (while observing
cease-fire during the entire Islamic month of Ramadaan)

Force pattern the invincible Beast to come?..........

As 'Op.
Joint Guardian' gets underway, the world will get a premiere
showing of how martial law takes place in every town, city,
hamlet and village. As we see the joint venture in action on our
TVs, we will become accustomed to foreign forces working in
harmony. That way, we will not be so shocked when Russian and
Chinese troops arrive in our neighborhoods. Welcome to the NWO.
One of the
first operations of Martial Law is to disarm the people.
Note: There will be a new civil administration and a multi-ethnic
judicial system
