This fits the map rather well considering half of the oil we consume comes from latin America
US builds up its bases in oil-rich South America
From the Caribbean to Brazil, political opposition to US plans for 'full-spectrum operations' is escalating rapidly
By Hugh O'Shaughnessy
Sunday, 22 November 2009
The United States is massively building up its potential for nuclear and non-nuclear strikes in Latin America and the Caribbean by acquiring unprecedented freedom of action in seven new military, naval and air bases in Colombia. The development – and the reaction of Latin American leaders to it – is further exacerbating America's already fractured relationship with much of the continent.
The new US push is part of an effort to counter the loss of influence it has suffered recently at the hands of a new generation of Latin American leaders no longer willing to accept Washington's political and economic tutelage. President Rafael Correa, for instance, has refused to prolong the US armed presence in Ecuador, and US forces have to quit their base at the port of Manta by the end of next month.
So Washington turned to Colombia, which has not gone down well in the region. The country has received military aid worth $4.6bn (£2.8bn) from the US since 2000, despite its poor human rights record. Colombian forces regularly kill the country's indigenous people and other civilians, and last year raided the territory of its southern neighbour, Ecuador, causing at least 17 deaths.( Read more... )

Report: Obama using Blackwater for assassinations in Pakistan
Published on 11-23-2009
Source: RawStory
The Obama administration is using mercenaries with the firm formerly known as Blackwater to kidnap and assassinate high value targets in Pakistan, according to a published report.
The program, operated out of the US Joint Special Operations Command, "is so 'compartmentalized' that senior figures within the Obama administration and the US military chain of command may not be aware of its existence," an unnamed source with direct knowledge of the program told The Nation reporter Jeremy Scahill.
Xe Services, formerly known as Blackwater, is also allegedly involved in intelligence collection for a drone bombing campaign in the country.( Read more... )

Source: PR Inside
Russia agreed to supply oil to China for 20 years in lieu of a $25 billion loan to OAO Roseneft, a state run oil company and OAO Transneft, a state run pipeline company
In October 2009, Russia and China signed multiple oil and gas agreements to strengthen their collaboration in the energy sector. In 2009, they signed oil agreements worth $100 billion. . Gazprom, the Russian oil and gas giant, aims to build two gas pipelines to deliver 80 billion cubic metres of gas annually to China. This will give Gazprom an opportunity to penetrate into new markets beyond its traditional European markets. China also plans to offer a $10 billion credit to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (The group comprises of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, Russia and China). Further, Chinese sovereign wealth fund will invest $300 million in Nobel Holdings Investments (a Russian oil producing company).
With the global financial crisis affecting the Russian oil and gas sector, Chinese oil agreements have revived optimism. To safeguard its economic growth, China has invested in major oil and gas companies worldwide since December 2008, and Russia, with its huge oil and gas reserves, has been an attractive investment destination for Chinese oil and gas companies. By becoming a major supplier to China, Russia plans to reduce its risk of overdependence on oil and gas revenues from Europe.

[Link] | Groundhog Day in the Middle East?: Iran gains $5 bln by currency shift to euro
Published on 11-23-2009
Source: China View
Iran's Central Bank governor Mahmoud Bahmani said on Monday that the country has gained 5 billion U.S. dollars by shifting its foreign currency reserve from the U.S. dollar to the euro, local satellite Press TV reported.
"We have seen a 5 billion U.S. dollars benefit from shifting the (currency) basket to the euro from the dollar," Bahmani was quoted as saying.
However, the report did not elaborate the span of time during which the country has netted the gain.
"Iran has considerably reduced the total of U.S. dollars in its currency basket," he said.
Since October 2007, Iran received 85 percent of its oil revenues in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, according to the report.
The switch was proposed by Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2005 as a counter-measure to the U.S. and Western moves against Iran's controversial nuclear program.
In September, Ahmadinejad ordered the euro to be used instead of the dollar as Iran's "basic foreign currency."

[Link] | New Asian Oil Export Route Expected in December
17 November 2009
Reuters
The country will sell its first tanker of Siberian oil from a new Pacific port in December as Moscow seeks to conquer Asian markets and warn Europe that competition for energy resources is rising.
Traders told Reuters on Tuesday that Russian leaders will attend a tanker-loading ceremony at the port of Kozmino that will mark the launch of the Pacific branch of Russia's first pipeline to Asia.
"I can bet it will be a heavy political show. One aim will be to tell Europe — we can sell our energy to Asia, so be careful when not supporting our new pipelines," said a trading source with knowledge of the detail of the tender.
"The other goal would be to show to China that the Asian pipeline is now ready. Both branches of it. So if there are problems in supplies to China, there is always the option to divert oil to the Pacific," he added.
The tanker will belong to state-run oil firm Rosneft, which called a tender to sell 100,000 tonnes of ESPO crude, called after the acronym of Russia's first pipeline to China and the Pacific, from the new Pacific port of Kozmino.
Sources said Rosneft is seeking a premium to the regional benchmark Dubai crude. The cargo will load from Dec. 27 to Dec. 29.
The Chinese branch of the ESPO pipeline is due to supply China with 300,000 barrels per day of oil, which must be priced at a formula based on prices from Kozmino on the Pacific.

[Link] | The one thing depleting faster than oil is the credibility of those measuring it
The challenge of feeding billions of people as fuel supplies fall is staggering. And yet leaders' heads remain stuck in the sand
o George Monbiot
o guardian.co.uk, Monday 16 November 2009 20.30 GMT
o Article history
I don't know when global oil supplies will start to decline. I do know that another resource has already peaked and gone into free fall: the credibility of the body that's meant to assess them. Last week two whistleblowers from the International Energy Agency alleged that it has deliberately upgraded its estimate of the world's oil supplies in order not to frighten the markets. Three days later, a paper published by researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden showed that the IEA's forecasts must be wrong, because it assumes a rate of extraction that appears to be impossible. The agency's assessment of the state of global oil supplies is beginning to look as reliable as Alan Greenspan's blandishments about the health of the financial markets.
If the whistleblowers are right, we should be stockpiling ammunition. If we are taken by surprise, if we have failed to replace oil before the supply peaks then crashes, the global economy is stuffed. But nothing the whistle-blowers said has scared me as much as the conversation I had last week with a Pembrokeshire farmer.
Wyn Evans, who runs a mixed farm of 170 acres, has been trying to reduce his dependency on fossil fuels since 1977. He has installed an anaerobic digester, a wind turbine, solar panels and a ground-sourced heat pump. He has sought wherever possible to replace diesel with his own electricity. Instead of using his tractor to spread slurry, he pumps it from the digester on to nearby fields. He's replaced his tractor-driven irrigation system with an electric one, and set up a new system for drying hay indoors, which means he has to turn it in the field only once. Whatever else he does is likely to produce smaller savings. But these innovations have reduced his use of diesel by only around 25%.
According to farm scientists at Cornell University, cultivating one hectare of maize in the United States requires 40 litres of petrol and 75 litres of diesel. The amazing productivity of modern farm labour has been purchased at the cost of a dependency on oil. Unless farmers can change the way it's grown, a permanent oil shock would price food out of the mouths of many of the world's people. Any responsible government would be asking urgent questions about how long we have got.( Read more... )

[Link] | Too fearful to publicise peak oil reality
The economic establishment accepts the world soon won't be able to meet energy demands, but wants to keep quiet about it
o Madeleine Bunting
o guardian.co.uk, Tuesday 10 November 2009 14.30 GMT
o Article history
It is very hard for the average person in the street to come to a sensible conclusion on peak oil. It's a subject that prompts a passionate polarisation of views. The peak oilists sometimes sound like those extraordinary Christians with sandwich boards proclaiming that the end of the world is nigh. In contrast, the the international economic establishment – including the International Energy Agency (IEA) – has one very clear purpose in mind at all times: don't panic. Their mission seems to be focused on keeping jittery markets calm.
Faced with these options the majority of people shrug their shoulders in confusion and ignore the trickle of whistleblowers, industry insiders and careful analysts who have been warning of the imminent decline in oil for over a decade now.
Remember the Queen's question – that uncannily accurate and strikingly obvious question she put to economists at the London School of Economics a year ago after the financial crisis: did no one see it coming? Apply that question to peak oil and the answer is that many people did see it coming but they were marginalised, bullied into silence and the evidence was buried in the small print.
Take the 2008 edition of World Energy Outlook, the annual report on which the entire energy industry and governments depend. It included the table also published by the Guardian today, and the version I saw had shorter intervals on the horizontal axis. What it made blindingly clear was that peak oil was somewhere in 2008/9 and that production from currently producing fields was about to drop off a cliff. Fields yet to be developed and yet to be found enabled a plateau of production and it was only "non-conventional oil" which enabled a small rise. Think tar sands of Canada, think some of the most climate polluting oil extraction methods available. Think catastrophe.
What made this little graph so devastating was that it estimated energy resources by 2030 that were woefully inadequate for the energy-hungry economies of India and China. Business as usual in oil production threatens massive conflict over sharing it.( Read more... )

Published on 11-20-2009
Source: CNN
NEW YORK - Here's a new way to think about the U.S. government's epic borrowing: More than half of the $9 trillion in debt that Uncle Sam is expected to build up over the next decade will be interest.
More than half. In fact, $4.8 trillion.
If that's hard to grasp, here's another way to look at why that's a problem.
In 2015 alone, the estimated interest due - $533 billion - is equal to a third of the federal income taxes expected to be paid that year, said Charles Konigsberg, chief budget counsel of the Concord Coalition, a deficit watchdog group.( Read more... )

Interview with Dr. Victor Bachinsky
by Anna Yashchenko
Global Research, November 15, 2009
Unian News Agency (Ukraine), Russian original. Infowars Ireland (English translation) - 2009-11-14
[Translated from Russian, first published in English by Infowars Ireland]
Based on autopsies, we have come to the conclusion: it’s not pneumonia, but cardiopulmonary insufficiency and cardiogenic shock... The virus enters directly into the lungs, there is bleeding... Antibiotics should not be used...
Why do we have such a high mortality rate in the country?
Because people are going to pharmacies to get medicine instead of going to their doctors to be treated... No it is not pneumonic plague. It’s all nonsense... antibiotics do not help... Those with strong immune systems will survive. People with weak immune systems will succumb to the illness... Face Masks provide 30% extra protection. Wearing glasses gives an additional 10% protection, that is 40%, because the virus penetrates the mucose membranes.
The Head of the Chernivtsi regional forensic bureau, Professor Victor Bachinsky M.D. makes a strong statement: all the victims of the virus in Bukovina (22 persons aged 20 to 40 years) died not from bilateral (double) pneumonia, as previously thought, but as a result of viral distress syndrome, i.e. the total destruction of the lungs. We caught up with Professor Bachinsky, to find out how he came to this conclusion, and how people can protect themselves from this disease.( Read more... )

A/H1N1 in Poland
by Martyna Olik
Global Research, November 15, 2009
Wirtualna Polska - 2009-11-10
Despite vocal criticism and an outbreak in Ukraine, the Polish government doesn't plan to buy the A/H1N1 vaccine.
Despite a serious outbreak of swine flu in neighboring Ukraine, the Polish government played it cool last week. Polish Health Minister Ewa Kopacz announced that she was not planning to stock up on swine-flu vaccine until it had been properly tested.
"The A/H1N1 vaccine is being produced by three companies, none of which has been able to assess its long-term effects. Their testing lasted a relatively short amount of time. It is not known whether [the vaccine] is safe for children and pregnant women," the health minister explained at a press conference last week.
Critics of the minister's decision expressed surprise that the European Commission's clearance of three of the swine-flu vaccines for distribution in early October had not been enough to win her trust. Nor was the World Health Organization's October 30 recommendation of the vaccines, including for pregnant women. Vaccinations, meanwhile, have already begun in France, Italy, Germany and the Czech Republic.
At the same time, there seems to be little cause for panic. Many specialists have stressed that the swine flu virus is in fact more benign than seasonal flu. According to Poland's National Institute of Public Health, 193 cases of swine flu have been confirmed in Poland to date, with no deaths. ( Read more... )

[Link] | Ukraine, WHO and the Geopolitics of Swine Flu Panic
by F. William Engdahl
Global Research, November 17, 2009
engdahl.oilgeopolitics.net. - 2009-11-15
Latest reports of what is being called a deadly Swine Flu outbreak in Ukraine according to on sight reports appear to be a political concoction by a threatened government to avoid election defeat and possibly declare martial law. The details indicate how convenient the current WHO "Swine Flu" H1N1 "pandemic" scare is for regimes in trouble.
Worldwide media reports in recent days have painted a picture of Ukraine as being under the Black Plague or worse. Pittsburgh Swine Flu "mapper" Dr Henry Niman had earlier predicted that H5N1 Avian Flu would mutate into a deadly human-to-human pandemic. It didn’t.
Niman’s map of the spread of alleged H1N1 Swine Flu since April has given the WHO, the US Government and CNN and major media a convenient graphic to create the image of a new type of "bubonic plague" threatening mankind unless we react with massive doses of untested vaccines from Big Pharma. .
Early on Niman reported about events in Ukraine: "The rapid rise in reported infections, hospitalizations, and deaths in the past few days raise concerns that the virus is transmitting very efficiently…the spike in fatalities and the frequency in hemorrhagic cases in Ukraine have raised concerns." Niman added the alarming note, "The number of infected patients has almost doubled to just under ½ million, compared to the report two days ago."
That’s pretty scary stuff. It conjures images of the reports of the Black Death in 1348 which is said to have killed up to 60% of Europe’s population. Though that history has been challenged, the image as well as the equally terrifying if incorrect panic image of the so-called Spanish Flu of 1918, are being applied in Ukraine.
Exact information about what is really taking place in Ukraine is far from easy. The country is one of the most politically complex and economically distressed states in Europe. One possible hypothesis, yet to be verified, emerges from the writings of Dr Lawrence Broxmeyer MD.
Broxmeyer suggests that the WHO and CDC wish to divert attention from a worldwide epidemic of tuberculosis, while focusing attention on flu instead. Indeed recently the WHO changed its categories of causes of death to lump death from influenza in the same group as death from tuberculosis and other pulmonary disease. Given the present Swine Flu hysteria, any pulmonary death seems to be reported as "death from H1N1 influenza." In a passing note the report typically notes the patient also suffered from lung problems.
Broxmeyer states, "Both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) are fully aware of a far more serious and ongoing tuberculosis Pandemic in the world today. Yet they choose to downplay the link, disregarding the similar flu-like symptoms tuberculosis often begins with. WHO freely admits that there were approximately 1.8 million deaths from tuberculosis in 2007, the most recent year for which data are available as well as that presently about one-third of the world's population, or two billion people, carry the TB bacteria."1
Broxmeyer suggests that there is an underestimation of tuberculosis deaths using "flu" as the diversion: ( Read more... )

A bullet train speeding past Mount Fuji in Fuji city, west of Tokyo, Japan
Explosion of debt: Japan's public debt could reach as much as 270pc of GDP in the next two years. A bullet train is pictured speeding past Mount Fuji in Fuji city, west of Tokyo Photo: Reuters
In a report entitled "Worst-case debt scenario", the bank's asset team said state rescue packages over the last year have merely transferred private liabilities onto sagging sovereign shoulders, creating a fresh set of problems.
Overall debt is still far too high in almost all rich economies as a share of GDP (350pc in the US), whether public or private. It must be reduced by the hard slog of "deleveraging", for years.
"As yet, nobody can say with any certainty whether we have in fact escaped the prospect of a global economic collapse," said the 68-page report, headed by asset chief Daniel Fermon. It is an exploration of the dangers, not a forecast.
Under the French bank's "Bear Case" scenario, the dollar would slide further and global equities would retest the March lows. Property prices would tumble again. Oil would fall back to $50 in 2010.
Governments have already shot their fiscal bolts. Even without fresh spending, public debt would explode within two years to 105pc of GDP in the UK, 125pc in the US and the eurozone, and 270pc in Japan. Worldwide state debt would reach $45 trillion, up two-and-a-half times in a decade.( Read more... )

[Link] | Coincidence Or Business As Usual?
November 18th, 2009

by Mike Chambers
In September 2009, Interpol ran a tabletop exercise designed to test and formulate the response to a bio-terror attack where plague “had just been unleashed on their countries by unknown evildoers.” Alone, this would appear to be merely preparedness in an attempt to cover all possible scenarios of an attack. A number of catastrophic events, however, have been preceded by drills or tabletop exercises.
Drills and exercises covering the type of attacks that took place in New York and London were simulated and rehearsed prior to both events. In both cases, large loss of life and destruction were inflicted on the populations of the United States and the United Kingdom. This exercise did just as was described “helping focus our joint understanding of the role and responsibility of each of us – police, health care professionals, experts – in response to a bioterrorism incident, as well as identifying possible gaps or redundancies so that we can draw lessons from them.”
Fast forward to late October 2009 in Ukraine cases began being reported of what possibly could have been a mutated form of the swine flu(A/H1N1.) Early reports had health officials believing the cases to be pneumonic plague. On November 2, 2009, Chechen news outlet Kavak Center reported “Ukrainian News Agency “Fraza” reported that, according to informed sources, “it has been confirmed 100 % Pneumonic Plague in Ukraine” and “According to the “Fraza” agency, “today in Ukraine pneumonic plague is going in parallel with swine flu. The plague has killed over 60 people, and about 14 from the flu.” One of the nations participating in the Interpol exercise was Ukraine.
A report surfaced, a few days later, that low level aerial spraying, both by plane and helicopter, had occurred over several Ukrainian cities including Kiev and Lviv. This has prompted some to believe that what has infected the Ukraine was delivered aerially. According to the report, the Ukraine government denies any permits to spray being issued during that time frame, October 28 – October 30, 2009.
The WHO(World Health Organization) continues to claim that the virus running through Ukraine is nothing more than the same A/H1N1 influenza being experienced around the world. Meanwhile, the WHO has had in its custody a number of samples from Ukraine that have been tested but at this time the WHO will not make these gene sequences public.
The release of these sequences would allow scientists from all over the world to get involved in dealing with this particular virus. It begs the question, why? Why will the WHO not release the sequences early on to possibly prevent greater loss of life. Could the reason be that the sequences would show that this virus is man made, thus confirming an attack on the people of Ukraine?
While we cannot yet confirm whether or not this outbreak in Eastern Europe is a false flag attack on the people of Ukraine or the simple spread of the virus, certain patterns are emerging:
1) Drills being run previous to the event. Both occurred with 9/11 and 7/7.
2) Limited or no access to material necessary to investigate causes or a crime. 9/11 and the Murrah bombing in Oklahoma city in 1995.
3) Almost total media and government control of information flowing in spite of the fact that officials have given contradictory information to the government story in the early hours and days of a crisis. 9/11 and the Murrah bombing.
As of this writing, according to Ukraine officials, almost 1.5 million Ukrainians have been infected with over 80,000 being hospitalized. 328 have died as a result of this virus that Ukrainian doctors say leaves the lungs “black as charcoal.”

Chinese vs Clintons... tough call on who would be more treacherous
Fake 400 troy oz Gold bars found...from central bank transfer to Hong Kong.
November 14, 2009 – Comments (5) | RELATED TICKERS: GLD
There are now reports of fake 400 oz gold bars in Oct. of this year. The report from Hong Kong said that the bars were gutted and had tungsten inside instead. The finger was first pointed at the Chinese for making the fake bars. The Chinese have pointed the finger at the Clinton Administration for the problem. Saying that they gold plated tungsten blanks and sold them on the open market. Many of these fake bars might possible be in the GLD ETF holdings! Nice way to hide them!!
From the GLD Prospectus on page 11:
"Gold bars allocated to the Trust in connection with the creation of a Basket may not meet the London Good Delivery Standards and, if a Basket is issued against such gold, the Trust may suffer a loss. Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian independently confirms the fineness of the gold bars allocated to the Trust in connection with the creation of a Basket. The gold bars allocated to the Trust by the Custodian may be different from the reported fineness or weight required by the LBMA’s standards for gold bars delivered in settlement of a gold trade, or the London Good Delivery Standards, the standards required by the Trust. If the Trustee nevertheless issues a Basket against such gold, and if the Custodian fails to satisfy its obligation to credit the Trust the amount of any deficiency, the Trust may suffer a loss."
Tungsten is almost the same density and weight as gold at about $10 a lb. This would make the fraud almost undetectable without an lab assay of the bar(s) in question.
The report says that possibilly up to 60 metric tons of 400 tr oz gold bars may be gold plated tungsten instead. There are betweeen 5,600 to 5,700 of the fakes 400 oz bars out there.
Buyer Beware!
