Cockburn talk about US holding Iraqi money hostage-1/2

Iraq Correspondent Patrick Cockburn on the US-Iraqi Clash Over the Status of US Troops

The Bush administration is leveraging tens of billions of dollars in seized Iraqi assets to force the Iraqi government to accept several demands in a long-term deal on keeping US troops in Iraq. The demands have included maintaining fifty-eight permanent military bases in Iraq, immunity for American troops and contractors, a free hand to conduct military operations without Iraqi approval and control of Iraqi airspace. We speak to journalist Patrick Cockburn of the London Independent, who broke the story last week. [includes rush transcript]

We're holding 50 Billion Iraqi dollars in the New York Central Bank. Does that surprise anyone? Isn't that basically David Rockefeller's private bank?

Why does it always lead to David Rockefeller and New York City???

These questions of course are rhetorical in nature... But I do ask them myself...

ikekll gets it. I'm beginning to feel I'm surrounded by zombies, though. Nobody seems to be able to think for themselves.

I have to tell you Rock, to me it's always about what's under it and how far back it goes. The issue of the money system has, from antiquity, been a means of controlling and forcing into competition, one group against the other. Money is the great corruptor. Even the design of it has an underlying psychogical effect. It most definitely taps the r-complex automatic survival response. In order for the world to change, our view of money must change or the result will remain the same.

If anyone doubts that

#1 there aren't Muslim extremists here in America, you'd better wake up.

If anyone thinks

#2 America's defenses will protect us, they will do well to recall how easily the Saudi hijackers were able to render NORAD defenseless and attack our country.

Do I believe our "government" (Rockefeller and the rest of the ultra-elite know exactly what's going to happen? YES, I do.

So, while being a "liberal (non-violent)" but "conservative"(I love my gun) I'm at odds with everyone!

Israel is within days of striking Iran

When this happens, as Scott Ritter pointed out, the USA had better prepare for a city to be targeted.

Americans should be vigilant on two fronts-

"our so-called government," that's slowly attempting to convince us to peacefully turn our guns in (plenty of evidence to support this)

Americans should be vigilant in watching for religious extremist zealots, who would like nothing better than to blow up a city.

Mmy view only:It's June 15, 2008

-The Iranians do not like the fact that Israel was established

-Arabs (the regular people, not the leaders) are rather tired of US intervention. Among the Muslim population are those who hate capitalism, they die for their "god"-they are idiots and dangerous.

-The "puppet masters," the "generals of war,"

are exploiting liberal sentiment so that WE will be blamed when a dirty/nuke/suicide bomber kills 10k of our kids

America = socialism, WHY?
