War isn’t free, and there is no true return on the ‘investment’ into war mongering. So how are those countries attacking Libya going to fund their operation? I have a suspicion, but in the case of the United States it’s not oil.
Notice that the lead countries in this act of war are; United States, United Kingdom and France. All of them are in big financial/economic trouble. They are all implementing austerity measures to address lack of funding for their governments. That includes cutting many social programs for their citizens.
The push to attack Libya came fast, especially when compared to how much effort Bush Jr put into pushing for attacking Iraq. Back then it was thought he rushed the process, but compare that to Obama’s push to attack Libya. One U.S. congressman said Obama did not consult with Congress, at least Bush Jr did.
This is all suspicious. Especially when it is clear the Libyan protesters are not peaceful, and that in other Arab countries truly peaceful protesters have been killed, yet there is no call by Obama to take out those governments.
Most people around the world believe the attack on Iraq was about oil. It was, but not for U.S. oil companies. British Petroleum was awarded the biggest oil contracts in Iraq (by the way BP has been quietly taking over oil operations within the United States). In fact most oil contracts in Iraq did not go to U.S. oil companies.
Why would the U.S. take part in oil grabs if its oil companies are not benefiting? This is proof that the United States has become the bully puppet of the British Commonwealth (aka British Empire).
Notice that the price of oil shoots up when something like this happens. Our governments are controlled by the corporations. The corporations make big profits when prices go up. The corporations now use the governments to create situations that cause prices to go up. Of course the corporations are not 100% reliant on oil sources in North Africa and the Middle East. In fact BP has been busy taking over oil production in the U.S., and has just made deals with the Russians. But the price of oil still goes up during war, regardless of where the oil comes from. So they can shut down oil supply in one area, through war for example, driving up the price, and they will still make hugh profits off their other sources of oil. Does anybody notice that despite oil companies saying their operating costs keep going up, they continue to report record profits?
So military action may be for the benefit of the oil corporations, but that doesn’t explain how the governments are going to fund the operations. We the people are going to pay for it. Through increased taxes, new taxes and cuts to the benefits you’re supposed to be getting in return for your tax payments. Anybody remember the official reason for the American colonists revolution against the British Empire? Taxes placed on the American colonists to pay for wars fought by the British Empire, and, lack of representation for the American colonists in the British government. That’s what created the United States.
Here we area again, paying for wars that benefit the British Empire, and with this latest war our Congress wasn’t even consulted! Taxation without representation! Wake up people!
