German EUFOR plans revealed for Libya

German newspaper Bild, has revealed plans for European Forces (EUFOR) ground troops in Libya.  The plans are described as a 60 page “humanitarian” operation on the ground.

Germany will be in charge of the proposed four month operation.  No troop numbers are given.  German Defense Minister, Thomas de Maizière, says the situation is still to tense to send in ground forces, but they expect a similar situation as in Iraq and Afghanistan; IED, mines, small attacks by tribes.

De Maizière also says the European Union asked for such a plan earlier in April.

Russia issues more warnings against NATO, over Libya, willing to officially oppose UNSCR 1973

“If a resolution leads to a further escalation of a civil war by any means, including outside intervention, we will not be able to support this.”-Sergei Lavrov, Russia’s Foreign Minister

Russia is demanding that military strikes stop, and that peace talks begin following a ceasefire.  Russian officials indicate that they will move from a neutral stance on UNSCR 1973 (Russia abstained from voting on it), to officially opposing it, if NATO doesn’t back off.

Here we go, Obama’s anti-Syria speech (rewritten anti-Libya speech), now sanctions against Syria, get ready

After President Obama’s anti-Syrian speech, that was so similar to his anti-Libyan speech that it had to be a rewrite, he now is calling for sanctions.  I told you…

White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Monday, April 25, the U.S. is pursuing a range of possible options, including targeted sanctions, such as freezing assets held by senior Syrian leaders.  Can you say “cookie cutter” war policy?

Italy will now bomb Libya, the order came from Obama, more lies

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi announced that Italy will now take part in air strikes against Libya.  He says the order came from U.S. President Obama.

Italy previously said it would not join bombing raids, because of its “friendly” relationship with its former colony.  But Obama, in a phone call, convinced Berlusconi to take military action.  What was that Obama said about this NOT being a U.S. led operation?

Libyan government arming civilians, to fight NATO invasion

China’s Xinhuanet news is reporting that the Libyan government is arming civilians, to counter a possible invasion by NATO.

Most of the population in the western half of Libya supports the government.  It also happens to be the half of Libya with very little oil production.  The rebellion/civil war started in the oil rich eastern half.

The Libyan government accused NATO of intercepting an oil tanker that was operating for the Libyan government.  That act is not authorized under UNSCR 1973.

Chile hoping to become major oil hub

Chile is investing more than $400 million into developing petroleum resources at the south end of the country.

Punta Arenas, in the Magallanes region, has become the “Alaskan Gold Rush” of South America.  Labor, oil prospectors and investor’s money is flowing in.  The area is also a tourist destination, for Antarctic trips.

The oil boom has resulted in high inflation in the area, which surprises many tourists.

Chile has been wanting to develop the region’s oil potential for a while, but costs held them back.  With oil prices back over $100 per barrel they are now proceeding full steam ahead.

Ignore the Stock Market, it’s the Commodities Market that hits you in your wallet

The main stream media puts so much effort into reporting what happens in the stock markets.  Why?  Because the main stream media is controlled by big corporations.  Big corporations get investment money from stocks.  Big corporations use the main stream media to control the stock markets.

So you got money in your 401k, so what?  That’s for retirement, if you don’t lose it all in the next crash.  But on a day to day, affect your wallet right now kind of way, the stock markets don’t mean squat.   When you go to buy fuel for your car, or buy food for your family, or clothes, or anything, it’s the commodity markets you should be paying attention to.

Commodities affect every thing you buy; gas, food, household goods, a new car, new clothes.  Every basic resource is traded in the commodities markets; from oil to trees to metal, to all kinds of crops and livestock.  It could be that the main stream media’s focus on the stock markets is just a way of distracting the general public from the market that is really controlling everyday prices (or the main stream media is just ignorant).

Unless your an executive in a big corporation, or a big time stock holder in corporations, you should ignore the stock markets and start paying attention to the Commodities Markets.
