An Iranian Threat or It's Just OIL, OIL, OIL?

By Jesse Hemingway

The question we should all be asking is: What makes Iran so dangerous?
 
Iran and Iraq with their large number of the Islamic Shia religious sect are they really such a massive threat; with the puny suspected, alleged, and well documented facts that they do not have nuclear weapon ambitions. Versus the empirical fact that they now control nearly 700 billion barrels of known oil reserves and all the economic power that is bestowed with that vast amount of wealth. The heavy handed oil driven United States foreign policy has come home to roost. That United States foreign policy that emanated in the 1952 republican majority congress, yes that prodigal son foreign policy is knocking on all Americans door now asking for? Who has kept back and held Iraq’s and Iran’s oil from the free market? Off the markets since 1952 who has effectively keep both countries in a constant state of atrophy and war, come on we all know the answer.
 
Let’s weigh the reality Iran makes a couple nuclear weapons may be in 10 – 20 years scare me. As the oil rich Sunnis nations are running out of oil which is very highly likely to occur with in 5 years caused by increase world wide oil demands. The Sunnis nations have been allowed to over state their oil reserves from at least 1988 to the present this is a fact that the oil industry has confirmed a decline in Sunni nation’s oil production out put. (You can only decline once oil production has crossed the half way point) Yes they have been over stating their reserves to borrow from the World Bank with the blessing of the United States presidents during those years. I bet you that this method is a great way to get a presidential library funded and election contributions you could even purchase the entire United States government.  
 
From 1952 – 1960 that method of manipulating natural resources occurred over stating the purchases of the material and actual inventory on hand, their was an 8 billon dollar discrepancy in 1950’s dollar values. At that point it was the largest transfer of wealth in United States history. President John F. Kennedy ordered and obscure investigation into the strategic stockpile the findings of that investigation would have turned the United States political landscape into mayhem. Then the media said Lee Harvey Oswald killed the president by the evidence cultivated from a presidential Executive Order initiated by the new president. Here is a huge secret; presidential Executive Orders carry no, zero, and nada Constitutional authority in any criminal investigation. That is funny; the method chosen to investigate the murder of a president is a nebulas administrative law function that carries no constitutional gravity, the only minor authority of an Executive Order is that the President can authorize something as dismal as changing letter head on government forms.
 
It worked in 1963 the Executive Order to allow the media to convict Lee Harvey Oswald over the airwaves and print. Then 9/11 occurred it took nearly two years to create the Executive Order to investigate another criminal act on the American people. This time it is to cover up the manipulation of natural resources again, it is again dramatically over stated oil inventory then in reality exist.  The demand for oil in the 1990’s started growing exponentially outpacing the fraudulent stated inventory levels thus leading to a scheme against the entire world. The only way to adjust oil inventory is to bust open the Iraq and Iran piggy bank and commingle their oil reserves then after that start addressing the rapidly dwindling oil resources.
 
After 54 years of keeping the jack boot heel of the United States foreign policy on the throats of Iraq and Iran we should be afraid of nonexistent nuclear weapons or the fact the Shi'a are now the most power oil group in the world. Truly the only fears that exist is among the thieves that put themselves into this position a small handful of people that are committed to making the entire world suffer because of their greed.  I personally think that this cabal regardless of their nationality be placed in front of a world court be tried and then move on.
