| Gas pipelines, energy resources and being a strategic location - Azerbaijan, Afganistan, Australia.....

When I read -
'Azerbaijan is as strategically situated as any nation in the world within the current contest between Western plans for global military domination and control of energy resources and contrasting efforts by other nations to secure a peaceful and multipolar international order.' - Australia could be written instead of Azerbaijan .
The global corporate buisness plan originating from ' the City' ( London), Tel Aviv. Washington is that Australia is resource rich and that shall be the main industry for governments to look after - bugger small business/small farmers.
It would be very easy to become a 'terrorist'
The way the gas corporations have marched into this area of Q'ld and told us what they will do it is easy to see that you don't have the option of telling them you don't want their mining and pipelines on your land. The only way we can fight them is through a solicitor to protect our water and our soil - BUT they have huge power as they are backed by the corporate government and the many shareholders and super and investment schemes. I guess they think over the next 20 years they will gradually remove farmers and the land will be theirs.
People in other parts of the world have to fight for their soil and water resource rights with guns and of course they are the so-called ' terrorists'
Strategic Energy Projects Of The 21st Century
During the European Union summit in Prague on May 7 of this year it was announced that the Nabucco gas pipeline - planned to transport natural gas from Erzurum, Turkey, where the Azerbaijan-Georgia-Turkey gas pipeline ends, to Austria, via Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary - would be fed by natural gas from Northern Iraq through Turkey and from Egypt.
The pipeline would reduce Europe's dependency on gas from Russia.
"A consortium of oil companies plans to revive a project to supply Europe with gas from northern Iraq."
Before Cold War Was Even Cold: NATO's Designs On Former Soviet Space.
The foundation of Western plans for Azerbaijan's role in not only regional but ultimately global energy strategies began immediately after the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the creation of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the same year.
NATO's Forward Operating Base At Border of Europe And Asia
Anyone visiting the capital recently would be forgiven for thinking he was in Brussels rather than Baku and perhaps at NATO Headquarters at that. If the matter was not so deadly serious it might be observed that the Azerbaijani capital resembles a gigantic NATO theme park.
Azerbaijan-Israel-NATO Connection: Armenia And Iran Targeted
Israeli President Shimon Peres is expected in Azerbaijan on June 28 to consolidate energy and military ties with Baku, much as Tel Aviv has done with Azerbaijan's neighbor, Georgia, modeling both relationships after those with Turkey.
Last September Israel concluded a weapons deal with Azerbaijan worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Azerbaijan and the West: Strategic Partnership At Eurasia`s Crossroads
On May 14 the US think tank the Jamestown Foundation hosted a conference in Washington called Azerbaijan and the West: Strategic Partnership at Eurasia`s Crossroads at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Speakers included former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for European and NATO Policy Daniel Fata, now with the Cohen Group of second term Clinton administration Secretary of Defense William Cohen.
To demonstrate how thoroughly NATO's efforts are to infiltrate every aspect of the country's existence, two days later "NATO's representative in Azerbaijan's Romanian embassy and the NATO International School in Azerbaijan (NISA) organized a roundtable on the theme NATO and Azerbaijani youth."
Eurasian Heartland And Plans For Global Domination
Azerbaijan lies at the very center of what 20th Century British geographer Halford Mackinder named the Heartland - Eurasia from Eastern Europe to China - control over which would guarantee domination of what he termed the World Island (Eurasia, Africa and the Middle East), which in turn would allow for control of the entire world.
It is also in the middle of what the contemporary adaptation of Mackinder's model by the Russophobe and self-styled geostrategist Zbigniew Brzezinski refers to as the Eurasian Balkans.
Perhaps never before in modern history has such a small country as Azerbaijan been poised to play such a large role in the grand schemes of major powers. | |  | | Von Curtis | | Posted: Sat Jun 13, 2009 8:11 am Post subject: THEY WILL FAIL IN PAKISTAN |
| THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!
" In the United States today, the Declaration of Independence hangs on schoolroom walls, but foreign policy follows Machiavelli."-- Howard Zinn, historian and author
Corporate control of Pakistan won't be easy -
Pakistani Taliban Attack Military Positions in South Waziristan

Unfortunately, "the Pakistani government is no longer willing to entertain a political settlement to the disputes of the tribesmen that make up the bulk of the groups" because it is clinging desperately to the belief that a military victory will solve the problem.
It will not and cannot.
At the end of the day, if people believe that they really are going to get a shot at a better life, a better chance to be heard politically, and a better standard of living for themselves and the people they love, they are not going to become radicalized.
If a government fails to recognize and act on this understanding, that government is, ultimately, doomed to collapse.
And here's something to chew on; with the US military straining to the breaking point, even with some 230,000 contract mercenaries floating around Iraq and Afghanistan, if the US makes the decision to actually send troops into Pakistan, don't bet against Obama re-instituting the draft. | | | | | ©2002-2009 WarWithoutEnd.co.uk |
