Fingers those responsible for the financial collapse of 2008. US and UK Neo-Cons are identified.
I was trying to do some poetry
about
the 1% who own 50%
We (most certainly) don’t need them
the 1% who own 50%
But that’s what it’s all about
That’s what it’s all about
tbc …
If it’s all about this 1% that own 50%
then …
there is huge misdirection about why people are pissed off
shouldn’t they be pissed off with the 1% that own 50%
instead of each other?
Wouldn’t it be far more sensible and appropriate to hate the 1%?
Other tings are just nonsense, aren’t they?
1% are ridiculously rich, the rest of us scrape by.
It’s easy to remember isn’t it? the top 1% own 50% and the bottom 50% own 1%
I’m just starting to get a grasp of this ISIS BS. I wonder if any newspapers will be publishing this story with me tomorrow.
Kurdistan has control over its natural resources according to the constitution of the federal Iraq.
Kurdistan sold its oil in Texas independently of the central Iraqi government despite legal action by the central government to prevent that sale.
Basra in the south of Iraq is the region responsible for the vast majority of Iraq’s oil production – about 75% – together with huge oil and gas reserves.
Basra has also been attempting to assert its control over it’s oil resources in federal Iraq.
This Independent article raises objections to UK government claims that military intervention is legal since it is requested by the Iraqi government. It should also be appreciated that the Kurdish Regional Government has legitimate control of Kurdish oil.
This is a DRAFT and I will publish a fuller article
21.25 Still working on this. The least UK MPs can do if they’re going to vote on military intervention tomorrow is to try to comprehend the wider context and legal issues.
The US cannot support such a genocide. US must stop supporting Israel now.
ed: UK [sorry US] support for Israel is huge – billions of dollars. OK I’m researching it: military, money …
18.15 edit: I got these graphs from Why Israel and other foreign militaries — not the global poor — get the biggest US aid packages. It’s not the whole story because Israel will get aid other than foreign aid.
