Turns Out Cheney's Energy Task Force

[scottie55]

Was simply the ISIS creation support group.

Who knew.....

Actually I can think of one person who knew.

The one with "limited" foreign policy experience.

I will take judgement over experience any day.

1. Cheney agenda was to

capture all the Mid East Oil Fields. Many have posted links to BBC and Guardian Stories about this. Bottom line was,there was a 6 million Barrel over supply of Oil coming into or on the open market and the big Oil Companies wanted to control this supply because it was inter fearing with their profits. Remember O.I.L. ,another neo-con idea.

2. Yeah, they wanted control of keeping that oil in the ground so prices wouldn't go down

3. thus squeezing the life

out of anyone aspiring to a middle class status.

4. Yep. They don't care about the middle class here anymore. China's and India's emerging . . .

middle classes far outnumber ours and will buy their products with pay from our exported jobs.

All the corps need us for is to be low-wage service workers who vote against our own economic interests to keep their bought-and-paid-for senators and representatives in office.

6. Have doubts about the so called Middle Class of China and India.

India is a Cast Society and their Middle Class is small in comparison to their overall population and as far as a U.S.exports,the only real thing we sell is our Technology and War Planes. China is a house of cards,it does have a Middle Class and they are located mostly in the old British Colonies which has had a thriving middle class for decades. Mainland China is in deep trouble,and the Red Army does not have a clue as to what to do next.

Our Country has allowed our Corporatism to use our Military to control their interests for decades . As far as Cheney goes,well,he received 900k options as going away present from Haliburton,when that was disclosed,checked the price at the time,well guess what,he was made a Billionaire and the rest is history. This idea that is pedaled daily about having a business person as a President or Vice President is so BullCrap. Many of us Democrats were yelling to high hell about what Cheney and his Crowd were up to in the Nineties,but the so called media had their marching orders and it sure as hell was not the interest of the American Public.

7. Their middle classes are emerging and China's ecomony has just edged past ours in size

Buick, a big status symbol in China sells four times more cars in China than here. Somebody is buying them.

Even if China and India's middle classes are not yet the percentage of their population as ours, their huge populations are 4 times the size of ours so I'd say those two population segments together represent a lot more people than our fast-shrinking middle class.

I have no problem with the rest of your statement on our emerging fascism (fascism — the merging of corporations and the government which uses the military to further imperialism and corporate interests).

8. Agree with the premise of four fold population and the opertunities .

There in lies a major issues. The next year will tell us just how sound China is,and what I am watching is the shut down of some 80% of their heavy industries and the high default rate of others. This is in it's self worries the Chinese Army who are in charge of transition of the Country from a Mercantile Economy to a Consumer Oriented Economy. The Guardian posted a interview with a China Army leader,and in that story was concern about the moving all these peasants from the interior to the manufacturing cities for laborers,has now posses unrest and other political issues. And China has and is spending their Foreign Reserves at a unsustainable rate in order to prop up their currency. BTW,the latest dollar yuan product costs favor the U.S.,and that is why industry is in the process of moving manufacturing back to North America. Four percent cheaper to manufacture here in the good old USA . These are interesting times we live in to say the least.

If there are a Couple of Corporate Tax Loopholes closed in the next Congress,China and India will see major finical disruption. And this scares the crap out of the Imperial Class.

9. Yes, very interesting times. What an eye opener that some jobs are coming back here . . .

because of the exchange rate between the dollar and yuan.

10. The Jack Welch effect is coming to a end.

Interesting how you and I are forcing these Multinationals to pay attention. Every time we cancel a piece of goods or service because some Company forces us to use their Call Center in India or some other POS Country. Just ask AT&T,Direct TV,Dish,or Sears,how about any Clothing Manufacturer,I read tons of SEC fillings,and in the Appendix is a treasure of info.

5. One could make the argument Cheney's Energy Task Force actual end game was....

to create a whole new domestic industry: Shale drilling.

Funny how that worked out for Halliburton.
