In reply to the discussion: Leaked E-Mails: Syria intervention plan fueled by oil interests---NOT--- chemical weapon concern [View all]Maraya1969
(23,509 posts)For example I got stuck on one paragraph where it talked about the US and its allies having prescient knowledge of a lot of things including water shortages. And I thought, "are they causing these things?" But no, they just have knowledge and maybe push things along and they use all these crises to their advantage. I don't think the "youth bulge" in the middle east happened because the US stopped giving them contraceptives 20 years ago. I don't know what caused it. Probably something like what caused our baby boomer generation. I'm sure someone knows.
I think what the OP and the other links are getting at is the US and its allies have the resources to see these things are going to happen AND encourage other things to happen so as to make situation suited to OUR best interests.
I don't think our President now is involved in much of this crap because he has been a big proponent of solar and wind energy and we have made great strides over the last several years while he has been president. If a republican was in there they would want the oil because it is a much better money maker so they wouldn't have so many incentive in place, (like I just found out that you cannot "rent" solar panels in Florida. Florida the sunshine state and you cannot rent solar panels!)
