ISIS on raivaamassa Isrelille öljyalueita. Avuton suurvalta savijaloilla heiluttaa rautamiekkaa lobbareiden valtaamassa senaatissa kuten aina romahdusvaarassa heilunut Rooma vallasta juopuneena. - This Nafeez Ahmed article based on a report to the US military. It explains the plans for redrawing the geopolitics of the Middle East in order to secure lasting access for Israel -- and, since the report is to US military, and stresses the US benefits, presumably to the US as well -- of oil and gas reserves off the coast of Gaza, in the Levant fields offshore of Israel Gaza and Cyprus, in the Golan Heights and…in Syria. This article helps many pieces of new or news fall into place. Why a Cheney-backed firm is drilling in the Syrian-claimed Golan Heights why Israel flattened Gaza in ways that make no sense without a resource motive…and most extraordinarily -- read the paragraph confirming Israels contacts with anti-Assad forces INCLUDING ISIS as a means of securing access to oil and gas development out of ….Syria. I was widely attacked for asking questions about the much-dramatized, expedient narrative of ISIS - that let the great powers have a violent way into Syria; but Ahmeds solid reporting shows that the questions are well worth asking. People who have not worked in national politics -- like most of the reporters who attacked such questions -- do not understand that an entity can be a real enemy AND present a larger longterm strategic opportunity at the same time. But far more important than the issue of sloppy reporting and mistaken conclusions from major media outlets is the grief, murder, dislocation, trauma, loss and pain visited upon the citizens of this part of our planet, with far more to come according to this document… as one reader put it, this explains the Gazan invasion far better than the messianistic mishigoss [craziness] and I would add, the oddly sudden waves of provocation and hate speech. -- Naomi Wolf --
