5. Egypt

Jul 2013

Egypt, Syria, Libya, Iraq. All seething cauldrons of hate, murder, sectarian violence, religious jockeying, immense grief. Why? I sense major power intrigue in all this. Every since those neocons went into Iraq, violence has slowly escalated. Is the oil still flowing in Iraq? What oil company(s) has control over it? Who is receiving oil from Iraq? In spite of Pres. Obama's administration mistakes, as I might perceive them, he is a President that inherited many national and international neocon misdeeds and steps. They left office laughing at this gentleman. I can see them now toasting each other, laughing and good ole boy guffawing, "we left that clown a mess", toasting and getting drunk. He has performed better than I thought and not as well as I had hoped. What the hell, he's a human being. Like I asked, why all this disconnected? violence in the Arab world? Is it just Russian, United States-European Union jockeying for oil power and by doing this keeping up the violence as a distraction? Israel is in the mix here but our MSM is not mentioning that country too much. Palestinian blah, blah, blah. But that's it. Inquiring minds want to know. Or am I just out my tree and it's so much more complicated than that.
