Tubularsock has been extremely busy recently. It’s spring! And every spring Tubularsock takes time away from blogging to wash and clean all of his underground bunker windows.
Starting from where Tubularsock sits in his top floor corner office overlooking Washington, D.C. from Oakland, CA all the way down to the underground-ground-floor.
Needless to say it’s a large task.
But the world moves on. Regretfully I’ve seen this film before.
Somehow in “freedom” loving America we are getting a distorted view of the EVIL RUSSIAN …….. see, I told you it’s an old movie.
Now Tubularsock just wants to clear up a little something for you just to save time.
This Ukraine-Mess was created by the United States, PERIOD.
All-that-that-stems-from-that is the U.S. attempting to BLAME Russia.
U.S. imperialism marches on and the American public is fed shit news from the likes of the New York Times giving up “journalism” to become a mouth piece for another government war, AGAIN!
Now wouldn’t you think that after Michael Gordon and Judith Miller’s false Iraq War propaganda that the Times’ editors would pay a little more attention to the crap being presented on the Ukraine?
Especially this latest bit of bull shit that Michael Gordon has been involved in over the photo proof that Russian “special forces” are involved in stirring up trouble in the Ukraine …….. like the U.S. “special forces” aren’t involved.
The Times’ has had to backtrack from Gordan’s story on covert Russian activities because the photographs proving the thrust of the story were brought into question.
Yes, Tubularsock was just as surprised as you over this entire matter.
You see the photos showed a “person of interest” with a long beard and a military patch on his camouflage shirt. Like an undercover special forces solider would wear a military identification tag right on his shirt. And a camouflage shirt at that! No really, check this out.
Well. Not to be overshadowed by the NEW YORK TIMES’ mis-information Tubularsock took it upon himself to track this “undercover” military special forces fellow down and took this photo which Tubularsock feels PROVES BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT who may have planted this guy in the Ukraine.
NOW HERE IS THE TEST:
WHICH OF THESE GUYS ARE SPIES?
The CIA has this manual that was published in 1985 under William Casey (a true little prick) titled “Indications of Political Instability in Key Countries”.
In this manual the CIA states that “. . . demonstrations are successful destabilizing influences when they gradually increase in size and intensity, spread to other cities, increase in the number of days they take place, and when government repression of the demonstrations escalates”.
And this is exactly what the CIA is up to. Hence, the bearded guy standing out in the crowd to PROVE it’s the Russians that are stirring up the trouble.
The CIA has also been prime movers in the control of the media ……. especially that media that feeds information to the U.S. and Europe. In Kiev and western Ukraine, the media was rallied to support the demonstrations against the Viktor Yanukovych government. But when it comes to the pro-Russian demonstrations in eastern and southern Ukraine, the Western media has been urged to be critical or out right neglectful of that coverage.
But this is what the CIA does. Destabilize populations so the U.S. can control them.
A good example of this destabilization tactic has recently been exposed with the ZunZuneo scandal, the so-called Cuban Twitter.
ZunZuneo is the name given to a social networking platform that was largely a replica of Twitter, set up in 2010 by the United States Agency for International Development and contractors hired by the agency. The purpose was to build a base of unsuspecting Cuban users, and then introduce rumors and misinformation to destabilize the country’s socialist government.
The USAID is ostensibly a humanitarian aid organization but the rest of the world knows that they are chuck full of CIA and U.S. Military agents. Many NGO’s are used to carry out political operations and distribute money to opponents of any government that resists U.S. imperialism.
And if all that isn’t bad enough we can always call in contractors from private security companies to handle the necessary murder that has to take place and to train people to be terrorists much like we did in Syria. Remember we paid to have private contractors train al Qaeda. Just how counter-productive do you want to be UNTIL you realize that as long as destabilization takes place the U.S. keeps control.
Also a little side note:
Do you recall that at least three of the 911 hijackers were trained by the United States military within the United States?
And that the CIA helped to train and arm bin Laden and the boys.
It’s called blow-back when we train a group and they later turn on us ……. it happens all the time.
Is it counter-productive?
Or is it the REAL PLAN?
As long as the American public are destabilized by fear/protection they will be controlled.
THINK ON THAT BROTHERS AND SISTERS!

Oh sure, Tubularsock was just sitting in his top floor corner office in his underground bunker over looking Washington, D.C. from Oakland, CA in a sea of tranquility from the aroma of his flowering hydroponic marijuana plantation. Few realize how much space happens to be underground and especially while overlooking Washington, D.C.
But enough about reality.
Have you ever noticed that AFRICA never gets into the news in the United States. Ok, maybe “never” is an overstatement but so little that it has earned its title as the “DARK CONTINENT” all over again.
Now for those of you who missed the history of the “Dark Continent” when you were not engaged in your early historical studies, here’s a hint.
The name “Dark Continent” was not given to Africa because of the color of the people living there, but because of the mystery that surrounded the place back when the Europeans visited there. And this holds true today.
Don’t think so? Ok, name ten African nations that exist right now ………..
Now we do get the news when the genocides happen or terrorist activities because that is a significant part of the accepted narrative. And the U.S. and Europe want to take those who are doing the genocides and terrorist activities and put them on trial as long as the U.S. and Europeans aren’t tried for the genocides and terrorists activities they create.
It has always been that way. And the U.S. and Europe doesn’t want to place any responsibility for these slaughters on those who sell the guns, rockets, and tanks to the crazy bastards that use them on their people. Primely the U.S., England, France, Israel, Russia and China do the gun running.
But it is most interesting but not at all that surprising to discover that there is and has been for some time a huge amount of corporate positioning in the entire continent.
You see, Africa has a shit load of natural resources that “we” want to “assist” them in removing them from their possession. What a surprise.
And on top of that …….. gosh, speaking of slave labor, and no worker safety or environmental regulations, well the place is awash with corporate capitalism at its best!
So here are some fun facts ……….
Tubularsock can’t report on Africa without sitting down with a bowl of Chinese noodles and some rice wine and list how much China is involved in the extraction movement in the “Dark Continent”.
The Chinese seem to have a stack of cash they have picked up from the war torn American Government and are investing heavily in East Africa’s recently uncovered stores of mineral resources.
Of course they have to compete with the Brazilian, Japanese, Indian, Irish, and Anglo-Australian investors. Gosh, everyone seems to love Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya and Ethiopia.
According to the Wall Street Journal – ChinaRealTime once extraction projects are in full swing in 2020 the mineral wealth could be between $17-$24 billion a year.
But like all mineral wealth the damn stuff is under the fucking ground so the Chinese are prepared with the cash to partner up with the likes of Tullow Oil Plc. which is leading exploration activities in Uganda.
In Kenya the government awarded China’s Fenxi Mining Group development rights for coal reserves which will help Kenyan cement and steel industries to create the very same unbreathable air that the Chinese have developed so well in Beijing!
And then there are roads to be built and holes to be dug and train tracks to be laid and ports to be constructed all without those silly environmental considerations that slow progress down. Because we all know that humans are not responsible for climate change because there is nothing that we do that affect the world we live in except improve the GNP!
As you are well aware as jobs are created and the asphalt is spread the workers will need to be provided with 60” HDTV’s and iPhones and who can do that better than Walmart!
From the venture capitalist point of view, Africa is seen as the major investment frontier because of its young population, untapped resources and economic instability.
Now WALMART’s push for a foothold in Africa came a few years ago when it bought controlling interest in Massmart in South Africa and is currently pushing into Kenya. That attempt hit a hurdle after Kenyan retailer Naivas said it was no longer selling a controlling stake to the US company’s South African subsidiary, Massmart.
Naivas chairman Simon Mukuha had said in August they were looking to sell a majority stake, 50% plus one share, to Massmart, to bring in fresh blood and ideas.
“We are fattening our cow. As and when we are ready we will do that (sell) but as it is now we are not,” Gilbert Mwangi, the administration manager at Naivas, said. “They (talks with Massmart) are off. We are not selling now.”
Massmart CEO Grant Pattison, . . . said the company was still keen on entering Kenya.
“We are not rethinking our investment decision in Kenya. We are still looking for a partner . . .”. Massmart runs 29 stores in 11 African countries outside South Africa that contribute about 8% of its total sales.
A Massmart and Naivas deal could have fallen victim to the tightness of the market in the region. “Smaller supermarket chains are in such high demand that they would ask for a horrendous price.”
Now with all this Wall Street Journal gibberish you may have noticed there was NOT ONE reference to people. That is significant, in fact very significant. NOT ONE PERSON is considered! It’s all “. . . failed to keep up . . .”, “. . . still opening . . .”, “. . . 8% of its total sales . . .”, and “. . . major investment frontier . . .” !
In there lies the crux of the entire Capitalistic System and it’s eventual downfall from implosion!
One can only disregard PEOPLE so long and then the extreme shift takes place. Don’t think so ……. Tubularsock knows it’s true … proof is in the pudding. Just wait.
But even as Walmart worms it’s way into Africa that doesn’t change the fact that Robert Mugabe turned 90 and Zimbabwe spent about $1m on the celebration. And what better way to spend all that money than with releasing 90 balloons. Wow. Costly balloons.
Mugabe has been in power since 1980 and still can whip out an hour long speech with vigor. Holding his fist in the air he proclaimed that Zimbabweans didn’t hate the British, who were their colonial masters, but loved their own country more. Sounds like bull shit to Tubularsock.
In contrast, Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi nationalized the oil industries and attempted to create a United States of Africa. With his image of a revolutionary, Col Gaddafi inspired South Africans to fight for their liberation, funding and arming the anti-apartheid movement as it fought white minority rule.
Funny how Libya just happened to have a civil war and Gaddafi found himself dead ………… maybe balloons are the way to go!
Which brings Tubularsock to the role of the United States in Africa.
And what is that role?
Destabilization!
Now in order to counter the Chinese and other nations from moving in on Africa’s natural resources The United States rushes in to “PROMOTE DEMOCRACY”.
The United States has long maintained influence and indirect control in Africa through financial institutions such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and African Development Bank. These financial institutions are the tools the U.S. keeps Africa in debt.
Over the last decade, America has quietly expanded its military presence throughout Africa. And the main tool of this conquest ……… AFRICOM!
Now this goes back to Baby-Bush’s Reign of Error period. As Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Theresa Whelan stated in 2007,
“AFRICOM is about helping Africans build greater capacity to assure their own security.”
But in truth Vice-Admiral Robert Moeller, in 2008 stated that AFRICOM’s goal was “protecting the free flow of natural resources from Africa to the global market.”
And in 2010, Moeller wrote “Let there be no mistake. AFRICOM’s job is to protect American lives and promote American interests.”
A good example of American interests is the US-sponsored break up of Sudan and the creation of South Sudan.
With the oilfields being located primarily in the south of the country, the US led the charge to dismantle Sudan and create a South Sudan that would be dependent on US finance and military muscle for its very survival.
The United States has attempted to destabilize Zimbabwe throughout the last decade, going so far as to impose crippling sanctions and attempt regime change in order to block China’s influence.
And all this is well represented in the perfect news allegory out of Ghana.
Now, Tubularsock does admit that his own habit of following news out of Ghana is sketchy at best but how could he not report to you this top news story from GNA (Ghana News Agency).
It was reported that Two lovers got stuck during sex in Sunyani.
Now granted, it wasn’t a big news day in Ghana.
“A man and a woman who were having sex in a guest house in Sunyani were reported to have got stuck on Wednesday when the man could not remove his penis from the woman’s vagina and that it took the timely intervention of the police to whisk the inseparable lovers from the scene.”
An attendant at the guest house said that the two lovers booked the room for 30 minutes but when their time elapsed, they failed to come out.
He said he knocked at the door but heard some unusual sound from the room and informed some traders in the market.
“When we forced the door open we saw the unexpected as the two lovers were lying on the floor in torment,” the attendant said.
When the Ghana News Agency got to the scene at 2:30pm, activities at the market had halted and people had gathered at the guest house.
The police moved in, put the two inseparable lovers in a vehicle and drove them away.
Some of the market women said the woman was a trader from Berekum who sells soap every market day. But the man seemed to have been not from this area due to his hair style.
Some of them suspected that a curse might have been placed either on the man or the woman and said rituals had to be performed before they could be separated. Seems reasonable to Tubularsock when asked on his return flight from Ghana.
But there is a clear message in this story. Tubularsock sees that whenever the United States gets involved in “protecting it’s interests” it just doesn’t know “when to pull out”!
Yes, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq are all good examples of GETTING IT STUCK!
And it will be the same outcome in Africa, I’m afraid.
But the U.S. destabilization work isn’t the only gang-bang taking place in Africa to thwart the Chinese.
France and Japan have agreed to cooperate on military and economic issues as was stated by Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida when he said in Paris recently, “The agreement will open up a new dimension for our cooperation on security and defense.”
Which means that these current France-Japan talks focused largely on a stepped-up imperialist intervention in Africa. Japan pledged to support ongoing French wars in two former French colonies, Mali and the Central African Republic.
Well it’s good to have friends.
And the beautiful thing about the military build up in Japan is how it is explained ………
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe calls it “proactive pacifism”. Now what could possibly go wrong with THAT?
But let’s not forget Great Britain and her African adventures. And they are many but the one Tubularsock is most fascinated with is the ARMS-SALES INSURANCE SCAM.
This is priceless.
The English Government in the last fifteen months have shipped 44,000 guns to East Africa. And like any good government agency the House of Commons Arms Export Controls Committee admitted that the government’s Business Department which “approves” these massive weapons exports stated that in order for this river of arms to keep flowing it, “. . . did not thoroughly assess where the weapons were going”.
Some of these guns happened to end up into the hands of the “rebel” fighters in Libya and Syria but that isn’t the fun part ………… many of these weapons have ended up into the hands of Somalian pirates.
Now hold it ……… that’s still isn’t the fun part.
Here’s the fun part …… “Who benefits from Somalian piracy in the Gulf of Aden? According to a study conducted by the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW), insurance companies have seen a windfall in profits from the Somali pirate attacks, with insurance premiums sharply increasing.
And the English Government is providing arms to the Somalian Pirates?
Another oddity here reported in Forbes Magazine in 2010 is that if one was willing to buy from Willis Group Holdings plc. their highest insurance package per voyage ($35K) somehow, you would completely avoided being targeted by Somali pirates.
Funny how shit works, isn’t it.
But the Somalian Pirates are just the diversion. So when you are looking for which nut shell the Pirates are under in the shell game the British Government has funnel £2.2m into the UN’s Office on Drugs and Crime’s, “counter-piracy program”, in Somalia to help fund the reinforcement police and maritime forces which will defend British interests in the region.
Now Tubularsock just can’t help from noticing that the terms “counter-piracy program”, “counter-insurgency program” and “the war on terror” all seem to sound alike. Hmmm ……… Could there be something going on here?
It may be as simple as all these governments use the same Public Relations firm in London …… what do you think?
So how does Tubularsock see the future of Africa?
EASY!

TOMAHAWK CASH

Tomahawk Cash
YOU might not have noticed but while Tubularsock was overseeing his vast stock portfolio he noticed a very interesting development.
Obomber speaks of attacking Syria and RAYTHEON’s stock goes up reaching a 52-week high at $81.26 per share.
Now for you hoi polloi ,your ability to grasp this development, more than likely, passed over your heads but for Tubularsock and the capitalist class this was great news.
Tubularsock cashed in buying low and selling high. Using this new found wealth to invest in body-bag sales. There is going to be a killing to be made in this market, yes pun intended.
LET ME EXPLAIN IN SIMPLE TERMS:
Obomber announces attacking Syria.
RAYTHEON’s stock jumps up.
Tomahawk Missiles are made by RAYTHEON.
A Tomahawk Missile cost $1,000,000.00 each.
Once they blow up you need another one.
More than 2,000 have be fired in combat over the years.
Once they blow up you need another one.
Most American warships are equipped with 90 of them.
Once they blow up you need another one.
There are four U.S. warships set to fire these missiles at Syria.
Once they blow up you need another one.
There is BIG profit to me made by RAYTHEON here.
WHY?
ONCE THEY BLOW UP YOU NEED ANOTHER ONE!
But there’s more.
The Pentagon buys 196 Tomahawk missiles a year. That is what is considered the “minimum sustaining rate” but after firing hundreds of them on Libya in 2011, well gosh we have had to ramp up production.
Now accounting for the extra orders, RAYTHEON delivered 252 missiles this fiscal year and 361 last fiscal year. But one can’t have enough because Tubularsock has read some place that “once you blow them up you need another one”.
“In its budget submission for fiscal 2013, the White House requested 196 Tomahawks, for a total program cost of $320 million. It’s requesting the same amount next fiscal year, for a cost of $325 million. The increase in price, defense watchers say, is the result of several factors: inflation, rising fuel costs and a shrinking supply chain.” (Austin Wright, Politico)
But when you factor in the “total program cost” a Tomahawk Missile costs $1,658,163.26. Think about that …..
every time the Navy presses a button ……..
BOOM $1,658,163.26 goes up …… and we need another one.
A Tomahawk Missile has “advanced contour mapping” so they can fly low and avoid ground radar. They have a range of up to 1,300 nautical miles. They travel at more than 500 miles an hour. And they can hover over their targets for hours providing a real-time view of the battlefield.
They deliver a 1,000 pound warhead that can devastate half an urban block and can hit a target the size of a home’s window.
THEY HAVE AN 85% DIRECT HIT RATE.
Are you impressed yet?
Well Tubularsock has come up with a couple of thoughts here.
Ahhh ……… 15% of the time they don’t have a direct hit so how many urban blocks are wiped out by hitting the WRONG home’s window?
I guess it’s not much. You know how ALL urban blocks look pretty much the same.
But to be fair Raytheon was not the only defense contractor who saw their stock price go up during the buildup for a potential strike. Boeing, General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin — all missile system manufacturers — all saw sharp gains.
And can you believe that those homeless people Tubularsock has to set over ever time I walk down a city block have the nerve to ask for money to eat! The nerve of some people!
SYRIARAQ

Ok. Syria has NOT signed on to the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction. And the United States HAS signed on to this 1993 Convention.
Syria has the largest stockpile of chemical weapons in the Middle East!
The United States has the largest stockpile of chemical weapons IN THE WORLD!
Question one: Which nation is breaking their signed agreement commitment to the world community on stockpiling chemical weapons?
Now it has been confirmed that Saudi Arabia is providing chemical weapons to their paid mercenary “rebels” jihadist in Syria. Oh yeah, the CIA is involved!
Saudi Arabia signed the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction in 1993.
Question two: Which nation is breaking their signed agreement commitment to the world community on the use of chemical weapons?
Thirteen countries declared chemical weapons production facilities: one of those countries is the United States! Yet the United States has signed the Convention to not Produce Chemical Weapons.
Is it just Tubularsock or do you too notice a preponderance toward hypocrisy here?
THAT is what bothers Tubularsock the most. I don’t think that Assad is a Mister-Nice-Guy but who in the hell are “we” (the U.S.) to call the kettle BLACK?
Now the ONLY thing the world knows FOR SURE is that some type of chemical was used in this recent event in Ghouta, Syria. That is it.
So from Tubularsock’s research this is what Tubularsock believes happened.
The SAUDI PAID JIHADIST REBELS were moving chemical weapons into position for a future operation. This has been confirmed by Yahya Ababneh an on the ground reporter for Mint Press News. He interviewed the rebels, their family members, victims of the chemical weapons attacks and local residents. (EXCLUSIVE: Syrians In Ghouta Claim Saudi-Supplied Rebels Behind Chemical Attack)
Because the “rebel forces” were not trained in or had knowledge of what they were moving and handling caused an “accident” and those weapons went off.
The shelling of the area by Assad’s forces contributed to the further release of the chemical stockpile of weapons in caves in the area.
All in all, disaster!
If you plug in all the different stories and explanations into THIS model it isn’t a deliberate action on either side.
Now again, Tubularsock is not attempting to make Assad out to be some kind of a good guy, he isn’t but you have to ask the question, why would he deliberately attack the SAUDI PAID JIHADIST REBELS with chemical weapons knowing full well that the U.S. would then have the excuse it was looking for to enter this “CIVIL WAR” with more fire power?
Doesn’t make any sense. Assad may not be a good guy but he is not stupid. If you remember the last time chemical weapons were used it was the SAUDI PAID JIHADIST REBELS that used them.
It makes more sense that the SAUDI PAID JIHADIST REBELS were planing to use them to get the U.S. involved more directly but they went off prematurely. Either way it becomes an advantage to the SAUDI PAID JIHADIST REBELS!
All of the U.S. intelligence is being manipulated AGAIN in order to follow the PRE-DECIDED AGENDA rather than what actually occurred.
In fact the CIA’s Office of Weapons Intelligence, Nonproliferation and Arms Control (WINPAC) Center are evaluating the “evidence”. This is the very same center that twisted the 2002 Iraq WMD’s into a pretzel in order to make the case for invasion of Iraq.
It is clear that it is next to impossible to know what actually occurred and the Obama administration say that they can show that samples of blood and hair from medical personnel in eastern Ghouta had been found to contain traces of sarin nerve gas.
BUT NO WHERE IS THERE IS ANY DIRECT EVIDENCE THAT THE ASSAD GOVERNMENT USED THE CHEMICAL WEAPONS IN GHOUTA AS OPPOSED TO THE SAUDI PAID JIHADIST REBELS USING THEM!
What we have here is a pre-planned attack by the United States against the Assad Government and evidence being manipulated to back the pre-planned attack.
John Kerry just happened to mention during his meeting with the Senate Committee on bombing Syria “ . . . that unnamed Arab countries had offered to “cover the cost” of the strikes.” Hmmm, Tubularsock wonders which unnamed Saudi Arabia was he thinking!
And then there is this: “The use of force is lawful only when in exercise of self-defense in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations charter and/or when the Security Council approves of such action.” That is a firm principle of the United Nations.”
………..UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
But the bottom line is: Obama said on Saturday he was “comfortable going forward without the approval of a United Nations Security
Council . . .”
Obama also has said that he is comfortable going forward without the House of Representatives approval.
AND WE CAN ASSUME OBAMA IS COMFORTABLE GOING FORWARD WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE’ S APPROVAL WHO AT THE MOMENT ARE POLLING AT 63% AGAINST BOMBING SYRIA!
Hmm. Maybe in an Obama democracy the people AREN’T the government.
SO IF OBAMA DOESN’T SEEM TO THINK THAT HE NEEDS ANY APPROVAL TO BOMB SYRIA AND ALL THOSE WHO DON’T WANT HIM TO BOMB SYRIA DON’T SEEM TO COUNT THEN FOR WHOM IS HE BOMBING SYRIA? THINK ON THAT, MY FRIENDS!
SPEAK’EN SYRIANEZZ!

Well, Tubularsock feels a hell of a lot better about Syria and its future bombing. No not because Step-an-fetch-it-Obomber has decided to let that check and balance system have a chance to speak before he will bomb the fuck out of them. No, it’s because Tubularsock just read his own blog post and realized IT’S NOT ABOUT ME!
Obomber’s decision to bomb Syria isn’t about Tubularsock having a beef with a Syrian. Nor is it about YOU not having a beef with a Syrian. No really! We have nothing to do with it! And you know for sure it has absolutely nothing to do with Chemical Weapons or helping the Syrian people.
With the exception that WE have to pay for it! (Of little consequence to us, right?)
Now aren’t you relieved?
It is simply a business move. Feel better now?
You see the entire region needs to be MORE destabilized because, “What is good for business is good for business and the business of business IS business!”
(Think of this last insight as a bumper sticker that could only fit on a corporate limo bumper.)
You see there is this pipe line deal that has to be disrupted ……… wouldn’t you know.
In July, 2011 Iran, Iraq, and Syria signed a major gas pipeline deal.
This pipeline construction will provide for Iranian gas from its South Pars gas field to Europe via Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea. (Boring, yes?)
According to the deal, Iranian gas will be transited to Greece and other European countries via a 6,000-kilometer pipeline crossing thorough Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon and under the Mediterranean Sea. (Tehran Times)
This project will cut into Israel’s plans of selling gas to Europe.
This project will also cut into Qatar’s gas sales to Europe.
This project will also affect Turkey’s self-described privileged energy crossroads between East and West.
So what does that have to do with the United States’ “Interests”?
A fun side note: Whenever you hear that our military is protecting American interests, that is NOT your (the citizen’s) interest. That means American corporate interests. And now in todays terms world corporate interests. GET CLEAR YOU ARE NOT PART OF THOSE INTERESTS! (But you pay for it.)
Enter Prince Bandar bin Sultan better known to those who love him as Bandar-Bush.
Now Bandar is what makes this all too fun. He is a Saudi-sleazeball who was the Saudi Ambassador to the United States from 1983 through 2005 and had the inside track with five Presidents and with Congress. He was especially tight with the Bush family and joined, with Saudi money, into the Carlylel Group. An inside-track investment corporation where many former government officials were able to use their insider knowledge to garner wealth.
All in that grand-ol’-capitalist-spirit!
He was so tight with the Bush family that Little-Bush was the one who give him the nicknamed Bandar-Bush.
Bandar encouraged military action against Iraq. And best of all he supported Dick Cheney’s agenda for “The New Middle East”, which called for pro-democracy programs in both Syria and Iran. (And you know what pro-democracy means to Cheney!)
Which only goes to show you that floating turds swim in the same toilet.
For years now Tubularsock has been looking for the flusher!
After 2005 Bandar disappeared and rumor had it that he had been killed or died but like a bad riyal he cropped up again as Director General of the Saudi Intelligence Agency in 2011.
This guy runs weapons, cash, fighters and he is the main pipeline in providing chemical weapons to the “Syrian rebels” most of whom are not Syrian at all but jihadist mercenaries funded by Saudi Arabia and the CIA.
Are you getting the picture yet?
Bandar was involved in the Iran-Contra deal back in the day. He arranged for $32 million in Saudi financing for the Nicaraguan Contras.
The guy’s a creep of the highest order and he is still peddling his ware.
Recently he met with Putin to try and pressure Russia to back off with helping Assad but Putin has too much invested in keeping the U.S. from destabilizing Iran.
But this pipe line deal isn’t the only issue nor is the international consulting, construction, and distribution systems that are needed to pull this off.
No, there is also the Israeli Zionist’s belief that a destabilized Syria, Lebanon, Iran, and Iraq would benefit Israel because it would cause infighting within the Arab world thus weakening a major force against Israel.
And on top of that is the U.S., Saudi, and Israeli fascination with bringing down Iran.
But perhaps the largest piece of the pie goes to the incredibly huge profits garnered by our military-industrial-complex. The amount this “limited” bombing will end up costing will be in the billions if not trillions of dollars. And that is what it really is all about. PROFITS!
And that is why you will see Congress back this insane adventure because they are mere whores of these war industries.
Our only hope is in the House of Representatives. And the key votes are going to be those crazy tea party types. The standard Democrat and Republican are way past sold out to corporate interests. But the tea party crazies might just stop Congressional approval.
That does not necessarily mean that Obomber won’t step up to the plate and order these bombing as punishment because of HIS high moral standards.*** But if he does it will be a major foreign policy blunder. And the costs are far greater than can be imagined.****
*** that was a joke!
**** that is no joke!
WHAT’S IT TO YOU?

WHAT’S IT TO YOU?
Ok. Tubularsock was sitting in his top floor corner office in his underground bunker over looking Washington, D.C. in Oakland, CA. and this thought floated through and with the agility of a stealth bomber I plucked it from the ethos.
What do YOU ……… an American citizen living in America ……. what do you have to do with bombing a Syrian?
Really. What has a Syrian done to YOU lately? What harm has a Syrian caused YOU?
In most cases only a handful of YOU have ever even seen a Syrian let alone talked with one.
So ………. would you blow one up?
I wouldn’t.
And when YOU start to think about it, how about an Iraqi? Or a Pakistani?
Just what have they done to you personally? Anything at all?
An Afghan? Would YOU leave your house today and go blow up an Afghan?
Do you have cause? Have you even met one in your travels?
And yet, we have killed hundreds of thousands of them. Men, women, and children.
But what has EVEN ONE done to you?
SO WHAT GIVES?
Can you actually say that YOU have a beef with a Syrian or an Afghan? How about a Pakistani? How about an Iranian?
SO WHAT GIVES?
YOU don’t have a beef with them, YOU don’t even know one.
So why are we so accepting with bombing them?
Tubularsock is still trying to grok why we “had to” kill so many Vietnamese?
Bombing their homes, killing their water buffalo, Agent Orange-ing their jungle, napalming their families.
FOR WHAT?
I personally have never had a beef with a Vietnamese, EVER!
SO WHAT GIVES?
Syria has never attacked the United States.
Vietnam has never attacked the United States.
Iran has never attacked the United States.
Pakistan has never attacked the United States.
Iraq has never attacked the United States.
Afghanistan has never attacked the United States.
YET ……… THE UNITED STATES HAS ATTACKED EACH OF THEM!
Do you notice some kind of a pattern here?
THINK ABOUT IT ………..
Arms Trade Bull Shit

You know? Tubularsock likes to think a little before he acts. Unless he just comes off the cuff. So this information is from the The Times Of Indian …. July 28th 2012.
“UN states fail to reach global arms trade treaty”
Now, don’t be surprised! This DOES NOT SAY:
UN states have reached a world peace treaty ……….
Now, why do the UN states not even think ‘bout world peace?
Well, that is pretty easy to figure out ……….. isn’t it?
In fact, it is really a comedy of pathetic bull shit!
Vicoria Nuland, a u.s. lackey, has the “balls” to repeat these words in public ………..
Any arms trade treaty “ . . . should require states to develop their own national regulations and controls and strengthen the RULE OF LAW regarding arms sale”.
Tubularsock can’t figure out who in the fuck Nuland thinks she is kidding?
WHO?
Now disregard that the Obama Administration doesn’t want to work this out before an election because it may give fodder to Mitt and the boys.
He’s sure not afraid of getting his fat black ass in trouble with those sniveling left progressive who are too afraid to dump their vote and not show up and support him for fear of having Mitt in the white house ……….
Barack or Mitt same corporate shit! Don’t Vote, ReeVolt! (Tubularsock says: Justice Party all the way, Fuck Barack and Mitt.)
But get real …………. “. . . strengthen the RULE OF LAW regarding arms sale”.
WHAT ABOUT STRENGTHENING NOT SELLING ARMS ANYMORE TO ANYONE?
The U.S. is the largest, by far, arms dealer in the world. Think about this for one minute!
THE LARGEST! Is there any wonder why we have war ALL THE TIME?
Now, no one really believes that the U.S has stalled the process to “. . . strengthen the RULE OF LAW” for Christ sake.
The CIA is currently funding, supplying, and directing al Qaeda in Syria just like the CIA funded, supplied, and directed bin Laden’s al Qaeda in Afghanistan.
Gosh, how could anything go possibly wrong with that?
Thank the gods for the knowledge that if it was not for the incredible respect for the sense-of-the-absurd, Tubularsock would go nuts.
What do you know about Syria? No really. What do you know about the Assad Government in Syria? Really.
Tubularsock would venture to say NOTHING.
And Tubularsock can assure you that what you see on your silly TV from those silly buffoons that pose as “journalists”, a misnomer if there ever was one, is nothing even resembling the truth. Nor are they really there to provide it.
Sure you already know that! And who has time to really trace down what are really the issues in Syria let alone why we are suppose to solve them?
But here is a summary of what you have been propagandized to believe:
Assad is the bad guy.
He runs a brutal government that victimize his people.
He and his wife are disengaged from the harsh life of their people.
The “people” have risen up to throw off the chains of their dictatorial government.
The “people” want democracy.
The Chinese and Russians are providing (that means selling) arms to the Assad government so it can brutalize the people.
Sounds like this is a job for SUPER-COUNTRY aka The United States of America.
Oh gosh, America can’t intervene we just can’t disrespect another country’s sovereignty.
What kind of a country would do such a thing? Certainly not one that believes in the rule of law!
And then Hillary tells the world that Russia and China, “. . . will pay a price” for standing with the Assad government.
Sounds like the same old bull shit to Tubularsock.
Now who do you think has been training and selling arms to the “rebel” side of the equation? Yep. The CIA. In fact, you can bet that it was the CIA who helped to get this entire thing started. No really, you can bank on it. The arms dealers have and they will sell to all comers.
And who is the number one arms dealer in the world today?
China? ………….. no.
Russia? ………… no.
Cuba? ……….. no.
Well, the freedom loving, war hungry United States.
Now like in Iraq or Afghanistan or Syria does the United States, Russia, and China really care about the people of any of those countries? Fuck no.
As always, each of their perceived “national interests” are the ONLY thing that is really of interest to them.
So here is the question that Tubularsock has been wondering.
Just WHO believes any of this shit?
Just WHO is Hillary trying to communicate with at these international meetings?
Not the people of the United States. Obama would bomb the crap out of them if he decided to “protect our national interests” or even worse “protect us from terrorists!”. So the American public doesn’t have to be considered.
So who is she talking at?
Look at these slim balls in their fucking blue suits and their empty hand shakes. Do any of them care about people? Do you think any of them care about people?
Well, they tell you they do but their decisions always end in this:
But for them it’s back to the fancy hotels and their jets and off they go to destroy the next country on their corporate agenda.
And the people? Get real!
