So you prefer the power trip?
As for my preference of your personae:

What happened to you?
Lets hope so. I've always believed that Israelis were God's people and that they as a generaliztion have kicked most of their attacker's asses. In the Israeli army, they are Mean and they will do a lot of damage if given the permission to. They are well trained, and they fight with the intent to kill and as if their country's very fate depends upon it. I support them all the way. And The Militants are using the civilions as human shields, basically.

oil in australia?
This statement is in response to the Alternet article by Stan Fox en led Goodbye to all that Oil.
Despite being an interesting article, it is one that the powers that be like to see fostered. The oil depletion in the US and the rest of the world has meant that the very few have become the few very fabulously wealthy. If oil reserves were somehow 'discovered' tomorrow then that money-spinning monopoly might come to an end. The great investigative journalist David Yallop, when reviewing any 'news' says to ask the question, 'Who does it benefit?'. Ask that and the road to the real truth starts to open.
Vast oil deposits have been discovered in Australia, capped, buried and marked on a map. Before howling your cries of impossible let me tell you my story, and then make up your own mind.
First I must explain the political situation in Australia when I found out about the oil reserves - for surely if oil were there then why didn't the government step in? It seemed it may have been trying to, but in 1975 the CIA and MI5, backed by ultra right-wing Australians, instigated a coup whose main target was the destruction of the then Minister for Minerals and Energy, Rex Connor. Modulated 'history' says that the coup was designed to protect Pine Gap, the secret US military base near Alice Springs, because the govt. was going to remove the US presence. Thus the coup was justified in a fog of world security concerns when in reality there was no such intention to remove the base at all. Indeed, why would Australia try and sever security relations with the US when Indonesia, with 20 million troops controlled by a murderous dictator, lay directly on it's frontiers? It made no sense at all.
In fact Connor was their real target for, new to power, he'd threatened world market monopolies by deciding, in his own words, to 'buy back the farm' from the international oil and mining cartels then (and still) in place. A subsequent smear campaign using forged do ents (see the film Falcon and the Snowman; also see The Dismissal) saw him collapse under the strain and die a broken man. Of course the media was tightly controlled (read A Secret Country by John Pilger) and the leader of the trade-unions (who could have saved the country from the coup) Bob Hawke was a CIA 'man' (again, read A Secret Country) who thought it 'best' not to interfere in a 'democratic political process' - which it definitely was not. Despite a nation (and the British Queen in whose name the coup was carried out) being outraged at this illegal 'dismissal' of a democratically elected government, a media campaign full of lies, innuendo and sexual scandals ensured this government did not return to power in a re-call election.
That was the political situation when I worked on an energy project (natural gas) in Australia - the 'Silent Coup' had been successfully carried out (we were unaware of the truth then) and Jimmy Carter just started warning of a world oil shortage (which ushered in the era of the small car). Several of the older workers laughed at Carter's announcements and said there was oil in Australia because they had drilled for it, discovered it, and then made to cap the drills, bury and then mark the spot on a map (for future use). Their bosses told them the oil was of such poor quality that it was of no possible use to any industry. All agreed this was a lie as they knew oil, many having worked all over the world on drilling projects, and told me that the quality was high.
If you think this oil-discovery story was pure fantasy then so did I, and challenged them for some proof. They laughed and told me I was naive (I was 23 years old). Yes, they did have proof. They divulged that, while searching for this abundant oil, they discovered diamonds. One guy told me that they (the govt.) would have to announce the discovery soon as people were literally 'tripping over them' in the sand, but wait and see - the nation would be told they were of low industrial quality and of little use (again, so as not to compete in world markets). I thought this foolish - both the oil and diamond stories (a youthful faith in political integrity) - until about a month later when the new government and beneficiaries of the coup PM Malcolm Fraser and John Howard (currently the Prime Minister in 2005 and a man still engaged in selling off the national wealth - he calls it, inspiringly, 'privatization') told the nation of a new and vast diamond discovery. In a national address the Prime Minister lied to the Australian people by saying the diamonds were of a very low industrial quality and of no real commercial value. Therefore they had decided to hand over the mining rights, lock stock and barrel, to de Beers. I was not surprised later to find out that the most valuable diamonds in the world (the Argyle Pink) suddenly 'appeared'. What a surprise that De Beers, not Australians, still benefit from this fortune.
This evidence convinced me the workers were not lying - in fact I now believe that vast oil reserves are deep in the Australian desert Outback capped and buried - waiting for miraculous 'discovery' once the oil-meisters decide the time is right and that all the money has been squeezed from the current oil 'crisis'.

What's this? Austalia sitting on potentially the world largest Oil Reserves?
Potentially being the #1 benficiary of an Oil shortage?
Sheeeit....it's time us Oil sucking pigs here in America start spreading a little freedom and Democracy down under....it's what we do after all...for Oil.
Uh Dump....
Do you mind not pulling your usual schtick of causing every thread you participate in to degenerate into a childish talking/namecalling contest?
Some of us are trying to have a serious discussion here.
Thanks.
OWNED!
Mod it out if you don't like it.
I'm too liberal to do the censorship thing...
Ok, tough then.
