Oleaginous Kakistocracy: Nthawi Yabwino Yothetsera Mabomba

Ndi David Swanson, Mtsogoleri Woyang'anira World BEYOND War, March 25, 2020

Mphindi yomwe Ndale zaku US ndi kuyankhula momasuka za kufunika kopereka miyoyo kwa matenda m'dzina la phindu kungakhale mphindi yabwino yozindikira zolinga zoyipa za andale omwewo zikafika pa mfundo zakunja.

Mamembala a Congress sanatero, ziribe kanthu Joe Biden akuti, voterani nkhondo ku Iraq kuti mupewe nkhondo ku Iraq. Komanso sanalakwitse kapena kuwawerengetsa molakwika. Ndipo sizikupangitsani kusiyana kocheperako pang'ono momwe iwo anali opambana podzinyengerera mabodza abodza komanso osayenera pazida zankhondo ndi uchigawenga. Adavotera kupha anthu ambiri chifukwa sanayamikire moyo waumunthu ndipo amalemekeza chimodzi kapena zingapo zotsatirazi: othandizira, ogwira ntchito, komanso okonda dziko lako; ulamuliro wapadziko lonse; phindu la zida; ndi chidwi chamakampani akuluakulu amafuta.

Ndizachidziwikire kuti zidakhazikitsidwa kale, kuti, monga tidadziwira nthawi zonse, nkhondo zimachitika pomwe pali mafuta, osati kumene mwana wamkazi kapena kupondereza pamavuto akufunika kupulumutsidwa ndi bomba la demokalase. Zaka makumi awiri zapitazo, wina amayenera kunama pa izi. Tsopano lipenga poyera akuti akufuna asitikali a Syria kuti apange mafuta, Bolton poyera akuti akufuna kupempha kuVenezuela mafuta, Pompeyi poyera akunena kuti akufuna kuthana ndi arctic yamafuta (omwe asungunuke kwambiri a arctic kukhala boma logonja).

Koma tsopano popeza zonse ndi zopanda manyazi kunjaku, sitiyenera kuloledwa kubwerera ndi kukanena momwe zinaliri nthawi yonseyi, ngakhale mwakabisira komanso mwamanyazi pang'ono?

Ochepa athufe tidalimbana ndi mapaipi amafuta ndi gasi kwanuko, komwe timakhala, kapena malo achilengedwe ku North America, osazindikira kuti mafuta ndi gasi ambiri ochokera m'mapaipi awa, akapangidwa, apita ku kuyendetsa ndege ndi akasinja ndi magalimoto andewu zankhondo zakutali - ndipo ndithudi osazindikira momwe nkhondo zakutali zilinso nkhondo zotsutsana ndi mapaipi.

Buku latsopano la Charlotte Dennett, Kuwonongeka Kwa Ndege 3804, ndi - mwazinthu zina - kuwunika kwa nkhondo zamapaipi. Dennett akudziwa bwino kuti nkhondo zili ndi zifukwa zambiri, komanso kuti zomwe zimalimbikitsa mafuta sizokhudzana ndikumanga mapaipi. Koma zomwe amamveketsa bwino kuposa kale ndi momwe mapaipi aliri ofunika kwambiri pankhondo zambiri kuposa momwe anthu ambiri amazindikira.

Buku la a Dennett ndiwophatikizira kafukufuku wokhudza kuphedwa kwa bambo ake, membala woyamba wa CIA kuti azindikilidwe ndi nyenyezi pakhoma la CIA kulemekeza iwo omwe adafera chilichonse chomwe adafera, ndi kafukufuku a Middle East, mayiko ndi mayiko. Chifukwa chake, sikuli motsatira ndondomeko, koma zikadakhala, chidule (ndi zowonjezera pang'ono) chikhoza kupita motere:

Berlin yomwe idakonzekera kupita ku Baghdad Railroad inali mapaipi oyendetsa zinthu zomwe zimayendetsa nkhondo zapadziko lonse lapansi momwe maipi angachitire. Kusankha kwa Churchill kusinthira gulu lankhondo laku Britain kukhala mafuta ndikutenga mafuta amenewo ku Middle East ndiko kuyambitsa nkhondo zosatha, kulumikizana, kulakwitsa komanso mabodza. Cholinga chachikulu (sichinali chokhacho) choyambitsa nkhondo yoyamba yapadziko lonse chinali mpikisano wamafuta aku Middle East, makamaka funso la Iraq Petroleum Company Pipeline, komanso ngati ziyenera kupita ku Haifa ku Palestine kapena ku Tripoli ku Lebanon.

Pambuyo pa nkhondo yoyamba yapadziko lonse, mgwirizano wa Sykes-Picot ndi San Remo Agreement on Oil zidatsimikizira kuti mafuta omwe adalowetsedwa pansi pa nthaka ya anthu ena - komanso malo omwe mapaipi angamangidwe. Pofotokoza za mgwirizano wa San Remo on Oil, a Dennett anati: “Popita nthawi, mawu oti 'mafuta' adasowa pofotokozera za mgwirizano m'mabuku azakale, monganso momwe zimasoweka pokambirana pagulu pamalamulo akunja aku US, omwe m'ma 1920 amadziwika kuti ' zokambirana zokondera, 'mpaka mawu oti' oleaginous 'nawonso asoweka. ”

Nkhondo yachiwiri yapadziko lonse idachitika pazifukwa zambiri, chachikulu pakati pawo Nkhondo Yadziko I ndi Mgwirizano wankhanza wa Versailles. Zomwe anthu ambiri ku United States angakupatseni chifukwa cha nkhondo yachiwiri yapadziko lonse lapansi zidatchulidwa atatha. Monga ine Zolembedwa Nthawi zambiri, boma la US lidatsogolera maboma adziko lonse lapansi kukana Ayuda, ndipo maboma aku US ndi Britain adakana pomenya nkhondo kuti atenga mbali pazokambirana kapena zankhondo kuthandiza omwe akuvutika m'misasa ya Nazi, makamaka chifukwa samasamala . Koma Dennett akulozanso chifukwa china chosagwira ntchito, chomwe ndi zikhumbo za mapaipi a Saudi.

Mfumu ya Saudi Arabia ikhoza kukhala kuti inali mdani wamkulu wopikisana ndi demokalase, ufulu, ufulu, komanso (mwina ayi) ma pie apulo, koma anali ndi mafuta komanso Chisilamu, ndipo sanafune kuti Ayuda ambiri asamukire ku Palestina kuti akalandire kuwongolera gawo lina lamapaipi kupita ku Mediterranean. Mu 1943, pamene United States inali kuganiza kuti isaphulitse bomba ku Auschwitz ndi kuletsa lipoti la kuphedwa kwa Nazi, Mfumu inali kuchenjeza kuti Ayuda ambiri akhazikika ku Middle East nkhondo itatha. Asitikali aku US adaphulitsa zida zina pafupi kwambiri ndi Auschwitz kotero kuti akaidi adaona ndege zikudutsa, molakwitsa adaganiza kuti ali pafupi kuphulitsidwa. Poyembekezera kuti akaimitsa ntchito ndende zamphepete mwa kuwononga moyo wawo, akaidi amasangalala ndi bomba lomwe silinabwere.

Zikwangwani ndi zithunzi zomwe ndaziwona sabata ino zikukumbutsa anthu kuti Ann Frank adamwalira ndi matenda m'ndende, moyenereradi kumasula andende kuti achepetse chiopsezo chotenga coronavirus. Palibe amene akutchula gawo lomwe US ​​State department idakana pempho la visa la banja la a Frank. Palibe amene amatenga chikhalidwe cha US ndi kolala ndikugwira mphuno yake pozindikira kuti kukanidwa kumeneku sikunali kodabwitsa kapena kulakwitsa kapena kusokonekera koma chinthu chomwe chimayendetsedwa ndi zoyipa zoyipa osati mosiyana ndi zomwe tsopano zikuwuza nzika zaku US kuti zifere Wall Street.

Mapaipi a Trans-Arab, akumathera ku Lebanon osati Palestine, akathandizira United States kukhala mphamvu padziko lonse lapansi. Haifa ingatayike ngati malo oyikira mapaipi, koma pambuyo pake imadzakhala doko lokhazikika la Sixth Fleet ya United States. Israeli yonse ikadzakhala linga lalikulu loteteza mapaipi. Koma Syria ikadakhala yovuta. Mavuto a 1945 a Levant Callen komanso 1949 CIA ku Syria inali ndale zabwino. US idakhazikitsa wolamulira woyipitsa mapaipi oyambayo, ndipo nthawi zambiri amaiwalika, yophatikizidwa ndi CIA.

Nkhondo yapano ku Afghanistan idayambika ndipo idatenga nthawi yayitali, mwa lingaliro lakumanga nyumba ya TAPI (Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India) - cholinga nthawi zambiri poyera avomerezedwa , cholinga chomwe chatsimikizira kusankha kwa akazembe ndi purezidenti, ndi cholinga chomwe chiri gawo la zokambirana zomwe zikuchitika mwamtendere.

Momwemonso, cholinga chachikulu cha nkhondo yaposachedwa (2003-yayamba) ku Iraq ndi loto loti akhazikitsenso Kirkuk kupita ku Haifa Pipeline, cholinga chothandizidwa ndi Israeli komanso wolamulira mwankhanza waku Iraq Ahadi Ahmedabi.

Nkhondo yosatha ku Syria ndiyovuta kwambiri, ngakhale poyerekeza nkhondo zina, koma chofunikira ndicho kusamvana pakati pa ogwirizana ndi Pipeline ya Iran-Iraq-Syria ndi oikira Pipeline ya Qatar-Turkey.

US sakhala asitikali akuluakulu okha omwe akukhudzidwa ndi zofuna za mapaipi kunja. Ma Russia-obwezeretsedwa (komanso US-wobwezeretsedwa) ziwonetsero ndi ziwawa ku Azerbaijan ndi Georgia zakhala zikuyenda pamwamba pa Baku-Tblisi-Ceyhan Pipeline. Ndipo tanthauzo laling'ono lofunsa modabwitsa lomwe osankhika aku US akuyika anthu aku Crimea omwe adavota kuti abwererenso ku Russia ndi mafuta omwe ali pansi pa gawo la Crimea ku Black Sea, ndipo mapaipi akuyenda pansi pa nyanja'yo kuti abweretse gasi m'misika.

Mafuta ena ochulukirapo omwe akuwononga dziko lapansi agonedwa pansi pa nkhonya za ku Mediterranean zomwe zikuyendetsa Israeli ku Lebanon ndi Gaza. US- ndi Gulf inati nkhondo yaku Saudi yomwe idayendetsa ku Yemen ndi nkhondo ya Saudi Trans-Yemen Pipeline, komanso mafuta aku Yemeni, komanso magalimotoyi ena wamba omveka.

Kuwerenga nkhani iyi yandale zapaapaipi, lingaliro losamveka limabwera kwa ine. Ngati sichoncho chifukwa chomenyera nkhondo pakati pa mayiko, mafuta ndi gasi ochulukirapo akadatha kupezeka ndikuchotsedwa padziko lapansi. Koma zikuwonekeranso kuti ziphe zowonjezerazi mwina sizinawotchedwe, chifukwa owagwiritsa ntchito kwambiri ndi nkhondo zomwe m'mbiri yakale zakhala zikumenyedwera ndipo zikumenyedwera pa iwo.

Kumene ndimakhala ku Virginia, timakhala ndi zikwangwani ndi malaya omwe amangoti "Palibe Pipeline," kuwerengera anthu kuti amvetsetse zomwe tikutanthauza. Ndimakonda kuwonjezera "s." Kodi tonse tikadakhala kuti palibe "Mapayipi" kulikonse? Nyengo yanyanjayi ikhoza kuwonongeka pang'onopang'ono. Nkhondozo zingafune kusunthidwa kosiyana. Kuyimbira ngati kwa Secretary General wa United Nations sabata ino kuti ayimitse nkhondo zonse kuti athe kuthana ndi mavuto akulu omwe akukumana nawo anthu atha kukhala ndi mwayi wabwino womvera.
