2004-09-28 23:12:39 ET On September 2nd there happened a turning point in the so-called War on Terror which, while covered by the mass media, probably wasn't spotted as an event that hinted of greater importance. On September 2nd, as some of you news trolls/news monkeys might remember, a major Iraqi pipeline was blown up. There were numerous attacks on the pipeline before but the September 2nd attack halted all oil exportation from the northern oil fields around Kirkuk for several days. Waitasec... As I'm typing this AND doing the research i'm proved wrong. The pivotal turning point happened on June 12th of last year (2003) according to: http://www.iags.org/n092304.htm That's the Iraqi Pipeline Watch. Look up the Sept. 14th, 2004 entry. WOKR-TV (whose website is slooooow at the moment: http://www.wokr13.tv/news/world/story.aspx?content_id=390935DB-8B77-424A-BFA8-810A061D1E87 ) reports that the September 14th attack cost Iraq 2 billion dollars in missed revenue and, according to the Pipeline Watch, shut down "the flow of oil from the Kirkuk oilfields to Beiji refinery and to Ceyhan" but also killed all of Iraq's electricity for an unspecified amount of time. The whole reason why this is a turning point is because of the fact that the biggest terrorist attack on America will probably not happen on U.S. soil but will be an attack on the major oil pipelines of the world. This will cause the price of oil to skyrocket, causing the price of product transportation to skyrocket, causing the prices of products to skyrocket, causing a major economic breakdown which will, most likely, cause major political, and obviously social, upheaval. Maybe that's why the Saudi royal family is "friends" with the terrorists. If they anger the terrorists too much then the Saudi Arabia pipeline will stand a major risk of saboutage thus hurting the Saudi Royal family financially. A massive attack might actually topple the Saudi royal family from power causing a power vaccuum in Saudi Arabia which will lead, due to the many groups vying for power, to regional instability. All in all that major attack against the West has already begun. Pipelines are being attacked almost twice a week. Sooner or latter an attack will permanently cripple the pipelines. That's all I'm going to write for now. More research needs to be done. |
