AMERICA HAS A DISEASE – TRUMP IS JUST THE SYMPTOM.

Oil is concentrated energy. The war in Iran is about asserting US control over the global supply of oil to impose its will on other countries. That’s what Iraq was all about, and Libya, and Venezuela. Now it is Iran. All the justifications for intervention are just trashy excuses. The USA, under Trump, sees Iran as its latest oil-rich target.

Israel is a willing partner in this war. It wants to expand its territory and dominate the whole region. It seeks to remove non-Jews from historic Palestine to create a Jewish Homeland while stealing parts of neighbouring countries to create a ‘Greater Israel’. It wants to be the ‘regional superpower’ and sees Iran as the last obstacle to achieving this.

The first 5 books of the Old Testament constitute the Torah – the Jewish ‘bible’. All the warped Zionist justifications for Israeli savagery and the myth of the ‘Jewish Homeland’ are to be found in selective interpretations of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. God – they say – promised this land to us. Palestinians must go.

Three quarters of British energy is based on oil and gas. Britain knows it must make a transition to alternative sources of energy, but lack of planning has meant that progress on this most crucial challenge hasn’t been sufficiently robust. Without energy there is no independence – no sovereignty, no production, no modern economy.

Britain wasted its North Sea Oil reserves. Like other privatised services the riches went to.........the rich. Countries like Norway invested the money in a Sovereign Wealth Fund. We did not. Such a fund could have been used to invest in modern infrastructure – as China has done. A lack of vision and a dependence on oil is the result, and so energy will become increasingly expensive.

The political paralysis over the latest Middle East is partly a product of this. Britain doesn’t want to get involved in what is clearly an illegal and unjustified war – but we NEED oil because we have failed to invest in a long-term energy plan to wean ourselves off it.

So, the Government says it won’t get directly involved in the war alongside America but will allow the US to use British bases in what is seen as a ‘defensive’ move. It’s like being half-pregnant.

Reports of the slaughter of tens of thousands of innocents in Gaza are played down in the media. When the USA bombs a school in Iran killing 165 primary schoolgirls, Trump blames Iran for doing it themselves and then launches a hysterical justification against ‘evil people who chop babies heads off and cut women in half’.

Britain doesn’t like Israel very much and finds Trumps USA vulgar and brutal. But we NEED oil, and so we continue to supplicant ourselves to Trump and any criticism of ‘our ally’ Israel is characterised as ‘antisemitic’.

America’s disease is its addiction to oil and world domination. In its attack on Iran, it may have bitten off more than it can chew.
