U.S. Oil Companies Order the Murder of Indigenous People
By Wayne Bent — Filed under General@ 7:20 pm
I recently interviewed a man who inadvertently exposed the nature of the present order of things. This man was not a conspiracy theorist, or someone with an agenda. He was not a leader of an ideology. He simply told me of his life, and shared with me some of the events of that life. I could clearly see in his present explanation how corporate murder is practiced, implicating thousands of people in it, and they are hardly aware that they are implicated. If they are aware, they pay little attention to it, since the people murdered are deemed expendable refuse. I could clearly see the motivations for the war in Iraq. Oil is very important, for without it, the nations stop moving their Chinese trinkets. This lust for oil has turned men who were created to be noble, into thieves, murderers and thugs, hardly realizing that that is what they have become.

There is something that is very basic in our culture: The west wants and needs oil, and the west wants to be able to manipulate national governments in the Middle East and the world, so that it can control the oil and other resources of their lands. “This is just business” they say. This man I interviewed has worked for the oil companies since the 70’s. He explained to me the work he has done in negotiating for American oil companies with indigenous peoples, for a right-of-way through their lands. He worked for Chevron, Texaco, Exxon, and Mobil. He told me that his instructions were, “Do whatever is required to get the project through.” He said that “Do whatever is required,” was a direct order and it was meant to be carried out. He had that stern look in his eye when he recounted that command.

The man I interviewed was not tattling on the oil companies; he was only telling me his life story. He told me how that in his work he had negotiated with the chiefs of a particular geographical area in order to come to some kind of agreement as to how to bring the pipeline, or other oil project, through their area. I asked him, “What if the chiefs do not agree, and do not let you go through their land?” “Oh,” he said, “We just call the army in and kill them all, then we can put the pipeline in.” Suddenly, he had a shocked look as if to say, “Did I just say that?” He was a party to murder and assassination and it had not even occurred to him before this moment that he was a murderer.

The man’s area of work was in West Africa, and primarily in Nigeria. When the man went into an area, he needed to negotiate with area chiefs for a right-of-way. The man said to me, “If an agreement was not met, and the project was needed to be started within a certain schedule, other means were used to make this happen. In some incidences, which was most of the time, the military or mobile police would be mobilized to forcefully ensure that the ones defending the local area would not disrupt the work. The false reasons which were given to justify the use of force were under the guise that the villages or village were harboring bandits or pirates.

“I have seen a whole village vacated by the military to facilitate the needs of an oil company. Though I have not seen it personally, I have heard through talking with my associates, that the military has been used to kill off whole villages using the same pretexts. In my experience in dealing with the local communities as a representative of a subcontractor, the lie has been that we were there to help or improve the living conditions of the local community. The truth was, our only interest was to get in there and to complete the project that we had in mind. Once our own purposes were completed, we often did not follow through with our agreement to make anything better.”

This is a simple guide to everything that the U.S. does. “Get the job done, get the oil or other resources by any means necessary. Lie, cheat, steal, or whatever is needed to get what we want.” Mr. Dick Cheney surely is not ignorant of these common procedures. The man I interviewed went on to tell me that oil is the major reason for most of the wars in the region. He told me that oil companies lie, pay bribes, and use outright force to get what they want, and nothing is permitted to get in the way. This is clearly described in the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.

Our countersign is - Force and Make-believe. Only force conquers in political affairs, especially if it be concealed in the talents essential to statesmen. Violence must be the principle, and cunning and make-believe the rule for governments which do not want to lay down their crowns at the feet of agents of some new power. This evil is the one and only means to attain the end, the good. Therefore we must not stop at bribery, deceit and treachery when they should serve towards the attainment of our end. In politics one must know how to seize the property of others without hesitation if by it we secure submission and sovereignty [for ourselves]. p1.23.

Mr. Bush has made it no secret that he wants to democratize the Middle East. This must be done because those whom he calls “dictators” (lifetime leaders) are not so easily controlled. Saddam Hussein was a case in point. Saddam had his own agenda. For this reason Saddam had to go. Saddam would be demonized and the U.S. would be able to set up leaders that would cooperate with the will of the west. This is simply how it is, and “any means” will be used to make this happen, any lie will be told.

A “democracy” is a political system where the powers that be, can arrange for whatever President they want. They do this through the media. Western leaders do not give one stick about freedom and bettering the living conditions of “the ones who lived under that evil dictator.” This is the grand lie. All the west cares about is that the pipelines go in, and the “sandniggers” not interfere. This is how it has been, this is how it is, and this is how it will be. It is the same in Africa, or the Middle East.

Blaming the CIA for bad information is only a diversion so that the sheep do not get the picture of what is actually going on. The CIA is a convenient scapegoat to pacify the public. The same tactics were used with Brig. Gen. Janis L. Karpinski who was in charge of Abu Ghraib. She was blamed for bad leadership, when she was actually not put in responsibility of the interrogation activities being carried out in that prison. That jurisdiction was given to the agencies independently contracted for that purpose. She did not just lay down and play dead, however, as did the CIA chief. She told her story. She told of what her command consisted, and that she was merely a scapegoat. The CIA did not mislead Mr. Bush. The Protocols tell the reasons for all of the profuse apologies. “When we have accomplished our coup d’etat we shall say then to the various peoples: Everything has gone terribly badly, all have been worn out with suffering.” P10.4. That is to say, “When we get what we want, we will just tell everyone, Oh, my, everything has gone terribly wrong, but we will make it okay now. We will punish the bad people and put good people in charge and all of our troubles will be over.” In other words, after the mess, everyone apologizes and says, “Sorry folks, nobody is perfect, we all make mistakes. Just support us and we will work everything out.”

The murderous games people play! I wonder how it is, that present day information can ever be believed, yet some simpleminded people will always believe the nonsense. All the government officials and the media play the same game. Senator Jay Rockefeller criticized the CIA’s intelligence, which would imply that President Bush had no complicity in the lie for the attack on Iraq. They imply that Mr. Bush was misled by bad intelligence. Anyone can go back to old data and create scenarios pointing to supposed errors, so that the public might be pacified after an obvious lie is exposed. This is what is happening now. Much smoke and many mirrors are used to simply give everyone an excuse for their previous view of things, but nothing will change. The New York Times on July 6, reported that the CIA held back intelligence and that caused President Bush to make a bad call in regard to the war in Iraq. First of all, I will say right up front, that this is untrue. The media spin of this, and other lies, continues to be told.

Now, the new CIA director will say, “Oh, we get it.” “Oh, now we get it,” and everyone will be glad that everything is better now and all of the bad things will be gone, since their poor inefficient public servant is removed. Soon-to-be acting CIA director John McLaughlin says the agency is learning from its mistakes and has already implemented some changes. “We get it,” he said. McLaughlin told reporters that judgments made nearly two years ago were “not unreasonable.” But, he added, “we could have done better.” I just wonder what it was that they actually “got” when he said, “We get it.”

Lies, lies, lies, how many lies can a man stomach? I am not misjudging, and I am not making a mistake. The truth is, and the reality HAS ALWAYS BEEN what it is now: Give us your stuff or we will kill you in one way or another. Give us a right-of-way, give us your oil, or we will find a way to take you out. This happened in Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq and with the native Americans. This has happened in countless countries around the world since World War II. Many of those “freedom fighters” were those who were used to take out uncooperative leaderships. After all the mayhem and deceit, the movers and “freedom fighters” simply put on a new face and carry on the deceptions of the past, claiming that everything will be better now. It is not better, it will not be better. Most Americans are completely oblivious to these events. They go into battle for a great cause. “We are attacking Saddam so that his people can have food and medicine.”

President Bush, in so many words, said of Saddam, It is his fault for the suffering of the people, because he didn’t step down when we told him to. It is the villagers’ fault in West Africa that they are killed, because they stood in our way and resisted us. When I saw how the U.S. sanctions against Iraq caused so much suffering, and then heard the President say that the suffering was because Saddam was President, I had to shake my head in disbelief that anyone would actually fall for that line, but many Americans did. But this is just how Americans think. No matter that the Americans bombed the sewer processing plants and then prohibited chlorine so that the people could not sterilize their water. It is Saddam’s fault that so many children got sick, “for he was using all of his money to build palaces for himself.” Must I use the B.S. words?

This is like a thief coming into the house. He enters through the front door forcing his way in. The man of the house resists, trying to shut the door. The thief shoots him. When questioned, the thief says, “Oh, it was his fault that he was shot, for he tried to close the door on me. I was only bringing the family food and medicine.” This is exactly the reasons given for the mayhem in regard to the invasion of Iraq, and the suffering caused by the murders in Africa for the benefit of the oil companies. The suffering of the ten years in Iraq was caused only by U.S. sanctions, but blamed on Saddam. Hello???? Do only idiots live in America? 1+1=2.

I do not use the term “idiot” to offend. I use it because of what it means. “Idiot” means, “weak or feebleminded.” It means “weak or ineffective.” The true consciousness of America is the consciousness of an idiot, a weak and feebleminded person, an ineffective person, when it comes to seeing the truth of things. I would have to very honestly say, that the National Anthem should be changed to read from, “The land of the free and the home of the brave” to “The land of the weak and feebleminded and the home of the slave.” I speak of a mental slavery, largely inculcated by the media. Yes, I mean ABC, CBS, NBC, Matt Drudge, NewsMax, and WorldNetDaily. All the media actually knows how to do, and all that it is permitted to do, is sell an ideology or infer a story, but they do not know how to tell the truth. They know how to sell things for profit, but they will not tell how things actually are, for it would interfere with their own self-interests. This is even true for AlJazeera. Without even realizing it, they fall into the western propaganda and spread it.

Some web sites have been criticized for equating George Bush with Adolph Hitler. I would never infer exactly that. Hitler was up front and very obvious about his intentions. This is not so in these days of pure hypocrisy. Hitler never said that he intended to bring honesty and integrity to the nations he invaded. He never said that he came to bring freedom. He said that it was his right to take them, and he would take them for the glory of the Third Reich. This present administration has no such clarity. “We will come in and build schools and bring in medicine and food. We will make the country safe for democracy wherein the people can elect their own leaders and live happily on the proceeds of their oil.” This is a basic LIE! But then, the instructions say, “Therefore we must not stop at bribery, deceit and treachery when they should serve towards the attainment of our end.” The Iraqis have charged the new Iraqi leadership with being U.S. puppets. They are not puppets. They are accomplices.

Today I have been reading about the possibility of delaying the elections if there is a terrorist attack. Are we getting ready for still another ruse?
