Time for a bloody reprint
I was thinking back to something I wrote a year ago, debunking the constant leftist "No Blood For Oil" nonsense. One thing has changed since then: Russia has started intervening in the oil region. The interventions have opposite purposes. We are generating pure chaos, while Russia is trying to STOP the chaos in countries that have a direct connection to Russia's national interest. In other words, Russia is a proper colonial power. Colonial powers want stable governments in the colonies, so resource extraction or other 'captive business' can run properly.

But we're still just plain crazy, and we're even crazier now. Part of our chaos has served Saudi interests, part has served Israel. None of it has served our interests..... Or so I thought today. Then I went back and READ what I'd written in Oct 2014. Turns out I'd figured the reason correctly, but forgot the figuring! So a full reprint is in order. What I actually wrote makes even more sense now.

= = = = = START BLOODY REPRINT:

Both political "sides" have a set of truly weird beliefs about the other "side". Especially weird because the "sides" are identical in most ways.

One of the weirdest and most persistent is the left-wing "Blood For Oil" crap. Heard a rather extreme example of it today from some leftist caller on some radio show. He was saying that Ebola was created by CIA to get rid of Africans "so we could get the land."

We've been running this neocon routine for 70 years now, beginning with Korea. At first we were jumping into existing conflicts and wasting huge amounts of money and lives for nothing. More recently we've been creating new conflicts and wasting huge amounts of money and lives for nothing.

WE HAVE NEVER "TAKEN THE FUCKING LAND". We've never taken the fucking oil or the fucking diamonds or the fucking water power or the fucking gold or the fucking titanium or the fucking opium. We've never gotten ANY advantage from our imperial ventures. It's not Blood For Oil, it's just Blood For

Even now, when the neocon ventures are temporarily owned by D-label Obama, the leftists can't give up the idea. This myth is so persistent that it doesn't even switch sides for partisan purposes!

You don't need to add mythical nonsense to your conspiracy theories. Plain old hardass reality is already evil beyond imagining.

Later thought: No, it's not Blood For       . Actually it's Blood For Pure Numbers. The Chosen have figured out how to gain riches without exploiting huge new resources. By counterfeiting "money" and pouring it directly into the pockets of the Chosen, they've established a form of riches that the Non-Chosen can't access at all. It's no coincidence that the values of real resources like labor and oil are dropping. The top levels of the economy are no longer demanding real resources. Under this layout, Pure Wars (with no motive but plenty of blood) are needed to keep ordinary people scared and submissive and dead, so the Chosen can justify their exclusive ownership of The Source Of Pure Numbers.
