Osama Bin Laden message decoded

The partition of Durfur and South Sudan will destroy 50 per cent of Sudan GDP

Is Bin Laden saying China’s CNPC oil company is a plunder and new al-Qaida target

Afrocentric analysis

By Isiah Scott

If CNPC and Exxon Mobil announced that all East African oil deals will be a 50/50 profit sharing, with 90 percent of the billion of dollars profit going to areas the oil fields are located, most of the growing tension in region would disappear. Rejecting the terms of the World Bank –backed pipeline and revenue sharing would allow the region the necessary billion of dollars of capital to ordering develop the none oil sectors of the economy.

According to the New York Times in its op-ed “Osama’s Crusade In Darfur”, says rather than change the rate of looting by the multinationals of Chad, Sudan and other oil rich African states, “ The White House can invite the survivors (Darfur) for a photo-op so they themselves can recount…. how their children were beheaded and their mosques destroyed.” Maybe the New York Times and the White House will also invite some Oyo people from Nigeria oil rich region to exchange horrors about ExxonMobil private security forces. Or maybe the White House would invite some survivors of the chemical spills in New Orleans.

Osama Bin Laden call for a new military campaign in westren Sudan by mujahedeen (Islamic fighters) rather than Janjaweed militia in fight to the death a against crusaders and plunders mark a new political and military front for al-Qaida. While it’s clear whom bin Laden means by Zionist, crusaders, the new reference to plunders appears to the door to inclusion of China in al-Qaida African campaign.

ExxonMobil and the China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) multinational are the one and two oil players in Black African and the East African region.

Why would bin Laden want to fight CNPC for control of western Sudan.

There is shared Sino-African energy interests in Algeria, Angola, Chad, Sudan, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and Niger and know Nigeria. China’s deepening energy partnership with Sudan represents a major area of potential confrontation between American and Chinese oil companies.

The biggest loser would be the central government of Sudan.

Sudan is China’s largest overseas production base more than half of Sudan oil exports go to China. Sudan is estimate to provide in a few years of 15 present of China oil exports. CNPC owns a 40 perecent stake in the Greater Nile Petroleum Operating Company and pumps over 300,00 barrels per day in Sudan. The Chinese oil firm Sinopec is constructing a 1500 kilometer pipeline to a new tanker terminal being built in Port Sudan on the Red Sea. Exxon Mobil and CNPC are jointly working to defeat South Sudan plans to build a alternative pipeline via Kenya to the Indian Oceans, where would reduce it dependency on either Exxon Mobil or CNPC to develop and transport its oil and other exports.

The CNPC has employed the Sudanese military and Janjaweed to control and remove the Black Sudanese from the rich southern oil fields and now Darfur oil fields and face a major up hill public relations campaign to remain in the southern region after it is partitioned from the rest of Sudan.

Many of the northern Sudanese businesses operating in the south will face the same faith as the Chinese oil companies. The writes estimates that 50 perecent of Sudan real Gross National Product will be lost when South Sudan is partition and Foreign Direct Investments are refocused away from northern Sudan and flow freely into the southern oil rich region.

According to the New York Times, there may be more oil in Sudan than Saudi Ababa. Once South Sudan is freed from the rest of Sudan there will be an international feeding friends that China will not be able to control.

Over 90 per cent of Chinese oil production and infrastructure are located in or near the southern region of Sudan that will become an independent country called South Sudan in a few years.

The leaders of South Sudan has made it clear to the world that a new 50/50 profit sharing relation will be developed between its and all foreign oil companies operating or planning to operate in South Sudan.

The central government of Sudan will lose most of its oil profits from the southern Sudan following its independence and development of military agreements with westren powers. South Sudan will become the Kuwait of Africa.

The northern non-oil Sudan economy will be downsized, as most foreign investments will be concentrated in the southern oil rich region. This hidden economic dimension of the partition of the southern region in a new country will cause on the northern regions of Sudan is a key reality behind bin Laden analysis and northern Sudanese fears. Al-Qaeda knows the only thing that makes Durfur any different than other human crisis in the world is the vast amounts of oil under the sands. When the westren UN force takes control in the fall, the whole balance of power on the ground potentially will rapidly shift away from Chinese-back Sudanese government, as the world sees first hand the horrors of Chinese oil oppression. The Black oppressed people will demand protection and compensation beyond China political and moral frame of reference. The stage will be set for the forth-nuclear confrontation over Africa, following the Congo, 1967 war and Cuban intervention in southern Africa.

In the short-run China could tens of billion of dollars of westren exports in an international boycott of its goods. Chinese could potential lose billions of infrastructure investments and over a million barrels of oil exports a day to in the long run to less oppressive westren oil companies like ExxonMobil offering better profit sharing deals to the new regime in the south. Other near by oil rich regions like Durfur and eastern Chad plan to follow the lead of South Sudan into new 50/50 profit share deals with westren oil companies.

Under this fear, over the last few years China has secretly worked with the United States to broker the South Sudan peace agreement, with the de facto understanding that their existing and planned oil expansion would be respected, once the Westren heavy armed forces replace the light armed African Union forces in Darfur and South Sudan. Because of China’s deepening oil needs and the new opportunistic Bush Sudanese policy, much of the coordination has been subordinated to China quest to incase oil exports.

Bin Laden understands this oil lobby policy change and the opportunities it offers to him and other insurgents in East Africa. A large and growing westren force in the oil rich section of Sudan offers an easy political and military target.

China’s relations with Africa have shifted to oil centric considerations and are freely exchanging aid, arms or infrastructure investments for resource considerations. The recent Chinese backing of the rebel attack on the capital of Chad demonstration the ruthlessness of the Chinese African oil policy. According to the New York Times the Chinese energy crisis is so pressing, they nolonger care about genocide in Sudan. This has been made very clear to the world by the ruthlessness of the Chinese-backed Janjaweed militia pre-rainy season attacks in Chad and southern Sudan.

With 500 China troops as part of the new UN forces massing to take over military operations in Sudan, and other 13,000 Chinese forces working as guest workers, China has overwhelming force on the ground with the best logistical supply network in Sudan.

Bin Laden called to defense the state of Sudan carefully distance al-Oaeda from the Chinese-based and protected central government of Sudan. The bin Laden call to defense of Islam, rather the regime in Sudan is critical to how Arab people and governments feel about the coming partition of southern Sudan. Bid Laden reportedly rejects the partition of Sudan into two separate political states, South Sudan and Sudan. Purportedly Bin Laden said South Sudan must stay in “Islamic lands.” Any hope of South Sudan remaining in Islam hands will end when the very powerful NATO forces replace the weaker African Union forces in Durfur and then South Sudan. Durfur will make application to become a UN protected region with the right to self-determination. South Sudan will sign security agreements with westren powers.

The Chinese and Sudanese military have been getting ready force the UN military transfer of power and its potential effects on their oil production and pipe lines in the North. There are almost 25 cities in southern; over half are still garrison by 40,000 Sudanese, Janjaweed militia and Chinese forces. The Black South Sudan military forces are not strong enough to defense the roadless cities they are deployed in much less push the central government and Chinese forces out. This situation will offer local Al-Qaeda cells and operatives a target rich environment.

The Chinese are extending their military condon sanitaria around their oil operations in southern Sudan and are refusing to allow the Black Sudanese to use their oil maintenance roads (the only paved surfaces in the south) to either transport people or food and supplies to the refugee camps. The Chinese oil companies like (CNPC) are pushing the local south Sundaes people, with out any compensation further away from both their oil production sits and the oil pipeline in southern Sudan in hopes of consolidating their security position. The projection of Chinese backed rebels to N’Djamena allows the Chinese forces grounds in Sudan to consolidated greater control over southern Sudan before the annual rainy season starts and the military situation becomes frozen until fall. CNPC is developing oil production in Chad’s Doba Basin.

The Chinese military command in Sudan needs to upgrade it’s logistically links CNPC operations in Chad with other oil production in southern Sudan. Backing the Chad insurgency movement allows Chinese and Sudanese forces to create the necessary logistical supply lines they need on the ground in eastern Chad to protect Chinese oil interests in the event of a civil war in Chad or a rebellion in Durfur.

The Oval Office appears to be using the American public fears of civil wars in East Africa to justified the abandonment any official containment of Chinese expansion in Sudan and try to take part of the Sudan oil riches for the American oil multinationals.

At the core of the application of this new Oval Office policy is the secret support of an illegal American oil operation (Cliveden Chad- Sudan) using Chadian rebels, some American, trained and equipped by Sudan and Chinese military forces, cooperating with US/French force for the past two years in Darfur. This back door US oil lobby move into Sudan has reduced the US civil right policy toward Black Sudanese to nothing more than a cheap political ruse.

A British Cannel 4 News investigation has discovered a signed 25-year contact with an American consortium led by the Cliveden Group to drill for oil in southern Sudan and Darfur. In late 2003, Cliveden Sudan acquired the biggest stake in the Block C consortium drilling for oil Block C runs from Darfur to deep into southern Sudan.

Two Chinese corporations were reportedly given an option of 50 percent of the deal. This is the tip of the iceberg of a new White House oil centric shift in US Sudanese policy, led by Condoleezza Rice and Paul Wolfowitz.

US oil companies are trying to initially piggyback the Chinese relationship in Sudan. The American oil operations in Sudan will use Chinese oil pipelines to export their oil. In the long-term the Cameroon-Chad pipeline was constructed with Darfur and southern Sudan in mind. The Chinese have quietly started buying control of the pipeline via Cliveden.

While it appears that China is welling to political acquiesce to world pressure to some limited free southern Sudan. It remain very unclear, after the downsizing of the military roles of central governments of Chad and Sudan, what the nature and form southern Sudan freedom will take in terms of China and other Asia oil companies. The Chad pipeline model was the proto type of new oil deals with oil rich states like South Sudan. With Sudanese and Chinese troops on the grounds in Chad protection CNPC operations, this may change.

When the Westren military forces take control of the Durfur crisis, the Oval Office will be positioned to quietly moved to option B, which called for forcing the SPLA and other Black groups in Sudan to honor the framework of the US brokered power sharing agreement with the central government of Sudan. This agreement allows CNPC and ExxonMobil the opportunity to develop oil production in both Chad and South Sudan.

Osama Bin Laden understands the dynamics of the emgering situation and has called for Al-Qaeda to open up military campaign in westren Sudan by mujahedeen (Islamic fighters) rather than Janjaweed militia against the plunders (westren and Asian) in order to move into the political vacuum created by the military downsizing of the central government of Sudan. His is de facto trying to separate the pro-China element from the Islamic elements within the Janjaweed and Sudanese. A heavy armed western UN peacekeeping force of 20,000, confront 40, 000 Sudanese and 13,000 Chinese guest workers creates just the kind situation bin Laden is looking for.

If the New York Times and other western newspapers would used public opinion challenge CNPC and Exxon Mobil announced that all East African oil deals will be a 50/50 profit sharing, with 90 percent of the billion of dollars profit going to areas the oil fields are located, many lives could be saved and maybe the spring planting season.

The people of East African have suffered enough.

If CNPC and Exxon Mobil announced that all East African oil deals will be a 50/50 profit sharing, with 90 percent of the billion of dollars profit going to areas the oil fields are located, most of the growing tension in region would disappear. China has 700 billion dollar, money is not the point. Exxon Mobil has 70 billion in near cash, money is not their problem.

China and Sudan to partition Chad's oil region

China’s oil lobby next move in Chad

De facto military partition of oil rich eastern Chad

by Isiah Scott

According to the Taipei Times January 19, 2006, Chinese Petroleum of Taiwan signed a contract with the government of Chad to develop a total of 180,000 of barrels of crude. A key term in the deal is a potential 50/50 sharing of revenues. Under these terms would get 50 percent of 4.5 billion dollars or 2.3 billion each year. The Taiwan oil would have to be transported via the ExxonMobil pipeline out of Chad.

The current Exxon Mobil-led consortium had made over 7 billion dollar on Chad oil between 2003-2005, paying the central government only 207 million dollar. The Taiwan deal potential will set a new international standard profit sharing paying Chad 50 percent or 3.5 billion using the Exxon Mobil deal. This new 50/50 sharing would potential destroy the Chinese’s, ExxonMobil and World Bank existing models in Africa.

This is the same model that the leadership of South Sudan is trying to create for all new oil deals in southern Sudan. China and other Asian oil companies are pushing Sudanese oil production to 500,000 but are only paying a royalty of 5 percent on each barrel exported.

The US State Department made public this week that there is a possibility the ExxonMobil oil pipeline will be extended into Darfur. This expansion will open the door to the Taiwan deal. The US government is trying to position itself as an “honest broker”. According to the International Herald Tribune, “western diplomats fear that if Deby’s government fall, chaos will ensue. They also worry that a new government, if aided by Sudan in ousting Deby, would be much more sympathetic to Khartoum”. “ China, via Sudan would then control the two most import oil pipeline in Chad and Sudan. China control of both oil pipe lines would kill the Taiwan deal.

If Deby wins the May election, China next move would be military partition of eastern Chad.

Deby is an obstacle for the country.” said To Erdimi, a nephew who broke with Deby last year and now organizes a rebel movement against him from the United States.

The Deby government and French military say the political situation has returned too normal in Chad. No one is officially admitting to exactly where the remains of the rebel’s are- not even the French military, which has six Mirage jets flying surveillance missions over the arid, land eastern Bad Lands of Chad. Many diplomats think the insurgents are probably refueling.

The Christian Science Monitor report –“ We have the calm before the (next) storm.

The president of Chad Mr. Deby said the intelligence from France was crucial in helping the government troop repulse the rebel’s attacks on the capital April 13. Many in the international surveillance how a force of 700 troops could move undetected over 600 miles across a desert all the way to N’Djamema without French and US military collaboration.

The US military and oil companies maintain very powerful satellite surveillance platforms like the Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI). This military platform allows the US tracking device, based in space, which could pinpoint and follow the smallest of targets on earth. A force of 700 troopers moving across a desert would be very easy to track by US Space Command. Anywhere alone the trip, Chadian troops could have informed and destroyed the strike force. The Sudanese military is track daily by US Space Command.

The political question is why the White House did not inform President Deby of his unwanted visitors.

The U.N. diplomats said Tuesday that Security Council ambassadors were told at a briefing that 125 new vehicles transported well-armed rebel fighter in new uniforms 620 miles from the Sudan-Chad border to the capital of Chad, N’Djamena for the raid.

According to the Commander of French forces in Chad, Col. Vincent Dollard, while he admits he had no visual information of his own, he maintains there is nothing of any significance is happening in eastern Chad. The French reinforcements sent to Chad last week have been redeployed to their permanent bases in Gabon.

According to the BBC, the Janjaweed, a militia shock force of the Sudanese military in collaboration with Chadian insurgents are in the process of opening up a military corridor between Darfur Sudan and the oil rich eastern region of southern Chad. This operation appears to design to draw the Chadian arms forces out into the open for a military conformation before the rainy season.

In the face of this Chinese backed Sudanese military offensive the weaker Chadian army has elected to withdraw to defensive positions in key towns praying for the rainy season to start. Hundred of thousands of Chadian and Sudan refugees are being forced by the Janjaweed from their homes and herded into squatter concentration camps like Gouroukoun, near the Chad-Sudan border.

This military Mexican stand off has creation a security vacuum that allows the rebels to move their bases forward inside Chad. This vacuum is also setting the political pre-condition for the illegal formation of a national provincial government to oppose the elected central government in N’ Djamena. Sultan Saeed Brahim Moustapha is quoted say “The Chadian government has a duty, a national duty, to protect its border and its people.” A Chad major Chad military offensive against the Sudanese military would strain the logistical infrastructure of Chadian army and bring the French forces into direct contact with Sudanese and Chinese military forces.

The Unthinkable Israel and Iran with nukes

Thinking the Unthinkable, Chinese arming Iran with nuclear weapons

Under a Middle East "mutually assured destruction”(MAD) can Israeli and Iran learn to live together?

By Isiah Scott

With a 100,000 American boots on the ground in Iraq and China importing over 3 million barrels per, Israeli role must change to survive.

According to the New York Times A Lobby, Not a Conspiracy “For the terms of strategic debate are shifting East Asia grows daily in importance. Meanwhile our clumsy failure to re-cast the Middle East—and its enduring implications for our standing there—has come into sharp focus.” The failure of the west and Israel in the post WWII period to bring industrialization the Middle East society has created the economies of Hamas rise to state power. This political insight, suggest the New York Times is the basis for the deepening Chinese penetration of US hegemony of the Middle East oil.

In a rare case of real political journalism, the New York Times is a series of articles-- China’s Big Appetite for Oil Is High on Agenda for US, Chinese Leader Focuses on Business as 4-Day US Visit Begin in Washington State, A Lobby, Not a Conspiracy and Iraq II or a Nuclear Iran prepares its readers for the unthinkable. That is, a nuclear armed Iran as a stabilizing force for Middle East peace, using a Chinese application of the principle of a small nuclear deterrent. The New York Times explains the political economy behind the Chinese nuclear arming of Iran and why informed Americans should not be afraid of it.

The New York Time builds the core augment of why Iran is going nuclear around Iran need to protect itself and China’s project need of oil. According to articles from Foreign Affairs, Center for Strategic and International Studies and Oval Office studies projection Chinese need to import 10 million barrels of oil a day (mbpd) by 2025 and a current need of 3.5 mbpd. Using the New York Times logic, China is forced to exchange nuclear arms with Iran for long-term oil supplies in order to meet its deepening oil needs.

Short of the United States government ensuring China’s deepening energy needs, China is forced out of necessity to do what it has to hustle oil imports from rogue states like Iran and Sudan who are demanding nuclear protection and nuclear weapons. Israel with not oil to export to Asia, has no place in the New World order of energy giants fighting for Middle East oil. Israel will have to live with a nuclear Iran, and the possibility of a nuclear-armed Sudan. Under a Middle East "mutually assured destruction”(MAD) Israeli and Iran will learn to live together. Nothing is said about Israeli doctrine of first strike.

It took courage on the part of the New York Times to fully reveal all the dimensions of this emerging critical debate in a single issue of the paper. China massive 205 billion of dollars US trade surplus and national full employment policy is driven China foreign exports. The projected growth in imported oil from 3.5 mbpd by 2025 to 10 mbpd speaks clearly to a changing world order.

Thomas Friedman’s column about the pointless of trying to use military force against Iran, highlight the need to think of Iran’s nuclear program in terms of the MAD frame work and not just either/or terms. Also Friedman points to a major weakness in the US Chinese nuclear containment and nuclear proliferation.

With other oil rich countries like Nigeria, Sudan and Venezuela waiting in the wing for nuclear weapons from China, the New York Times series of article is very timely and should be read and studied by new layers in American political culture.

ExxonMobil and Chinese Oil Companies and Civeden Group

China and US working to take down elected government in Chad
in order to protect oil multi national oil companies

American rebel forces armed and trained by Sudanese and Chinese

According to the New York Time China’s project import oil need, according to articles from Foreign Affairs, Center for Strategic and International Studies and Oval Office studies will be 10 million barrels of oil a day (mbpd) by 2025. China current need to import of 3.5 mbpd. Chad and Sudan oil production potentially could provide between a million to two million mbpd of that need. China is aggressively trying to ensure these countries will remain under it control.

The elected government of Chad has cut a deal with Taiwan to potential share profits 50/50.Chinese and American oil companies are paying less the 5 percent. Chinese has deployed Sudanese backed Chadian rebels to over the government in order to consoildate Chinese control over oil production in Chad.

The Front for the Democratic Change (FDC) rebels group that reportedly attack mainly empty federal governments builds in N’DJAMENA, the capital of Chad, launched their attack from Darfur, Sudan. The insurgent military attack was designed to send a message to the Chadian central government to back off the new oil massive deal with Taiwan. The rebel strike had only psychological value, but did demonstrate the rebel ability to project power cross the country. The attack raised serious questions about how such a large rebel force could penetrate the French defense of Chad to launch a large-scale attack in the capital.

Many in the ranks of the insurgent’s Chadian are living in the United States. Some of the rebels are the subjects of articles in the main stream American media, such as the Christian Science Monitor. Purported the rebels were transported to the capital in Japanese small trucks and SUV’s supplied by the Sudanese military.

The rebel attack was timed for the visit of Taiwan Minister of Foreign Affairs James Huang, in N’DJAMENA . Mr. Huang is in Chad reportedly to counter China’s aggressive attempt to win over elements in the central government and other countries in the region. Chad has developed an oil deal with Taiwan that potential could redefine oil deals in all of East Africa. And at the same time cost China billion of dollars of increase oil cost.

According to the Taipei Times January 19, 2006, Chinese Petroleum of Taiwan signed a contract with the government of Chad to develop a total of 180,000 of barrels of crude. A key term in the deal is a potential 50/50 sharing of revenues. Under these terms would get 50 percent of 4.5 billion dollars or 2.3 billion each year. This would be ten times the amount paid either by the Chinese or American oil companies in the region. The Taiwan oil would have to be transported via the ExxonMobil pipeline out of Chad.

The current Exxon Mobil-led consortium had made over 7 billion dollar on Chad oil between 2003-2005, paying the central government only 207 million dollar. The Taiwan deal potential will set a new international standard profit sharing paying Chad 50 percent or 3.5 billion using the Exxon Mobil deal. This new 50/50 sharing would potential destroy the Chinese’s, ExxonMobil and World Bank existing reimbursement models in Africa. This is the same model that the leadership of South Sudan is trying to create for all new oil deals in southern Sudan. China and other Asian oil companies are pushing Sudanese oil production to 500,000 but are only paying a royalty of 5 percent on each barrel exported.

The Taiwan/Chad deal is model on the terms of Dr.Garang for South Sudan. Under a revenue agreement negotiated by the late Dr. Garang, first Vice President of Sudan and President of the South Sudan and the White Nile Ltd. Oil Company, the South Sudan government and the central government of Sudan would divide 8.4 billion to 10.8 billion in equal shares per year for three years. After that period, the South Sudan would keep all the revenues. This calculation is based on a 60/40 ratio of revenue sharing. This does not account for the fact that White Nile Ltd. is 50 percent owned by state-owned Nile Petroleum Corporation of South Sudan.

The While Nile revenue sharing regime is four times greater or 3 to 4 billion more each year than the Total SA revenue regime. The South Sudan government would have 4.2 billion to 5.4 billion for its future operational budget. Also, the South Sudan government could leverage its revenue for many different types of loans to address pressing issues like education, health care, national defense or Darfur.

This revenue sharing regime with White Nile would realize far more revenue for the new South Sudan state. Four to five times the amount of oil revenues the first six years and 10 times the amount of Total oil company revenue sharing regime after year six. The different in the two regimes over just six years in 18 to 24 billion dollars of social programming. For a poor struggle country like South Sudan that a lot of money for a lot of needs. The immediate needs of Darfur are estimated at 2 billion dollar.

For the war torned southern regions of Chad and Sudan this potential increase oil revenues is very critical to southern Chad and Sudan recovery and economic development. The Taiwan/Chad oil deal would open the door for South Sudan to create the same kind of deals. This would force the Chinese, French and Americans oil companies to share 50/50 with the East African countries, rather than give then a royalty that is nothing compare to the world market value of the oil.

The Exxon Mobile Cameroon/Chad pipeline is located near the Chinese major Cliveden Group oil fields, which are right next to the French oil multinational Total SA Block B claim.

In 2003, President Bush fired Africa last best hope Colin Powell and started the policy transition to acquiesce to the US oil lobby delusion of partnership with the China National Petroleum Crop in Sudan. Paul Wolfowitz, the new president of the World Bank and his Department of Defense planners and Special Forces has replaced the US State Department function on the ground in Sudan.

The White House aggressive facilitation of Black Sudanese genocide is designed to show the Chinese government, their ability to broker a deal to control the Black Southern Sudanese problem.

This is the secrete logic behind President Bush’s fusion of the CIA and Sudan intelligence operations and the open refusal to arm the Sudan People Liberation Army to defense the Black Sudanese or the people of Darfur. The Oval Office is trying to make Chad and southern Sudan political safe for expanding Chinese oil production, in exchange for China allowing US oil companies to increase production in Chad and start production in Sudan. The US oil lobby is trying to build a strong need dependency element in the emerging US/Chinese partnership for oil production in Sudan.

Americans are deeply concerned about the political situation in East Africa, particularly the US oil lobby takeover of the post Colin Powell US Sudanese policy of “look the other way” policy toward Sudanese central government. The continued collapse of American support for the Iraq war is limiting the option of the Bush Administration ability to brokering the next phase of end of the Sudan civil war.

The Oval Office appears to be using the American public fears of civil wars in East Africa to justified the abandonment any official containment of Chinese expansion in Sudan and try to take part of the Sudan oil riches for the American oil multinationals.

At the core of the application of this new Oval Office policy is the secret support of an illegal American oil operation (Cliveden Chad- Sudan) using Chadian rebels, some American, trained and equipped by Sudan and Chinese military forces, cooperating with US/French force for the past two years in Darfur. This back door US oil lobby move into Sudan has reduced the US civil right policy toward Black Sudanese to nothing more than a cheap political ruse.

South Sudan Death March of Four Million

South Sudan crisis Part I

Black Sudanese forced death march to South Sudan

The Katrina tragedy and the death or officially missing of 40,000 African American has open the emotional opportunity for Black Northern Americans to integrated a shared deepen political connection and understanding of the common struggle of Africans around the world.

The story, the oilmen and private spooks are the same for New Orleans, Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon and Sudan.

The same multi nationals now feeding on the pain and suffering of Black people in New Orleans have created and manage African crises like the forced southern Sudanese death march.

President Bush took advantages of hurricane Katrina to create and manage the depopulation and downsizing of the industrial region of New Orleans.

Just as the destruction of the city of New Orleans was a detailed planed, so is the Sudanese death march a very detailed plan.

National security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld fired Secretary of State Colin Powell, in order to turn what was planned as a march to freedom and growth in the new country of South Sudan, into a death march to despair.

Southern Sudan is being readied for a New Orleans style rescue by the US military and reconstruction (looting) by Halliburton, Bechtel, Flour and CH2M Hill.

The Bush admistration and US military is working directly with the China government and military in coordinating the multimillion Black Sudanese death march south.

The Chinese have created military Condon sanitaria around their oil operations in southern Sudan and are refusing to allow the Black Sudanese to use their oil maintance roads (the only paved surfaces in the south) to either transport people or food and supplies to the refugee camps.

The US oil companies endgames appears to be the joint US/China take over southern Sudanese oil production model on the British/US military southern Iraq paradigm.

While the world was transfixed on the Bush create African American horror in New Orleans, Rice, Cheney-Rumsfeld cabal, using the new Rumsfeld lackeys at the US World Bank have forced the death march millions of Black Sudanese to move forward against international Red Cross and other aid agencies protest.

The oil companies that control the state of Louisiana also control the countries of Nigeria, Cameroon and Chad. These same oil companies, via the World Bank are trying to take control of the oil rich emerging country of South Sudan. Many of the same spooks and oilmen that are operating in New Orleans just arrived from performing covert operations in southern Sudan and other black African States.

The willful flooding of the Black ghettos of New Orleans is every day terror in southern Sudan. The alligators that President Bush sat and watched attack black children in New Orleans are waiting in most rivers crossing on the death march trail to south Sudan.

Over 4 million displaced Sudanese or 8 times the population of New Orleans are being forced to unwilling return to their destroyed home and villages in the South during the high wet season with no food, money or seeds for the fall planting.

200,000 Southern Sudan or half the population of Harlem, New York; already living in UN northern Sudanese death camps are being push forced out of the camps and on to the 700-mile forced march to the south.

Black Sudanese are being forced to walk hundreds of mile through alligator infested swamps.

Many youth Sudanese were born in the highly urbanized North and know nothing about farming or agriculture living.

Two million alone are being forced to migrate from the capital over 600 miles back to south Sudan. The Black Sudanese are being beaten, rape, murder and enslaved by the Janjaweed and other militias as they walk southward.

Planned collapse of fragile social service delivery system
The addition of millions of displaced Sudanese will collapse the all ready fragile and strained social service delivery system of southern Sudan. The SPLM leadership authority will be serious threaten by social and political triage and tribal fragmentation.

The Bush administration and World Bank are fully aware of this deepening collapse of social services in southern Sudan.

Paul Wolfowitz the new president of thee World Bank (former architect of the invasion 0f Iraq) is forcing the southern Sudanese death march in order to try and overwhelm what is left of the southern Sudanese social services delivery infrastructure.

Paul Wolfowitz hopes this US imposed acute malnutrition and starvation of returning southern Sudanese will politically forced the SPLM leadership to submit to the World Bank takeover and control of the emerging south Sudan oil wealth exchange for immediate release of badly needed donors relief funding.

The World Bank is trying to extend its financial control of the Cameroon-Chad pipeline to new oil production in southern Sudan.


The PLO defenseless national model for the South

US will not allow the south Sudanese people to means to defense their freedom or oil rich land: the SPLA is designed on the PLO model of defenseless national defense. The Chinese and US have created the SPLA to function as a national police force.

Deployment of a few cruise missiles systems by the Sudanese Peoples Liberation Army would function as an almost prefect military deterrent to further f attacks by the Sudanese government and Janjaweed. This cruise missile deterrent would allow protection for the orderly migration of southern Sudanese people home.

The cruise missile defense system would reduce the over all cost of defense for the new nation. The economic development of southern Sudan would not be retarded by useless investments in expensive foreign defense systems.

The US and Chinese governments have refused to allow the southern Sudanese access to cruse missiles, because they fear the missile will also be used to protect the southern oil fields from foreign oil companies.

While the SPLA military forces have been administratively been raised to the same level as the Sudanese military, they lack the force levels, arms, equipment, logistical support and mobility to secure the southern Sudan.

The US and western countries have refused to allow the SPLM forces to buy modern cheap short-range land-based non-nuclear cruises missiles and uplinks to military satellite-based real-time battle field intelligence or GPS locators to better defend against attacks by the Sudanese and Janjaweed forces known forward operational bases and air fields threatening the security of southern Sudan and the peace agreement.

In an address before the US Congressional Black Caucus last fall (2004) in Washington, Dr. Garang warned of the possible of a southern death march and asked for African American support for a UN funded a force of heavily armed Sudanese, SPLA and foreign forces to neutralize the Darfur fighting.

The President Bush, China lobby and US oil lobby strongly rejected the Garang idea of a cruse missile-based Colombian Plan B anti terrorist mobile defense system. The growing support for a southern Sudan self-defense lobby in the Black community and Washington was isolated.

Secretary Powell was removed from his position in part done to his pro SPLA positions.

The idea of a helicopter-based heavily armed SPLM army was rejected by the Bush administration and France, in part because it would raise the force level of 10,000 SPLA forces and integrate them deep into the UN command and control structure. Also, the southern Sudan army would be in striking distance of the French forward bases in Chad and Chinese forces in Darfur.

A modern armed SPLA force would remove the political persona of the African Union military fiction. The US fears that the Chinese oil infrastructure and future US oil company’s partnerships with Chinese oil companies would be threaten by armed SPLA forces.

Also, the SPLM forces would be tactically protecting the multi billion-dollar Block Ba oil fields from a land attack from French forces from Chad.

This same SPLM forces of 10,000 troops could then have been easy redeployed from Darfur and positioned to protect the masses of southern Sudanese moving south against attacks by Sudanese and Janjaweed forces.

The southern Sudan self-defense idea would negate direct dependency on US political will and US military force that in the pass has passively Black Sudanese murdered.

The Garang mobile defense idea was killed by the Bush administration.

The SPLM leadership is now forced to dependent on the passive threat of US naval cruise missiles in the Red Sea.

Lack financial infrastructure
The political myth is that the Bush administration created the ruse of over focus with writing the agreement to end the Sudan civil war. The reality is that the South Sudan is without the necessary administration and banking infrastructure to operate the southern economy or receive massive amounts of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI).

The modern banking system is necessary to build an agribusiness based southern economy. The World Bank is stonewalling the development of the southern banking system in order to try and buy time for the Halliburton and other Bush administration companies to take control of the larger construction projects.

Right now the South Sudan government is forced to live hand to month on 500 million dollars a year of donor’s money. The international investment community is waiting to move billions of dollars of investments into the oil rich economy of the southern Sudan to help the southern Sudanese but cannot do so because there is no structure in place to make legal investment in South Sudan.

The necessary legal investment instruments are not in place. Almost 100 billion dollars of American investment are in companies doing business in Sudan. Much of this money will concentrate in the southern Sudan once the World Bank control is removed.

The International oil lobby is exploiting this failure of the January Agreement between the SLPM and the Sudanese national government to implement the terms and outline for investment in South Sudan.

This political weakness directly contributed to Dr. Garang death and keeps the SPLM at serious financial risk.

The major multinational oil lobbies in Europe and the United States have quietly and systemically pressured the London capital markets to protect the France Total Oil company claims in southern Sudan.

This is the back door into southern Sudan oil production US oil companies like ExxonMobile are trying to used.

This is being done to try to revoke the legal status of both Nile Petroleum and White Nile Oil Company. This will further contain the financial growth and power of the emerging state South Sudan.

The whole financial relationship between the Sudanese people and the western oil multinationals is being kept out of the mainstream international media.

20-year-old Swiss banking system vs. World Bank
Recurrently assassinate leader Dr. Garang and the SPLM leadership have carefully over 20 years created a powerful and growing independent Swiss-London based banking system to run the financial affairs of southern Sudan.

This totally independent banking system directly threatens the oil lobby and Bush Administration plans to consolidate neo-colonial control of the southern Sudan through control of the national bank system.

The investment power of Wall Street needs to be allowed to turn the human nightmare of Darfur and southern Sudan into one of Africa’s rare success stories. There is a growing moral movement is the US and Western Europe to focus investments in southern Sudan and to reduce investment in the oppressive Northern regions of Sudan.

US investors need the opportunity to share in the southern Sudanese human struggle and Black investment firms must stop passing the humanitarian aid hat around and allow the development of the richest country in Africa.

The Southern Sudanese are trying to change the matrix of thinking about landlocked East African growth potential. The southern Sudanese are trying to counter balance their emerging Asian investments with FDI from the US, particularly from Black Americans.

The German railway builder “Thormaehlen Schweisstechnik AG” is starting construction of a multi billion dollars mass transit system linking hundreds of cities in southern Sudan, Uganda and the Kenyan with the port of Mombassa, on the Indian Ocean.

This project is the second phase of the Sudanese Peoples Liberation Movement master plan to buildout an integrated oil pipeline, railroad and highway mass transit in East Africa in order to open of massive trade.

This modern mass transit system is designed to free East African economies from either exporting via the Chad-Cameroon pipe line service roads to the Atlantic Ocean or being forced to export via ports in Northern Sudan to the Red Sea. Both of these routes have historically been very expensive for most southern Sudanese goods.

This lack of access to a major modern export port has been a key factor is limiting East Africa’s economic competitive advantage and causing massive starvation.

The United State Agency for International Development (USAID) is crash training the core bankers and staff to open branches of the Southern window of the Central Bank in all regions of the South.

According to the Sudanese finance minister, a account was open in February, 2005 in the Central Bank of Sudan to allocate in it the shares of southern Sudan government of oil exports revenues and another account for its share of the locally used crude oil and that these two accounts are to kept in the Central Bank in the capital of Khartoum under the control of General Omar el-Bashir.

This Sudan central government controlled virtual bank is another attempt to control the flow of investments into the southern Sudan. Also, World Bank developed and staffed banking structure is designed to politically and financially challenge the independent millions of dollars accumulating in Swiss- London-based banking accounts.

The virtual Southern Sudan is final, before the World Bank calls for asset-freeze of all SPLM accounts.

These foreign accounts form the core and structure of the real central bank of state in waiting of South Sudan. The SPLM-owned holding company Nile Petroleum Oil Corporation and the multi million-dollar White Nile Oil Company is under attack by the World Bank, major oil multinationals and the London Stock Exchange.

Critical southern Sudan development funds are currently free of the control of for the Sudanese government, the US and World Bank. The death march is designed to force these funds to be consumed by the government to save the starving people.

According to an UNICEF Baseline report published in June 2004, 21.5 percent of Sudanese children under the age of five are suffering from global acute malnutrition – the highest in the world. The primary school completion rate is two percent – the lowest in the world.

Of the 500 million dollars that has been requested for recovery and development assistance in southern Sudan in 2005, only 25 million dollars has been received and a further 25 million dollars has been promised according to the UN humanitarian coordinator in Sudan. That’s about 10 dollars per person planning to return the war torned South Sudan.

Legal battles over oil
As the legal battles are growing between the SPLM, the US and oil multinationals over control of the 300 billion dollar of oil reserves in south Sudan, the SPLM is building a legal war chest outside the direct control of the Sudanese government. The forced death march is designed to make the SPLM draw down on these strategic financial reserves.

A US and European Union pledges of 4.5 billion-dollar World Bank managed development program for the southern Sudan economy drives the death march south.

No major western media outlet is questioning why the Bush administration is pushing the southern migration during the hottest time of the year.

No mainstream media is asking why the US refused to airlift transport motor pools to southern Sudan to move the people from northern Sudan to the south. African Americans troops during WWII operated a Red-ball express in Europe.

Why has the World Bank stopped the use of US forces to provide critical the logistical support. This extraordinary overt act of genocide by the US government against the suffering people of southern Sudan is being pushed out mainstream western coverage of Africa.

There is a selective media blackout of the forced return of Sudanese to their former homes in southern Sudan. The international media has physically moved its Darfur reporting staff and technical infrastructure out of Sudan and refocused its official African reporting mostly to the crisis in Niger. This is being done in order not to have to report the human drama of death march under way in southern Sudan.

Oil lobby makes deadly move on London exchange against South Sudan oil companies.

In addition, there is a growing international deinvestment campaign against Sudan that is destroying future investment potential for the state in waiting South Sudan.

The major multinational oil lobbies in Europe and the United States have quietly and systemically pressured world capital markets to review and revoke the legal status of southern Sudan companies and investments in order to contain the financial growth and power of the emerging state South Sudan.

One oil joint venture from the South Sudan increased 13 time its Initial Offering Price (IOP) and drew in tens of million of dollars. The powerful European Union has allowed its institutions to attack the investment potential of critical SPLM oil ventures to try and legally take southern Sudan oil reserves.

In exchange for allowing the CIA and US Special Forces to establish operational bases in Sudan and share old terrorist intelligence, the Bush administration is looking the other way, as Sudan central government is being very slow in disbursing much need funds agreed to in January accord, to the new South Sudan administration.

This passive aggressive US policy is creating new unnecessary pickets of starvation in Darfur and South Sudan. There continued to be intense infighting between the North and South in negotiations over the new border separating the two states.

The administrative issue of the western territory, which includes Darfur, is not finalized.

United Nation emergency food rescue and social funding level are less than 50 percent of projected need.

Organized Black resistance movements are forming in east and west Darfur reaching out to the SPLM for leadership against the central government.

SLMT military forces have been refused cruise missiles by the US to defense southern Sudan

Given the arms embargo and lack of money, the southern Sudan security forces levels are unable to secure the major cities and road much less protect a new country or clear the Janjaweed forces from southeastern.

Because of the US/Chinese death march policy vast areas of southern Sudan remain outside SLMT administrative control, as was the case of Vice President Garang crash near the border of South Sudan and Uganda. The lack of a regional pave road system adds to the SLMT military burden and limited range. Also, that is the issue of foreign troops both in southern Sudan and other forces massed on the border. Particularly the 1,000 French troops and airfields in Chad positioned to take the Block Ba oil fields.

American Generals must stop being good Germen and trust the American people with the truth

Reasons for Rumsfeld long over due termination

The unnecessary lost of thousands of lives in New Orleans and Iraq

Obey the chain of command like good German generals rather than protect the American people

By Isiah Scott

The Iraq war is a going tragedy that creates death and injuries daily. The immediacy of the TV manipulated emotionalism of Iraq and the over 350 billion dollars expense hides more serious and long-term mistakes being made by Rumsfeld. The most importantly the downsizing of the US military to shadow of itself totally subsumed under the oil centric US Space Command has increasing risk to national security.

Thank God there is no real Soviet threat.

Framing the debate about Rumsfeld job performance on Iraq and not the larger issues hide the depths of his failure. No American general to date had dared to public speak about why a federal rescue forces deployed a month before Katrina stood by and did nothing while American died daily for a week in New Orleans.

The same generals doing Iraq also did New Orleans. Its time for Americans to connect the dots between the two military events.

Ten of thousands of Americans are still missing in New Orleans, and the national debate is about Iraq.

From an oil centric viewpoint, like New Orleans, Rumsfeld has taken control of Iraq oil assets very effectively. His failure, like New Orleans, has been in rebuilding the industrial economy and political structure. Neither of which the oil lobby really cares about. How many manufacturing jobs are being created in Iraq is not in oil centric matrix of thinking about economic recovery. The general attack on the security crisis in Iraq, mask the more important failure of the US military to restart the Iraqi economy. But the failures in Iraq are the tip of a much deeper iceberg.

There have been many failures during the Rumsfeld watch that rises to the level immedicated termination of his job of Secretary of Defense. Some of the major failures that come to mind other than failing to order federal troops to rescue thousands of stranded and dying Americans in New Orleans are:

The failure to build a 300 billion functional anti-missile national defense shield to protect the westren sections of the Untied States against a growing Chinese ICBM missile attack is number one or two on the list for termination after New Orleans. Nothing is being said about the totally unprotected eastern section of the United States.

Rumsfeld has destroyed the critical mass of human capital within in the military developed over 350 years. Rumsfeld has also destroyed the first employer function of the military at a time inner city unemployment is 90 percent. In addition, he has limited the military 500 billion-dollar roles in nurturing the development of digital manufacturing platforms in the inner city. The very American firms that are transferring critical computer integrated manufacturing to China, are the largest US military contractors.

With an 80 billion-dollar intelligence military network, failure to process real time intelligence that was in hand that led to 9/11attack should have been enough to fire Rumsfeld.

US military active support of the going Chinese forced death march of 4 million Black African in Sudan is evil.

Buying advanced wespone systems from the same multinationals arm suppliers who are activity aiding the emergence of Chinese military.

And finally for the creation wasteful and useless US Space Command as the core of the oil centric US military command.

Cheap open market computer logic is replacing the sound judgment of US military field commands. Domes are replacing the micro management skills of uncommissioned offices. Cruise missiles are replacing the military role in aiding economic recovery in target countries. Most US military conflicts transform countries into Bonsai, Haiti or Mogadishu.

The net result is increasing numbers of micro Mogadishu, Somalia. The target populations grow to hate America military projection of power. Third-rate military countries like Chinese are projecting power with three-generation-old Soviet era weapon systems, while the US military strands helplessly by.

The nightmare that has become Iraq is reflective of the culture within the Oval Office of oil centric thinking process that fails to address the basic historical reality of operating a modern industrial economy is the end game of winning the war. The Marshall Plan and winning over the trust of western Europe and Japan was the key to post WWII development, not the nuclear biomes and ICBM missiles.

Iraq is the second war fought under US Space Command and oil centric planning. The coming conflict was Iran is being formulated by the same grouping. Iran is being armed by China with nuclear weapon systems, and all the US can do is threaten WWIII. The other layers of solution have been removed in the downsizing of the US military.

The historic number of retired generals who have gone public with their called for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld resignation pose a significant question about they silence about the oil centric politicalization of the chain of command that fail to function is the rescuer of the hundred of thousands of stranded Americans in New Orleans.

For almost a full week, the best trained and equipped military rescues force in human history, was locked and loaded off the coast of New Orleans and was not allowed to deploy following Katrina coming ashore. The Americans and the world watch as Vice President Dick Cheney and New Rumsfeld reduce the region of New Orleans to the level of Rwanda in central Africa. Americans were left stranded by the US military on rooftops, begging for their lives in alligator infested waters.

As the nation and world helplessly watch, the same generals crying about Rumsfeld micro-managing Iraq, allowed the Oval Office to break the military chain of command between the National Guard and US military, in order to forced an oil lobby agenda on the states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. These same generals to do the unthinkable, to leave active duty National Guard forces, US allowed military veterans the Oval Office military veterans, babies, children and old people be behind. Mogadishu was created in New Orleans, but the US military relief forces stood by and watched for a week.

If the generals criticism about Iraq and Rumsfeld’s micro management is to be taken serious by the America people, their attacks on Mr. Rumsfeld must be expanded to include the criminal enterprise in New Orleans in which American military forces were forced to activity participated, because no general would take a stand and give the order to rescues the people of New Orleans. The Generals remain collect silent in public about the collapse of the chain of command in New Orleans.

There has been no vigorous debate by the general about the moral right of field commander to disobey orders that directs them to abandon the welfare and well being of a city of American under attack from a kill hurrcanie. Nor has there be any debate about the military inability to stop, contain or defeat the Oval Office insurgency in Washington, that politicalized under the ruse of federalization, to stop the military integration of the North Command under the state of Louisiana National Guard that was fighting Katrina.

Nothing had been said collective by the generals about Rumsfeld contemptuous of the view of senior state military officer about the fascistic nature of the US Space Command and how it has cannibalized mission critical assets that contributed to the lack of respond to Katrina.

The Generals appear to be very conflicted about connecting the dots between the defense secretary’s micro managing of New Orleans and Iraq. The Middle East is just the tip of the iceberg American watch every day.

Criticism of the war in Iraq is safe. The critical analysis of the failure of US military forces in New Orleans is not yet in political fashion. New Orleans reveals the naked political process of how the Oval Office has reduced the US military and its chain of command to little more than over paid corporate storm troopers. New Orleans is a case study of danger of Rumsfeld politically motivated micro management of purely military matters.

As more Generals weigh into the debate about the Defense Secretary’s dismissal, the issue of federalization and integration with National Guard force must be addressed in open public debate.

The Generals must, do what the Oval Office fear; trust the people will support them.

Bush looks the other way, gives Chad to Chinese Oil companies

China oil gaint consolidates in Chad before rainy season
By I.R. Scott

The hidden force in Sudan political economy is the US/Chinese oil Lobby

While the international media has been playing up the ruse of mistrust and mutuality: when in reality US-China oil links are deepening in East Africa. Chinese backed Sudanese and Chadian insurgents have encircled the capital of Chad and are threatening to stop or influence the electoral defeat of President Idriss Deby in the upcoming for May elections.

According to the BBC one hundred of the insurgents captured by the central government of Chad were reportedly mostly Sudanese from the Darfur region of Sudan. The Chad’s main civilian opposition parties are boycotting the May elections.

The Chadian government is making empty threats to military attack the central government for its active and material support of the Chadian insurgents surrounding the N’Djamena, the capital. In any war between Chad and Sudan, the oil rich region of Chad would be lost to Sudan this would allow the partition of the country. The Chadian insurgents have been using Darfur region of Sudan as a military base of operation under the protection of Sudanese and Chinese forces.

Monday, April 17, 2006, Chad withdrew a threat to expel refugees from Sudan’s Darfur region and extended a deadline on a threat halt oil production.

France has say that while it is bolstering its 1,500 troops already in Chad; it well remains politically “neutral” and “would not intervene in internal politics”. This action by the French opens the door to partition of southren Chad.

President Idriss Deby of Chad is also threatening to cut the ExxonMobil-led oil pipe, to force the World Bank to release the nation’s oil profits to fight the Sudanese/Chinese back insurgents.

The active role being play by the World Bank in the apparent regime change in Chad is raising major concern around the world. According to the Financial Time, the 1,000-km pipeline was a model for future (development) schemes in regions like South Sudan.

Americans are deeply concerned about the political situation in East Africa, particularly the US oil lobby takeover of the post Colin Powell US Sudanese policy of “look the other way” policy toward Sudanese central government. The continued collapse of American support for the Iraq war is limiting the option of the Bush Administration ability to brokering the next phase of end of the Sudan civil war.

The Oval Office appears to be using the American public fears of civil wars in East Africa to justified the abandonment any official containment of Chinese expansion in Sudan and try to take part of the Sudan oil riches for the American oil multinationals.

At the core of the application of this new Oval Office policy is the secret support of an illegal American oil operation (Cliveden Sudan) using Sudan troops and Chinese cooperation for the past two years in Darfur. This back door US oil lobby move into Sudan has reduced the US civil right policy toward Black Sudanese to nothing more than a cheap political ruse.

One measure of American concern about the Bush consolidation of an oil centric Sudanese policy is the fact that almost 100 billion dollars of private American funds are invested in foreign companies doing business in Sudan.

The private American investment Sudan is larger than any African state outside of South Africa.

Hidden in the Chadian crisis, is the fact that France, ExxonMobil, Citibank, the Sudanese military, China and US are openly working to take control of both Chad and South Sudan oil.

The Chinese are extending their military condon sanitaria around their oil operations in southern Sudan and are refusing to allow the Black Sudanese to use their oil maintenance roads (the only paved surfaces in the south) to either transport people or food and supplies to the refugee camps. The Chinese oil companies like China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) are pushing the local south Sundaes people, with out any compensation further away from both their oil production sits and the oil pipeline in southern Sudan. The projection of Chinese backed rebels forces to N’Djamena allows the Chinese forces grounds in Sudan to consolidated greater control over southern Chad and Sudan before the annual rainy season starts and the military situation becomes freezes until fall. CNPC is developing oil production in Chad’s Doba Basin.

Chad has diplomatic ties Taiwan. According to the Taipei Times January 19, 2006, Chinese Petroleum of Taiwan signed a contract with the government of Chad to develop a total of 180,000 of barrels of crude. The Taiwan oil would have to be transported via the ExxonMobil pipeline out of Chad. 1,500 France forces and US Space Command protect the pipeline. US naval forces are positioned near Cameroon in a joint US/French taskforce. Other US/French forces are in the Horn of Africa.

The Chinese military command in Sudan needs to upgrade its logistically links between CNPC operations in Chad with other oil production in southern Sudan. Backing the Chad insurgency movement allow Chinese and Sudanese forces to create the necessary logistical supply lines and related infrastructure they need on the ground in eastern Chad to protect Chinese oil interests in the event of a civil war in Chad.

Carefully kept of the westren new is the fact that US military Special Forces are also on the ground in Chad and Sudan and in ships in the Red Sea.

American oil companies are trying to quietly come through the backdoor in Sudan

A British Cannel 4 News investigation has discovered a signed 25-year contact with an American consortium led by the Cliveden Group to drill for oil in southern Sudan and Darfur. In late 2003, Cliveden Sudan acquired the biggest stake in the Block C consortium drilling for oil Block C runs from Darfur to deep into southern Sudan.

Two Chinese corporations were reportedly given an option of 50 percent of the deal. This is the tip of the iceberg of a new White House oil centric shift in US Sudanese policy, led by Condoleezza Rice and Paul Wolfowitz.

Central to any understanding of the current Sudan situation is China’s energy policy and strategic investments in Sudan. But turning a blind eye to the Chinese factor and US oil companies put into in Sudan, the real issues of the political transition in southern Sudan are missed.

China is the chief protector of the central government in Sudan. China supply’s the government with the military and political means to carry out genocide against the people of Sudan. China is backing the Chadian insurgency in order to de facto partition southern Chad and integrate its oil production with the Chinese operation in southern Sudan.

This political exchange between China and Sudan is based on the fact that China imports 10 percent of its oil exported from Sudan. Chinese oil fields in southern Sudan generate the third largest amount of oil exported from Africa.

India and other Asia countries also have major operation in Sudan. The French gaint Total hold claims to the second area, Black B in southern Sudan and is fighting the SPLA in court to take control.

US oil companies are trying to initially piggyback the Chinese relationship in Sudan. The American oil operations in Sudan will use Chinese oil pipelines to export their oil. In the long-term the Cameroon-Chad pipeline was constructed with Darfur and southern Sudan in mind. The Chinese have quietly started buying control of the pipeline via Cliveden.

While it appears that China is welling to political acquiesce to world pressure to some limited free southern Sudan. It remain very unclear, after the fall of the central government of Idriss Deby in Chad, what the nature and form southern Sudan freedom will take in terms of China and other Asia oil companies. The Chad pipeline model was the proto type of new oil deals with oil rich states like South Sudan. With Chinese troops on the grounds, this may change.

Option B, Oval Office gets in bed with Chinese
Having soundly lost the public trust and with little American public support for a US hot war against the Sudan and China to free South Sudan and maybe Darfur, the Oval Office has quietly moved to option B, which called for forcing the SPLA and other Black groups in Sudan to honor the framework of the US brokered power sharing agreement with the central government of Sudan. This agreement allows CNPC and ExxonMobil the opportunity to develop oil production in both Chad and South Sudan.

Central to the Oval Office option B is a World Bank supervised death march of four million Black to southern Sudan. President Bush fantasy is that the Chinese government fearing US and European political pressure about it record trade imbalance will allow US and European oil companies to participate in the rape of Sudan’s oil. This political quid pro quto (thing for thing) is the new Bush Sudanese policy. The Cliveden Group operation is the latest in a series of shell corporations hoping to bring the major western Oil companies back into Sudan.

To show the Chinese that President Bush and the US lobby are real players to be trusted, and can control the post-Garage SPLA leadership, the Oval Office ordered a southern death march.

This death march policy has historical context:

In the 1980’s president Bush turned a blind eye to the oil companies rape of southern Nigeria and the international reports of genocide of the Oyo people. In the 1990’s Bill Clinton turned away from the French oil giant Total SA and Exxon Mobile slaughtered of 800,00 people in Rwanda, Cameroon and Chad. The Colombia Plan was designed to murder local resistance to US oil interests, not stop the flow of drugs into the North Americans ghettos.

The now operational Exxon Mobile Cameroon/Chad pipeline is located near the Cliveden Group oil fields and right next to the French oil multinational Total SA Block B claim.

In 2003, President Bush fired Africa last best hope Colin Powell and started the policy transition to acquiesce to the US oil lobby delusion of partnership with the China National Petroleum Crop in Sudan. Paul Wolfowitz, the new president of the World Bank and his Department of Defense planners and Special Forces has replaced the US State Department function on the ground in Sudan.

The single most disgraceful action of the Oval Office, before New Orleans, has been the aggressive support and participation in the World Bank supervised forced death march of four million Sudanese citizens to war-torn southern Sudan. The White House aggressive facilitation of Black Sudanese genocide is designed to show the Chinese government, their ability to broker a deal to control the Black Sudanese problem.

This is the secrete logic behind President Bush’s fusion of the CIA and Sudan intelligence operations and the open refusal to arm the Sudan People Liberation Army to defense the Black Sudanese or the people of Darfur. The Oval Office is trying to make southern Sudan political safe for expanding Chinese oil production, in exchange for China allowing US oil production. The US oil lobby is trying to build a strong need dependency element in the emerging US/Chinese partnership in oil production in Sudan.

US policy toward Sudan must become an equal balance between agribusiness and oil exports. Only massive development of the southern agriculture economy will change the political situation in Sudan and Central Africa.

The failure of China to force the industrialization of southern Sudanese agriculture is the biggest weakness in the Chinese Sudanese policy toward the Black southern population. The missing step in the limited Chinese industrialization of northern Sudan is the modernization of southern Sudanese agriculture. Sudan, with the richness farmland in Africa, cannot feed itself, either in the north or the south. China lacks the political and technological means to quietly build the physical infrastructure to develop Sudan farming. Japan, Western Europe and the US are best suited to develop the farming sector of the south as the first step toward an industrial society.

Congress’s decision to bar US private investments in Sudan must be amended to allow direct private US investments in southern Sudan and Darfur only to develop agriculture and oil, in that order. The US Congress should impose a special import tax on Chinese imports and use the revenues to create a southern Sudanese development fund, administered by independence US/South Sudan Commission. Other area of Sudan affected by genocide would be added to the fund. The primary function of the fund would be to build infrastructure, i.e. roads, bridges, hospitals, schools, transportation and housing.

In exchange for US support for Chinese oil interest in southern Sudan, Congress should force the issue of the central government of Sudan starting to give the SPLA its oil revenues project to be over 50 billion dollars the 8 years and ensure the peace. Rather than just a US imposed no-fly zone, the SPLA should be allowed to defend their own country with cruise missiles centric defense system.

Wall Street to the rescue
Finding the right policy tools for America at this point means bring Wall Street to the table to contain China and US Oil companies in order to ensure industrialization of the argibusessness sector of southern Sudan. As long as the Oval Office continues to put the oil lobby concerns before the strategic interest of the American people Darfur will suffer.

The hardest thing for Americans to find is the political will to lean the hard lessons of Iraq and apply then to Sudan. The most important lesson for southern Sudan is a comprehensive version, plan and road map of the creation of a modern industrialized society. China has a master plan for Sudan, America does not.

President Bush is paralyzed in his East African policy because the Chinese government refuses to allow the US oil lobby and NATO a free hand to turn Sudan into an African Iraq. China imports 10 percent of it oil from Sudan. China built the only operational oil pipe and refineries in Sudan. Most of China’s oil fields and operations in Sudanese are located in the southern areas and Darfur.

This strategic investment Chinese investment in Sudan is protected by Chinese nuclear forces on station in the Red Sea.

Any change in the political situation in Sudan must be negotiated within the framework of the Chinese African energy policy. Central to the Chinese African energy policy is expanding African oil exports to meet growing energy needs in Asia. Sudan is one of China’s major African partners. Sudan is China’s largest overseas oil project. China maintains military forces both in Sudan and within the region to protect its oil infrastructure and other Sudanese investments.

Chinese generals have publicly stated any military threat to Chinese strategic interest around the world could trigger a nuclear response. China maintains a small nuclear force in the Red Sea. Any real United Nation force deployed to separate southern Sudan from the central government would have to deal with the immediate potential of a Chinese nuclear threat.

China is politically sensitive to its role in the genocide of Black, but the economic necessity of the oil imports to the growth of the Chinese industrial economy over rides the genocide. The larger political economy of the US/China trade and debt relationship negates any major US initiative against Chinese interest in either Sudan or East Africa.

FEMA Guidelines Political expediency Russian Roulette

FEMA for New Orleans turns regional urban renewal in a boomtown nightmare

By Isiah Scott

The unexpectedly lenient FEMA guidelines of only three feet above ground for rebuilding the flood-damaged home in New Orleans is political expedient and designed to help Republicans around the country in their election campaigns. Many areas of the city are ten feet below sea level and still have the high water point of Katrina marked on clearly buildings around the city.

So why would FEMA allow people to rebuild on only three feet? The guidelines are the latest in the Oval Office New Orleans recovery horror story. The Bush administration has openly abdicated, once again, its central responsibility in guiding the recovery of the industrial economy of the New Orleans region.

Rather than watching the construction of the phase of a new levee system to protect the city of New Orleans and its people the last seven months, political chaos has ruled.

The FEMA ruling ensures that nation and the world will now watch the horror of as thousands of New Orleanains rushing like Sudanese in the rainy season to rebuild their homes under the immediate the fear and real threat of the next big hurricane hitting the city and flooding out their dreams. The Oval Office is freeing itself and the Republican party of difficult political task of forcing the oil and chemical companies to pay for a real environmental clean up of petrochemical toxins to make way for serious rebuilding.

The next serious or hurricane in or near New Orleans will backfilled the Lower Ninth Ward forcing the to once again to leave. The inundation will be played as national new and seal the fate of many Black communities are little more than toxic waste dumps.

With no major investments or industry coming into the region, many Northern Gulf of Mexico communities have been forced to turn to reinvest their life savings into
levee-less suicide French country style urban communities.

These levee-less French styled cheap modular communities are one storm away from another Biloxi nightmare New York Times and other newspaper are reporting on the so-called “New Urbanism” in which former industrial towns in southern Louisiana and Mississippi have been hollowed out of their industries and are being forced to downsize to “historic theme development” shells depopulated by their working classes and Black segments.
The systemic destruction of Black private homes in New Orleans continues unabated. The new boom town rush will show the world, the raw Darwinian aspects of inner city redevelopment. Work class people are incasing unablerebuildbild in New Orleans because of lack of public schools employmentites to support renting or buying a home.

The strategic industrial debate of what kind of postindustrial economy that has reemerged in New Orleans is quieting moving forward with little serious Black input.

Many in the Black media ask who is driving this train? Need only look to New York –based oil companies.

Having been publicly discredited in the national media, New Orleans city government is now pushing false hopes and programmed failure, rather than urban planning. This wild wild west approach to urban planning is being done, while the application for a second massive multinational waste management group, Newport Environmental Services (NES) LLC, which owns a 700-area parcel along Paris Road are being push through various levels of local, state and federal government. The project is 9 times the size of the Chef Menteur landfill. The NES Group has also applied for a state permit and two federal permits needed to open the landfill.

The new landfills in East New Orleans are the latest in a series of pre-Katrina carefully designed political moves by the oil lobby to fast track removal of toxic petrochemical debris removal from the New Orleans in order to save the multinational oil companies billions and limited legal exposure. Over five million tons of debris has been force into the city dump at Gentilly and other dumps located in the city.

The New Orleans region has reportedly over 55 million cubic yards of waste that must be removed and nowhere to legally dump in the city of New Orleans. While the human drama of the New Orleans boom town is watch daily by the nation and the world, illegal the petrochemical waste and missing human bodies will disappear at night into waste dumps in east New Orleans

Southren Sudan the White house urban model for New Orleans

Dr. Garang assassination blue print
For Oval Office lack of response in New Orleans
then and now

By Isiah Scott

Two almost for gotten international events near Sudan in northern Africa would shape the entire debate about when President Bush and the Oval Office first knew about the massive flooding in New Orleans. These events in far away Northeastern Africa was service as the exact paradigm and method use by the oil multinationals and White House to cover up their action in New Orleans ten days later.

These events would service as a blessing to Americans seeking the real truth and method used by the oil companies and Oval Office behind the political economy of Katrina.

The Katyusha missile attacks by persons from Jordan on Friday, Aug 18, 2005 at 8:44 am, that narrowly missed two US Navy ships in the Northern Red Sea, brought into questions a possible planed attack on Dr. Garang helicopter crash on August 1,2005 that led to his death and major spike in World energy prices that led to hundred of billions of dollars of profit taking in the option and future markets around the world.

The Katyusha missile shots taken by three different teams at two US ships were viewed by both the target ships radar, the 5th Fleet command, Space Command and Washington in real time feeds. This was the US network centric system protecting US military forces under attack. The some military surveillance infrastructure watching the shots taken at the two US ships was in place during the Garang event and later over New Orleans when Katrina made landfill.

Western media reports point to the fact that President Bush knew in real-time satellite imagery that Dr.Garang had crashed and did nothing to help his situation. Dr. Garang “May Day” radio message for help would have been heard by anyone listening with a military radio, much less an advanced US surveillance satellite. The fireball from Dr. Garang helicopter crash would have been viewable from the space shuttle Discovery or International Space Station.

Like New Orleans, one of the newly deployed surveillance satellites groups by US Space Command known as the Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) was on station in the Red Sea monitoring the region and Chinese military forces in Sudan. This advanced tracking device, based in space, which pinpoint and can follow the smallest of targets on earth. GMTI, according to US Air Force public documents, improves US ability to ‘detect, locate, identify and track a wide range of strategic and tactical targets before there were minimal able to detect, such as nuclear, biological and chemical weapons and activities, hidden targets and moving air target's like slow flying Soviet helicopters in southern Sudan.

Like New Orleans, US Special Forces were on the ground in Sudan, Uganda and Kenya reportedly looking for Arab terrorist cells and were moved to the Dr. Garang crash site in minutes. Two US navy’s 5th Fleet battle groups were on station in the Red Sea with power Aegis radar that monitor movement in the target zone. The 26th Marine Expeditionary Units were on station of the coast of southern Sudan.

The Sudanese region was super charge with on going intelligence operations by Chinese, Israel, French, British, German and American forces on the ground and water. But, officially no one knows anything about the Garang crash. Also a new fleet of cruisers and destroyers with powerful Aegis systems monitor southern Sudan air traffic. Given the fact that Dr.Garang was a high value asset, his craft would appear on all the above countries radar screens and radio listening intercepts.

Like New Orleans, experts from the United State National Transportation Safety Board have official joined the official effort of the CIA, NSC, US Navy, US Special Forces and British Secret Intelligence Services (M16) and US Space Command to help the countries of the region reconstruct the day of Dr. Garange possible assassination from the crash site in southern Sudan. These experts in Sudan reviewed real time live video of the layers of surveillance infrastructure that watching Dr.Garang helicopter crash. The Garange assassination final report has been classified for national security reasons.

Some suggest the US federal delegation to Sudan tried to secretly trying to stop the growing media leaks about the CIA surveillance of Dr. Garang movements. From information surfacing in the media, the investigation of Dr. Garang may be a US deception to cover up the US surveillance operation.

The Sudanese analysis, like New Orleans, was that the US knowing watched and did nothing to assist Dr. Garang problemic helicopter crash. This habitual Oval Office behavior would be repeated to the letter 10 days later in New Orleans.

Katrina turn north saved thousands of lives in New Orleans

Was Katrina, Rita blessings in disguise?

By Isiah Scott

The deadly northern sector of the storm was on a path to come right up the Mississippi River. Katrina was projected to come ashore and hit the New Orleans region with 200 mph blast winds and a 35 feet storm surge and end by bombarding and inundating the city with billion of gallon of rain and massive Lake and river storms surges of 35 feet flooding the whole city.
Had Katrina’s northeast section directly hit the city the entire New Orleans area would have been under 30 feet of floodwater for days and over 200,000 - 300,000 people left behind would have lost their lives? This human tragedy in New Orleans would have been followed by the sister storm Rita, that would have destroyed any remaining infrastructure and hope of the city recovering for over 20 years.

The fact that there were less than ten major breaches in the levees was a blessing. The delayed ruptures at 17th Street and London Avenue Canal and Hurricane Katrina landing 100 mile north of city at Biloxi allowed for the orderly evacuation of city New Orleans, had the President acted in a timely manor.

Katrina northeast of New Orleans landing, in the political sensitive rich white community of Biloxi and the US military refusal to send aid to the region, make clear to the nation the degree of ruthlessness of the Oval Office oil centric plan. In the case of both Katrina and the sister storm Rita, God allowed the poorest and weakest of his people the opportunity to be evacuated. The evil forces greed were active in the Oval Office that slowed the largest lock and loaded rescue force in US history for over a week.

According to Maureen Dowd, in the New York Times article, 9/3/05, “United States of Shame” the national Federal Emergency Management Agency officials practiced on a “fake hurricane that caused floods and stranded New Orleans residents. The fake hurricane was called PAM outline details plans and tasks for the city of New Orleans, the National Guard and the US military for a massive first hour rescue of ten of thousands of evacuees after a direct hit by a kill hurricane.

The PAM FEMA plan was based on a direct hit by a Katrina like storm on the New Orleans region with a death tolls as high as 61,000. According to the American Red Cross, in the December 8, 2005 National Geographic over 500,000 evacuees was still in hotel after Katrina. Many of these people would have died, had Katrina made a direct hit on New Orleans. (See Nubianobserver, “ On Evil”)

Katrina and Rita missed directly striking the city New Orleans .Many people in the American faith community have asked very important questions about God will and the tragedy in New Orleans. The actual facts surrounding Katrina reveal some very interesting spiritual points. There were a number of spirituals based warning about Katrina coming. Many churches were full or near full the Sunday before the storm. Katrina was nick named the “Big One Coming”.
There reportedly was a very spiritual force in the Gulf of Mexico before the storm.

Firstly, the storm Katrina was elements of two storms, not a single depression. Some suggest the first was attacked and left for die by US Space Command, only to reform and linkup with the next storm. Katrina should have become history when it made land the first and second time in southern Florida. Once Katrina reached the Gulf of Mexico it transformed into the most powerful hurricane in US history.

Does these thing count as a blessings?For reasons only that the Oval Office, the oil lobby and a select weather intelligence groups know and that few other people have explained, at the last minutes wobbled and Katrina turn north-missing a direct hit on New Orleans by 100 miles. The southwestern edge of Katrina hit New Orleans region. The New Orleans region and its people were blessed to survive the two most powerful storms in US history. Does that count as a blessing?

The rupture of 17th Street levee was an act of evil-by-evil men not God. At best, the massive levee failures in New Orleans reflect criminal level maintenance problems. The fact that Katrina and Rita missed New Orleans is forcing an international debate on the crumbling New Orleans levee system and the deeper need for massive infrastructure investment in American cities near water. Over 70 percent of the American populations live in reach of a kill storm or Weapon of Mass destruction nature event.

No one in his right mind, including President Bush own brother would sub-contract a massive hurricane rescue operation to the Oval Office right now. Does that count as a blessing?

The emerging evidence provides that the Black people of the New Orleans metropolitan area are not guilty for the state violence and terrorism committed by the Bush administration, Chemical and Oil companies on their person, minds and spirits. This violence happened because of the President massive power and the misuse of that power.

Rather than protect the people of New Orleans, the President elected to protect the interests of the Chemical and Oil companies at the expense of the Black people of New Orleans. This is clear to almost all Americans and the city of Houston.

There is a multi billion dollar on going media campaign to try and fused together the hurricane Katrina with suspicious man-made flooding of the city of a full day after Katrina was hundred of miles inland.

In a rare case of agreement, both the Wall Street Journal and Final Call newspapers are in agreement that the rupture of the 17th Street levee was not cause by the storm Katrina. This agreement has been totally blacked on of the white media. Does thing count as a blessing.

Katrina missed New Orleans, passing 100 miles north
Hurricane Katrina was a new kind of deadly storm. The hurricane was so strong, according to the New York Times, Sunday, winds reach over 178 mph and according to some local reports a tide wave of 35 feet, that surge reached five miles inland when it come ashore.

But more importantly, the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrian system in the region also was attacked with billion of gallons of rain over whelming the regional drainage system. The older weaker pimps and levees were destroyed by the initial storm surge from the lake of Pontchartrian.

Even the newer and much stronger levees were strained by the water displacement cause by the billion of gallons of water from the regional draining into the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrian.

New Orleans was attack by the southwestern most outer edge of Katrina 200-mile wide storm footprint. Still the storm flooded over 80 percent of the city over 16 hour period .A more direct hit, would have easily flooded the whole city under 35 feet of water. The Oil industry/FEMA PAM simulations would have entombs and almost a 100,000 victims. The Superdome and Convention center would have been death traps for 60,000 victims.

Washington knew the dynamic and power of this military style ultra catastrophic class hurricane but said nothing to the Governor Office. Some how the Governor knew Katrina would turn north and refused to give into President Bush demand to federalize the Louisiana National Guard.

Minutes after New Orleans sustains the first hit of Katrina the local news outlets reported the Industrial Channel levee failure. But the word on the street was that there is limited flooding around Lake Pontchartrian at the Industrial levee.

This was not new for New Orleans; the levees always link after storms.

The hospitals in the Northern ghettos reports massive local flooding and reported being forced to go to backup power generation. With only 20 percent of the city flooded, the Northern New Orleans power grid was turned off. Then the intercity power grid collapses.

The last time the city of New Orleans has a citywide operational communication grid; the National Hurricane Center at 9:45 am on 8/28/2005 downgraded the critical storm surge predictions for the Mississippi and Lake Pontchartrian near New Orleans to 15 feet from the earlier 28 feet projection. The local news was reporting that the Hurricane missed New Orleans, passing 25 miles north.

Washington watched, listened and waited. Washington confronts Blanco team with the results of the night flood, off the same deal, which was rejected again. Thousands of New Orleans has unnecessarily paid the high price of freedom and states rights.

The FEMA misinformation on the street was that there is limited flooding around Lake Pontchartrian and a break at the Industrial levee. Homeless people were to make their way to the Superdome for help, 60,000 people did so. With no telephones, power or TVs communication, few people would know until morning that a second and third levees critical levee in their immediate communities has broken and started inundating the lower points of the community with deadly flood waters from Lake Pontchartrian, as they slept.

Most of the thousands of people lost the lives, not to Katrina, but the unabated flooding that following in the night. Had the President deployed the federal forces hours after the storm hit, most of the viticms would have been saved.

According to Michael Chertoff, Secretary of Homeland Security, “we’re racing the clock” to find stranded people. This was in point of face a lie. The whole of the federal government was watching Americans die from the sidelines, playing political hardball. Officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said they were particularly worried about outbreaks of disease spread through sewage contamination of drinking water, spoiled food, dead human bodies, insects and bites from snakes and other animals.

According to Dr.Thomas H. Sinks, Jr., an epidemiologist at the C.D.C “This (New Orleans) is going to be a long-term event”. The affected area is “a couple of hundred miles wide, four to five times the geographic extent of Hurricane Andrew in 1992.”

The C.D.C. is was testing the chemical toxicity of the New Orleans floodwater; this test will form the bases for the trillion-dollar compensation fund for the victims and savors of the battle of New Orleans that will be funded by the multinational au companies.

The world is forced to watch the last trapped African American refugees and homeless people being forced to share the 20 percent of remaining dry lands of New Orleans with hungry rats, fire ants, snakes, and alligators.

It’s remain incomprehensible for most people of New Orleans, America and the World community to understand that regional rescues plan for New Orleans to assumed that 200,000 people would be lost.

Just as a US general track the storm from Cuba said on MSNBC at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, there was no need to preposition emergency assets in the target kill of the Industrial Canal sector of the city. The US military plan was to let the storm hit New Orleans, then rash in with massive aid. This was the Home Security master plan.

The greatest fear of legal containment of the contamination from the mix of sewage, pesticides, fertilizers, oil and other toxic chemicals in the waters in New Orleans and other communities ravaged by the Katrina was the top priority of New York City legal staff of the major oil companies with facilities in the North Gulf of Mexico.

The Bush administration response to Katrina was framed by the immediate financial and legal needs of the US oil companies operating in the Gulf of Mexico, not the needs of stranded and dying American citizens in the aftermath of Katrina and Rita. Bush actions were driven not by rascism toward Black Americans, but the imperative to protect the oil companies from paying out hundred of billion of dollars of claims to flood victims, most of whom are African Americans.

This financial matrix reality driving oil company’s policy toward the flood victims and the White House is starting to break black out of the mainstream press coverage of the aftermath of Katrina and Rita. New layers of the American politican and spiritual culture have been awaken by horror and human suffering in New Orleans, and are joint together to ensure it never happens again.

Was Katrina, Rita blessing in disguise?

Oil Lobby makes move on next toxic nightmare in New Orleans

Oil lobby makes move on next Petrochemical “Dante’s Inferno” in East New Orleans

Oil industry master plan for a group of toxic waste dumps in New Orleans move closer reality.

East New Orleans today, Lower Ninth Ward after the first major flood
By Isiah Scott

On Fed 14, Mayor Ray Nagin used his emergency powers to suspend the city’s zoning ordinance and grant a condition use permit to Waste Management for the Chef Menteur landfill in exchange for a donation of 22 perecent of the gross revenue of the new landfill to the city of New Orleans. This "thing for a thing "political arrangement was a national embarrassment for the mayor. Even lewis Libby could have doe a better job of coving up his mistake

Having been publicly discredited in the national media, the mayor, so-called diamond in the rough Margie Eugene-Richard and the rest of New Orleans city government is now forced to process a second multinational waste management group, Newport Environmental Services (NES) LLC, which owns a 700-area parcel along Paris Road. The NES landfill project is 9 times the size of the Chef Menteur and would be the largest in the country. The NES Group has also applied for a state permit and two federal permits needed to open the landfill and apears to have connection all the way to the Oval Office.

The new landfills in East New Orleans are the latest in a series of pre-Katrina carefully designed backroom political moves by the oil lobby to fast track removal of toxic petrochemical debris removal from the New Orleans in order to save paying out billions while limiting their legal exposure.

Over five million cubic yards of debris has been force into the city dump at Gentilly and other dumps located in the city.

The New Orleans region has reportedly over 55 million cubic yards of waste that must be removed and nowhere to legally dump in the city of New Orleans.

The existing and plans dumps cannot legal handle all the additional waste. Abandoned industrials parks and flooded ghettos in the inner city flooded by Katrina and Rita offer the oil companies the cheapest solution to their need for landfills for their oil and chemical toxic waste.

An unknown but very toxic amount of petrochemical waste must be disposed secretly to limit legal claims to oil and chemical companies.

The cost of making the contaminated inner city communities livable by humans and replacement of the schools, colleges, hospitals and other public infrastructure would cost the oil and chemical companies hundreds of billion of dollars. The oil lobby to date has refused to even acknowledge, much less pay this multi billion-dollar social infrastructure cost. The oil lobby has quietly build support within the business community, Black city leadership and the state leader for local creation of toxic waste dumps within the city of New Orleans in order to saving money in clean up costs while hidding the real degree of petrochemical contamination.

The politician problem is the fact that the oil lobby fears the local white reaction to paying Black homeowners billions of dollars to create private toxic waste dumps in the inner city ghettos. In addition, the oil lobby does not want the general public to know for legal reasons, the degree of actual petrochemical –based contamination still in the region. The depth of petrochemical contamination would be revealed when the thousands of special toxic waste trucks came to transport the toxic waste out New Orleans to private waste dumps.

The nation and the mostly displaced New Orleans African American community returns home to vote, it is trumaizated and transfixed once again by the New York Times and other media reporting of the new discovery of Black Americans bodies and bodies part in the debris in the lower Ninth. This latest chapter of the ongoing FEMA horror story is a critical part of a carefully designed oil lobby media deception to keep the national focus away from the political fight raging in East New Orleans over the new landfill.

A political fight is raging in Vietnamese Catholic East New Orleans community over the oil industry fast tracking Chef Menteur landfills an 88-acre site that has been twice rejected as a landfill. This critcal fight with the oil lobby has been almost completely black out of the mainstream by the oil centric reporting.

The new group of landfills is the next mission critical step in the oil lobby master plan for a network of toxic waste dumps within New Orleans that will be anchored by a even larger back drainage toxic waste water park in the Ninth Ward.

According to the BCC’s Horizon programme the future of the Lower Ninth ward is becoming imprisoned in a large issue of Louisiana’s precious wetlands. That is reportedly three-quarters of New Orleans annual wetland loss happened with Katrina. If the city is to fight “extinction”, according to the wetland argument logic, low lying areas like the Lower Ninth Ward built below sea level should be turned into green space, serving as buffers against floodwater. Embedded in the wetland designed is the potential for a dual use landfill and back drainage lake for periodic city flood. With a weaken 17th Street levee, leaking into the city, the Lower Ninth would as it catch basin. The landfill model for the Ninth Ward is being developed in the designed of the East New Orleans landfill borrows pits.

This future function of saving the city from flood, as a dual use parkland/landfill would set the political stage seizer of the remaining Black homes in the Lower Ninth Ward under an application of the new city power of ‘eminent domain’. This method of taking the land from the black homeowners avoids the political charged issue of the white reaction to Blacks being paid billions of dollar by a private Landfill company. Saving the city of New Orleans by taking the Lower NInth Ward would be the oil lobby battle cry, following the first flooding this year.

The East New Orleans landfill creates all the necessary laws to later do the politically sensitive Lower Ninth Ward.

The two East New Olreans landfills would take up a area larger than lower Manhattan or Old City, Philadelphia. According to the Times-Picayune, the proposed plan call for 110-foot-tall piles of debris, 30 feet of which would be below ground level in borrow pits, according to the permit. Thousands of these de facto open air chemical waste silos would dot East New Orleans near Lake Pontchartrian is immediate reach of Katrina storm surges. The first of the two new landfill would second in size to the Agricultural Street Landfill, 95 acres of municipal and industrial waste. That is nicknamed “Dante’s Inferno”.

The state of Louisiana has expanded the definition of construction and demolition debris includes petrochemical –based waste and “asbestos-containing materials”, among other things. The communities fear that this will open the door to illegal oil and chemical toxic dumping at the site. Waste Management of Louisiana secretly offered the cash –starved city of New Orleans, seven times the revenue (22 perecent of the gross revenue) it is current receiving from the city owned landfill to open the Chef new landfill, a stone’s throw from Bayou Sauvage, the largest urban national wildlife refuge in the Untied States.

The oil lobby needs a political cover too fast-track the new dump. The cove be push right now is the very real coming bankruptcy of the city of New Orleans and other toxic dump target cities in New Orleans like St.Bernard and Cameron metropolitan region.

According to the Time-Picayune, two government watchdog groups, the Bureau of Governmental Research (BGR) and the Public Affairs Research Council (PAR) are suggesting New Orleans considered as an option declaring bankruptcy, in order to reorganize it financial house. According to the Time-Picayune, the city of New Orleans projected revenue will drop from $260 million to only $110 million in 2006. The city debt load is projected to increase. The total outstanding debt stand at $964 million, with debt service estimated at $96 million this year.

The Bush administration and the media very carefully left out New Orleans short-term financial needs out of the $62 billion federal gave away grants in the winter. The President could pay the $ 964 million or the debt service of $96 million out of the $ 5 billion the oil companies pay to drill in federal oil fields off the coast of New Orleans. The oil companies could pick up the 96 million-debt service until the city and region is back on its feet’s. Exxon Mobile has 50 billion is near cash assets alone. The New Orleans financial crisis is political created by the oil lobby to force the creation of toxic waste dumps within the city to avoid paying hundred of billion of dollar in clean up and public infrastructure replacement costs.

What the Time-Picayune or the two government watchdog groups, the Bureau of Governmental Research and the Public Affairs Research Council fail to point is that for the period of recovery, during the bankruptcy the city would be run by a financial board of mainly out of town regional and national banks who primary function is to service the debt. In such a situation, toxic waste dumps would be viewed by the financial board as a means of generating revenues. The city would face to approve any request revenue generating waste dumps.

No one in his right mind would create another toxic waste dump in the city of New Orleans. Much less near communities with large numbers of yuong children.With the largest“Cancer Alley”, the stretch of the Mississippi between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, has more than 140 polluting chemical plants, oil refineries and industries routinely sending their waste discharge downwind or downstream, most into redlined neighborhood that are both black and poor. New Orleans has the nation’s most hazardous Superfund sites and Hurricane Katrina flooded them. According to the E Magazine these five sites include the Thompson-Hayward chemical plant and the Agricultural Street Land. U.S. PIRG reports that Thompson-Hayward prod produced pesticides and herbicides, including DDT and Agent Orange. Closed in 1986, the site was heavily contaminated with dioxin and other toxins and may have been reached by flood waters during Katrina.

The chemical contaminated sediment in the city, partuclarlty in the Lower Ninth Ward and East New Orleans, has made the Black community primary target by the oil companies to archor the new series of toxic waste dumps within the city and region to save the oil companies and insurance industry from paying hundred of billion of dollars in oil and spills clean up costs.

The lower Ninth Ward is two square-mile neighborhood of small house, that was virtually obliterated by Hurricane Katria in 2005. If it were not for a very strong community and national Black support, the area should have a easy target for the oil lobby.

The neighborhood is idea backdrainage area for oil and chemical spills from upstream oil and chemical plant on the Mississippi River and norhtern New Orleans oil and chemical plants operating within the city. Half of the Lower Ninth Ward sits as much as 8 feet below sea level, but much of it is not on the flood plan. Most of the oil and chemical spills from Katrina settled in the neighborhood. This created a legal gold mine.

Rather than pay the peopele the billions of dollars the land is worth as a private toxic waster dump, the oil industry is trying to take the land out right and shift the cost of manitance to the federal Super fund or a priavte company. The oil and chemical companies fear that if they pay the Black peoeple in the Ninth Ward, the industrial fair market valuve of the Ninth Ward, other communities, partuclarly white communites will demand equal payment for the toxic dumps already in their communities.


The oil and chemical companies have been pushing for the creation of a series reopened and new toxic waste sites within the city of New Orleans to dump tons of illegal oil and chemical toxic waste.

Federal and state government of Louisana was been quietly buying properties in highly contamination New Orleans ghettos in order to create a toxic waste site to avoid having the oil companies pay billion of dollars to clean-up the ghetto .

Creation of a large toxic waste dump in the lower Ninth Ward would destroy the industrial core of the New Orleans region while killing the foreign manufacturing investments in New Orleans recovery.

According to Mr. Canizaro, a prominent real estate developer in New Orleans, “ It doesn’t take a genius to figure if you’re only going to have 40 or 50 percent of your original population(New Orleans), then there’s going to be shrinking in the amount of land that’s going to be needed.” Some experts have said that the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans and other low-lying neighborhood should be returned to marshland.

What not being said is these same neighborhoods are worth 300 billion dollars in hidden contamination clean up costs that legally shuold be paid by the oil and chemical companies and not the US tax payers to the New Orleans region. The lower Ninth Ward at 60 percent Black home ownership has the highest African American ownership rate in the state of Louisiana. Black citizens in the lower Ninth Ward are legally entitled to billions of dollars for personal , property damages and the cost of clearing up the petrochemical contanments from the oil companies. Each thousand homeowner paid at one million each would one billion dollars. That not counting the replacement cost of chemically contanmentated water drains, schools, community centers, hospitals and other social infastrucutre.

Why do the oil companies have pay so much money? Because most of the oil and chemical companies spills were located or travaled to the low lying sections of the Black communities like the lower Ninth Ward via the toxic flood water. Even months after the hurricane the contanmentation is still in the water, soil and air.

To protect the oil companies from legal calims the federal has allowed the peoeple of New Orleans to return to their toxic communities. The US Department of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) warns New Orleans residents to avoid contact with arsenic sediments , but refuses to say that its not safe to move back to the ghetto. In many areas of the city and region all the top soil will have to be removed and put in special toxic waste dumps.

To do the clean up right in New Orleans, much of the top soil should be removed, particalrly for the safety of young children. According to E Magazine, a recent Columbia University/Mailman School of Public health found that children exposed to arenic-tainted water from wells in Bangladesh faced reduced intellectual function.

Doing it right means forcing the oil companies to payout billions of dollars to rebuild social infrastructure in the New Orleans industrial region.

This point is missing in most media reporting.
