   Brad’s tongue-in-cheek “who coulda guessed it?” is the point. Almost anyone.

   I wrote about it on April 5 in one of a series of posts about “the peak of the oil wars”.

   Some progressives have said since 2001 that Iraq was an oil war.

   The era of oil wars is upon us, because the powers that be are drug peddlers pushing oil.

   RE #1

   “Some progressives have said since 2001 that Iraq was an oil war” should read “Some progressives have said that since 2001 Iraq was planned as an oil war”

   The only positive in this whole mess is that fascists seem to always overplay their hand. Something to do with being drunk on power.Then the people wake up and say no more.After WWII , they just went underground.Makes for a better object lesson for US humans.Seems like WE have to feel some pain to learn the important lessons.

   “I was Typhoid Mary. I was a Leper with a bell around his neck. I’ve come to realize… The fear of being cut-out from a group of people you respect, and whose respect you want, and normally expect. Ah, that keeps people participating in anything, no… matter… how… terrible.” Daniel Ellsberg
