[cia-drugs] The Closure of the B.P. Oil Field In Alaska -- Update
August 8, 2006 The Closure of the Huge B.P. Oil Field In Alaska -- Update Since the beginning of the current rise in oil prices, have you noticed the pattern? Whenever the heavily manipulated oil market forces combine to allow the price of oil and gasoline to dip -- even if only slightly -- something happens in the world which allows oil speculators to jump the price back up again. In this past weekend, I remarked to my wife that the price of gas at the pump was declining moderately. I felt in my bones that something would happen to bring those retail prices back. NEWS BRIEF: "Oil soars to $77 on Alaska Prudhoe Bay oil field shutdown", My Way News, August 8, 2006 "LONDON (Reuters) - Oil prices eased on Tuesday after scorching to a new record following news BP had begun shutting down the biggest oilfield in the United States, possibly for months. U.S. crude futures were 25 cents lower at $76.73 a barrel by 1100 GMT following a three percent rally on Monday. London Brent crude , which on Monday hit an all-time high of $78.64, was trading 36 cents lower at $77.94 ... BP on Sunday began shutting down its 400,000 barrel per day (bpd) Prudhoe Bay oilfield after discovering a corroded pipeline and said it could be weeks or months before production resumed. The outage adds to traders' concerns about the adequacy of supply in view of violence in the Middle East and prolonged production outages in Nigeria." "It has underlined the vulnerability of the world's aging oil infrastructure, much of which dates back around 30 years. 'There's the Iranian nuclear situation, Israeli action in Lebanon and now we've got rusting infrastructure', said analyst David Dugdale of MFC Global Investment Management." Mr. Dugdale understands the situation quite clearly, does he not? High oil prices are the result of three distinctive crisis, all occurring simultaneously, and all deliberate: 1) Iranian nuclear crisis -- deliberately created, as Iran has possessed military nukes since 2002 and the means to deliver them! (Read NEWS1660) 2) Israeli action in Lebanon -- deliberately created, with incredible advanced planning (Read NEWS2142, "Israel Simply Had To Destroy War-Making Capability of Hamas and Palestinian Authority Within Israel, Plus the Hizbullah in Lebanon") 3) Rusting Oil Infrastructure -- Since the oil companies have enjoyed ever-increasing profits since President Bush took office in January, 2001, , we can only assume that "aging oil infrastructure" is a deliberately created problem, as well. Notice the pattern, as we described above. Whenever you see oil retail prices starting to dip, you can know with certainty that some event is going to occur somewhere in the world which will give oil speculators the excuse to jump on prices, forcing them upward. Now, let us examine the loss of 400,000 barrels of daily oil. While the loss of this magnitude will really hurt the Alaskan Treasury, this quantity is rather insignificant on the global scene, as we see in this next news article. NEWS BRIEF: "Record oil prices forecast as Prudhoe Bay shuts down", Mine Web, 7 August 2006 "RENO--(Mineweb.com) Oil prices shot up to near record levels Monday as London-based BP announced it will shut down the U.S.'s largest oil field, supplying 8% of the nation's total oil production ... Since about 90% of Alaskan oil production is transported to refineries on the west coast, it is anticipated pump prices in the West could rise 10-cents a gallon as a result of the shutdown." Since gas prices on the West Coast will rise only 10 cents per gallon with the loss of this oil field, the immediate jump upward to record high oil prices was clearly speculative, and not based on any fact. This next segment shows that either the United States Strategic Reserve or OPEC are capable of making up this loss of 400,000 barrels per day. "U.S. Energy Secretary Samuel Boddington said, that if asked, he would release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve..." (Ibid.) "OPEC can make up for about 1 million barrels of lost world oil production..." (Ibid.) Therefore, between the American Strategic Reserve and OPEC, the loss of 400,000 barrels of oil every day should prove no problem. The loss can be recouped. However, prices will remain at least as high as they are now, because the Illuminati planned such a steep increase in oil prices in America, indeed, the entire Western World. Just watch for that pattern: whenever oil and gas retail prices show some signs of dipping, some event throughout the world will occur which will allow speculators working for the Elite to drive prices upward again. That event might be minor, like insurgents kidnapping foreign oil workers in a country like Nigeria, or it could be something far more serious, like taking capacity -- either crude or finished product -- off the market.

About the Author Alex von Lockner, GPI, was born into a prominent anti-fascist family in Moscow. Majoring in modern history and diplomacy, von Lockner graduated from the St. Climent of Ohrid University in Sofia. He later attended numerous Soviet and West European high-learning institutions where he earned a Ph.D. in Industrial History. Continuing his education in the United States, von Lockner attended the prestigious Thunderbird -- American Graduate School of International Management, and Harvard Business School, earning an MBA in International Finance and Global Commerce. For fifteen years, von Lockner was a communist KGB State Security intelligence officer and communist party official. In this capacity, he recruited and directed the academic elite of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. They worked to stealthily penetrate advanced western research institutions and corporate facilities. Along with Kim Philby, Robert Maxwell and other KGB trained generals, von Lockner attempted to enhance the Soviet developed socialist economy by means of cunning industrial espionage, high technology thieveries from the West, narcotic smugglings, and weapons trade. Disgruntled by the socio-economic realities of communism, von Lockner came to embrace western pluralism and for years worked as an "agent-in-place" for the CIA. Risking his life in the name of democracy, von Lockner dedicated himself to the American fight against communist malevolence, thereby contributing to the annihilation of Leninist totalitarianism. Craftily exfiltrated from behind the communist Iron Curtain, von Lockner continues to work with the American government in the fight against industrial espionage, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and terrorism. By steadily moving up the senior corporate ladder, von Lockner has recently been guiding and managing leading American corporations in conducting successful international business. Alexander von Lockner resides in southern California with his wife Dominique and their three outstanding children. -__ ___ _ ___ __ ___ _ _ _ __ /-_|-0-\-V-/-\|-|-__|-|-|-/-_| \_-\--_/\-/|-\\-|-_||-V-V-\_-\ |__/_|--//-|_|\_|___|\_A_/|__/ SPY NEWS is OSINT newsletter and discussion list associated to Mario's Cyberspace Station - The Global Intelligence News Portalhttp://mprofaca.cro.netSince you are receiving and reading documents, news stories,comments and opinions not only from so called (or self-proclaimed) "reliable sources", but also a lot of possible misinformation collectedby Spy News moderator and subscribers and posted to Spy Newsfor OSINT purposes - it should

After a nearly 24 month hiatus, it is with great pride and honor that I announce the re-launch of IntellNet.org (http://www.intellnet.org).Founded in early 2000 as a private project to more easily disseminate information, during the 4 years since its creation IntellNet proved itself to be a great source of knowledge. With today's re-launch, The Intelligence Network will stand upon the shoulders of giants in order to see further and push higher; expanding upon the very foundations of the U.S. Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) community. Our potential knows no boundaries and can only ever be limited by our imaginations.It is by no means a mere figure of speech that I referenced Sir Isaac Newton. It is with both humility and courage that we acknowledge those that not only came before, but after as well in what has become a global effort to achieve synergy with the flow of information. In the coming months, we will unveil initiatives designed to enhance and develop current and new capabilities as well as extend our reach into both existing and un-chartered territories. In line with these developments, I have placed the IntellNet website and The OSINT Group under the umbrella of The Intelligence Network where they will be autonomous divisions with similar methods and common goals. New divisions will be created as more initiatives are deployed and we will be increasingly in need of intelligent, savvy and thoughtful individuals to staff them. Additionally, The Intelligence Network will maintain an open door policy to any similar organizations willing to collaborate, on any level in order to further our common goals.If there is anyone who wishes to contribute to the organization or has any questions or comments, please contact me. Finally, it is with those predictions and self-imposed challenges, that we invite you all to become loyal viewers and to make IntellNet what it once was.Contributors Needed!We are desperately looking for contributors who are willing to take some time to post news articles to Intellnet. If you enjoy scouring the internet looking for news articles in obscure places and have a little extra time, please email us and we will be happy to have you. Perks include your name on the site and an @intellnet.org email address.New Al-Qaeda video's releasedIn our continued effort to secure materials for public consumption, IntellNet has found and is hosting the latest Al-Qaeda video's, as described by MSNBC. The new tape levies further threats of terrorism against the United States and shows CQB style practice raids by Mujahideen as well as a Sept 11th video, which, according to MSNBC, has been closely held by the US government and Intelligence Community.The Intelligence Network's home on IRCWe have found a new medium on which to plant our flag; Internet Relay Chat (IRC). The events of September 11, 2001 proved that in times of extreme crisis alternate means of communication and information dissemination are needed. With cellular networks bogged down, landlines blocked to allow for emergency communications, mainstream news websites shut down, etc., there needs to be a maximization of what resources are left to the general population. Since that day, I have made it a primary goal of this organization to seek out better ways of disseminating information. Given the distributed nature of IRC, this was quite clearly the logical next step. The way we intend to enhance our dissemination capabilities is with a "robot" that will sit in the channel 24/7/365 to both allow users to interact with the website through the robot and to keep people in the channel up-to-date on breaking news. This functionality isn't yet built into the bot, however we are working on it. We are looking for programmers familiar with TCL and databasing who are willing to donate some time into building this functionality. If you have those skills and feel you have some extra time, please feel free to email us [EMAIL PROTECTED].For more information on what IRC is and how to use it, please see IRC Help or mIRC IRC Frequently Asked Questions.We are located on the Suidnet IRC network. They offer a secure means of communication via IRC, however you are not required to make use of the added security. For more information on the network and how to enable the added security, please see their homepage at http://www.suidnet.org. We recommend connecting with irc.munchkins.net. Our channel is #intellnet. We hope to see you there!Intellnet back up!We finally found a hosting provider, albeit one that we are paying for. I just wanted to let everyone who gave us their support (either financially or verbally in the form of appreciation) know that it really meant a lot.

[cia-drugs] Economic Brief: Alaska Pipeline Shutdown and the Rise of Oil Prices
09 August 2006As a result of the U.S. Federal Reserve's decision to leave current interest rates unchanged, PINR recommends the following recent in-depth analysis that finds "The Fed's new dovish place in the trunk could greatly accelerate inflation in the second half of 2006, prompting dollar depreciation and a sharp increase in U.S. bond yields." "Current U.S. Federal Reserve Policy Could Accelerate Inflation"http://www.pinr.com/report.php?ac=view_reportreport_id=536--Economic Brief: Alaska Pipeline Shutdown and the Rise of Oil Prices Drafted By: http://www.pinr.com The August 6 announcement by major oil company BP that it will need to shutdown 400,000 barrels a day of oil production in Alaska is the latest development pushing crude oil futures toward US$80 per barrel. BP's shutdown came after an oil spill was discovered in Alaska's North Slope in March. After finding the hole in the pipeline responsible for the leak, the company admitted that the crack was part of a larger pipeline corrosion problem that will force BP to replace 25 kilometers (16 miles) of a 35-kilometer (22-mile) pipeline that originates in Prudhoe Bay in Alaska. The production halt is expected to last 60-90 days. The Alaskan shutdown is the latest contributing factor to record high oil prices. The upward trend of oil prices largely began in late 2003. At the start of the new century, oil prices fluctuated between $20 and $30 a barrel. The September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States damaged the U.S. economy severely, thus sending oil prices below $20 a barrel as a result of reduced demand. In the following two years, however, the U.S. economy began to rebound, increasing energy demand and causing an upward trend in oil prices. Yet it was after the U.S.-led intervention in Iraq that oil prices began to escalate sharply. After it became clear to investors that the intervention in Iraq would be more complicated than originally predicted, uncertainty began to enter the energy market. This uncertainty was punctuated by an attack by Iraqi insurgents on an oil pipeline in northern Iraq in August 2003, a tactic that has been repeated regularly for three years now. In 2004, the price of oil moved higher, hovering near $50 a barrel as a number of factors contributed to market instability. In addition to the deteriorating security situation in Iraq and the regular attacks on pipelines there, workers in oil-rich Nigeria launched a general strike to protest the rising domestic fuel prices. By the end of 2005, oil prices hit $70 a barrel and stabilized between $60 and $70. The instability in Iraq, mounting ethnic unrest in Nigeria, concerns about Iran's nuclear program and growing energy demand in China were all to blame for the dramatic price increase. Contributing to the rise in oil prices was the surprise devastation caused by hurricane Katrina that devastated the eastern coast of the Gulf of Mexico, causing damage and supply disruptions to off-shore oil rigs and U.S. refining capacity. More than halfway through 2006, oil prices have almost surpassed $80 a barrel. A mixture of growing unrest in Iraq, Russian gas cuts to Europe, the threat of sanctions against Iran, an escalating ethnic insurgency in Nigeria's oil region, a low-scale war between Israel and Lebanon, an attack on Saudi Arabia's Abqaiq oil facilities and now the shutdown of a section of BP's pipeline in Alaska are to blame for the price hike. Nevertheless, the global economy has been able to withstand the sharp increase in oil prices. The world economy experienced positive growth in 2004 and 2005. However, inflation is on the rise, largely as a result of increased oil prices. With the current geopolitical outlook heavy with uncertainty, it can be expected that oil prices will maintain their current highs and probably continue to rise. The current conflict between Israel and Lebanon risks spilling over into the region; the insurgency in Iraq has grown more sectarian and chaotic; ethnic insurgent groups in Nigeria have threatened to shut down the country's oil exports; China's energy demand remains high; a new hurricane season is approaching the United States in the coming months; and al-Qaeda and other Islamist militant organizations continue to make threats against oil interests in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere. Any significant reduction in oil exports -- coming at a time when oil producers are pumping at near full capacity -- will send oil futures close to or past $100 a barrel, contributing significantly to inflationary pressures that could derail state economies and cause a widespread economic recession. __._,_.___ Complete archives at http://www.sitbot.net/ Please let us stay on topic and be civil.

[cia-drugs] Homeland Security Contracts for Vast New Detention Camps
http://news.pacificnews.org/news/view_article.html?article_id=eed74d9d44c30493706fe03f4c9b3a77# Homeland Security Contracts for Vast New Detention Camps News Analysis/Commentary, Peter Dale Scott,New America Media, Feb 08, 2006 Editor's Note: A little-known $385 million contract for Halliburton subsidiary KBR to build detention facilities for "an emergency influx of immigrants" is another step down the Bush administration's road toward martial law, the writer says.BERKELEY, Calif.--A Halliburton subsidiary has just received a $385 million contract from the Department of Homeland Security to provide "temporary detention and processing capabilities."The contract -- announced Jan. 24 by the engineering and construction firm KBR -- calls for preparing for "an emergency influx of immigrants, or to support the rapid development of new programs" in the event of other emergencies, such as "a natural disaster." The release offered no details about where Halliburton was to build these facilities, or when.To date, some newspapers have worried that open-ended provisions in the contract could lead to cost overruns, such as have occurred with KBR in Iraq. A Homeland Security spokesperson has responded that this is a "contingency contract" and that conceivably no centers might be built. But almost no paper so far has discussed the possibility that detention centers could be used to detain American citizens if the Bush administration were to declare martial law.For those who follow covert government operations abroad and at home, the contract evoked ominous memories of Oliver North's controversial Rex-84 "readiness exercise" in 1984. This called for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to round up and detain 400,000 imaginary "refugees," in the context of "uncontrolled population movements" over the Mexican border into the United States. North's activities raised civil liberties concerns in both Congress and the Justice Department. The concerns persist."Almost certainly this is preparation for a roundup after the next 9/11 for Mid-Easterners, Muslims and possibly dissenters," says Daniel Ellsberg, a former military analyst who in 1971 released the Pentagon Papers, the U.S. military's account of its activities in Vietnam. "They've already done this on a smaller scale, with the 'special registration' detentions of immigrant men from Muslim countries, and with Guantanamo."Plans for detention facilities or camps have a long history, going back to fears in the 1970s of a national uprising by black militants. As Alonzo Chardy reported in the Miami Herald on July 5, 1987, an executive order for continuity of government (COG) had been drafted in 1982 by FEMA head Louis Giuffrida. The order called for "suspension of the Constitution" and "declaration of martial law." The martial law portions of the plan were outlined in a memo by Giuffrida's deputy, John Brinkerhoff.In 1985, President Reagan signed National Security Decision Directive 188, one of a series of directives that authorized continued planning for COG by a private parallel government.Two books, James Mann's "Rise of the Vulcans" and James Bamford's "A Pretext for War," have revealed that in the 1980s this parallel structure, operating outside normal government channels, included the then-head of G. D. Searle and Co., Donald Rumsfeld, and then-Congressman from Wyoming Dick Cheney.After 9/11, new martial law plans began to surface similar to those of FEMA in the 1980s. In January 2002 the Pentagon submitted a proposal for deploying troops on American streets. One month later John Brinkerhoff, the author of the 1982 FEMA memo, published an article arguing for the legality of using U.S. troops for purposes of domestic security.Then in April 2002, Defense Dept. officials implemented a plan for domestic U.S. military operations by creating a new U.S. Northern Command (CINC-NORTHCOM) for the continental United States. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld called this "the most sweeping set of changes since the unified command system was set up in 1946."The NORTHCOM commander, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announced, is responsible for "homeland defense and also serves as head of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) He will command U.S. forces that operate within the United States in support of civil authorities. The command will provide civil support not only in response to attacks, but for natural disasters."John Brinkerhoff later commented on PBS that, "The United States itself is now for the first time since the War of 1812 a theater of war. That means that we should apply, in my view, the same kind of command structure in the United States that we apply in other theaters of war."Then in response to Hurricane Katrina in Sept. 2005, according to the Washington Post, White House senior adviser Karl Rove told the governor of Louisiana, Kathleen Babineaux Blanco, that she

On Sunday night they raided an alleged torture cell in Shia east Baghdad.But Iraqi and US officials warn that the death squad networks are extensive, enjoy the backing of some religious leaders and are hard to track.They operate with the support of the militias, which control large tracts of the city, and with the complicity of corrupt or terrified Iraqi police units.When Iraqi troops and US advisers attempted to storm the suspected hideout in the impoverished Shia district of Sadr City late on Sunday, they came under fire from radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr’s militia."Many police sympathise with the death squads, but mainly it’s that many live in Sadr City. If they they close their eyes, they’re well thought of, sometimes even paid," an Iraqi military intelligence officer told AFP."If they try to do their jobs, they put themselves in danger and their families are threatened," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity.Some of the death squads’ targets are political.Shia gangs target former members of ousted president Saddam Hussain’s hated Baath party or security services. Sunni extremists kill those who are seen as collaborators with US-led coalition forces or Iraq’s coalition.Other killings are more purely sectarian. The numbers of dead and tortured corpses turning up in the streets of Baghdad have spiralled since February 22 when suspected Sunni bombers destroyed a revered Shia mosque in Samarra.Many of the bodies are thrown in giant sewer that crosses Sadr’s territory in Sadr City. From there they float, many of them in a terrible state following beatings and torture, towards a treatment plant near a US base in Rustamiya.Lieutenant Colonel Mark Bertolini, who commands the US base Camp Rustamiya, said: "There was a significant increase after the Samarra shrine bombing." In April, Bertolini ordered some access channels to the sewer to be sealed off. "It doesn’t stop people from killing each other but at least it isn’t as easy to get rid of them and it doesn’t go completely unnoticed," he told AFP.Many of the bodies are found bound and blindfolded. Some are decapitated or have their throats cut, others burned or mutilated with power tools.Nevertheless, many of the gangs follow what they regard as a proper trial process before doing away with their victims."They target someone – and kill them if there is a difficulty in the kidnapping – but they usually bring the person to a safe place to be interrogated before the execution," the Iraqi intelligence officer said."A sheikh or imam comes and listens briefly to what the accused and accusers have to say and then gives his decision - usually death. It only lasts a few minutes. They kill the victim minutes later," he said.Many of the killings carried out by Shia gangs are seen by them as reprisals for attacks – such the Samarra bombing or suicide car bombs in crowded Baghdad markets – carried out by Sunni extremists.Mainstream Shia parties have won power since a US-led invasion in 2003 toppled Saddam’s Sunni-dominated regime, and foreign fighters inspired by the Al Qaeda Islamist network have stirred the resentment of Iraqi Sunnis.Observers fear, however, that the death squads’ reign of terror has now developed a self-sustaining logic of attack and response all of its own."People are angry because of the car bombs and suicide attacks on the markets. But you have to face the facts: Sadr city is controlled by the Mehdi Army and the Iraqi police are their accomplices," the Iraqi officer said.Checkpoints have been set up around Sadr City’s sprawling slum, but an American officer patrolling the area agreed with his Iraqi colleague, noting: "The Iraqi police are not doing their job".If Sunday night’s raid is any guide, the security forces are now more determined and able to take on the death squads. But until they succeed, Baghdadis will pull corpses out of their waterways every day. – AFP-__ ___ _ ___ __ ___ _ _ _ __ /-_|-0-\-V-/-\|-|-__|-|-|-/-_| \_-\--_/\-/|-\\-|-_||-V-V-\_-\
