Egads! Just got back from a dinner party with the local elite, and everyone was discussing an imminent US attack on Venezuela. As though it were fact. A done deal. Asking me (half yank) to explain what on earth is going on in the good old us of a. Much chatter about 'surgical' strikes. Oil. Our host's grandparents (german expats, one the son of a Reich consul in Argentina) were there, recalling the late 30's when they were teenagers. Abyssinian 'excursions', speeches at Nuremberg. Neville Chamberlain. Scary. And absurd, if true. Could Rove actually believe this will somehow help the administration's popularity? Or maybe approval ratings no longer matter. Not if the American public can no longer do anything about anything. Gotta get 'it' before China does? Chavez a loose cannon? Phone calls to friends in Caracas, lots of busy lines, hard to get through, people are heading out of town, or don't want to come back from their weekend trips. Generalized paranoia. Is this possible? Has anyone heard of anything? Gold just hit a 16 year high today, and not just in debased dollar terms...
tell me it ain't so! andres _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
