It is starting to look like a lot of this is happening because the motives and reasons that were given at first were not exactly what they seemed to be. This whole thing has been presented as a crusade against terrorists, with one Osama bin Laden being Public Enemy Number One of this scene. Bush has gone on and on about how bin Laden is a murderer, a killer, a terrorist, etc. He has nothing good to say about the man. However, it seems that this was not the case before September 11th. It seems that the Bush family and the bin Laden family have had contacts before, through business channels. As I have previously stated, bin Laden was born into vast wealth because his old man was a construction magnate in the Middle East that built a lot of the infrastructure that Mr. Businessman needed to profit off of the oil business. The bin ladens made a lot of bread off of this, enough to have a family of 50 kids. They also made a world of business connections, especially in America. One of these connections was the Bush family, the same one that has produced two of the last three Presidents. The current Chief Executive got his start in the oil business, don't forget. Through this business, he has contacts with the bin Laden family, although not Osama himself. This was long before George W. ever got into politics. Obviously, there4 are real terrorist connections to the bin Laden family. These did not start on September 11th, but were in place for a long time before that. There were also members of that same family in the United States for various reasons almost continually. Some were here to get an education, but many were here for business reasons only. After all, they had a lot of connections to a lot of big businesses in America, and they used them as any businessmen would. The last Presidential administration started to frown on this, as the antics of Osama started to pile up on the worldwide stage, what with his masterminding embassy bombings and all that. The Clinton administration started to probe the entire bin Laden family to see just what they knew about what their brother was doing. They had the FBI and all that shit poking around to see what they could get on the family. Unfortunately, this was started late in the Clinton administration and could not be completed by the time that its term ended. So when G.W. Bush came in, his people took that investigation over, and promptly killed it. The new administration did not want anyone poking around at the bin Ladens now. Sure, one of them was a bad guy, but he had dozens of brothers that are good businessmen that helped the President make a lot of money in his early days, more than he is going to make as President. That was the new way of thinking with the new administration. Then the events of September 11th happened, and everything changed. In fact, on September 11th itself, there were two members of the bin Laden family here in America, one was attending school, and the other was getting ready to go to Capitol Hill and lobby the Congressmen about some shit or another that was good for their business interests. When the attacks happened, the federal government sent some of its people to go and get these dudes and give them a place to stay until the airports opened again and they could leave the country. It looks like one of the Bush family's old business partners went and turned heel on them, as they say in the professional wrestling business. So now the entire bin Laden family has been referred to as heels ever since. Looks like a change in motivations towards them to me.
If you look at the things that Bush has been saying, they don't sound al that new. He is telling everyone that America has embarked on a crusade to rid the world of evil so that all can prosper and all that shit. This sounds amazingly like the things that were said in America's imperial days when they went and conquered first their own land, and then the lands of others, in the name of Mr. Businessman and his capitalist way of life and that would make things grand for all. This mentality was used to push into countries south of the border in Central and South America and set up spheres of influence so that the businesses could move in and start to profit from either the people or the natural resources or both. The digging of the Panama Canal is the most famous example of this. America poured lots of its money and its manpower to Panama in order to dig that canal through the forbidding Panamanian jungle. Many workers died in the effort. That alone was used to justify America basically making Panama a colony of America by making the dollar the currency of the country and all that. This was done to ensure American control over the canal, because many of the ships and the goods that they carried were either on their way to or from America, and Mr. Businessman's profit was at stake here. When an unfriendly leader took over in Panama and threatened to disrupt this profit, America took action and had him arrested on bullshit charges so that a friendlier dude could take over. This sort if scene has been played out by America in many of the countries of the world. America had always justified it in the past by making it into some sort of greater calling type thing that needed to be done for the good of all, when the only ones that really got any good from it were the corporations. Anyone that stood in the way of this had to be eliminated if they insisted on doing so. Now, Bush has just changed the names and a bit of the language of this old American standard. Now, America must go and make its presence felt all over the world in the name of justice by stamping out "terrorism" Anyone that stands in the way of this has to be crushed just like those that stood in the way of the other American crusades before. America is once again sending its people into foreign lands to disrupt things and make major changes happen in the governments of these countries so that things fit the American agenda.
But what exactly is that agenda? Ever since we have been in this state of war, the American government has talked out of both sides of its mouth and its ass at the same time. Is it a mission to go and get one dude and try him and bring him to justice? They say yes, then they say no. Is it a mission to overthrow a government and install one of our own? First they say no, then they say maybe. Will it be a long or a short thing? First they say long, then they say short, then they say they don't know which. It seems kind of confused. It is certain that there are forces that are in Afghanistan that are trying to overthrow the Taliban fuckers and create a new government there. The Northern Alliance as they are known. The Pentagon seems to think that these dudes are cool and that they need America's help in achieving their goals. They speak of "coalition governments" featuring these Northern Alliance dudes and "moderate Taliban" dudes and all this shit. This is the same kind of talk that you heard when things were being done for business interests. Why would you talk like this if yo are trying to truly rid the world of a evil scourge? Perhaps because Mr. Businessman has his fingers in things again? He surely does. Mr. Businessman has his greedy eyes on the Caspian Sea. Specifically, what lies beneath it. There lies the biggest reserve of oil and natural gas that man has ever found anywhere on Earth. Enough of the shit to supply America's energy needs for 30 years or so, and make Mr. Businessman huge mega-profits for the same period of time. He wants to get at that shit real bad. If he does, he will need a pipeline like the one in Alaska to get the shit to a transport point. Simple enough? Not when you factor in that this pipeline would have to go through foreign lands in order for Mr. American Businessman to make his dough off of it. With the Alaska Pipeline, that only goes through Alaska and Canada, so there's no problem there. This on e would be mush trickier. Canada lets the USA control the Alaska pipeline without any problem. Other countries would not be so kind about that. The problem with this Caspian sea thing is getting the pipeline through ones that would be wiling to be like canada about it. With the mountains in that part of the world and all that, there are not a lot of options. Russia is one, but they would certainly insist in control of things. Iran is another, but they would surely do the same. A third option for this is Afghanistan. You put the pipeline through there and America can control it, that is, if those pesky Taliban fuckers and Osama bin Laden are taken out of the picture. dOne of the reasons that they are in it in the first place is that Mr. Businessman wanted to work this deal out with them, but they were too religiously fanatical to go along with it. So if they are overthrown and these "coalition" folks take over, under the auspices of the USA of course, then there's a friendly regime in place that would not object to this pipeline being built and Mr. American Businessman being able to run it as he saw fit.
The current administration is very friendly towards big business, we all know that. This sounds very much like a scene that they would help along if they could. It is much more feasible that the idea od wiping out terrorism. It is also much more profitable to many more businesses than even a war would be, that is how much is at stake here. It is starting to seem that the motivations behind everything that is going on right now are the same ones that America had when they started to expand their influence overseas originally, except this time, there are vivid images to show the people at home in order to convince them of anything and everything, so that opposition voices are not heard as much. In another sick and twisted tangent of this whole thing, it could end up that what bin Laden did on September 11th could end up doing a lot of people in America a lot of good, specifically Mr. Businessman, who would indeed consider it fitting since he was one if the main ones attacked that day.
