"Right now, the most dramatic expansion is unfolding in the Russian oil industry, in what my colleague Thane Gustafson calls "the miracle in the Russian oil fields." Over the past three years, Russian output has increased 25 percent. Today Russia is the world's second largest exporter, exceeded only by Saudi Arabia.
The 1990s collapse in output that resulted from the implosion of the Soviet Union has been reversed. There are many reasons: a reformed industry, largely privatized, working toward world standards, introducing new technology. But the heart of the matter was summed up a few weeks ago by Mikhail Khodorkovsky, CEO of the Russian oil major, Yukos: "We now apply an economic test to every stage of what we do." Mikhail Khodorkovsky just happens to be Jewish, BTW
This is where our invasion of Afghanistan comes in. Yukos now is limited to exporting it's oil by means of a pipeline to Murmansk. It would greatly increase profits if it could get a pipeline to The Arabian Sea.
Such a pipeline was proposed at a conference in Houston a few years back. Pakistan had agreed to the pipeline being constructed, and the Taliban was wined and dined in royal fashion to get their permission. They refused. The Taliban also banned the propagation of poppies for the heroin trade, by the way. BAAAD Taliban.
The so-called "Neo-cons"* who pull Bush's strings decided it was time to act, convinced Bush to use 9-11 as the excuse to invade Afghanistan and get cracking on this pipeline. After the conquest, they installed Hamid Karzai as puppet governor. Karzai was at the Houston meeting representing Unocal Oil. He was an advocate of the pipeline, which was to enrich Haliburton, of course.

A Jew Behind It All by Storyteller . Wednesday March 12, 2003 at 01:27 PM
Even in the Prestige oil-spill story, behind it all, you find a Jew ready to make a quick buck while disregarding others...
Crown Resources is in turn owned by a fascinating Russian conglomerate called the Alfa Group Consortium. The consortium describes itself as "one of Russia's largest privately owned financial-industrial conglomerates, with interests in oil, commodities trading, commercial and investment banking, insurance, retail trade, food processing, and telecommunications". The Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Alfa Group is Mikhail Fridman. Fridman founded the Alfa Group Consortium, a holding company which today controls the Alfa Bank, Alfa Capital, Tyumen Oil, several construction material firms, food processing businesses and a supermarket chain. Other Alfa activities include ownership of 40% of all Mongolian meat exports (these exports are intended to help the country pay its large debt to Russia), and a venture to launch communications satellites in Iraq, Iran and Syria.
Mr Fridman's close business associates include Leonard Vid, formerly First Deputy Head of the Soviet planning commission Gosplan. The Alfa Group says that "although we continue to be exposed to the oil markets, it is an exposure with which we are comfortable because of our perception of a continuing favourable reward to risk ratio". [Source: the Alfa Group website [url=http://www.alfagroup.org]http://www.alfagroup.org[/url].]
Mr Fridman is a super-rich fellow, estimated by Fortune Magazine to be the ninth richest man in the world aged under 40, with a net worth of more than $2 billion. [Source: [url=http://www.fortune.com/]http://www.fortune.com/[/url] lists/40under40/global40.] He is one of the "new oligarchs" of Russian capitalism, who made their fortunes on the privatisation of former Soviet state assets.

Russias Robber Barons by Russias Robber Barons . Wednesday March 12, 2003 at 01:51 PM
MSNBC posted on the Internet a list of what it called "Russia's Robber Barons: the Twelve Men Who Own Russia's Economy," along with brief biographical sketches of each of these newly made billionaires.
It is interesting to note that none of these billionaires had as much as $10,000 to his name ten years ago.
They all became enormously wealthy during the so-called "privatization" of the Russian economy after the collapse of communism at the beginning of this decade.
Of these 12 robber barons listed by MSNBC eight are Jews.
Eight out of twelve.
That is indeed remarkable in a country with only about one-half of one per cent Jews in its population.
Not only that, but the Jews are constantly whining in their media about how they're being "persecuted" in Russia. They own the country, and they whine to us about Russian "anti-Semitism."
Of course, MSNBC won't tell you about the Jewishness of any of these robber barons.
MSNBC calls them all "Russians."
But in fact, Boris Berezovsky, Vladimir Gusinsky, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Vitali Malkin, Mikhail Fridman, Alexander Smolensky, Vladimir Vinogradov, and Anatoly Chubais are Jews, self-acknowledged Jews, bragged about as Jews in the Jewish community publications that we aren't supposed to see.
Although Anatoly Chubais considers himself a Jew, he's actually only half-Jewish.
Before MSNBC's list of twelve "robber barons" was posted, the Russians had their own list: the Seven Oligarchs they call them, all of them new billionaires who have backed Boris Yeltsin with money and media support.
The seven are the aforenamed Boris Berezovsky, Vladimir Gusinsky, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Mikhail Fridman, Alexander Smolensky, and Pyotr Aven, who is also a Jew, and the Russian Vladimir Potanin.
That's six Jewish oligarchs and one Russian.
Let me tell you how this bizarre and very dangerous situation came about.
When the Bolsheviks overthrew the Russian government in 1917, murdered the Czar and his family, and formed the Soviet Union, there was an extraordinarily high quota of Jews among the communist revolutionaries who formed the Soviet government. Lenin, who was himself only a quarter Russian, had surrounded himself with Jews from the beginning.
Lenin's chief financier during the revolutionary period was the Jew Israel Lazarevich Helphand, who used the pseudonym "Parvus."
Lenin's right-hand man was the Jew Grigory Apfelbaum, who used the name "Zinoviev."
After the revolution the Jew Lev Bronstein, who used the name "Trotsky," became .......................... Does anyone suspect some sort of a, er, "conspiracy" here?

It never fails that when the U.S. embarks on its latest adventure, at some point we will be told that the 'real' reason for the effort is that sombody wants to build a pipeline through the territory. To me this has never made sense. I used to write patent applications for a pipeline company, and I know that pipelines rupture constantly, even when people are NOT trying to blow them up. Certainly MY pipeline route of choice would be across Chechnya, or Kosovo, or Afghanistan, where every valley is ruled by a different, constantly changing faction, and where everyone has lots of explosives, and lots of time to kill. I think the Pipeline Theory of Foreign Policy deserves the one-finger salute.
