OCTOBER 7th 2001 was the real TERRORISM -- NOT 911, WTC EXPLOSIONS but start of U.S. WAR ON AFGHANISTANThe asbestos in the streets of Manhattan isn't even dry, and Bush/Bush/ Cheney have started a TEN YEAR BANKRUPTCY AIMED GENOCIDAL war on AFGHANISTAN. A war by the way designed to enrich the POLS' oligarchs backers/ chums Campaign donors.. with mined mineral riches beyond belief and a lucrative oil pipeline!) That Afghan war, which has cost AMERICA BILLIONS of DOLLARS so far continues, and began a mere four weeks after the WTC/ 911. Oct 7th, 2001 is the ANNIVERSARY of the real reason Bankers/ Transnationals and the Oval Office invaded a third world, Neanderthal Muslim sandpit. You can throw all the stupidity of the revenge-craving American public on top of the cupidity of these billionaires and the sum adds up. The American public was played like a LUTE by propagandaists. We were hoodwinked. These rich guys and Bush/Bush Cheney they rode in on were willing to conduct l0 years of reprehensible murder for money and appear to still be bent on it.
Afghanistan, every rare metal and mineral that exists
Gems, gold, 'the works!'WE HAVE TO TAKE OVER, KIDDIES!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_Afghanistan_(2001%E2%80%93present)
Just count the amount of dead from Afghan Wars, listed above.Bush/Cheney Bush Senior went in as they knew the rarest minerals in the world were in this country. Lithium, copper, gold and a whole long list more:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mining_in_AfghanistanSo, Minerals first but they really went in to build their oil PIPELINE. Since fall of RUSSIA we could now get all that OIL (the world's biggest field ) in FORMER Russian Satellites. Georgia, Caspian beaches. That Oil had to travel down to a warm water port open to the major oceans, see:
( http://www.masterjules.net/pipeline.htm for maps )OIL-O-GARCHS WANTED THE RIGHT to own the place. Their propaganda got Americans to agree with them after 19 Arab terrorists demolished the WTC. (It was all asbestos anyway, had to go.) But The two Bushes and Cheney let it happen ergo it became a false flag operation. The American people applauded going in after TALIBAN and Bush/Cheney told us the HEAD TERRORIST is hiding out in the Afghani mts. Right where the minerals were. Iraq wasn't until March 2003, a year and a half later.
Did we get any oil or minerals out of the place? NO! After ten years of murder, we besmirched America's name so badly (killing women and children tends to make an invader unpopular --) that CHINA was the only one well liked enough (and rich enough with trillions of our war dollars owed them,) to buy the mining rights, the licenses. First time we saw the Chinese plunk down thirty million dollars worth of YUAN to 'rent' a mine (30 mil) we screamed 'bribe' bribe' and the minister who sold them the rights got canned.
European Oligarchs do not want CHINA in there as they already are the wealthiest most successful country, this coup would set them so far above the 'rest' of the world it would be dangerous. Maoists above OLIGARCHS?
We dig it out, you pay top dollar, boss
Thass how it works.The Chinese would control all the RARE MINERALS which are found here ergo industry, trade. This brings us a LOT of Blowback. Someone AMERICAN AND IN CHARGE shot US ALL in the foot. From the timing, we deduce that the grabby, WAR HUNGRY Bush/ Cheney group did it as they work for Corporate Demons of the 'first water.'
A decade later, JUNE 2011, when the war in AFGHANISTAN is failing, The new White House figures her citizenry will need not a revenge angle but a 'venal angle ..i.e mineral riches, to continue justifying a genocidal invasion. Oval Office announces copper and lithium are in those mts.
The United States has discovered nearly $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan, far beyond any previously known reserves and enough to fundamentally alter the Afghan economy and perhaps the Afghan war itself, according to senior American government officials. At War.. etc. all newspapers announce the 'mineral angle' middle JUNE 2010 as they face their own populace complaining about the war.
The previously unknown deposits — including huge veins of iron, copper, cobalt, gold and critical industrial metals like lithium — are so big and include so many minerals that are essential to modern industry that Afghanistan could eventually be transformed into one of the most important mining centers in the world, the United States officials believe.
ELECTRIC CAR BATTERIES CURRENTLY NEED A HUGE DOSE of RARE MINERALS:
BEAUTIFUL GRAPHIC AND MORE ON THIS:
Google search term like Afghanistan's gold. Lithium too.
An internal Pentagon memo, for example, states that Afghanistan could become the “Saudi Arabia of lithium,” a key raw material in the manufacture of batteries for laptops and BlackBerrys.
The vast scale of Afghanistan’s mineral wealth was discovered by a small team of Pentagon officials and American geologists. The Afghan government and President Hamid Karzai were recently briefed, American officials said.
While it could take many years to develop a mining industry, the potential is so great that officials and executives in the industry believe it could attract heavy investment even before mines are profitable, providing the possibility of jobs that could distract from generations of war.
“There is stunning potential here,” Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander of the United States Central Command, said in an interview on Saturday. “There are a lot of ifs, of course, but I think potentially it is hugely significant.”
The value of the newly discovered mineral deposits dwarfs the size of Afghanistan’s existing war-bedraggled economy, which is based largely on opium production and narcotics trafficking as well as aid from the United States and other industrialized countries. Afghanistan’s gross domestic product is only about $12 billion.
“This will become the backbone of the Afghan economy,” said Jalil Jumriany, an adviser to the Afghan minister of mines.
American and Afghan officials agreed to discuss the mineral discoveries at a difficult moment in the war in Afghanistan. The American-led offensive in Marja in southern Afghanistan has achieved only limited gains. Meanwhile, charges of corruption and favoritism continue to plague the Karzai government, and Mr. Karzai seems increasingly embittered toward the White House.
So the Obama administration is hungry for some positive news to come out of Afghanistan. Yet the American officials also recognize that the mineral discoveries will almost certainly have a double-edged impact.
Instead of bringing peace, the newfound mineral wealth could lead the Taliban to battle even more fiercely to regain control of the country.
The corruption that is already rampant in the Karzai government could also be amplified by the new wealth, particularly if a handful of well-connected oligarchs, some with personal ties to the president, gain control of the resources. Just last year, Afghanistan’s minister of mines was accused by American officials of accepting a $30 million bribe to award China the rights to develop its copper mine. The minister has since been replaced.
Endless fights could erupt between the central government in Kabul and provincial and tribal leaders in mineral-rich districts. Afghanistan has a national mining law, written with the help of advisers from the World Bank, but it has never faced a serious challenge.
“No one has tested that law; no one knows how it will stand up in a fight between the central government and the provinces,” observed Paul A. Brinkley, deputy undersecretary of defense for business and leader of the Pentagon team that discovered the deposits.
At the same time, American officials fear resource-hungry China will try to dominate the development of Afghanistan’s mineral wealth, which could upset the United States, given its heavy investment in the region. After winning the bid for its Aynak copper mine in Logar Province, China clearly wants more, American officials said.
Another complication is that because Afghanistan has never had much heavy industry before, it has little or no history of environmental protection either. “The big question is, can this be developed in a responsible way, in a way that is environmentally and socially responsible?” Mr. Brinkley said. “No one knows how this will work.”
With virtually no mining industry or infrastructure in place today, it will take decades for Afghanistan to exploit its mineral wealth fully. “This is a country that has no mining culture,” said Jack Medlin, a geologist in the United States Geological Survey’s international affairs program. “They’ve had some small artisanal mines, but now there could be some very, very large mines that will require more than just a gold pan.”
The mineral deposits are scattered throughout the country, including in the southern and eastern regions along the border with Pakistan that have had some of the most intense combat in the American-led war against the Taliban insurgency.
Since now we're out of money and announces THE BIGGEST MINERAL
DEPOSITS are there! We have to go get themPENTAGON INSIDERS do a limited hangout-quibble saying these claims could
be exaggerated but that's a bogus carp, a bogus disagreement. They are
really reiterating the fact that there's :GOLD IN THEM THAR HILLS!
