Energy War over Syria │ The Geopolitics of Oil and Gas Pipelines

Major Planned Pipelines - Enlarge
The war on Syria is only unclear at first sight. On closer inspection, it becomes clear that fighting between mercenaries and government forces takes place only where important pipelines are running or planned. 

Russia, the Western powers and the Gulf States are fighting for the best starting position for gas and oil supplies for the European market. France, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia and the United States, in particular, are interfering in the distribution struggle without any reference to international law, while Russia's support to the legal Syrian government is fully in line with international law.  

Two of the most important oil markets are located in the Syrian cities of Manbij and al-Bab, both of which are located in the Aleppo province. These two cities are also the most important pipeline, the oil from Iraq - from Mosul and al-Qaim - transported to Syria as far as the province of Idlib

Territorial Control - Enlarge
The same Pipeline runs through the city of Aleppo to the oil market in Idlib. Whoever controls Manbid, has a great influence on the oil transport in Syria. The same applies to Aleppo, Idlib and al-Bab in the west of the country. In the east of the country the same oil transport line runs through Raqqa and Deir Ezzor. The oil that flows through this transport line comes from Mosul, via Sinjar to Deir Ezzor and a second strand from al-Qaim to Deir Ezzor. So far, Turkey has had no influence on the oil transport lines in the Syrian conflict. Through the capture of Manbidz, Turkey could assert its influence on the transport system in Syria. The current battle for Aleppo is called only from a basic decision-making battle: Aleppo is the last big city through which flows the country's most important transport line. Anyone who controls Aleppo controls the "key" of the pipeline. It is striking that the conflicts between the conflict parties take place, in particular, on the most important points of the transport lines: Raqqa, Deir Ezzor, Aleppo, Idlib, Manbidsch, Hasaka, al-Bukamal, Ain Issa and al-Bab. In Homs and Hama also violent battles take place. Previously, Palmyra was fiercely fought. These, in turn, are the areas through which the Qatar-Turkey pipeline is planned. The Iran-Iraq-Syria pipeline supported and planned by the Russians should also be run by Homs. That is why Homs from the Russian point of view cannot be controlled by the Islamic mercenaries. 

The fog of war and the realm of uncertainty:
Russian
and US Airstrikes -

From the map of the air strikes, it is clear that the US airspace mainly focuses on the East and the Russian air strikes, especially on the west of Syria. While the control of West Syria is important to the Russians to prevent pro-Western pipelines, it is important from the US point of view that the prospect of pro-Russian pipelines - like the Iran-Iraq-Syria pipeline - to prevent.

Another planned pipeline was originally to go from the Israeli Golan Heights via Damascus to Turkey. This pipeline would allow Israel to emerge as a gas supplier, provided the government is overthrown in Damascus. But Russia does not want any competitors in the gas market.

In connection with the pipeline routes, the planned "Kurdish corridor" is also critical. The Caucasus Strategic Research Center (KAFKASSAM) in Ankara reports: "The real objective of this corridor is to transport the Kurdish oil and gas from the Northern Iraq over Northern Syria to the Mediterranean by pipeline there. In addition, the US had planned to build another pipeline from the Persian Gulf to the Northern Iraq and from there via Northern Syria. Thus, both Iraq and Turkey should be brought to the West and especially to Europe on the energy market through both Turkey and Northern Syria. But the plan to found a Kurdish corridor fell into the water because the Russians intervened in Syria. Russia is opposed to this corridor because Europe is to be maintained as a customer of Russian energy carriers. Russia will under no circumstances give up its position on the European market."

The US Weapon of Mass Migration and the Coerced Suicide of Europe

Artificial mass migration as an imperial policy has a long history, and the current mass migration into Europe is the brainchild of US military grand strategist Thomas P.M. Barnett. He was a strategic advisor to former US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and currently works with the Israeli military consultancy firm Wikistrat—a close collaborator of the US Africa Command (AFRICOM) in Stuttgart, Germany.

 
Barnett’s books, "The Pentagon’s New Map" (2004) and "Blueprint for Action" (2005), have significantly influenced US and Israeli global military geostrategies, and Wikistrat is heavily involved in the development and application of "crowdsourcing" and "crowd-leveraging" technologies. Notably, most of the Twitter entries encouraging migrants in the Middle East and Africa to travel to Austria, Germany, and Sweden originate from the UK, US, and Australia (via organizations such as the Ayn Rand Institute and The Escape Institute). Barnett developed the theory of the "Five Flows of Globalization," which he argues must occur for US imperialism to prevail in the 21st century. These involve the free flow of money, security, food, energy, and people. The "Five Flows" theory necessitates breaking down nation-state structures to free up resources for exploitation by US multinational corporations and the "hyenas of high finance." 
 
The inundation of Europe with migrants is a key feature of Barnett’s geostrategic thinking, and he allegedly expressed: "1.5 million immigrants from third world countries to Europe every year. The result will be a mixed new population with an average IQ of 90—too dumb to grasp anything, but intelligent enough to work."


In her book "Weapons of Mass Migration: Forced Displacement, Coercion, and Foreign Policy" (2011), Kelly M. Greenhill argues that one reason for Europe’s rapprochement with Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi was the latter’s offer to stem the tide of African emigration to Europe. It would be erroneous, therefore, to suggest that the chaos wrought by the Arab Spring, the devastation of Libya, and the killing of Gaddafi were unintentional. EU borders have long been deconstructed by the utopianism of a borderless world. This fits perfectly with Greenhill’s "hypocrisy cost" of wealthy liberal nations, which can be coerced by specifically such open-border vulnerabilities.

Hundreds of thousands of migrants are equipped with "welcome booklets" published by a George Soros foundation. Written in Arabic and packed with maps and useful information on where to go, what to do, whom to contact, and which sob stories to tell European authorities, these guides are distributed by an NGO called w2eu.info ("Welcome to the EU"). This is reminiscent of the non-violent revolution handbook by Gene Sharp, which was used to train activists in the US-Israeli fomented counter-revolutions in North Africa in 2011. Since the inception of the ensuing "refugee crisis," the multi-billion dollar business of human trafficking into Europe and the booming asylum industry has been controlled by the EU Commission, globalist "fifth columns" inside EU member states, the Erdoğan regime, ISIS, the Italian Mafia, certain oligarchs, and the CIA.



In 2015, the Merkel regime certainly had foreknowledge of the consequences when the Chancellor repeatedly issued her "welcome" calls—not only to Syrian war refugees and their families but to any "asylum-seeker" in the world. Merkel had been warned personally by her domestic intelligence services and the Joint Centre for Illegal Migration Analysis and Policy that Europe's borders would be stormed and that Germany and its neighbors would be seriously and permanently damaged and destabilized.

However, Merkel is clearly cooperating with a script originating from Western intelligence agencies that follows Greenhill’s recipes. In May 2016, facing a new wave of migrants from Libya into Italy, Merkel steadfastly refused to close the borders. By mid-2016, 1.8 million "refugees" had entered Germany. More than 1.5 million of these are young men aged 20 to 35, already outnumbering the German army by a factor of 20. While thousands of them are ISIS and Al-Nusra fighters, many are actually housed on active military bases. The total cost to support 2 million 'refugees' over the next three years was estimated at 900 billion euros—more than twice the federal government's annual budget for 2014. To quote Shakespeare: “Though this be madness, yet there is method in't.”


Stasi "IM Erika," aka Angela Merkel, reporting on services rendered.
 
What we are dealing with here is a well-planned strategy of chaos. Washington is the driving force of this strategy, which destroys entire states and nations, causing a chaotic chain reaction of division and conflict to be used according to the old method of "divide and rule." We are witnessing a covert war being waged by the Anglo-Zionist power elite against the nation-states and peoples of Europe. Migrants are weaponized to create social chaos and fiscal constraints to prevent Berlin’s inevitable rapprochement with Moscow.

The migrants cannot possibly integrate into society if the German economy does not integrate into Eurasia; otherwise, Germany will have insufficient access to resources and energy, and no viable markets for its exports. US strategists intend to "let Europe wither on the vine." Keeping Russia and Germany separate and in conflict has been the primordial geopolitical objective of the US in Europe since 1871.


Barnett predicts that both Western Europe and Russia will disintegrate in the 21st century, leaving only India and China to rival the United States. US strategists believe that coercive, engineered mass migration into Europe—coupled with the American occupation of Eastern Europe and the Balkans, terrorism, the destabilization of Ukraine, currency wars, trade wars, and hot wars—will prevent Eurasian integration. This secures control over Europe and the conquest of Africa, ultimately safeguarding future US global supremacy.

This plan is underway. However, it will not solve the US's major problems: its losing position in world production, finance, trade, transport, and communication. The global center is drifting toward China and other Asian countries. US financial hegemony is endangered by the collapse of the "dollar pyramid" of state obligations, and the dollar's position as the world currency is undermined by regional economic integration, namely by China and Russia.

Because the US financial and economic system cannot be maintained without growing external support, it feels forced to escalate military and political tensions, eventually leading toward a world war it cannot win. Von Clausewitz would have immediately realized this, but Barnett is a brute, a gambler, a globalist, a Zionist mercenary strategist.


On a larger timescale, we are living through a repetition of the 100-year war cycle and the conclusion of Arnold Toynbee's 500-year cycle of civilizations. We are in a period Antonio Gramsci termed an "interregnum"—morbid times of chaos in which the old is dying and the new is not yet born. The first decades of this millennium mirror the early 16th century in Europe: a time of technological innovation, population growth, migration, and capitalist expansion, but also religious secession, fanaticism, and war.

Today, the fate of the US empire depends largely on whether Russia can be sufficiently destabilized and subjected to the globalist oligarchy. Russia is the globe's "Heartland" and possesses all the necessary elements to become the cornerstone of the next world system. Whether the emerging multipolar system of civilizations can defend itself is currently being decided in, by, and through Russia.

The architects of this mass migration have unleashed a monster. Ethnic groups across Europe—French, Italian, German, Anglo-Saxon, Irish, Swedish, and Polish—face demographic extinction. The utopia of multiculturalism has failed and is being rejected; instead, Europe is headed for ethnic clashes and the breakdown of economic, social, and political regimes.


However, the globalist "Great Replacement" project itself may never reach its ultimate conclusion. It is naturally unacceptable to passively surrender and be replaced by invaders. Consequently, Pan-European nationalism is rising. Radicals are prepared to defend their lands and cultures at all costs, ready to topple regimes and engage in civil conflict. What remains uncertain is how to recover and what should be built in the aftermath. Once US hegemony diminishes, the remnants of a shattered Europe may finally be absorbed into a Sino-Russian dominated Eurasian empire.

NATO Opens Another Front Against Russia in Crimea

SouthFront.org (Nov 26, 2015) - [NATO, Turkey and Ukraine] have made a strike at another front. As result of a terrorism act near the border with Russia, the four main transmission lines between Ukraine and Crimea were blown up. About 1,7 million people in Crimea are cut from the power supplies. Some experts believe that the terrorism act was conducted by Turkish intelligence services in concurrence with the US. Formally, the terrorism act was made by Crimea Tatar extremists and the “Right Sector” terrorist group. The Crimea’s blackout could be described as a clear war provocation against Russia. At the moment, we could observe an escalation in a diplomatic sphere and military build up of the all sides involved in the Syrian crisis. If the US and its allies continue their provocative and shallow policy, there is a serious threat of an open military escalation in the region (see also HERE).

NATO's Loose Cannon Erdoğan Attacks Russia

Turkish F-16s Shoot Down Russian Sukhoi Su-24 Warplane (HERE)
The Russian jet crashed in the mountainous Jabal Turkmen area of
Latakia, where air strikes and fighting between rebel terrorists and
Syrian government forces were reported earlier on Tuesday. The Kremlin
recommended not jumping to conclusions. NATO is to hold an urgent meeting
to discuss the downing.
The ES futures dipped 1%.
European, Turkish and Russian markets plunged after confirmation that Turkey had shot down a Russian jet near its border with Syria and Moscow warning Ankara of "serious consequences".
 

Turkey’s Borsa Istanbul 100 was down almost four percent after Russian President Vladimir Putin called Ankara's action a “stab in the back made by accomplices of the terrorists.” He also warned Turkey of “very serious consequences” for relations.

The Russian stock market also fell on the news from Syria. As of 6:00pm MSK, the ruble-traded MICEX index was down 3.30 percent, while the dollar-denominated RTS index fell 3.56 percent. On Monday, the MICEX skyrocketed to 1,865 points, its highest level in seven years.


The crisis also affected European stock markets. London's FTSE was down 1.19 percent as of 3:00pm GMT. The markets in France and Germany were losing 1.90 and 1.42 percent, respectively.


The Turkish lira is the worst performer among the currencies. As of 3:00pm GMT the lira was down 0.87 percent against the US dollar.


The downing of a Russian jet fighter over Syria’s airspace was undertaken by Turkey in consultation with Washington and Brussels. Turkey did not take this decision without getting the greenlight from the Pentagon. Is this an act of revenge against Russia for bombing the US-sponsored Islamic State in Syria? The unspoken truth is that Russia is undermining US-NATO’s ground operations inside Syria. The latter are made up of various Al Qaeda affiliated formations which de facto constitute the foot-soldiers of the Western alliance. These ISIS and Al Nusrah rebel forces are in turn led by intelligence operatives and Western special forces, many of whom are deployed by private mercenary companies on contract to US-NATO (see also HERE + HERE).

United States Just Lost Superiority In Conventional Warfare

The biggest event that took place in Syria as part of Operation Hmeymim was the use by
the Russian Navy’s Caspian Flotilla of 26 seaborne land-attack cruise missiles (LACMs)
that hit 11 Daesh and Jabhat al-Nusra military targets inside Syria, which were located
about 1,500 km. away from the missile launch site (HERE)
Thierry Meyssan (Oct 19, 2015) - Moscow’s military intervention in Syria has not simply overturned the fortunes of war and spread panic throughout the ranks of the jihadist groups. It has also shown the rest of the world the current capacities of the Russian army in situations of real warfare. To everyone’s astonishment, it has proved to possess a system of signal jamming capable of rendering the Atlantic Alliance deaf and blind (A2/AD = anti-access/area denial). Despite a far superior budget, the United States have just lost their military domination.

Vladimir Kozin (Oct 13, 2015) - The firing of cruise missiles by the Russian Navy, from the Caspian Sea, was not necessary for its military operation in Syria. However, this convincing show of force, demonstrates Russia’s technical superiority over NATO in this domain. Therefore, the so-called anti-missile shield, currently deployed by the Atlantic Alliance around Russia, is now obsolete.

The Revolution Cycle | Uranus-Pluto Squares 1500 - 2104

 
 
The Uranus Pluto cycle lasts about 127 years on average but it ranges between 113 to 141 years due to Pluto’s eccentric orbit. The current cycle began in 1965. The Uranus Pluto cycle represents revolutionary and radical cultural change and technological innovation that transforms society. Uranus represents the archetype of revolution and freedom and is associated with unexpected breakdowns and breakthroughs and innovative ideas. Pluto represents the archetype of transformation and evolution and is associated with the collective shadow, mass movements, and the drive for power. These are revolutionary periods when everything gets shaken up and the status quo is overthrown.
