While examining our next potential military invasion in the Middle East, one must be diligent in avoiding a form of myopia where the only countries we focus our attention on are the U.S. and Iran. As many already know, not only is Israel a major player on the scene, but so are China and Russia. More importantly, during the past year, these two countries have engaged in a slew of economic, military, trade, and technological deals with each other. They have also become significant business partners with Iran, and are in the process of increasing the number of euros they’re holding.

Due to having fewer natural resources than Russia, especially in regard to oil and gas reserves, China has been very aggressive in acquiring their much needed energy requirements. This intense quest for fuel was even more pronounced after the CPA (Coalition Provisional Authority) nullified all of Iraq’s euro-based oil contracts, including those with China. To compensate, China has very decidedly brokered import deals with at least 15 countries, including a $70-100 billion contract with Iran.

China was put in this position because, from their perspective, they didn’t want to suffer the same fate as they had in Iraq where their oil contracts were shredded. This worry explains their October 28, 2004 oil and gas trade agreement with Iran, which is reported to account for approximately 13% of their total oil imports.

Clearly, China has a vested interest in whether the USA invades Iran. To cover themselves even more, China has been securing fuel contracts with Brazil, Venezuela, and Canada. Thus, if the world ever engages in a full-blown energy war, China is now in a position to put the screws to us, especially since they control the Panama Canal via Hutchison Whampoa, as well as other major shipping facilities.

To further insulate themselves from the U.S., China unpegged their currency from the dollar in 2005; while at the same time divesting their currency reserves toward the euro. China, by all sources, is actually developing a basket of global currencies, while Russia is also increasing their central bank holdings of euros.

There are also those who say that Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, would not be engaging in such fiery rhetoric and taking such dramatic stances if he didn’t have some very strong backing behind him, specifically Russia. If this is the case, then the entire scenario has been ratcheted up another notch.

Other pundits are proposing that the U.S. is trying to eliminate their economic rivals by securing all of the world’s energy sources. But what these individuals seem to forget is that those atop the international business pyramid don’t have loyalties or allegiances to any nation-state. In their eyes, the only concern is bottom-line profits. Therefore, the U.S. and China aren’t rivals, but are working hand-in-hand to keep the Machine running. Plus, the bankers who control the dollar also control the euro.

So, what the New World Order controllers are doing is simply leveraging one side against the other to ultimately make things happen which most benefits them. It doesn’t matter if Americans lose their manufacturing base and China is nothing more than a vast slave labor factory. Likewise, if the U.S. economy crumbles via a switch to the euro, it doesn’t affect them in the least if they emerge victorious.

Regrettably, this is the way those bastards play the game, and the country most behind the eight-ball is still the U.S.A.
