US Stealing Syrian Oil, Gabbard Exposes War Empire, and Russia-China-India Bypass Western Monetary Control

The geo-political narrative is often mired in misdirection and spin to promote lies as the truth. But sometimes the truth is plainly stated, which is what happened in a recent Trump press conerence about Syrian oil.

"We are leaving soldiers to secure the oil. And we may have to fight for the oil. Maybe somebody else wants the oil, in which case they have a hell of a fight."

Shocking, yes. But most knowledgeable people know that's what has been going on in the Middle East for the past 18 years since 9/11, and more before that. These are oil wars, wars for oil.

Trump further stated:

“The oil is so valuable. For many reasons. It fueled ISIS: number one. Number two: it helps the Kurds. Because it’s basically been taken away from the Kurds. They were able to live with that oil. And number three: it can help us because we should be able to take some also. And what I intend to do, perhaps, is make a deal with an Exxon Mobil, or one of our great companies, to go in there and do it properly. Right now it’s not big–it’s big oil underground. But it’s not big oil up-top. Much of the machinery’s been shot and dead. It’s been through wars.”

Syria has spoken out against this. The exploitation of foreign oil, or outright theft, is a violation of international law. But the war mongering bully that the US is will do what it will do: take what it wants from those who can't fight back.

Few politicians dare to speak against the US empire's war machine. Ron Paul did. A current democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard is also doing it. She's telling the truth about US wars, and the other politicians and mainstream media want her to shut up.

She called out not only Trump for continuing the era of wars, but also both parties who continue to support them, as well as the complicit media who sells the support for the masses:

"Donald Trump has blood of the Kurds on his hands, but so do many of the politicians in our country from both parties who have supported this ongoing regime-change war in Syria that started in 2011… along with many in the mainstream media who have been championing and cheer-leading this regime-change war."

Countries that don't support the war machine, like Russia and China, often have economic sanctions imposed on them by the US and the western monetary controlled system of SWIFT. But Russia has developed an alternative to get past this control grid, called SPFS. China's and India's banks are joining this new financial messaging system as well.

Iran also joined SPFS, as SWIFT cut off some Iranian banks from using their system last year, which crippled their ability to do economics with other banks in the world. SPFS is another nail in the coffin for the US domination of global economics through SWIFT, along with many countries going away from the US dollar.

As power shifts away from the US hegemony, the economics will change. The dumping of the US dollar will cascade through US and probably world economies, likely putting many into dire economic times.
