Thanks for the uninspiring gold charts Searle. <g>

Here is a headline not unexpected:

Revealed: Israel plans strike on Iranian nuclear plant

timesonline.co.uk

We've covered this topic before, and the inevitable is drawing nearer.

The link in the bottom is series of articles regarding oil, the politics and militarisation of oil. This is a long piece, but worth the read in my opinion. Some of it is extremely pessimistic about the eventual outcome, and supports what you and others have been saying about the direction of the US policy. This link is actually three seperate articles by three seperate authors, the last by a member of the Australian parliament.

excerpts from the first part.

""Every country in the world is betting everything it has on this one hand knowing that after 2007 or 2008 the game ends. The map of the future after that is unknowable and, to large extent, irrelevant. That's why Rumsfeld has won the battle to control American intelligence operations and why the new National Intelligence Director John Negroponte is getting the job.

"Is that right?"

Without the slightest hesitation the former CIA employee answered, "Yes.""

"The only way to curb demand is to pull the plug on global economies, starting first with the already partially cannibalized US economy. Our manufacturing has been stolen or given away for "spare parts." So have our savings, our Constitution, our resources, our credit, our credibility, our confidence, our manufacturing base, our jobs; and soon our houses, our personal bank accounts and ultimately our hope. The United States is being liquidated after a fait accompli merger and acquisition.

The bottom line turns out to be the suicide of the human race as mergers and acquisitions lead to the final moment of malignant capitalism: "the last corporation standing."

If these guys are right, the future is scary.
