Bush's Greatest Fear:Russian Oil Cartel/Gold Ruble by AL MARTIN On Feb. 21st, Russian foreign minister Lebedev said in a press conference shown on C-SPAN that he had, in recent weeks, spoken to the heads of state of all of the non-OPEC oil-producing nations about the coordination of oil policy with the Russian government. He also pointedly reminded everyone that Russia is now the world’s Number Two oil producer and the leading producer of natural gas. What does this imply? This is the Bush Regime’s greatest fear -- that Russia has also been purchasing gold in recent weeks for the first time in years. To finance the purchase of gold, it has been selling platinum and palladium, which it had been previously withholding from the market in order to support the price during the last year. This is one reason why the price of palladium and platinum has come under pressure in recent weeks, because they are, after all, thin markets. The Russian government has announced that it has made early repayments of all of its remaining IMF loans. Russia has also announced that she will act to readjust her payment schedules on foreign debt to pay off ahead of schedule the remainder of Russia’s $126 billion state debt. Very simply put, Russia is flush with cash and is now running the largest net surplus budget accounts of any nation-state on the planet –even exceeding the surpluses that the government of China is maintaining. This will allow Russia to completely pay off all of its state debt within 10 to 12 years, instead of the 16 to 28 years that it had originally planned. And this original plan, by the way, is only 12 months old. In order to do this, Russia, the world’s largest exporter of commodities, needs to maintain commodity prices at high levels. This is particularly true with oil, its chief export. In order to do so, Russia is attempting to develop a new second OPEC by stringing together all of the so-called non-OPEC oil-producing nations into one new group under Russian control.

"Bush Cabalist John Negroponte has been named the new DNI (Director of National Intelligence)," writes Martin. "He will have as his most immediate subordinate our new DCI Porter Goss. And this is the secret history of two former Cabalists who have been rehabilitated into the highest ranks of the new regime of the Bush Cabal. "Goss is going to be reporting t directly to Negroponte, which strikes me funny because this is a Reagan-Bush era redux. Now we have an old wet-ops guy (Porter Goss) reporting to an old narcotics smuggler (John Negroponte)… "John Negroponte was US ambassador to Honduras in the Reagan-Bush regime, and then he was forced out of that position in 1985 when it became known that he had facilitated Oliver North’s wet operation in Honduras to assassinate the then Honduran Army Chief of Staff, Lieutenant-General Reuben Mata," Martin continues."In fact, Mata was assassinated by a squad of U.S. Special Forces. Negroponte’s involvement was to provide them with false visas to get them into the country and then to facilitate their exit from the country. The Honduran government, of course, quickly became aware of Negroponte’s involvement and proffered a charge against Negroponte of conspiracy to commit treason against the government of Honduras "At that point there wasn’t even any time to get Negroponte out of the country the normal way. He was actually taken out by US Army helicopter from the ambassador’s residence in Tegucigalpa to the U.S. airbase at San Pedro Azul. From there he was taken to Swan Island. "Obviously, the then Reagan-Bush regime did not want Negroponte in the hands of the Honduran government for questioning because it would have revealed Negroponte’s role in attempting to negotiate with General Mata for a larger cut of CIA cocaine that was flowing through Honduras. This is what Mata was seeking, which ultimately got him assassinated when he threatened to blow the whistle. "Mata felt that he should be getting the same $5,000 per kilogram from the Agency for each kilogram passing through Honduran soil that General Noriega of Panama, Colonel Roberto D’Aubisson, then dictator of El Salvador and General Ephraim Rio Montt of Guatemala were receiving. "The irony of it, in a twist of Iran-Contra redux (this shows you just how it keeps coming back) is that Porter Goss, another infamous Iran-Contra player, was involved in a variety of wet-ops (assassinations) in Central America during the same time frame, which was the early 1980s. At that time, Goss had actually reported to then Ambassador Negroponte in Honduras, when he was involved in efforts to establish the so-called secure facilities in Guatemala and El Salvador for the torture of left-wing peasants by the then CIA-supported right-wing regimes of Colonel Roberto D’Aubisson and General Ephraim Rios Montt. These events have been detailed in my book 'The Conspirators.'" For the rest of this remarkable hidden history, log on to Al Martin Raw.com (www.almartinraw.com conspiracyplanet.com
