"PRIVATIZATION KEY TO SHARING WEALTH" AND THE LULL BEFORE THE STORM

The above heading comes from a Turkish Daily News article to which I will link, momentarily.
I really appreciate the Turkish Press.
They are refreshing to me.
Often, their headlines and reporting are blunt, to the point, direct, whereas anything I read here would be round about, double/triple speak, Orwellian euphemisms, obfuscation, etc.
Whomever is responsible for Turkey's English language section, he/she/they should get a prize for clarity in journalism.
So, now, to their latest heading about privatization, quoted above.
The source of the quote says it all,

Meanwhile, ever more and consistent, massive nationalist demonstrations in Turkey occur against the AKP.
And continued deafening silence in the US.
In my previous post, below, I speculated that the US/Rice meeting with Iran would provide the necessary international preconditions to further restrain, constrain, isolate Ahmadimidget and his/their militias IF Iran appeared to be obstructionist and recalcitrant at their nuke meeting.
Such is the case.
Remains to be seen, now, what happens next regarding Georgia/Russia and Gazprom/Iran.
What is clear to me, however, is regime change in Iran and Ahmadimidget's demise is on the agenda, just as was Sadr's demise. Additionally, in the latest development regarding Iraq, the Arab face necessary for an Iraq government of "reconciliation" appears to be forthcoming.
The Sunni Arab National Accord Front rejoined Iraq's government, after Iran's Sadr was deposed.
Former Iraq PM Allawi was connected with the Sunni National Accord Front.
Will he, too, make a comeback?
A little reminder on Allawi's connections,

By the way, lest anyone forget, Allawi is Chalabi's nephew.
But, I will provide subsequent background links for reminder. Consequently, those Arab countries who have since boycotted Iraq's present Iranian government, most importantly, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, can now claim they recognize it and begin establishing political and commercial ties.
This will be viewed as mitigating, buttressing, buffering, leveraging, checkmating, balancing the Iranian and Kurdish control and militias which now dominate Iraq's government, courtesy of the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld carte blanche collaborationist policy with Iran's Fascist Mullahs and their Nazi militias. Expressing this quite clearly, today, "Iraq FM to Attend Arab Allies Meeting with Condi Rice,"

Besides, Allawi was always far more preferable and well connected to US and Western circles than any Iranian stooge, such as Maliki.
Allawi graduated from the London School of Economics, MIT and Harvard University.
For further info on him, just do some searches.
Here's a few brief links,

www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Allawi

And for slightly different emphasis,

www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayad_Allawi

And


www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Ali_A._Allawi

In this last link, it mentions that Allawi is Chairman of Progas Pakistan.
An embedded link to Progas is included, above.
Nonetheless, here is their website,

http://www.progas.cc/

Of course, Progas and Allawi are inextricably intertwined with the Dana Gas and Crescent Oil saga and their interlocking directorates.
And, there's always our man in Pakistan, former Citigroup Exec, PM Aziz, to assure these connections become reality.
A minor postscript to the above.
Besides Progas Pakistan two other entities were named in conjunction with Allawi, the Intercapital Group and Fisa.
I did some searches on both names and came up with nothing beyond, circular, self-referential links.
The name may be Falcon Intercapital and apparently has offices in both London and Switerland.
Beyond that, there is NOTHING substantial available and no website for either alleged company on the internet after doing numerous searches. While all of the above occurs, Iraq's provincial elections have once more been postponed due to the unresolved, explosive nature of Kirkuk's status, revenue sharing and oil contracts.
All of these conflicts and contradictions are a ticking time bomb waiting to explode, the lull before the storm.
As for Obama, who has been getting alot of publicity, recently, I suggest everyone simply IGNORE him, entirely. Just pretend he does not exist.
He is completely irrelevant.
His entire ersatz campaign, from beginning to end, is a scripted theater performance, a meaningless event, entertainment, with a predetermined outcome.
Sound and fury signifying nothing.
