HOW MUCH BETTER DOES IT GET? SHAHRISTANI ELECTRIC CZAR, McCHRYSTAL, UAE & UNIV OF PA


Behind a sensational media blitz about Afghan US General McChrystal's resignation, termination, lie other RELATED policy developments, about which I will say more.

First, under Ripley's Believe It or Not fantastic and true event column, the following.
After some political jockeying and factional contrived demonstrations about Iraq electric power shortages, created, ongoing SINCE our US/Iran invasion, occupation, inception, who, of all people, replaces Iraq's current, outgoing Power (Electricity) Czar/Minister??
Heading Ripley's Believe it or not column, the prize goes to none other than:
Iran Mullah Sistani's son-in-law and Baghdad OIL MINISTER, SHAHRISTANI!!!
BINGO!! JACKPOT!!
He/they win for audacity, balls, chutzpah!:

McCHRYSTAL

Meanwhile, Afghan US General McChrystal's resignation/termination relates to POLICY decisions and disagreements surrounding IRAQ/IRAN/AFGHANISTAN/PAKISTAN, etc.
Afghanistan does NOT exist in splendid isolation.
Afghan policy relates to the long arm of surrounding REGIONAL military, political and shifting economic players, alliances, conflicts, investments, partners, etc, including our INVISIBLE IRAQ WAR and its endless occupation.
Of course, underlying all is NOT which policy or General, but, NO WAR, NO OCCUPATION and NO PRIVATIZATION.
For more examples, Pakistan just signed a gas pipeline agreement with now UN SANCTIONED Iran's present government, the one currently occupying Iraq.
And Afghan's Taliban, of course, are a Pakistan ISI extension, creation, another bunch of allied pseudo Islamic Fundamentalist Fascist criminal thugs demanding their share of the pie.
And, then, EU/NATO/US interests coincide and overlap in Afghanistan.
This list continues.
McChrystal's discontent and disparaging remarks are being depicted as personal disagreement, insubordination.
What I HEARD reported, having NOT read Rolling Stone's sensational article, as McChrystal's Obooma Administration characterizations, seem correct ones to me.
Even our idiotic Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal jumping and screaming down by our devastated BP crude oil Southern Gulf region correctly characterized Obooma's NAZI Administration as missing in action, inept, dysfunctional, leaderless, rudderless, chaotic, unresponsive, stupid, aloof, uncoordinated, etc.
Anyway, one can view McChyrstal as another rat in a long, growing line abandoning our sinking, stinking US NAZI Citigroup/Exxon/Morgan Obooma Dictatorship Titanic Ship of State.
I've even heard "rumored suggestions" that Secy of State Hillary Clinton somehow will shift positions with VP Biden, which would make sense, since Hillary ALREADY functions as President abroad and they could just slip her quietly and officially into that position.
After all, overseas "emerging private investment markets" are why we fight and occupy Iraq/Afghanistan and are the MOST crucial, critical, important ones and NOT what happens back in United Suckers and Assholes Banana Republic Homeland.

UAE, UNIV OF PENNSYLVANIA, WHARTON SCHOOL

And, then, I thought I would illustrate my above point about emerging markets, as usually I do, with an example that happens to have a somewhat parochial interest and value to me.
It's indicative IF one understands and knows the power relationships represented by the institutions and individuals named below, a bit like Harvard University with their reactionary private economic circles, federal government, CIA, military taxpayer research contracts, grants, private endowment investment fund, business connections, etc.
The Univ of Penna and their "prestigious" Wharton Business School are on par with Harvard in this respect.
Our private, sprawling, Top Ten Ivy League Univ of Penna campus happens to be Philadelphia City's single LARGEST PRIVATE employer, major institutional real estate owner, investor, developer through their enormous endowment fund AND, ready for this, the PRIVATE, expensive, Univ of Penna pays NO local property taxes because they qualify as a NON (NOT FOR) PROFIT EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION!!
And, so, they are represented, present and partnered in our up and coming MIDDLE EAST "emerging market speculative bubble" scenario and its UAE, GCC coordinating nerve center.
