Quote:In his recent remarks in Florida, outgoing President Barack Obama spoke of how during the Second World War, the Americans “bled and died to build an international order” and how “we depend on that international order to protect our own freedom.” Essential to the “international order” of which he spoke is the power of certain financial monopolies, controlled by wealthy families with names like Rockefeller, Carnegie, Rothschild, and Morgan. This international order is being indicted by an ongoing global rebellion. The revolt comes in response to western capitalism’s real failure to improve people’s lives. Despite the US victory in the Cold War, the monopolists do not have the unipolar world they desire.

The oil siege may have brought down the “fracking cowboys” but it failed to starve out the independent oil exporting states. Now it seems the Pentagon could be shifting its aim. With the new administration, the target may no longer be the independent countries that produce and sell oil, but rather the huge Communist-led center of manufacturing that buys it from them: The People’s Republic of China.
