If the US controls the sources of energy of its rivals - Europe, Japan, China and other nations aspiring to be more independent - they win. This explains why pipelines from the Caucasus to the West have to be America-friendly - i.e. Turkish or Macedonian - and not 'unreliable', meaning Russian-controlled. Washington, always, has to control everything: that's what Brzezinski and Henry Kissinger always said. -"Pipelineistan," Asia Times, 26 January 2002 (230)

Texas-based, scandal-prone Enron, along with Amoco, Chevron, Mobil, UNOCAL and British Petroleum are spending billions of dollars to pump the reserves of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. (231) It just so happens that Enron CEO Kennith Lay has his Rockefeller ties - he was on the board of directors of Texas Commerce Bank when the bank was bought by Chase - David Rockefeller's main bank. (232)

In 1996, the US-Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce was founded. The Director extended "deep appreciation to the following companies which have contributed to its establishment: Amoco, BP America, Chevron, Exxon, Mobil, Occidental, Panalpina, and Unocal." Other characters involved in the current Mid-East war who have held positions with this innocuous-sounding oil industry funded organization include Unocal President John Imle and White House favorites James Baker, Dick Cheney, and Henry Kissinger.

And speaking of Cheney, Enron gave Bush-Cheney 2.3 million in campaign contributions for their theft of the White House in 2000. They also contributed to over 200 members of Congress from both parties. Most of the SEC (the watchdogs of Wall Street) investigative records of Enron were stored in the World Trade Center. (234) Imagine that ... the very planes that destroyed all that "conflict-of-interest" evidence in the WTC also gave them an excuse to invade and occupy oil-rich territories. What a lucky coincidence for Bush and Cheney.

Every time I see a picture of the burning towers, or see the gruesome photos and hear the loud impact of the jumpers, I think to myself; "He who profits by a crime commits crime" (235) - and nobody profited more than Bush, Cheney and their oil buddies.
