"OK, we know that a large part of the agenda for our current presense in Afghanistan has to do with oil and gas.
The Caspian Sea region with its vast oil and gas reserves has been the scene of a “feeding frenzy” with many oil companies jockeying for position.
The pipeline projects going west to Europe have been been sorted out through The Balkan Wars.
The most profitable and outrageous U.S. “Silk Road” projects originate in Turkmenistan and are to get natural gas and oil to China and Japan.
THE LASTEST INFORMATION VERIFYING THIS (note, written in October) IS AS FOLLOWS:
BATEMAN, A SOUTH AFRICAN COMPANY, USING AMERICAN MONEY AND WORKING WITH A HALLIBURTON COMPANY, HAS JUST FINISHED A GAS COMPRESSION PLANT IN TURKMENISTAN!!!
Bateman Project Holdings Ltd., (BATEMAN), is not a native South African company; the board members and executives are mostly German with some Israelis and British.
The plant was started in 1998 and opened as scheduled this month.
It may only be coincidence that the U.S. had plans prior to 911 to invade Afghanistan in October.
The gas compressing equipment was supplied by Dresser-Rand, a Halliburton company until it was sold for $536 million last year.
Dick Cheney was the CEO of Halliburton until he became the VP.
BATEMAN has merged with U.S. companies and has many global projects including in the U. S. and Columbia. Besides their usual energy and mineral joint projects, one involves water processing plants here in the U.S., a plan to soon sell us water!
From their website with photos under BATEMAN GLOBE 23:
“Besides acting as the main contractor for the project, BATEMAN was also instrumental in making the financial arrangements covering 100 % of the project cost. In the process, several ‘firsts’ were established, as this was the first time that the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im) financed a gas transaction in Turkmenistan and that Ex-Im entered into a joint financing agreement with the credit agencies of Israel (IFTRIC) and the Czechoslovakian Republic (EGAP) for a project in Central Asia.”
http://www.bateman.co.za/go.htm
In 1998, the U. S. financed a feasibility study for the then U.K. company Mobil, along with Halliburton and Exxon to do projects in Turkmenistan.
Mobil and Exxon have since merged.
http://www.gasandoil.com/goc/news/ntc82686.htm
The Halliburton company, Brown and Root, has been involved in the Turkmenistan pipeline projects since at least 1995.
Since then as well, Exxon has been reported to be working with China and Japan on Turkmenistan pipeline projects.
http://www.sipa.columbia.edu/RESOURCES/CASPIAN/inf_p53.html
http://www.bisnis.doc.gov/bisnis/country/000801txener.htm
There are other articles about Exxon and Halliburton working with China and Japan on U.S. funded oil and gas projects out of Turkmenistan but I can only access them through the WSJ’s Dow Jones Publication Library. If someone wants them I can copy and post.
Exxon also sold off on of it’s oil field ventures to an Israeli company, Bara Group Ltd. (C.BAR). So again, we see the involvement of Israel.
Please keep in mind this oil and gas is to go to China and Japan.
There is also an article at WSJ from last year with a very interesting title describing how many gas companies have been in China to make deals for the expected LNG (liquified natural gas), demand. It is: SLOW BOATS MAY SOON BE ON THE WAY TO CHINA FOR NEW OPIUM.
Here on RMNs, UselessEater reported the U.S. joint Oil and Gas Industry Forum met in 1998 in Beijing and 1999 in Houston.
http://www.rumormillnews.net/cgi-bin/config.pl?read=12380
The BBC Monitoring (again from WSJ) reported another meeting involving China and Japan about Turkmenistan oil and gas in Houston in May of 2000.
In fact, there is a Special Advisor to the President and Secretary of State for Caspian Basin Energy Diplomacy. In a speech in December 1998, he said some very revealing things about “U.S. energy policy” in the Caspian Sea region.
“The fundamental objective of U.S. policy in the Caspian, therefore, is
not simply to build oil and gas pipelines. Rather, it is to use those
pipelines, which must be commercially viable, as tools for
establishing a political and economic framework that will strengthen
regional cooperation and stability and encourage reform for the next
several decades.”
…” In addition to serving as an honest broker of these sorts of
discussions, the U.S. Government views its proper role with respect to
Caspian pipelines as a catalyst on financing through our trade finance
and investment agencies. Last May, we announced our Caspian Sea
Initiative, an unprecedented effort by the U.S. Government's s three
finance and investment agencies, the Trade and Development Agency
(TDA), the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), and EXIM
Bank, to coordinate their efforts to promote investment in energy
projects throughout the Caspian region. The first major step in this
effort was TDA's launching last June of a feasibility study for a
trans-Caspian gas pipeline. In October, TDA announced a new grant of
$823,000 to BOTAS, the Turkish pipeline consortium, for U.S. technical
assistance. The grant will allow BOTAS to gain access to U.S.
expertise on technical, financial, environmental, and legal matters
associated with negotiation of the Baku-Ceyhan oil pipeline and the
trans-Caspian gas pipeline. TDA, OPIC, and EXIM Bank are also opening
a Caspian Trade and Investment Finance Center in Ankara. The Center,
staffed by representatives of the three U.S. Government trade finance
agencies, will spearhead U.S. efforts to mobilize financing for
projects in the region. Congress also has underscored its support for
the Caspian Sea Initiative by including language in this year's report
language for the Foreign Operations Act that encourages OPIC to raise
its internal limits on participation in Caspian energy projects,
subject to normal due diligence and prudent underwriting practices.”

Well, as I mentioned, history repeats itself in the most uncanny ways.
Exxon, now Exxon Mobil, is the company formerly known as John D. Rockerfeller’s Standard Oil.
Standard Oil has a very interesting history on 2 counts.
It was the first company able to give businesses the same rights as individuals.
A very important issue that our forefathers, who wrote The Declaration of Independence, had with England was British Crown Companies.
To avoid this situation, in the U.S., a corporation was granted a charter by a State. The State had the right to revoke the Charter if the corporation was shown to be harmful to State or citizen.
Back in the early part of the century, New York refused to grant Standard Oil a charter. So they went over to New Jersey and got one and then got the laws changed in court to give a corporation the same rights as an individual.
Later Standard Oil was cited with violations against The Trading with the Enemy Act for continuing to supply Hitler’s Germany with oil during WWII.
Oddly enough so was the Harriman company, that became Root and Brown, a Halliburton company.
The Harriman family along with W. Bush’s grandfather ran the Harriman company.
Halliburton was Cheney’s company.

: "BINLADIN WAS CHENEY’S HALLIBURTON’S VENTURE PARTNER!
: I realize I've been kind of beating around the
: "Bush" with this and it sometimes can be
: difficult to extract all key points from some of my more
: labyrinthian posts, so I'm just going to come out and say
: it as clearly as I can.
: Cheney had been the CEO of HALLIBURTON since 1995 until he
: took up residence at his latest exclusive business address
: at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
: The SAUDI BINLADIN GROUP (SBG) is Osama Bin Laden's Family's
: business commonly referred to as Binladin.
: Until recently, before they graciously withdrew, Binladin was
: a partner in the Carlyle Group along with Bush Sr. and
: Frank Carlucci.
: Before that Bush had been open to criticism of "Trading
: with the Enemy".
: Osama Bin Ladin is NOT estranged from his family.
: In fact, he and his family have been long-term business
: associates of the Bushs'; at least since backing W. Bush's
: Harken Energy company in the 1980's.
: Osama Bin Laden has also been a CIA asset instrumental in
: fighting the Russians in Afghanistan in the 1980's.
: He, the CIA and Pakistani Intelligence formed The Taliban.
: In the 1990's The Taliban was an intregal part in the pipeline
: project, (the CENTGAS Consortium), that was to go from
: Turkmenistan through Afghanistan and Pakistan to the Indian
: Ocean to get oil and gas to China and Japan.
: The Taliban was to provide "the stable government"
: to enable the pipeline project to proceed.
: The principle company that was involved in the CENTGAS
: Consortium was Unocal, which interestingly enough evolved
: from Standard Oil.
: Standard Oil was one of the companies cited for "Trading
: With The Enemy" by the US government during WWII.
: Also cited was The Harriman company that Prescott Bush, W.
: Bush's grandfather ran.
: Harriman became Brown and Root now part of Halliburton.
: These companies, along with a bank that Bush was involved in
: during WWII, greatly financed and supplied Hitler
: preferentially over the Allies.
: History does repeat itself.
: Anyway, The Taliban, headed by Osama Bin Laden, was even
: brought to Houston, Texas in 1997 to discuss this pipeline
: deal.
: The pipeline project had some difficulties after the American
: embassies were bombed in Africa in August 1998.
: Thereafter, it was said many times that someone else would
: have to "provide a stable government" for the
: pipeline project to proceed.
: Although the FBI was supposed to be tracking OBL and his
: financial dealings since the Embassy bombings; this was
: consistently blocked by Bush and Phil Gramm.
: The "disappeared" Binladin website listed H C PRICE
: as their venture partner.
: As I mentioned before this happened on September 27th as I was
: writing Part 3 of The Silk Road Series.
: However, I had recorded the information from the website in
: various ways so I can reproduce it.
: Projects that Binladin and HC PRICE were venture partners in
: were 2 pipelines they built for Enron; the Northern Border
: Pipeline and the Florida Gas Pipeline Project.
: HC Price is a Halliburton company.
: THEREFORE UNTIL RECENTLY, CHENEY'S HALLIBURTON AND BINLADIN
: WERE VENTURE PARTNERS WHO HAD DONE PROJECTS FOR ENRON.
: My previous posts, including December 5ths, detail the
: connections between Enron, the Bushes and others in the
: White House.
: THEREFORE, THOSE IN THE WHITE HOUSE HAVE BEEN BUSINESS
: PARTNERS WITH BINLADIN FOR YEARS.
: THIS SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AND COMPANIES HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY
: TRADING WITH THE ENEMY AT LEAST SINCE WWII.
: THIS IS MORE THAN A CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
: THIS IS TREASON!
: Now, “The Family” excels in secrecy and deception so it is
: very difficult to follow its’ dealings.
: However, I have tracked Binladin's publicly acclaimed Business
: Venture Partner, H C Price to Halliburton.
: Bredaro Price was an HC Price company.
: In 1993 Dresser bought HC Price.
: In 1996 Dresser and Shaw Industries Ltd. of Canada merged
: Bredaro Price and Shaw Pipe Protection to form
: Bredaro-Shaw.
: Dresser was then acquired by Halliburton.
: OK, these are the references detailing the above links from:

: The Gas Pipeline Group
: Enron's Gas Pipeline Group owns interests in four interstate

: Florida Gas Transmission
: Florida Gas Transmission, the sole interstate natural gas
: pipeline serving peninsular Florida, is the fastest growing
: system in North America. With a surge in state population
: and demand for gas-fired electric generation, Florida Gas
: Transmission is working on two major expansions. Phase IV
: will consist of pipe and compression to extend its network
: to southwest Florida and add capacity of nearly 200 MMcf/d.

: proposed Phase V expansion, once completed, will add
: approximately 400 MMcf/d of capacity and has an in-service
: date of 2002. The proposal was filed in December with FERC.
: The 4,795-mile pipeline had average daily capacity of 1.5 Bcf
: in 1999.
: Northern Border Pipeline
: Northern Border Pipeline runs from the U.S./Canadian border in
: Montana to Illinois, transporting approximately 23 percent
: of all Canadian gas imports to the U.S. The pipeline
: measures 1,214 miles and averaged daily deliveries of 2.4
: Bcf in 1999. The Chicago Project expansion was put in
: service at the end of 1998. By interconnecting with
: multiple pipeline systems, this link fundamentally changed
: North American markets by establishing a new relationship
