Oil Crusades: America Through Arab Eyes

Oil is the lifeblood of modern economics. It is the precious resource at the heart of empire-building -- from the British empire to the American empire today. It underpins the world's financial markets. But seventy per cent of the world's oil supplies lie under the sands of the Middle East.Did the US invade Iraq to grab Iraq's oil? Many people think so. This book shows how this is part of a wider US attempt to dominate international oil and maintain America's global dominance. Written by an influential oil consultant, with experience of working in both the US and Arab oil industries, this book provides a rare insight into the real motivations behind US intervention in the Arab world, and the relationship between the US and the Arab states. Zalloum provides a historical account of the roots of today's involvement, analysing US intervention in the Arab World since the 19th century. Zalloum provides an account of America's changing role in OPEC. He examines the fate of Iraq's oil and the involvement of US contractors. He also analyses the role of oil in America's relationship with Israel, providing an important insight into how this dynamic is viewed in the Arab world. The book offers a unique perspective on how the US is viewed in the Arab region and how progress should be made if real peace and stability are to be brokered.

The founding fathers vision of democracy was transformed into a one dollar, one vote democracy. Wall Street and corporations own all the money and thus all the votes. A clash of civilizations is promoted as a scapegoat for capitalisms systemic failure

Find out for yourself! Islam is not the enemy; Are you surprised to know that Islam's God is like yours? Islams's holy book the Qur'an, in verse (2:62) says: "Believers, Jews, Christians and Sabeans - whoever believes in God and the Last Day and does what is right - shall be rewarded by their Lord; they have nothing to fear or to regret." Islam preaches universalism, racial equality and social justice.  The founding fathers' vision of democracy was trasformed into a one-dollar, one-vote democracy. One-half of one percent of American households owns more than 90 percent of Americans. In such a democracy, Wall street owns all the money and all the votes.  The American dream was hijacked in the 19th century by the few, as president Lincoln feared. It was hijacked by Wall Street and corporations, just as president Rutherford B. Hays said: "This is a government of corporations for corporations by corporations".  Wall Street and capitalism have elevated materialism and economic growth to the rank of a new religion of the land. Money became the ultimate measure of success. In Wall Street Capitalism, citizens are incidental numbers on balance sheets. Materialism became "a tumor in the soul".
