[1137] Truth About Iraq’s Water Problems – London – 12 June 2010

Stacy Summary: Here it is. In this episode we refer to this article which I believe I first read in the Herald Tribune. (Selected quotes below the fold).

For more download & listening options, visit Archive dot org

The two relevant paragraphs from story linked to above:

Iraq’s main rivers, the Euphrates and the Tigris, provide little relief to the parched plains as hydroelectric dams in neighbouring Turkey, Iran and Syria have stemmed the water flow.

But large volumes of water must be pumped under ground to maintain pressure as oil is extracted. Production of a barrel of oil requires around 1.6 barrels of water.

  6. Wiki-leaks are just pure evil. The video on the leak on the Baghdad helicopter killings was so sinisterly made it was disgusting. They made a just combat in a war zone out to be a unjustified killing of civilians, their where no civilians killed and no innocent journalist dead, thous that died completely deserved what they got. And idiot combatants taking children to be sacrificed to get propaganda is so ugly its disgusting.

  7. I would take a poll to see how many people believe there’s no oil offshore in the Middle East.

    @Stacy

    Peak Weter specially in the Middle East. Not just oil.

    Water is ONE big huge problem for all in the region. ALL the Middle East is thristy for water. The problem is dramatic not just in Irak. Israal attacked South Liban mostly for the water. Syria also has ambition on controlling Liban also for the water. Irak regularly complained and threatened attacking Turkey about water. Water in the Middle East is more precious than oil.

    “If governments print more money to pay off their debts, the logic goes, inflation will destroy the value of the dollar, the euro and other paper currencies — thus enhancing the value of gold.”

    Is this the thesis for that numbnuts article you linked, Mother?

    The value of gold as a derivative of the price of gold is floating on that sea of paper that Nelson insists may be destroyed by the boogie called “inflation” (aka worthless currencies).

    A collapse of the paper moon means the sun won’t be reflecting the gold’s luster quite so nicely.

    But that’s okay. Gold will always have “some value”: like seashells and hand grenades.

  11. frances snoot

    The value of gold is that it make for an interesting story. Sure, and Beck and Soros sell hope like dope.

  12. Marc Authier

    Left wing in the UK ? :) Very freakin funny !

  13. @Snoot

    Well, if the governments aren’t going to protect the myth of the value of fiat currency because they got addicted to the first ownership that printing it affords to banks and governments then there has to come a time the myth will be busted.

    Gold has no relationship to paper, but if the paper promise is believed by the gold seller, a buyer may use his paper to create an equitable exchange. If paper breaks down there will not be gold sellers to paper owners. Gold buyers will go for tangible assets..

    The water problem in the middle east can be solver bu using saltworkstech.com technology. Anyone can copy thir idea and the dead sea could be an infinite source of fresh water. Sadly the industry has managed to sell the concept as a non competitive membrane process, thus killing interest. Water is a controlled industry as well you see..Lets hope the water problem shuts down oil from iraq.

    It seems, though, that most articles or essays concerning gold by those invested in gold rely upon price as the derivative of gold value:

    “So how will this affect gold and silver? It is hard to say, because the price manipulation is strong at this level of price, in front of a breakout that the central banks would find threatening.

    So, we will wait and see what happens.” jesse cafe americain

    Right?

  20. So 50% of pensions depend on oil. The irony is infathomable..

  21. Professor John Beddington, said the planet faced “a perfect storm” of food, energy and water shortages which could strike in less than 20 years. In a speech to the Sustainable Development Commission conference in London, Beddington said that one in three people were already facing water shortages and that by 2030 world water demand would increase by more than 30%; energy demands would increase by 50%. “There are dramatic problems out there, particularly with water and food, but energy also, and they are all intimately connected.”

    @Snoot

    Do you think there will be markets and traders like we have now if the glue that ties all contracts together (fiat currencies) becomes unglued? Price is one of the principle ruses of the financial sector, it implies competition even when there is none. The essense is how and when to share in order to survive. Scarifice of gold (relinquishing it) will have meaning. Sacrificing paper will have no meaning.

    @Mother:
    Part of the new index to be used by our ‘monetary authorities’ indicates a forced allocation of resource (stealing/sharing). Debt will be ‘shared’ as well. Mind you: under the watchful eyes of those who now take advantage of the confusion to set themselves as overseers/managers.

    Why do you think Rahm is leaving Washington for Chicago?

    Those behind the criminal actions won’t have to share. They will allocate the best of whatever they want for themselves and their progeny.

    I don’t like that kind of ‘sharing’.

  95. Say bye bye to your Nickel industry Canada

    Mr. Li and his company, Jiangsu Mingzhu, are among the many Chinese manufacturers churning out a revolutionary product known as nickel pig iron or NPI. Despite its prosaic name, the alloy has set the global nickel industry on its ear by providing a low-cost alternative to the refined nickel that has typically been used to make stainless steel. Cheap NPI threatens to squelch demand for the refined metal, which is produced in places like Sudbury, as well as in Russia and Australia.

    In less than five years, NPI has reshaped the world nickel industry, marking a new stage in China’s capitalist evolution. Since it opened itself to trade in the late 1970s, the Asian nation has become famous for two things – lowering the price of manufactured products with its cheap labour costs, and driving up the price of commodities with its aggressive demand. Now it is altering the fundamentals of a vital industrial sector with a homespun innovation.

    NPI, a material produced in low-tech Chinese factories, already accounts for as much as 10 per cent of the world’s $21-billion-a-year nickel market, more than all the nickel that can be produced annually in Sudbury. Some analysts expect China’s NPI producers to double their output this year.

    “The IMF is never wrong without being cruel as well.” Greg Palast

    “Another Envelope that walked onto my desk contained the memorandum for Argentina’s “Country Assistance Plan” for the next four years. The June 25 document, signed by World Bank President James Wolfensohn, included a warning that recipients must use it “only in the performance of their official duties.”

    My duty as a reporter is to tell you that the plan amounts to a breathtaking mix of cruelty and Titanic-sized self-deception. With the economy already in its death spiral, Wolfensohn claimed that “despite the setbacks, the goals set out in the last [year's] report remain valid and the strategy appropriate.” The IMF plan, cooked up with the World Bank, would “greatly improve the outlook for the remainder of 2001 and for 2002, with growth expected to recover in the later half of 2001.”
    In this eyes-only document, the World Bank president expressed particular pride that Argentina’s government had made “a $3 billion cut in primary expenditures accommodating the increase in interest obligations.” In other words, the government gouged spending on domestic needs to pay interest to creditors, mostly foreign banks.”

    http://www.gregpalast.com/eyes-only-memos-show-who-done-it/

    Ah, the medicine for Argentina now set for the global community: austerity! And Wolfensohn, the distinguished patron of our ‘happiness index’!

    Teutonic cruelty.

    Also counterfeited were the credit ratings on packages of junk mortgages.

    And the values of most Westerners today. Ask them and they’ll say they don’t find slavery, exploitation, or environmental destruction acceptable, but check beyond their claims and you see through their actions that they find it all okay provided there is inconvenience, or a small bribe in the way of their counterfeit values.

    I think I might be a Palast fan after all:

    “Even the half-baked economists at the IMF should have known that holding back government spending in a contracting economy would be like turning off the engines of an airplane in stall.”

    Don’t forget: when the airpressure drops in the cabin, one must adjust the oxygen mask on one’s own face before helping other passengers.

    @Bonn:
    For some reason, you always bring this to my mind (with a blink, mind you):

    “‘Oh dear me, dear me!’ sighs Mr Venus, heavily, snuffing the candle, ‘the world that appeared so flowery has ceased to blow! You’re casting your eye round the shop, Mr Wegg. Let me show you a light. My working bench. My young man’s bench. A Wice. Tools. Bones, warious. Skulls, warious. Preserved Indian baby. African ditto. Bottled preparations, warious. Everything within reach of your hand, in good preservation. The mouldy ones a-top. What’s in those hampers over them again, I don’t quite remember. Say, human warious. Cats. Articulated English baby. Dogs. Ducks. Glass eyes, warious. Mummied bird. Dried cuticle, warious. Oh, dear me! That’s the general panoramic view.’”

  128. The IMF is an extension of US imperial policy the sooner they both depart into history the better

  129. frances snoot

    The indicative is the howling storm. And the combination of the howling storm with an invisible agent is fascinating.

    Oh, and Geez: the IMF is liquid in sdr which is hardly dollar hardy.

  130. Snoot….doesn’t come from a store…a store of value that is.

  136. Good point Stacey,

    Water will be more precious than oil very very soon. You cannot eat oil. But you need water to grow food.

    Be ready for water wars in the near future. That’s why the so called “PKK terrorism” in SE Turkey sponsored by Israel and USA doesn’t end.

    The rivers of Euphrates and Tigris will be the next trouble spot and most probably trigger a war between Turkey and the proxy organisations/nations of USA.

    Especially Israel has special interests in the area and through their proxies in Turkey they bougt a lot of farmland.

    Be ready for a rough ride, there is another reason for war other than oil in the area.

  137. Stacy, Max
    You mentioned that the 500 Euro note from Germany is marked with the country of origin ie Germany. Well actually ALL Euro Notes are marked that way. Every Euro note issued by Germany begins with letter X at the start of the serial number. There is even a letter reserved for “when” the UK start printing Euors and thats J.

    All French Euro Notes begin with a U followed by serial number.

    So if Euro falls apart perhaps Ebay will be very busy with Europeans swopping their Euro currency notes to get Euros for their own country . Gives a new meaning to the word “Currency Swaps”!!

    Cheers

    hey snoot,
    i thought palast’s armed madhouse was required reading ’round these parts?
    especially the ‘IMF RIOTS’, yeah written right into their internal, not for tax-payer eyes, documents, of course with loan projections for extra security measures drawn right in, just ask Naomi Wolf, we are on a 10 step program

  139. frances snoot

    @TheUnderfundamentalist:

    Here’s a concise summary:

    “Specifically the IMF traditionally demands that developing countries:

    • Cut spending on social services like schools and hospitals, to free up funds to build roads and power plants to service multinational corporations;
    • Reform tax structures to allow rich investors to accumulate wealth and multinational corporations to take their earnings out of the country;
    • Agree to free trade deals and open their markets to foreign goods, even if those imports have devastating impacts on farmers and other local producers;
    • Privatize and deregulate public goods like schools, healthcare systems, utilities, roads, and even water;
    • Provide legal security for private property above virtually all other rights.”
