579,Obama seems to think rare earths are important,why then is Obama saying this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QM6mZyC-G_E We have all these people in the West baying for Iranian blood all based on a lie and many on this site have fallen for it.

All they can pathetically mumble is conspiracy theory.It was a conspiracy by the neo-cons in Israel and West to invade Iran and do to them what they did to Iraq based on the lie of nuke program.We know Iraq was a lie.

Now Obama has turned his attention to Africa where China is securing it's energy supplies.How stupid do you think most people are?

Athonyve far too hard for me.
On making up your mind would you mind voting for me?
I give you that right knowing you will pick the right one.

I fear your confidence may be misplaced, Belly, as it is a difficult one.
I'l probably choose on the basis of which is the funniest, as I can't decide which is the silliest.
Cheers,
Anthony

Another farrago of half-truths, Arjay. When are you going to learn, that no-one is at all impressed.

You only find yourself, 97% of the time, looking like a goose.

>>Obama is attacking China who has 97% of the World's Rare Earth minerals for using this leverage as an access to affordable energy.<<

Actually, the vehicle is the WTO, an organization in which China has recently become an active participant, and to whose rules they are a signatory. So it isn't "Obama", it is...

...the United States, Europe and Japan who are leading the charge.

Incidentally, this is hardly new news. This, from October last year.

http://www.dailytech.com/China+Cuts+Off+Worlds+Rare+Earth+Metal+Supply/article23069.htm

The lead-in is key. While China has at present 97% of the market, they have only 30% of world deposits. Driving up the price - which is what a deliberate shortage will cause - will encourage players other than China - Australia among them - to pick up their game, and start digging.

Interestingly, it turns out that the money to be made is not in the raw material at all, but in the manufacturing processes. So China was smart to invest in rare earth mining, years ahead of its rivals, and to put itself into a position where it could exploit the fact that they were at the very head of the supply chain.

As far as Iranian nukes are concerned, this too is old news - a month ago, the Los Angeles Times reported that all sixteen US intelligence agencies had determined that Tehran was not seeking to build nuclear weapons. What puzzles me is why this should come as a surprise to anyone.

And one thing is certain...

>>Their Kony debacle fell over within hours of the alternate internet media revealing the truth of China being in Uganda for oil and Kony was an excuse for an invasion of Uganda.<<

Kony 2012 was the work of a disturbed, possibly bipolar, loner. Far from it being "their Kony debacle", the US government is as embarrassed about is anyone.

Lift your game, Ajay. You're looking very silly.

Anthonyv arjay has a fight on his hands to win this one.
Until recently I ignored Palmer, but after another filed me in, can not get enough of his silliness.
He actually truly said,head shaking stuff, cutting our carbon emissions.
Believe me he said it, would do no good as it was up there circling the earth!
However I have no doubt our arjay is a worthy contended.
Lets call it a draw,no gain in leaving one out.

All of you have a long hard look at this short video by George Carlin.He died in 2007 but predicted the theft of pensions and property from the US people.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JChUO4TLjnY

If you all cannot see the truth by now,then it is too late.You too have become corrupted by this evil system and will go down with it.

The Oligarch's next plan will be more of the same.China is the new enemy now they have eliminated the Bin Laden fantacy.China and Russia stand in the way of their Global dominance.The USS Enterprise will soon be in the Gulf.They may scuttle that and blame Iran,like Israel did on the USS liberty in 1966 and blamed Egypt,or some new false flag attack like a dirty bomb in the USA.The Enterprise has 8 nuclear reactors and cost a fortune to decommission.They announced this as it's last voyage.Far cheaper to sink it.The Twin Towers was full of asbestos and would have cost $ billion to clean up,far cheaper to insure it against terrorism and blow it up,thus make a profit.

They are desperate and divided,thus will do stupid outrageous things to maintain power.

The elites throughout history have plotted and schemed for power and advantage.Nothing has changed much except the scale of their treachery.
