While Syria is torn apart by the warring of U.S. imperialists and Islamic fundamentalists-leaving its children to die of starvation – another state plans to take advantage of the chaos by stealing resources from Syria’s southern region using the US military to protect those violating international law.
The theft will be carried out by the most notorious pushers of military hegemony and they don’t care that it violates international law.
Genie Energy is an American-based oil and gas company with major investors and advisors comprising a who’s who list of war profiteers – Dick Cheney, Rupert Murdoch, Lord Jacob Rothschild, and James Woolsey.
Genie Energy is headquartered in Newark, New Jersey. It is a holding company comprising Genie Retail Energy, Genie Retail Energy International, Genie Energy Services, and Genie Energy Oil and Gas.
Genie Energy and its hidden role in the war on Syria
The president of their Israeli subsidiary is Efraim “Effi” Eitam, an Israeli military commander who called for expelling the “cancer” of Arabs from Israel.
What do Dick Cheney, James Woolsey, Bill Richardson, Jacob Lord Rothschild, Rupert Murdoch, Larry Summers and Michael Steinhardt have in common?
They all are members of the Strategic Advisory Board of a Newark, New Jersey-based oil and gas group with the name, Genie Energy. It’s quite a collection of names.
Dick Cheney, before becoming George W. Bush’s “shadow president” in 2001, was CEO of the world’s largest oilfield services company, Halliburton, also reported to be a CIA-linked company tied to the Bush family cabal.
James Woolsey, a neo-con former CIA Director under Bill Clinton, today sits as the chairman of the neo-con think-tank, Foundation for Defense of Democracies, and is a member of the pro-Likud Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP).
He was a member of the infamous Project for a New American Century (PNAC), along with Cheney, Don Rumsfeld and a gaggle of neo-cons who later staffed the Bush-Cheney administration. After September 11, 2001 Woolsey referred to the Bush-Cheney War on Terror as “World War IV,” counting the Cold War as World War III.
Bill Richardson is a former US Secretary of Energy from New Mexico.
Rupert Murdoch, owner of major US and UK media including the Wall Street Journal, is the major financier of the neo-conservative Weekly Standard of Bill Kristol, who founded the Project for the New American Century (PNAC). Believe it or not financial analysts on Wall Street were watching what happened in the investigation into the alleged murder of Jamal Khashoggi because Saudi Arabia’s Prince Alwaleed bin Talal has been a big investor in US companies like Twitter and Fox News. Fox News parent company is News Corporation controlled by Rupert Murdoch. Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal was the second largest shareholder until the Prince sold some of his stock. It’s not clear if the Prince still owns stock in Fox News. The Prince’s investment company, Kingdom Holding, is a major shareholder in Time Warner Cable which owns CNN. Kingdom Holding also own a major chunk of AOL that owns the liberals multi-authored blogging platform, posing as a news source, HuffPost. Currently foreign policies regarding investments in US public companies are very lax. Saudi Prince Dines With Rupert Murdoch ( https://nataliekeshing.com/spmbsrm/ )
Prince Alwaleed bin Talal threatening President Trump
Larry Summers was US Treasury Secretary and drafted the laws that deregulated US banks from the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act, in effect opening the floodgates to the US financial crisis of 2007-2015. A coincidence? Obama was President of the US 2008-2015. Michael Steinhardt the hedge fund speculator, is a philanthropic friend of Israel, of Marc Rich Marc Rich, Billionaire, On the FBI’s most wanted list, Pardoned by Bill Clinton in 2001. Marc Rich also traded oil with Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran and a board member of Woolsey’s neo-con Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. And Jacob Lord Rothschild is a former business partner of convicted Russian oil oligarch, Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Before his arrest Khodorkovsky secretly transferred his shares in Yukos Oil to Rothschild.
Rothschild is a part-owner of Genie Energy which in 2013 was granted exclusive oil and gas exploration rights to a 153-square mile radius in the southern part of the Golan Heights by the Netanyahu government. In short, it’s quite an eye-popping board.
Golan Heights and international law The Israeli government gave the concession to Genie in the disputed Golan Heights in 2013 when the US-led destabilization of the Syrian Assad regime was in full force.
Conveniently, Israel also began building fortifications at that time to seal off the illegally-occupied Golan Heights from Syria, knowing there was little Assad or Syria could do to stop it.
In 2013, as Genie Energy began moving into Golan Heights, Israeli military engineers overhauled the forty-five mile border fence with Syria, replacing it with a steel barricade that includes barbed wire, touch sensors, motion detectors, infrared cameras, and ground radar, putting it on par with the Wall Israel has constructed in the West Bank.Now, as Damascus fights for its life, apparently, Genie has discovered a huge oil field precisely there. The Golan Heights, however, are illegally occupied by Israel.
In 1981, Israel passed the Golan Heights Law, imposing Israeli “laws, jurisdiction and administration” to the Golan Heights. In response the UN Security Council passed Resolution 242 which declared Israel must withdraw from all lands occupied in the 1967 war with Syria, including the Golan Heights.
Again in 2008 a plenary session of the UN General Assembly passed a resolution 161–1 in favor of a motion on the Golan Heights that reaffirmed Security Council resolution 497, which was passed in 1981 after the Israeli de facto annexation, declaring the Golan Heights Law, “null and void and without international legal effect,” and called on Israel to desist from changing the physical character, demographic composition, institutional structure and legal status of the occupied Syrian Golan and, in particular, to desist from the establishment of settlements…from imposing Israeli citizenship and Israeli identity cards on the Syrian citizens in the occupied Syrian Golan and from its repressive measures against the population of the occupied Syrian Golan.
Israel was the only nation to vote against the resolution.
