Maybe it's Syria's refusal to connect with Wall Street that presents private bankers with their biggest threat?
"Iraq and Libya have been taken out, and Iran has been heavily boycotted. Syria is now in the cross-hairs. Why? Here is one overlooked scenario . . .
In an August 2013 article titled 'Larry Summers and the Secret "End-game" Memo,' Greg Palast posted evidence of a secret late-1990s plan devised by Wall Street and U.S. Treasury officials to open banking to the lucrative derivatives business.
"To pull this off required the relaxation of banking regulations not just in the US but globally.
"The vehicle to be used was the Financial Services Agreement of the World Trade Organization.
"The 'end-game' would require not just coercing support among WTO members but taking down those countries refusing to join. Some key countries remained holdouts from the WTO, including Iraq, Libya, Iran and Syria.
"In these Islamic countries, banks are largely state-owned; and 'usury' – charging rent for the 'use' of money – is viewed as a sin, if not a crime.
"That puts them at odds with the Western model of rent extraction by private middlemen."
Surely, you remember Wesley Clark's admission regarding seven usury-hating Muslim states slated for extinction in five years?
"That was the fate of countries in the WTO, but (what about) those that were not in that organization at all, including
Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran.
"These seven countries were named by U.S. General Wesley Clark (Ret.) in a 2007 'Democracy Now' interview as the new 'rogue states' being targeted for take down after September 11, 2001.
"He said that about 10 days after 9-11, he was told by a general that the decision had been made to go to war with Iraq. Later, the same general said they planned to take out seven countries in five years: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran.
"What did these countries have in common?
"Besides being Islamic, they were not members either of the WTO or of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).
"That left them outside the long regulatory arm of the central bankersÂ’ central bank in Switzerland.
"Other countries later identified as 'rogue states' that were also not members of the BIS included North Korea, Cuba, and Afghanistan."
