U.S. checking possibility of pumping oil from northern Iraq to
Haifa, via Jordan
By Amiram Cohen

The United States has asked Israel to check the possibility of
pumping oil from Iraq to the oil refineries in Haifa. The request
came in a telegram last week from a senior Pentagon official to a
top Foreign Ministry official in Jerusalem.

The Prime Minister's Office, which views the pipeline to Haifa as
a "bonus" the U.S. could give to Israel in return for its
unequivocal support for the American-led campaign in Iraq, had asked
the Americans for the official telegram.

The new pipeline would take oil from the Kirkuk area, where some 40
percent of Iraqi oil is produced, and transport it via Mosul, and
then across Jordan to Israel. The U.S. telegram included a request
for a cost estimate for repairing the Mosul-Haifa pipeline that was
in use prior to 1948. During the War of Independence, the Iraqis
stopped the flow of oil to Haifa and the pipeline fell into
disrepair over the years.

The National Infrastructure Ministry has recently conducted research
indicating that construction of a 42-inch diameter pipeline between
Kirkuk and Haifa would cost about $400,000 per kilometer. The old
Mosul-Haifa pipeline was only 8 inches in diameter.

National Infrastructure Minister Yosef Paritzky said yesterday that
the port of Haifa is an attractive destination for Iraqi oil and
that he plans to discuss this matter with the U.S. secretary of
energy during his planned visit to Washington next month. Paritzky
added that the plan depends on Jordan's consent and that Jordan
would receive a transit fee for allowing the oil to piped through
its territory. The minister noted, however, that "due to pan-Arab
concerns, it will be hard for the Jordanians to agree to the flow of
Iraqi oil via Jordan and Israel."

Sources in Jerusalem confirmed yesterday that the Americans are
looking into the possibility of laying a new pipeline via Jordan and
Israel. (There is also a pipeline running via Syria that has not
been used in some three decades.

        1933-39: UNITED STATES. The Warburg family, one of the world's
        wealthiest and most influential Jewish families and owners of one of
        the world's largest banking empires, was intimately involved in the
        drafting of the Treaty of Versailles which bankrupted the German
        republic and set the country up for takeover by the Nazis. The
        Warburgs are a major force in restoring German arms makers such as
        Krupp to economic viability while cooperating with the American
        promoters of Adolf Hitler, particularly the Rockefeller, Harriman
        and Bush families and the Dulles brothers. Warburg represents the
        Harriman/Bush interest in the Hamburg-Amerika Line in Germany and
        exercises the Harriman/Bush voting rights at stockholders' meetings.

        The Warburgs are also heavily involved in assembling the massive
        chemical cartel, IG Farben another major promoter of Adolf Hitler
        and the manufacturer of Zyklon-B gas which will used to exterminate
        millions of Jews and other "subhumans". Members of the Warburg
        family sit on the Farben board of directors.

        The Warburgs apply pressure to Jewish organizations in the U.S. to
        refrain from criticizing Hitler and the Nazis. Max Warburg's son,
        Erich, sends a cable to his cousin, Frederick M. Warburg, a director
        of the Harriman railroad system. He asks Frederick to "use all your
        influence" to stop all anti-Nazi activity in America,
        including "atrocity news and unfriendly propaganda". Two days later,
        the American-Jewish Commmittee, controlled by the Warburgs, and the
        B'nai B'rith, heavily influenced by the Sulzberger family, owners of
        the New York Times and another powerful and wealthy Jewish family,
        issues an official joint statement, urging "that no American boycott
        against Germany be encouraged" and advising "that no further mass
        meetings be held or similar forms of agitation be employed." The two
        organizations maintain their "Let's not be beastly to Hitler" stance
        throughout the 1930s, tragically hampering the fight mounted by many
        Jews and anti-fascists against the rise of Nazism.

        It's just good business.....
