The discussion about Iraq was fascinating, and a great review.
I completely concur that the control of the supply of Oil plays a big role for any dominant empire.
Weekly, there are international reports about “millions of barrels per day” entering the marketplace and also about the demand side “millions of barrels per day” of the marketplace.
Prices jump or drop following every report, or rumor or news.
I also very much enjoyed the discussion of Eisenhower and JFK.
Eisenhower was born north of Dallas in the small town of Denison, Texas near the Oklahoma border. So, as you travel towards the Oklahoma Choctaw Casino across the Red River, you will see Eisenhower’s 16-foot bust statue alongside the highway.

EXCERPT: “…Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.
In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.
Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been over shadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.
The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.
Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.
It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system-ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society.”
