UAE and Duabi World Ports STILL in the "Picture"??

The UAE seems to be a pretty exciting place. I can see why "Bush and Co." want to be in "bed" with these people..... and just look at the picture to the right. What country is just above the UAE? How funny I thought that to be since it is the very country we are about to "subjegate" next. Poor Iran.....

So, getting back to the story I set out to pen down when I started this post and then I got a little off track.... (Isn't it amazing how little things seem to come together once you start looking at the "Big Picture").

.....As I was driving home from my dad's house tonight, I was listening to "Coast to Coast AM".

George Neoury was talking to a "Mariner" from the U.S. and they were discussing how the AUE Company that did not get to take over our ports due to all the political fallout,through another of it's connected companies(Istithmar PJSC), now has purchased a major "Shipping Services Company" which will give DWP (Duabi World Ports) the ability to pretty much do whatever it wants in relation to our shipping industry and port operations. The company that was aqquired is called "Inchcape Shipping Services".

(Not that it matters all that much, as I reported earlier and the mainstream news media didnt grab ahold of the fact that a very high level executive of that UAE based company has been nominated to be the U.S. Maritime adminisrator....David Sanborn-look back in my archives for more on this).

So as the two were discussing on the radio show, it seems that 1/2 of their plan was foiled but now another related half is coming out of the woodwork. Merryl Lynch was overseeing this latest transaction. Doesn't anyone realize (or care) that so much of the world is being bought up by these Arabs???

Well, I think that there is alot more going on again than people are being told. Who knows...maybe one day soon, The U.S.A. will become the U.A.E. (United American Emrites)......just a thought.
And if something like this comes to pass, you thought our freedoms were limited now?

The UAE Government even "filters" internet access within it's lands.

And as I continued to dig on this region of the world, I came across this little tidbit from a web page that talks about the UAE and all that it is ( A quote from the website I visited):
At present levels of production, oil and gas reserves should last for over 100 years. Despite higher oil revenues in 1999, the government has not drawn back from the economic reforms implemented during the 1998 oil price depression. The government has increased spending on job creation and infrastructure expansion and is opening up its utilities to greater private-sector involvement.

A few quotes from the article that I found after "googling" this company that Coast to Coast talked about:

"Commenting on its latest acquisition, Istithmar Managing Director, Osman Qureshi, said:
'ISS has set the pace by combining the latest web-based technology with the unparalleled expertise of its people, strategically positioned around the globe, to stay ahead in an ever-changing maritime environment and delivering premium services to the world's leading vessel operators".

"Istithmar's primary focus is growth and asset appreciation through a diverse portfolio of investments. Moving forward, we will pursue a broader strategy expanding acquisitions internationally,' Jackson said."

"ISS manages over 50,000 port calls each year through a network of 2,300 people located in 210 ports in over 50 countries. With over 2,500 clients across the oil, cruise, navy, container and commodity sectors ISS, in partnership with some of the world's leading operators, has developed an innovative menu of tailored services. These range from local trouble shooting to our global voyage management package. Electra had acquired ISS from Inchcape Plc in March 1999."
