U.S., Big Oil exploit Guyana border dispute to attack Venezuela

 Genocide Joe Biden is sending weapons to Israel to continue its brutal ethnic cleansing of Gaza and its rampage against Palestinians in th

By Scott Scheffer

Now, almost unbelievably, the U.S. machinery of state is trying to set up an opportunity for yet another U.S. war – this one against Venezuela using that country’s neighbor Guyana as a proxy, by reviving a centuries-old border dispute that lay dormant for decades. 

The exploitation of newly found oil reserves larger than those of the United Arab Emirates or Kuwait by U.S. oil giants triggered the escalating aggression by the White House.

Some traditional grazing land is lost to China each year, Sonam Tsering of the All Changtang Pashmina Growers Cooperative Marketing Society said. But this year, even the main winter grazing areas near KakJung, Tum Tselay, Chumar, Damchok and Korzok are out of bounds amid the heightened tensions, he added. "It's devastating. The PLA [China's People's Liberation Army] used to encroach into our side by the metres, but this time they have come inside several kilometres," said Jurmet, a former elected official with only one name. "It was breeding season for the goats. Around 85 percent of their newborns died this year because large herds were pushed out into the cold from the grazing lands [in February]," he told AFP over the phone from Leh, the region's capital city.

The above is the Annular Solar Eclipse at 0° Cancer which will be June 21, 2020.  Also on that day, we will have Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto will conjunct each other and Uranus will be square to Pluto.  All this spells trouble.

I first saw this a month ago before I heard about the rising tensions in the area. As far as I know NO mainstream media outlets in the United States are covering it.  Below is a two minute video from June 11th, 2020, by India Today on the build-up in the area.

“Greece alone has right to extension of its territorial waters, whenever…” says Athens

“Extension of coastline is a legitimate and inalienable sovereign right of Greece, in accordance with international law,” Athens responded to Ankara that claimed extension of territorial waters was a casus belli.tells

In a statement issued early Tuesday afternoon, the Greek Foreign Ministry said Greece’s right to expand its territorial waters is “unconditional” and “not negotiable.”

The decision to extend its territorial waters solely depends on Greece that has the right to do so whenever it wants and as it deems it.”

“This right is unconditional and is questioned or negotiated with third parties. not called into question or negotiated with third parties. This is certainly the case for the whole territory.”

“Arbitrary interpretations of international law and threats of violence on the part of Turkey, as well as the questioning of the legitimate rights of our country, neither change this fact nor contribute to good neighborly relations,” the Foreign Ministry statement concluded.

Last week, Greece announced to extend its territorial waters in the Ionian Sea and South Peloponnese.

Wool from pashmina goats reared by nomads in the inhospitable high-altitude cold desert region of Ladakh - a federal territory in India - is the most expensive and coveted cashmere in the world. But the shaggy creatures that provide the wool are being pushed out of their grazing lands in the confrontation between the world's two most populous nations, causing the death of tens of thousands of kids this season, locals and officials said. The huge number of deaths - in the tens of thousands according to a local Indian official who spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity - could devastate the sector in the coming years. The goats yield some 50 tonnes of the finest - and most expensive - feather-light cashmere wool each year, supporting a vital handicrafts industry in the Himalayan region of Kashmir that employs thousands of people. Most of the wool is woven into exquisite shawls sold the world over from luxury store Harrods in London to the Dubai Mall in the United Arab Emirates; one shawl can cost up to $800.

More than 1,000 families of nomadic Changpa herders roam the vast Changtang Plateau at an altitude of more than 5,000 metres (16,400 feet), grazing some 300,000 pashmina goats, black yaks and horses through the summer months. They move to the slightly lower-altitude grazing lands straddling Tibet and along the mighty Indus river during the harsh winter months of December to February when temperatures drop up to minus 50 degrees Celsius (minus 58 degrees Fahrenheit). The herders are reeling from the impact of climate change, which has made winters harsher and summers drier. Some have even abandoned their generations-long way of life to migrate to towns in Ladakh in search of other sources of income.

There have been numerous face-offs and skirmishes between Chinese and Indian soldiers over their 3,500-kilometre (2,200-mile) frontier, which has never been properly demarcated. The latest is concentrated in the Ladakh region, just opposite Tibet, with Indian officials claiming Chinese troops overstepped the boundary in recent weeks. The alleged movements came after military face-offs at the eastern part of the border near Sikkim in May.
