| | Under the 'Pax Americana' , multinational corporations are interacting in 'old boy' global capitalist class control networks of armaments, oil production and cyberspace. Global militarisation legitimised in discourses of 'protecting freedom' secures world oil and gas resources for Euro-American and Sinic industrial use, promotes corporate profits, and supports the post-2000 Pax Americana. The Pax's 'command and control' system seeks to checkmate Muslim control of 60% of world crude oil supplies by destroying 'rogue' regimes and investing in multinational corporations exploiting oil, diamonds, coltan and other (finite) industrial resources in non-Muslim controlled African states; the US plans that for 'national homeland security' , West Africa, especially Nigeria, will supply over 25% of US imported natural gas and oil by 2010-25. |
