EPISODE 1049 - Follow the Pipelines: The Great Game for Oil in the Middle East

For Beyond 50's "Political" talks, listen to an interview with Charlotte Dennett, a journalist and attorney. She's back on the show to go over the history of the Pipeline Wars in the Middle East - specifically between Israel and Palestine. You'll learn about her father, America's first master spy in the Middle East who died mysteriously on a secret mission to Saudi Arabia about 80 years ago. Gazans ask why the world is silently standing by while their women and children are being bombed, starved, burnt to death and ethnically cleansed. Dennett provides the conclusions that come straight out of her father's papers: "We must control the oil at all costs." He was referring to Saudi oil, to be transported by the Trans Arabian pipeline (TAPLINE) to a terminal point in either Palestine or Lebanon, for trans-shipment to a war weary Europe. That heavily protected pipeline, which terminated in southern Lebanon, turned the US into a major power, not only in the Middle East, but the world.
