US Seeks to Disintegrate Yemen for its Oil Resources
Yemeni Revolution Salvation Front spokesman, Sultan al-Samei, told Al-Alam news channel on Tuesday that the US is seeking to reinforce its military presence in Yemen under the pretext of combating al-Qaeda in south of the country while its actual intent is expanding US control over Yemen’s oil assets.
Al-Samei added that Washington is also plotting to divide Yemen using its growing military presence in the country, emphasizing that the terrorist groups operating in Yemen and other countries are, in fact, US elements paving the way for direct intervention of Washington in the internal affairs of other countries.
Al-Samei’s remarks came days after Yemeni Foreign Minister Abu Baker al-Qirbi confirmed the deployment of US marines in the Yemeni capital, claiming that American forces were in Sana’a to protect the US Embassy.
Al-Samei also said that al-Qaeda-affiliated groups operating in southern Yemen are linked to the regime of ousted US-backed dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh.
The rebel groups associated with al-Qaeda terrorist network that killed 23 Yemeni soldiers south of the country a few days ago, are linked to Ali Abdullah Saleh’s regime, al-Samei noted.
Yemen’s Revolution Salvation Front spokesman also said that the country is still being, in effect, controlled and ruled by Saleh and that the so-called unity government headed by Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi is nothing but a political fixture.
Saleh’s General People’s Congress (GPC) party has17 ministers in the new 34-member cabinet and his relatives control the country’s security services.
Saleh, who ruled Yemen for 33 years, stepped down in February under a US-backed power transfer deal, presented by the Saudi-led [Persian] Gulf Cooperation Council, in return for immunity.
His deputy, UK-trained field marshal Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi, replaced him on February 25 following a single-candidate presidential election backed by the United States and Saudi Arabia. Hadi will serve for an interim two-year period as stipulated by the power transfer deal.

stir the pot enough to keep the Saudi on your side. US does not want them to bolt to the BRICS now. A point of inflection is building and there is no way to stop it. We can only watch and see what happens.
I see becoming a Prepper a civic duty, so that if any natural or man made disaster happens I can help myself and others. Those that are prepared will always suffer less tragedy than those not.

Ever notice a lot of Al-CIA-da terrorists are either ‘associated with or are a lot of time ‘self’-proclaimed Al-CIA-da memebers? Its nearly impossible to find anyone, and I do I mean, any indiviudal that actually says there actually belong to that mythical organization. Everyone is ‘linked’ to, or allies with, or something. Never actually…you …part of. AL-CIA-da, the ulimate secret society, so secret and shadowy, the the people that supposedly work for it, never seem to get promoted to anything close to full membership. They must have very high standards at Langely,I mean, at the secret Al-CIA-DA HQ in Virginia,errr I mean Afghanastan, or Somalia or Libya or whowever the US is bombing this month.

The Empire’s Military/Security Industrial Complex is a ‘free trade’ organization. They are free to trade with both sides and the middle as long as it is obscenely profitable. One division sells landmines and another sells prosthetic limbs and body bags. If you haven’t seen the latest in war toys, be patient, they are coming to a neighborhood near you. BTW: Have you noticed how the gun and ammo sales have picked up in the Empire Homeland as streets get more dangerous and the police get more scarce?
