Oil and Israel! ~ Arab Strategy Forum speech 2004 by Francis A Boyle
vanessa beeley / February 17, 2015
"The United States government will seek direct military control and domination of the hydrocarbon resources of the Arab and Muslim world until there is no oil and gas left for them to steal, using Israel as its regional "policeman" towards that end."
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE COMPASSIONATE, THE MERCIFUL
"The demand by the Bush Jr. administration and its Zionist neo-conservative operatives for democratization in the Arab world is a joke and a fraud that is designed to pressure, undermine, and destabilize Arab governments and states at the behest of the genocidal Israeli apartheid regime, and to pursue America's continuing campaign for outright military control and domination of the Gulf oil and gas resources that the United States government launched in direct reaction to the Arab oil embargo of the West in 1973. For over the past three decades American foreign policy toward the entire Middle East has been determined by oil and Israel, in that order.
The United States government will seek direct military control and domination of the hydrocarbon resources of the Arab and Muslim world until there is no oil and gas left for them to steal, using Israel as its regional "policeman" towards that end. Oil and Israel were behind both the Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. wars against Iraq. And now Bush Jr. is threatening to attack Syria, Lebanon, and Iran in conjunction with the genocidal apartheid regime in Israel. As the oil and gas in the Arab and Muslim world proceed to run out, the United States and Israel will become even more predatory, aggressive, destructive, and genocidal toward Arab and Muslim states and peoples.
The Bush Jr. administration and its Zionist neo-conservative operatives could not care less about democracy in the Arab world. In fact, Bush Jr. and his Neo-Cons are all trying very hard to build a Police State in the United States of America that we lawyers are vigorously opposing. What the Bush Jr. administration and its Zionist neo-conservative operatives really want in the Arab world are quisling dictators who will do their dirty work for them and the genocidal Israeli apartheid regime against the wishes and prayers of the Arab people for democracy, human rights, the rule of law, constitutionalism, as well as for the liberation of Palestine and Al Quds.
Those will be the predominant facts and trends that the Arab world will have to confront between now and 2020. It was not my assignment here today to advise Arab states and the Arab people how to counteract this anti-Arab and anti-Muslim agenda by the United States and Israel. But certainly the sacred Koran and the divinely inspired teachings of the Prophet Mohammed – May Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him! – shall guide you and protect you during this most difficult period in the history of the Arab Nation, the Arab People, Arab States, and Islam."
Shukhran.

Always correctly centered and compensated
Thanks to the INOFlex® and INOZet® clamping solutions of HWR Spanntechnik, EMB Zerspanungstechnik can even better fulfil customer quality requirements in production work.
The mid-Hesse Lahn valley near Biedenkopf was the home of many small and larger foundries up to the 1960s and 1970s. But in the long term only the large ones were in a position to compete. This is reflected in the history of EMB Zerspanungstechnik in Biedenkopf. The company was established as an iron foundry for open-sand and stove castings in 1955.
Representing the third generation, Michael Runkel now manages the company employing 17 staff as the Managing Partner. In 1973, Mr. Runkel's father and uncle had changed the company from a foundry into one undertaking mechanical processing. To this end, the company started deploying CNC machines in 1986. Today, the stock of machines comprises twelve CNC machines for turning and milling.
The most common materials which EMB machines are spheroidal and grey-cast iron. These are usually finished castings but also continuous castings in the case of one customer. In addition, the Biedenkopf company also manufactures components from aluminium and to a larger extent from stainless steel predominantly of the 1.4305 material.
"Most of our customers are foundries and engine plants along with others from agricultural technology, bearing technology and the fitness industry", is Michael Runkel's summary of the broad customer base.
The turned parts which EMB machines are 20 to 300 millimetres in diameter with individual weights up to 14 kilogrammes. "We are a series manufacturer through and through. The lots are ones from 200 to 30,000 units", explains Mr. Runkel. Around 80% of the components machined by EMB are turned parts. Michael Runkel refers to a marked increase in the milled parts proportion over the past few years. The turning/milling centres of EMB's production enable all-in machining with main and opposed spindle – and also in the five-axis range.
EMB's range of work & services also includes sub-assembly mounting in addition to turning and milling. "In our assembly department, we assemble, for instance, some 50,000 sub-assemblies each year for a major customer which – as completely picked & packed merchandise – are supplied with all accessories directly to the customers", clarifies Mr. Runkel.
EMB cooperation with HWR Spanntechnik began in 2015 when EMB purchased the INOFlex® compensating, four-jaw chuck from HWR. "We had received an enquiry from a customer on machining aluminium components. One of these components recalled my mind to an advertisement from HWR Spanntechnik for the INOFlex® chuck. After a thorough examination, we decided to opt for this chuck as it promised ease in clamping the component", remembers Mr. Runkel. INOFlex® is one of HWR's own chucks with which round, rectangular and geometrically misshaped parts can be centrically and compensatingly clamped.
EMB uses the INOFlex® chuck on an Index G200 turning/milling centre. Currently, two almost identical-in-design parts are being machined with the chuck for a customer on the machine. "We also now use the chuck for other components. The parts are components for supporting arm systems. The INOFlex® is the ideal clamping solution since the parts have two straight and two semi-circular surfaces. The part could not be properly clamped in a three-jaw chuck", explains Mr. Runkel. Optimum clamping of the parts is needed as the zinc die-cast parts hardly display any machining tolerance. "It follows that an advantage of the INOFlex® chuck is its capacity to centre the component correctly at all times", praises Mr. Runkel.
Since October 2016, Dennis Richter from HWR's Technical Sales has been attending to customers in North-Rhine Westphalia and the surrounding regions. Although he was not present at the launching of INOFlex® at EMB, he did monitor the next joint project in mid-2018.
"Our job was to manufacture a high-precision component with a six micrometre cylindricity for a customer. That is a highly demanding task in contract-based production", according to Mr. Runkel. It was clear to him that only with pendulum chucks would it be possible to clamp the workpiece. "I am well acquainted with the HWR product range and so I immediately contacted Mr. Richter. On having seen the drawing, we both very quickly agreed that the INOZet® clamping system was the right solution."
With the INOZet® clamping system, an extremely flexible and compensating six-jaw chuck for clamping thin-walled components can be made from an existing, traditional three- jaw chuck with attachable pendulum bridges. With a set each of gripper jaws for internal and external clamping, INOZet® machines whatever diameter the blanks have. This is a decisive benefit over a three-jaw chuck equipped with traditional clamping jaws.
"We looked into whether the component with this precision requirement lies within the range which the INOZet® system can clamp.
It is difficult to guarantee this with a cylindricity of six millimetres. I said to Mr. Runkel that although a risk was involved, we still intended to support the test", was how Dennis Richter described the situation at the outset It was the right solution and became a success. "Set-up, specimen manufactured, finished. It was quite simple – as was intended", put by Mr. Runkel in a nutshell.
The idea is for a further component to be clamped at EMB with the INOZet® system as clamping with a normal thee-jaw chuck has resulted in out-of-centre pressing. "The INOZet® is a great product and functions perfectly", praises Mr. Runkel.
The forerunner of HWR Spanntechnik is the Henke design office founded in 1989. As early as 1990 clamping jaws were being marketed. HWR developed its own product range from 1995 onwards. In the years that followed, HWR brought INOZet®, INOTop® and INOFlex® onto the market.
