The Violent Twilight of Oil by Peter Mass has just been published.
From a review in The Irish Times
Engaging exploration of the politics behind cruel paradoxes of oil wealth - The Irish Times - Thu, Nov 12, 2009In Nigeria it is estimated that 80 per cent of the hundreds of billions of dollars of oil revenue have accrued to just 1 per cent of the population, while the vast majority of people have gotten poorer, leading to a rebellion in the oil rich Niger Delta. Meanwhile, the former head of ExxonMobil, the world’s largest private oil company, earned $145,000 a day during his tenure as oil production brought environmental destruction to local communities from spills and the flaring of gas from oil fields. Acid rain is so bad in parts of Nigeria that it eats through corrugated iron roofs every few years...
In Ecuador, Texaco gave Native Americans bread and cheese in exchange for permission to prospect for oil. Maass notes that just as oil has to have dirt, sands and poisons taken out of it, there is a parallel process of political refining so that publics in the West don’t learn about what is done to assure continued access.

This in the first I've heard of the Ukranian 'superbug' in any of the papers, if you could call the Daily Mail a paper.....no mention of our scientist friend who predicted the outbreak though.
British scientists testing Ukrainian 'super flu' that has killed 189 people | Mail Online
I heard something about this last week from a leading epidemiologist in Cork. A Mossad agent said sometime back that some superbug would hit Ukraine soon. Apparently there's all hell breaking out there with people breaking into pharmacies looking for a vaccine.
I'd have thought Mossad would be predicting an outbreak of some kind in, say, Syria.

Some doctors have likened the symptoms to those seen in many of the victims of the Spanish flu which caused millions of deaths world-wide after the World War One.
An unnamed doctor in western Ukraine told of the alarming effects of the virus.
