The MARTINZ Critical Review - Ep#117 - Charlotte Dennett "The GREAT GAME of OIL; Facts in isolation leads to confusion - facts in context leads to understanding"

The MARTINZ Critical Review

In today’s episode we embark upon a new direction of inquiry, taking a deep dive into the politics, policies, persuasions, and the myriad of consequences of big oil’s competitive and ruthless quest for oil and regional dominance. We will examine the history of oil, Europe’s history in the middle east beginning prior to WW1, and the evolution and introduction of other world players leading up to WW2, and then right up to present day events.

Get situated, get comfortable and strap in for what I assure you will be a very interesting and provocative ride.

Joining us today is investigative journalist, author, and lawyer Charlotte Dennett. Ms. Dennett was born in Beirut, Lebanon, where her mother worked as an English teacher, and her father Daniel Dennett, worked as an intelligence officer for the Central Intelligence Group—the predecessor to the CIA. In 1947 Mr. Dennett was tragically killed in a suspicious plane crash that up until today remains clouded in mystery and official silence.

Though she grew up in Massachusetts, Ms. Dennett later returned to Lebanon with her mother and completed her last two years of high school in Beirut. She returned to the U.S. to get her BA at Wheaton College in Norton, Mass, and went on to obtain a Masters Degree in Art History at Post Pius XII Institute in Florence, Italy. She then returned to Beirut and became a journalist, first as a roving correspondent with the weekly English language feature magazine, The Middle East Sketch, and later as a reporter for the Beirut Daily Star. Her journalistic work took her beyond Lebanon to Syria, Jordan, Israel, Iraq, Iran, Dubai, Kuwait, and Oman and she became fascinated with the impact of modernization on women’s lives in those countries.

Ms Dennett is also the author of a number of books including, “Thy Will Be Done: The Conquest of the Amazon”, and her latest book “FOLLOW THE PIPELINES” which we will be focusing on today.

Ms Dennett has also been a lawyer since 1997, practicing as a sole practitioner in northern Vermont with an emphasis on family law, personal injury and consumer fraud cases.
