The shale oil, often cited as part of the American reserves, which would be profitable if the world price of oil rose high enough, overlooks the fact that it would cost $1 to get 50 cents of oil, a very negative ratio, so nobody would do it. No new oil refineries have been built for 30 years and many have been closed down - doesn’t that tell you something about how the oil companies are viewing the available reserves. There is also speculation that there has been some skulduggery with the estimates of reserves of oil under the ground in Saudi Arabia over the years. So what are the consequences of peak oil? Every item of food, everything that people buy in the supermarkets and the city malls, is delivered by truck. Delivered across America, Europe, and Asian countries - to every large city around the world. Forget container ships and rail, which also use oil, because at the end of the trip, the only way is by truck. If the oil goes to $200 a barrel, the trucks will probably still run, But the price of goods and food will skyrocket and if the oil gets scarce and you have to queue up at the gas station for hours to get a rationed amount of fuel for your SUV, what do you think the average citizen will think of their governments then? Now do you see why they have built those Halliburton holiday camps?
A million or more hungry people, with jobs going down the toilet every day, will be a big problem for their safety. A few dissidents marching on Washington are hardly going to cause any trouble for the Whitehouse, surrounded by police, armed FBI agents and the soldiers that were moved to the District of Columbia from Florida some months ago.
And the sub prime fiasco engineered by Alan Greenspan lowering the interest rates to an astonishing 1% leading to the explosion in crazy, lending – was this fiscally sound, madness, or another facet of the underlying plan? A plan which might be to bankrupt the American economy, thereby causing a financial global recession/depression which would bring the world economy to its knees, with the inevitable result that many more millions would suffer the consequences and die of starvation.
Surreal and horrific as it might seem, the depleted uranium and all the rest, will cause many illnesses and deaths not only of Iraqis and the soon to be attack on Iran, but the US soldiers are exposed to this horror as well. If you are ill from radiation poisoning, hungry because the artificial food chain has broken down, you will not be in any state to appose marshal law, written into that executive order 51.
Kissinger in 1989 inaugurated a think tank with the express task of working on the over population problem. Isn’t it possible that this is part of the overall plan? Millions starving to death, ill and dying from radiation poisoning, after all, the USA military suppressed all the data from the Hiroshima and Nagasaki radiation aftermath of the bombs for 20 years. It began to known because the Japanese began to publish stuff.
If there are people with a plan, they have no compunction in poisoning the environment and having a high IQ and writing plans for global ‘spheres of influence’ like ‘the great game’, does not necessarily mean that it comes with a conscience.
Plans to manipulate entire populations for strategic perceived gains without regard to the deaths of thousands or even millions – does that get a mention in their dry academic equations?
Do you think that the current crop of Neocons calling for the bombing of Iran have any conscience about the everyday Persian people, unfortunate enough to be saddled with a Mullah theocracy?
And what about the other countries with just as bad rulers all over the Middle East? Everywhere you look there are rulers oppressing people in one way or another, with an ideology that suits their purpose, the communists in China, the Russians, theocracies of Saudi Arabia, the Baathists of Syria, the military rule in Turkey, and even the socialism of Venezuela, the problems in Sudan – the leaders all seem to take absolutely no thought for the people they govern, just as long as they remain in power. Pakistan’s latest marshal law is a good example of this. Every where you look, the rulers want to stay in power, to the detriment of the populations, either by outright oppression or distraction of wars and the manipulation of ‘democracy’ - what a hollow joke that is!
In my view peak oil is the reason behind all of the nefarious things the Bush Junta are doing and have done. Clinton was responsible for Serbia, so it is just not the republicans under Bush that are in on the plan. It also gives a plausible reason why the Democrats, voted in to stop the war in Iraq and bring the troops home, seem to be powerless wimps.
It makes perfect sense to me, that all these things are part of a plan and that Bush is just the front man, backed up by Cheney and the Neocons and perhaps others not in the public eye. Lately I’ve read articles questioning George Bush’s sanity and pathological demeanour, probably with a view to committing him to an institution, so as to save the Republic and the American Constitution.
But consider the front-runners of the Democratic Party’s candidates for President. Have any of them said that they will bring the troops home soon? Have any of them said that will take anything off the table regarding Iran? And what about those military bases in Iraq and that boondoggle the Largest Embassy in the world in the green zone? Does that look like they will ever leave, especially as Bush likened Iraq to Korea, a fifty-year stint and still going?
I’ve heard many times the phrase ‘the one party system’ with two faces, keeping people enamoured with trivia on TV, giving them false hope that there is a difference between the Democrats and the Republicans, that a ‘saviour’ in the shape of Al Gore will rescue us all, that AIPAC runs the country, that American foreign policy is run from Tel Aviv, but is any of this really credible? After all, there are other ‘lobbies’, the Pharmacy lobby the gun, the oil, the farming, the Christian, the Muslim, the sustainable energy lobby and on and on, every industry and grouping has its advocates and lobbies, so what is so special about an Israel lobby. I would think that there is also a European lobby and that Russian and Chinese interests do not go un-represented I’m sure, in every country in the west.
