They are all quite mad and we are all living in an insane asylum...

Ibrahim Turner

Sure seems like it on the surface…

But are ‘they’ mad or just following a hidden agenda? And what could that ‘hidden agenda’ be?

All that ‘they’ have done seems like a mad house on steroids.

But what if they are working to a plan? Could all this carnage, deception, power grabs, Gitmo, constitution shredding, renditions, no-fly lists and the like possibly be planned, and if so, what is the end game? You have to take not only the long view, but also the global view.

Using daisy cutters, depleted uranium shells, unexploded munitions littering Lebanon, Serbia, Iraq 1991 and the current ‘shock and awe’ war/occupation; are they part of the plan?

It is obvious that Iraq will not recover to its former state for many years. Bombing a country ‘back to the stone age’ has been quoted by every belligerent, war mongering neocon regarding every country that has been attacked, or threatened with attack. For what underlying purpose? Can it be gleaned from their statements of policy, however insane those seem?

Or is there something that they are careful to NOT say?

They want the oil in Iraq, and by inference, they want the oil in Iran. North Korea has no oil, so it is not in this particular equation. Syria has very little oil so it is a second tier country in this scheme of things, but is an ally of Iran and has occupied Lebanon and has been accused of letting/sending suicide bombers into Iraq.

Perhaps the geopolitical chessboard ‘great game’ is to deprive China of the oil, as a way to prevent their rise to appose the Americans. And surrounding Russia with missiles is another part of the plan, as Russia seems to have found a way to find oil and gas using a different geology theory than the west uses. They have been finding oil where no one expected to find it, using their alternative methods, hidden from the west by the cold war stand off, but in reality, the western oil companies did not really want to consider anything new in the geology theories, after all, reputations were at stake. So Russian cannot be blackmailed by cutting off access to oil, because they have all they need and can export as well, so their economy is beginning to boom, just like China’s.

I read an article about energy resources and the author attended a conference of bankers, CEO’s and captains of industry. He reported that not once was ‘Peak Oil’ mentioned. And when he asked a few bankers, what did they think about peak oil, most of them did not even know what it was. You can bet your bottom dollar though, that the oil companies do know all about it, in intimate detail.

It was predicted that peak oil would occur around 1995/2000, but the price hike from the OPEC countries in the 70’s pushed that estimate a further few years into the future. Some estimates put the peak oil time at 2007/2010, and others say 2020. Whatever the true date, it is certain to come and the civilization built on cheap oil will no longer be viable.

The other ‘alternative energies’ thoroughly investigated and detailed in the article showed that the highest percent of price to power ratio would be about 3% or with some innovative scientific breakthrough maybe 5%. Let’s suppose that it could be 10%.

The ratio for oil is 30%. Nothing else comes even close.

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.

A well traveled and slightly worse for wear 72 year old Englishman; widower, several children and grandchildren and a penchant for wondering 'what is the hidden agenda' in almost everything I read. A keen interest in American culture (an oxymoron?) (more...)
