Peak Oil Debate Continues
An engrossing, encompassing and interesting debate is raging and the entire energy fraternity is passionately involved. Proponents and the opponents of the peak oil theory are out in open — putting across their diametrically opposite arguments, in a charged atmosphere. Leading from the front, Saudi Aramco Chief Executive Abdallah S. Jum’ah is now forcefully arguing that at the current consumption levels, the world has enough oil to last — for at least 140 more years. Admitting though in a very conspicuous manner that crude remains a finite source, and none can indeed debate it, he emphasized the world has tapped only a considerably small portion, than previously thought, of this precious natural resource. » Source: MENAFM.com And when Jum’ah says something he speaks with a sense of authority and responsibility. After all he is the caretaker of the world’s largest crude reserve. Speaking before a galaxy of industry experts in Vienna, …
“None of us can go a little way with a theory,” wrote John Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890) in his book Essays Critical & Historical . “When it once possesses us, we are no longer our own masters. It makes us speak its words, and do violence to our nature.” What is theory? What an interesting quotation about theory from the good cardinal. But before we go too far along, here is the next question: What is theory? The word itself derives from the Greek word “theoria,” meaning examination, contemplation, or speculation. A theory is a doctrine, or scheme of things, which terminates in speculation or contemplation. Or you can say that it is an exposition of the general principles of a given field of study. A simple way to understand the concept of a theory is that it is the premise or set of premises upon which an argument rests, although the …
What is Peak Oil? The term “peak oil” is used to describe the point at which the earth’s supply of oil will no longer be able to meet our energy needs. Oil is not a renewable energy source, and therefore can and will be exhausted at some point in the future. There is still a lot of debate about the projected date of peak oil due to our inability to accurately take stock of current world oil supplies. As early as the 1950’s geologists have been warning of an oil supply collapse. M. King Hubbert noticed a logistics curve in oil discoveries and based on these findings he predicted that there would be a global oil peak between the year 1995 and 2000. » …

Peak Oil and 9/11
Peak Oil was the primary motive of the Bush regime for allowing and assisting the attacks. Without 9/11, it would have been impossible for the US to invade Iraq and take over their oil fields, which gives the US a dominant military position in the middle of the world’s main oil production region as we pass the point of Peak Oil.
The first cabinet meeting of the Bush administration (after they stole the White House) included discussion of how they were going to attack Iraq. In the spring of 2001, the Cheney energy task force included examination of maps of Iraqi and other Persian / Arabian Gulf oil fields and which companies had drilling rights. Vice President Cheney was on record as knowing about Peak Oil before entering the White House, and presumably the oil company connected officials in their administration were also aware of this basic fact. The energy task force happened around the same time that warnings that 9/11 was imminent were pouring into the White House from close US allies and even from within the FBI (which had agents tracking the flight schools that some of the perpetrators were training at).
The most important question facing the human race is how we respond to the interconnected crises of Peak Oil, Climate Change, overpopulation, and resource conflicts.
How we use the remaining oil will determine what the “post carbon” society will be:
• do we “spend” it on solar panels or battleships?
• on relocalizing food production or further “globalization” of production?
• more superhighways or better trains?
• more coal, oil and nuclear, or more renewable energy systems?
The global crises of the end of cheap oil and the start of climate change require global levels of solutions (relocalize everywhere). We are not merely at peak oil, we are at peak technology, peak money, peak communication. Real solutions would require us to redirect the energy, talents, resources of global capitalism, the military industrial complex, universities, media and other pillars of our society.
We have enough resources and talent to shift civilization to create a peaceful world that might be able to gracefully cope with the end of concentrated fossil fuels, or to create a global police state to control populations as the resources decline. We don’t have the ability to have a peaceful world while embarking on a World War over the last of the fossil fuels that power civilization.
This is a simple question that has a complicated answer – since these decisions were not made democratically. Understanding why civilization did not respond to the warnings of resource depletion decades ago is needed if a shift toward sanity is still possible at this late date.
We are not “addicted” to oil — the modern world is completely dependent upon it for our industrial agriculture systems, our transportation networks, and the global economy. Addictions are things you can give up — but oil runs our civilization.
Peak oil, minerals depletion, deforestation, depletion of fisheries, soil degradation, toxic and nuclear waste, declining per capita food production, desertification, climate change, ultraviolet radiation increases, overpopulation, declining natural gas extraction, the limits to growth on the electric grid and other “critical infrastructure” — these and many other facets of our overload on the planet are natural limitations on the cancer-like endless growth of industrial civilization.

iscredit the growing army of Americans who have realized that 9/11 was an inside job. Several vanguard researchers are revealing the ominous nature of upcoming military drills like those that successfully cloaked the New York, 9/11 and London, 7/7 attacks in a covert operations haze. The brilliant Michael Blanshan alerted me yesterday to this description of how Iraqi citizens are tortured by Americans and Israelis into performing terrorist attacks. The gruesome story is reminiscent of the Manchurian Candidate movies describing US intelligence operations designed to create mind-controlled killers and is not for the faint of heart.
The recent UK and US “terrorist plot” is doubtless another phony fear-mongering operation as this article from Alex Jones at infowars.com makes clear:
“Government enforcers and frightened slaves are all hot and bothered about the latest supposed terror plot targeting UK flights inbound to the US. How long before the whole saga turns out to be hoaxed BS like every single other major terror alert there has been?
Ridiculous restrictions have been slapped on travelers, with mother’s having to taste baby milk before they board planes and all hand luggage, including liquid drinks, being banned.
The new alert arrives with the 9/11 truth movement on the cusp of a wave of media exposure.
Evidence of government sponsored terror and how they use the fear of terror to control society is bursting out at the seams as editorials nationwide in the US are uniform in attempting to debunk research that questions the official version of 9/11.
Statistical analysis has proven that every time Blair and Bush sag in approval ratings, a fresh terror alert gives them a bounce back up the charts.
Every single major terror alert issued by either the US, Canadian or UK governments has proven to be either a manufactured facade, an entrapment sting or an outright hoax.

• In 1901, The Persian Government awarded British businessman William D’Arcy a lease so he could explore for oil.
British Oil Company and Burmah Oil began drilling for oil in 1905 and they found large amounts of oil.
Not to be out done by The British,The Standard Oil Company of California was granted oil concessions by Saudi Arabia in 1933. The Standard Oil Company of California began to explore for oil.
While World War Two was raging a prominent American geologist Everette DeGolyer reported to the U.S. State Department in 1944 that Saudi Arabia was sitting on top of more than 25 million barrels of oil.
A year after World War Two ended, in 1946, The Standard Oil Company of New Jersey (later renamed Exxon) and Socony-Vacuum (now Mobil Oil) invested in the Saudi oil fields.
Finding Sauda Arabia loaded with oil,Standard, Exxon and Mobil merged to form a new company named Aramco and began drilling for oil in Saudi Arabia.
Iraq was virutally touched by oil exploration however in 1927, The Iraq Petroleum Company (owned by The United States, British, French,and Dutch oil companies) petitioned the Iraqic government for premission to drill for oil in the Mosul province of Kirkuk, Iraq.
When oil was discovered in Basra in 1938, The Iraqi government seized control of The Iraq Petroleum Company.
Today’s Petroleum Industry
• Saudi Arabia, the United States of America and Russia are the top three oil producing countries in the world.
Eighty percent of the worlds readily accessible oil reserves are located in the Middle East.

Filled with new revelations, Hubris is a gripping narrative of intrigue that connects the dots between George W. Bush’s expletive-laden outbursts at Saddam Hussein, the bitter battles between the CIA and the White House, the fights within the intelligence community over Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction, the startling influence of an obscure academic on top government officials, the real reason Valerie Plame was outed, and a top reporter’s ties to wily Iraqi exiles trying to start a war. Written by veteran reporters Michael Isikoff and David Corn, this is the inside story of how President Bush took the nation to war using faulty and fraudulent intelligence. It is a news-making account of conspiracy, backstabbing, bureaucratic ineptitude, journalistic malfeasance, and, especially, arrogance.

Alternative energy sources are renewable and have lower carbon emissions, compared to conventional energy sources. These include energy generated out of biomass, wind, solar, geothermal or hydroelectric. Combined with the use of recycling, the use of clean alternative energies will help ensure man’s survival into the 21st century and beyond. All renewable energy sources are given by nature and therefore vary in their behavior which has to be measured and monitored to be used effectively
