Great news, the world is safer now!

I had a hunch that some good news wouldn´t get much play around here. Oh well, back to the doom.

Hey, how many of you play the powerball lottery? I usually never buy lottery tickets but thought I´d get one today just in case I can win...what is it now, like 380-million dollars? Gee, I wish I was an immigrant - that would probably improve my chances of winning.

Wow, more good news - there isn´t really an oil shortage!!

If you believe that oil is a fossil fuel, be prepared to have your thoughts turned upside down.

If you believe that the U.S. has no choice but to rely on foreign oil until we ultimately run out of the precious resource, prepare to be challenged by new views that "have the opportunity to help give birth to a new generation of oil politics and economics."




WND Books´ newest release, "Black Gold Stranglehold: The Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil," by Jerome R. Corsi and Craig R. Smith, explores and debunks some of the popular myths surrounding the international and domestic politics of oil production and consumption to provide Americans with beneficial information while being held in a virtual stranglehold at the gas-pumps.


In "Black Gold Stranglehold," Corsi and Smith expose the fraudulent science and irresponsible politics that have been sold to American people in order to enslave them. By debunking several myths, Corsi and Smith provide an outline for progress that would help to establish America as energy-independent.

Be prepared to be challenged by:


The myth of fossil fuels: Corsi and Smith argue that the deep abiotic theory of oil is a more reliable theory than the fossil fuel theory. It rejects the contention that oil was formed from the remains of plant and animal life that died millions of years ago. Instead, they believe in Thomas Gold´s argument that oil is abiotic: "a primordial material that the earth forms and exudes on a continual basis" and is "pushed upward toward the earth´s surface by the intense pressures of the earth´s core and the influence of the centrifugal force that the earth exerted upon the specific gravity of oil as a fluid substance."

The running-out-of-oil myth: The 1970s scientific study known as Hubbert´s Peak, predicting we would exhaust oil reserves by 2003, has been proven false. We are currently sitting on "more proven petroleum reserves than ever before despite the increasing rate at which we are consuming petroleum products. New and gigantic oil fields are being discovered at an increasing rate, in places the fossil fuel theory would never have been predicted as possible.

The global warming hoax and other environmental myths: Corsi and Smith present compelling evidence that "burning fossil fuels does not release into the air chlorofluorocarbons or halon compounds, the types of chemicals identified as the culprits causing holes in the ozone." Instead, "human beings breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide" while "plants absorb carbon dioxide and throw out oxygen."

The folly of oil conservation: "Black Gold Stranglehold" presents and documents how no alternative energy option has been able to provide enough energy and how each alternative has been deemed uneconomical.

Oil playing a part in the illegal-immigration problem: Mexico has the third largest proven reservoirs of crude oil in the Western Hemisphere behind Venezuela and the U.S. As a result, the United States imports virtually all the oil Mexico exports. Consequently, "the U.S. government finds it difficult to take a systematic, hard look at the nearly free flow of illegal immigrants coming across our southern border. As a hedge against instability in the Middle East, the U.S. government has to calculate our oil needs when considering any steps we take regarding Mexico or illegal immigrants.

The value of the dollar and its effect on terrorism: "In recent years the buying power of the dollar has decreased 40 percent on the average against all major foreign currencies. Since dollars can no longer be exchanged for gold, no hard, fixed commodity stands behind the U.S. international payments, including oil purchases. Osama bin Laden´s "war against America was fueled by his belief that the U.S. has stolen the oil of Muslim countries. At the core of the issue is bin Laden´s perception that America has paid for oil, a hard commodity, with paper dollars that are no longer backed as they once were by the hard commodity of gold."

How high the price of oil?: "Today, the U.S. oil industry is sitting on a quantity of oil reserves that has never been higher. Still, we have built no new refineries, and the refineries in operation are producing at or near capacity. The picture that emerges is one of industry conglomerates simply sitting on large reserves and waiting for oil prices to go even higher. At some point, increased gasoline prices become an inevitable drag on the economy."

Terrorism and Its Threat to Oil: Terrorists are "willing to bet that the U.S. will not be able to afford politically or economically a protracted global war against radical Islamic terrorism. Terrorists, like governments determined to impose price controls on oil, act to disrupt free markets. In doing so, they clearly understand the economic harm they can inflict."

Corsi and Smith believe that America can and will become energy independent if some steps are taken to correct the aforementioned problems. In addition, they not only meticulously lay out the problems facing American oil interests, but have developed a seven-step action toward U.S. Oil Independence by:

Promoting scientific research to investigate alternative theories.


Expediting leases offshore and in Alaska to encourage oil exploration.

Providing tax credits for deep-drilling oil exploration.

Creating an oil research institute to serve as a clearinghouse of oil industry information.

Developing a public broadcasting television series devoted to the oil industry.

Reestablishing a gold-backed international trade dollar.

Establishing tax incentives for opening new refineries in the U.S.
In the end, "Black Gold Stranglehold" not only provides solutions, but it will empower consumers and oil industry professionals to drastically change the debate about oil. This book is sure to cause thoughtful people to reconsider the U.S. dependence on foreign oil and its effects on our economy.

If wishing could make it so, it would be great, wouldn´t it FROG!

I like your optimism, but I can´t share in all of it.

I do, however, have faith and happiness in an outcome that will fix the major problems of the world today...

But basically, this place is like a frat house the morning after a huge party right now.

We have to kick the drunk guys sleeping on the couch out. And make whoever threw up in the plant go clean it up.

Peace.
David.

I read it.

Anyways. For all the bad there is at least as many good things going on. It´s a matter of where you focus your attention. Ever since I´ve read GLP, it´s full of crazy people and attention whores. This is a circus. I wouldn´t put much weight into most responses. The way this forum is organized makes it difficult since there´s no way to filter or score messages to weed out crap from your view.

It´s just another byte of information that circles the digital vortex for a fleeting moment destined to soon disappear from view as the binary impulses are flushed down the drain to be lost forever from the mainpage view into the singularity of the GLPkashic bitbucket.

´Make love not war.´ Where have i heard that before?

For the new day...

Awww aint that just sweet ...everything is ok ....ok nothing to see here move along. LOL...yea right. There is more hate and more mistrust in the world today than ever before in human history.

No,no,no, you´re wrong, Dr. Strange. Everything is happy fun time! The man in the box says so, so it must be true. Unemployment is down, the economy is great, we´re winning the war on terror? Get the idea?

You are happy... you are very happy... we liked it much better than Cats....

Wierd, dinosaurs lived like 65 million years ago. And a lot of them died in oil and tar pits. Which were also supposed to have taken millions of years to form ...
