Today, as I constantly update this blog, I find that there is an unmistakable reality coming to fruition. Within 2months 3 counties (Tunisia, Egypt and now, Bahrain) have either had their governments fall or are protesting now to have a change in their respective country. At first glance, we as Americans are excited by the prospect of a “Democratic Movement” in what is a dictatorship(s). But once you look closer, you find that there is some bigger issue going on here.
One fact is that all the said countries (many more in the Middle East are starting to protest) are either supported or created, by the USA via CIA or IMF movements to “Stabilize” the region. Second, it seems that all these “Friends” of the West, are being toppled because the fact that there is no way to feed their people and/or continue to support them financially. Wait a minute? Most of these countries are oil producing countries? Why can’t they support their people financially? This is because their source of GDP is collapsing.
In which, brings me to two other questions that may scare you and definitely scares me. 1. If we have reached peak oil, what will happen to the region? 2. If the first is true, then what will happen to the world economy?
Let see if the first question is true. I could spend a ton of lines on this subject alone, so instead, I will place hyperlinks to a you tuber named “Goat hollow” (http://preppingwithgoathollow.blogspot.com/ ) and his videos on peak oil.
Here are the links in question: Episodes 1-6 this should get you up to speed:
Now that you are up to speed, I will now go to the next part, what are the Powers That Be, (whoever THEY are) up to? I believe that those folks have seen what is coming months, if not years ago and are causing these “Revolutions” to distract from what is really going on; they’re getting out of the Middle East and are heading to a place where they can make the next profit center.
If you think I am nuts at this point, look at these main stream news articles then come back to my hypothesis:
So, for at least 4 years the banks, investors and the policy makers knew that there would be, as in the wikileaks, article, 40% drop from the official estimates of oil reserves in the Arabian peninsula. So, the fact that Arabs in the connecting states (Middle East) not having jobs, food and a evaporating middle class were not only on their radar, they were planning for the time that they,(Banker, Policy Makers, etc) would leave from the region.
This brings me to question two; these folks that have raped the resources in the Middle East, and made the area unstable to prevent a cohesive region in which the profits from the oil would benefit its people, are now “allowing” democracy to happen? Let me ask you a question, what is that regions second largest export? Answer: Nothing, nothing at all. For without oil revenue, you send that area back to before 1917. You might as well have sent them back to the dark ages. This is why “Democracy” is being grown in the region when before the US, and the British before us, would only allow harsh dictatorships and military Juntas. We can now also see why Iran wanted to start building Nuclear reactors. Not because of the Terrorist boogie man, or war with Israel; but because that country knew that its reserves would only last so long and needed an alternative to continue its society.
Excellent post. Also, we in the West have been playing a bit of a fools game in terms of accountability; We greatly rely on the estimates of these Middle Eastern countries to supply accurate figures in terms of how many bbl of oil they have left. Yet, they pad the numbers, allowing themselves to increase production beyond specified limits.
ReplyDeleteI've long thought the political and economic reality of today is a direct consequence of Peak Oil. Sadly, the west is not making any plans to soften the blow. Only individual action remains.
ReplyDeleteIn the new post editor there is a function key to put live links in your post.
ReplyDeleteHave a good one! Peace
I think as you do. This is a planed event that is taking place in the world today. On my personal truth quest, I have taken channels that I never thought possible or would have taken.
ReplyDeleteThe world is a ever changing place and we are living in a time during one of these changes. Prepare by purchasing food supplies, a safe water source, medical supplies, personal defense, alternative energy source, and a clear plan of action if we experience a black swan event from out sun. Peace
I'm thinking $6.50 for Diesel here in the US, will be the tipping point. This is the one indicator to watch with interest. Plan, prepare, think outside the box......... We'll get through this!!!
ReplyDeleteAn oil field as large as all those in Saudi Arabia lies off the coast of Brazil. There are many more to be discovered. Peak oil is an outdated line of thought based on previously known finds. Only commodity speculators and our capacity to refine holds us back. At least for next 100 yrs.
