MAGICAL MYSTICAL NEVER ENDING OIL


As a further sign that western civilization is swirling faster down the drain, the quality over at NPR radio is suffering. How hard is it to put out a decent product when the federal government is throwing money at you? Unless you are the post office, and then it is excusable since so much of the top executives are forced to beg for the difference between profit and expense rather than figuring out ways to raise prices like their private company counterparts do. After you take away Lear Jet time, three hour matinee lunches, golf course time and doing a work around to make escort services tax deductible, there are only a few hours left in the work shift. Post Office officials must go to Congressional meetings whereas the private company guys get to take time for mergers and layoff details. Anyway, NPR, despite having money thrown at it, seems to be getting worse at annoying me. I’m not a huge music fan, but when they keep yammering away at peasants suffering in Africa or inconsequential politics ( what is federal level politics other than the fight for a bigger piece of the spending pie, anyway? ) I am forced to change the channel. They did throw me a bone today and interest me with a story on Michigan or Minnesota or some other Yankee state passing a law where public sports teams could not use Native American names. Your state is broke, the pensioners don’t know it yet but unless Obammy picks up the slack they won’t be seeing anymore checks real soon, there is a very good chance that this winter they won’t be able to afford heating oil, but let’s all get distracted over this kind of meaningless PC BS. Sports fans are pretty macho and bombastic, substituting watching ritualized combat for actually doing something out of the easy chair, but I can’t imagine they are doing anything other than paying homage to a warrior ideal by naming their sports teams after Indians. This is a bad thing? Plus, these idiots had their lands stolen, their grandparents were involved in a genocide, they are living in little pockets of crappy land with no value, they have to kiss the white asses that wander into their casinos for some revenue, and the only thing you can get upset about is how insensitive the Caucasians are for being racist? The bastards tried to kill you! How about a little rage over that instead of this non-issue? I don’t know, maybe it’s a minority thing and I just don’t understand.

And speaking of all things Yankee and weird, Kuntsler was raging against slavery this week in his article. As I’ve said before, I love the guy for his wit and cheeky attitude against SUV worshippers, but I thought he was a lot smarter than me. Yet, here he is with the standard Northern propaganda ploy acting like Yankees never liked slavery and they send hundreds of thousands to die to end the barbaric practice. News flash, not one northern business owner cared at all about freeing the slaves. What they cared about was money and control. And the south didn’t care if they kept slaves or not, per se, but kept the practice going as it paid the bills. I understand the victor writes the history books. What upsets me is when otherwise intelligent people refuse to look at things logically. The truth doesn’t mean you are unpatriotic. You can love your country despite its warts. But lying to yourself means you approve of the same atrocities all over again. Isn’t it a beautiful thing when the subjects of the realm do all your work for you and trick themselves into believing Orwellian nonsense?

I started reading “JFK” by L Fletcher Prouty last night. I hadn’t expected much but it promises to be a very interesting, well written book. It got me thinking about the Powers That Be, as the opening of the book lays out how those in control planed the Cold War in advance. The military/industrial complex generated the big bucks until after Vietnam. Then the contrived oil crisis of the 70’s, then the paper finances debacle since then ( the book was written in the early 90’s, I believe ). Of course I don’t believe everything I read, although if it is well written and logical I still enjoy it. Another possible connecting dot. What I started wondering was, do the elites know the end is coming? Do they see it? If so, do they believe it is far enough away not to matter? Was the Bush ranch is South America indicative or false flag? Are they just naturally going from the highest profit business to the next, or are they following the course of declining energy ( abundant oil made military stockpiling and restocking profitable, the seventies saw a sell off of our manufacturing to overseas low wage countries, the eighties saw the start of financial manipulations, all working to profit with declining energy )? Of course I have no answers, but I thought it might be amusing to chart a fanciful course assuming those in power are one step ahead of us. You know I’m right if I have a sudden “accident” on my bicycle.

Let’s just assume that abiotic oil is a reality. It very well could be, and a feasible case could be made for it. Of course, as a loyal minion stated much more eloquently than I could manage, it doesn’t matter if the wells aren’t refilling fast enough. But, perhaps it does matter. Let’s say that the urban legend of all those capped wells is true. Not that they were capped because the flow was too low to pay the operating expenses, but that they were capped to allow the well to refill. Not to be used later to make a paper dollar profit, but to allow those in power to continue to have access to domestic energy after the collapse. What if they do realize that all those piles of paper currency are worthless compared to energy. Remember, it isn’t that Oil is the be all of the coming collapse, it is about having energy equal population. Oil is just the newest energy currency used by empire, whereas before it was excess crops. Of course, to make all this work, the other urban legend, that of planned population die-off, must then be true. Not that those in power must engineer a designer virus, or put too much effort into micro-managing the affair. They just keep on with Business As Usual. Use up all the oil as quick as possible ( the operating, not capped wells ), keep replacing real food with Frankenfoods ( which, in my opinion, is what is killing the bees ), let the infrastructures collapse. The excess population kills itself off as the energy declines. Then, after profiting immensely ( one assumes trading in paper for tangibles, such as artificially keeping gold prices down to stock up cheaply- the rich are notoriously frugal ), they go back to controlling a much reduced population. Which requires a much lower level of oil use. The citizens are farm serfs rather than pampered, energy guzzling consumers that need to be bought off with welfare. In relative terms, the elite still live in luxury, and they nicely survive the collapse they helped engineer in the quest for vast wealth.

I might be full of crap, but it is a nice “what-if”. An entertaining strategic planning wargame, if you will.
