you can read this article here at the CFR site.

the author, Michael Levi, is the David M. Rubenstein Senior Fellow for Energy and the Environment at the CFR, and his artticle is a mixture of disinformation, bad metaphors, and haywire logic.

his argument, although it's kinda hard to pin down, seems to be: party on, dudes, and dont worry about oil.

my comments, which are languishing, and most likey will die, in "awaiting moderation" limbo, go like this...

"oh, man…

does this mean that the PNAC/AEI/exxon people didnt have to do 9/11 in response to peak oil?

3000 american lives, countless lives elsewhere… wasted, because nobody saw shale oil coming.

what a tragedy."

and...

"here’s a map PNAC’s efforts in response to their misperceptions of peak oil.

this article is being discussed at theoildrum, despite attempts to derail it to a discussion of newt's moonbase scheme.

yup, they gotta blow smoke in case people start connecting the dots... good thing to blow a little smoke back at them, once in a while...

but i got to admit i'm suruprised that the CFR, as of right now, posted that first comment i made...

not the map, though... that's getting a little too close to home.

If it wasn't for us being over in the ME in the fist place, due to the oil, israel would be screwed. They'd have been pushed into the Med to drown like the rats they are, years ago. They have to keep us involved. Small wonder that kikes write things like this. BTW, I am only going off your interpretation of the article. I didn't read it. I didn't have to.

We are not in the Middle East due to the oil. The oil is purely secondary and is important only in that excessive oil production lowers the profit margins of the major oil companies, and provides the income for Arab countries to modernize.

No, the reason we are in the Middle East is to prevent Arab countries from modernizing. Pooooooooooooooor little Israel quakes in their boots at the mere though of an educated and organized Arab world. That is the reason Iraq and Libya were taken down as well as the current assaults on Syria and Iran (the Israeli destruction of Lebanese infrastructure is another). Israel sees its geopolitical and regional dominance at its height by keeping their neighbors mired in the 11th century of Muslim Fundamentalism. Iraq and Libya had a couple of things in common: They were pluralistic and granted full rights to women, and they were rapidly modernizing and spending their oil money on building up infrastructure and human capital i.e., education. Notice in post war Iraq and present day Iran the murder of intellectuals and the well educated - particularly scientists and engineers.

And the most important point tying them together is that none of them had/have a ROTHSCHILD CONTROLLED Central Bank. Even worse Ghadaffi was working to create an African monetary union which would have disempowered Rothschild control through much of Africa.

Trying to spin this as about "Oil" when oil is abundant and readily available is flat bullshit - it is misdirection and blowing smoke up people's asses. It is a classic disinformation technique - spin the available evidence toward a "plausible" but false alternative.

Twenty-Five Ways To Suppress Truth: The Rules of Disinformation

15. Fit the facts to alternate conclusions. This requires creative thinking unless the crime was planned with contingency conclusions in place.

Example: 'The cargo door failed on Flight 800 and caused a catastrophic breakup which ruptured the fuel tank and caused it to explode.'

Proper response: The best definitive example of avoiding issues by this technique is, perhaps, Arlan Specter's Magic Bullet from the Warren Report. This was eloquently defeated in court but media blindly accepted it without challenge. Thus rewarded, disinformationalists do not shrink from its application, even though today, thanks in part to the movie, JFK, most Americans do now understand it was fabricated nonsense. Thus the defense which works best may actually be to cite the Magic Bullet. 'You are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Your imaginative twisting of facts rivals that of Arlan Specter's Magic Bullet in the Warren Report. We all know why the impossible magic bullet was invented. You invent a cargo door problem when there has been not one shred of evidence from the crash investigation to support it, and in fact, actual photos of the cargo door hinges and locks disprove you. Why do you refuse to address the issues by use of such disinformation tactics (rule 15 - fit facts to an alternate conclusion)?'

20. False evidence. Whenever possible, introduce new facts or clues designed and manufactured to conflict with opponent presentations -- as useful tools to neutralize sensitive issues or impede resolution. This works best when the crime was designed with contingencies for the purpose, and the facts cannot be easily separated from the fabrications.

Some of these loudmouth assholes are in so far over their heads it's laughable. Well done. That's 99th percentile in accuracy and delivery. Some Big Lies are tough to let go of, like - oil is a fossil fuel - LOL. Even my children said, Dad how deep do they have to drill for oil? Did the dinosaurs really live in Center Earth? And on, and on. LOL It was a good kids movie though.

Hee, hee. Dinosaur Oil ranks right up there with the Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, and Santa the Surf.

It amuses me greatly to see the various shills still trying to sell the line that Oil and Gas are the remnants of Dinosaur farts or whatever. There is no shortage of oil as there is more than enough supply to last several centuries even at increased rates of consumption. The only oil shortages are contrived shortages to jack up the price. One of the bigger giveaways was when the majors bought up all of the independent refining capacity, refused to build new refineries to meet the increased demand, and Geeeeeee Duhbya's maladminstration would NOT grant permits for the building of new independent refineries that would have increased supply and decreased the pump price on gas.

As well is all of the suppressed technology for energy production. You'll see something pop up in the nooze every now and then and then it just disappears down the memory hole as though it never existed, and inventors have "accidents" or suddenly increased bank accounts and tight lips.
