Several Reasons Why it isn't about Oil

By Curt Maynard

The war in Iraq, and America's so-called Imperialistic ventures in the
Mid East have nothing to do with oil.

How do you know that you might be asking?

Without delving into some very credible "conspiracy theories," which
tend to cause the eyes of "enlightened" Americans to glaze over in
their own unique self-righteous stupor, let me relate some facts
below, that should, assuming the reader has the ability to think
properly as my friend in Rome Alfio Faro, likes to say, convince even
the skeptic that Bush's recent forays into the Middle East have
nothing to do with the monopolization of oil reserves. I won't leave
the reader hanging, after relating these facts I'll spell out in one
word exactly why Bush is occupying Iraq and Afghanistan and why he
intends to attack Iran and Syria as well.[1]

The Third World nation of South Africa produces a barrel of oil from
coal for under $35.00 a barrel.[2] The United States of America has
some of the largest coal reserves in the world.[3] These coal reserves
are of a far higher quality than that used by South Africa, the sulfur
content is much less, and thus, American coal can be converted to oil
cheaper than can South African coal.

You may have heard about Canada's Oil Sands, but what you may not have
heard is that within these sands Canada harbors nearly as much oil as
Saudi Arabia.[4] Granted, it costs much more money to extract this oil
from the sand than it does for Saudi Arabia to open its spigots, but
at current oil prices, $76.00 a barrel, it is both feasible and
profitable to begin mass production.[5]

What the reader, especially the American reader, is almost certainly
unaware of is that the United States of America has even more oil than
Saudi Arabia or Canada locked away in strata of shale under the Rocky
Mountains.[6] Costs to extract this oil are considerably higher than
extracting it from sand, but bear in mind, at current prices, it too
can be extracted profitably with technology that already exists. Not
to mention the fact that its extraction, assuming that illegal aliens
aren't invited en masse to fill openings, will create hundreds of
thousands of jobs for Americans, not service related jobs, but real
employment with real salaries and benefits.

Methane Hydrate - methane hydrate is essentially frozen methane gas.
Methane gas burns cleaner than any other energy source known, if
combustion is complete; there is no appreciable pollutant created from
its use. In any case, methane hydrate exists in reserves so large that
they dwarf all of the oil and coal reserves combined, the world over,
from the dawn of time; it lies under the oceans and has already been
extracted by the industrious Japanese. Its extraction at present is
too costly to be profitable, but like anything else, costs decline
over time and/or as the result of new technology.[7]

If the United States government were truly interested in marshaling
oil sources around the world, would it not be doing everything within
its power to mollify relations with the countries that possess the
oil? Instead Bush is doing everything he can to alienate the
populations of oil producing nations, and doesn't seem to be in the
least bit concerned about the consequences of such foreign policy
folly.

Above I promised that after relating some facts I'd spell out in one
word exactly why Bush is occupying Iraq and Afghanistan and why he
intends to attack Iran and Syria as well. Dear reader, the reason in
one word is "Israel." Why Bush pursues his insane adventures in the
Mid East for the Zionist state is not exactly known, some think he is
a Christian fundamentalist, with a "dual covenant" eschatological
outlook, this writer seriously doubts this premise, Bush's words may
exemplify Christian value and virtue, but his actual behavior
demonstrably prove that his words are empty and are meant only to
maintain a relatively powerful base, that of the Christian voting
block.[8]

There are others that believe Bush may be compromised in some way and
may be under the influence of those blackmailing him; those who would
and could reveal to the world some dark secret hiding in the closet of
the Commander and Chief. I suppose it's possible, I personally don't
believe that former President Clinton just happened to meet up with a
young ZJewess named Monica Lewinsky, who just happened to save a sample
of the President's sperm discharged on her dress after administering
fellatio. Call me a conspiracy theorist if you like, but I'll bet it
wasn't a happy accident.

[1] Syria itself has no appreciable oil reserves and thus its
demonization by Israel and the media should act as a wake up call for
those that are convinced that Bush's Mid East policies exclude
everything but the acquisition of additional oil reserves.

[5] Don't fool yourself, the price of oil will never again fall below
$50.00 a barrel - once consumers have accepted paying $3.00 a gallon
for gas, oil companies and governments will maintain it there.

[8] Many of these so-called Christian fundamentalists however are
anything but supportive of Israel; the predominantly ZJewish media in
the United States exploits its media monopoly to keep this idea before
the American viewing public, this idea that all Christian
fundamentalists are pro-Zionist/pro-Israel. They do this to rein in
the hesitant, after all if "all," Christian fundamentalists support
Israel, it must be an order ordained by Jesus himself, thus many
blindly fall into this category, but maintain privately, their healthy
skepticism of the Jewish state. Many contemporary Christians have
forgotten that for 2000 years Christian doctrine embraced the view
that Jews and Christians could not, nor should live together, that
Jews were determined to subvert and defile Christianity and that they
would do so forever. In effect by turning their back on 2000 years of
Christian doctrine, these folks believe that they are somehow more
enlightened than their predecessors. They embrace this view despite
the emergence of our modern secular society, despite the millions of
abortions in the United States annually, despite the fact that "gay
marriage," is almost certainly to become a reality in this country,
despite the fact that "hate crimes," legislation, if the ZJewish ADL
gets its way, would make it unlawful for a Christian to condemn
homosexuality and the goals of aberrant feminism, despite the fact
that non-Christian ZJews dominate our modern culture via the power of
the media in all its forms, despite the fact that Jesus has become
nothing more than a piece of "art," to be urinated on, amidst the
applause of our enlightened and "reformed," secular elite, who appear
in droves to demand that the American taxpayer [Christians included]
continue to be forced to pay for the display of such garbage under the
illusion that somehow it qualifies as "art." No, our society is not as
enlightened as we'd like to think, we are fools determined to live
with our delusional thoughts and ideas - most of which have been
carefully instilled in us by way of the media.
