I must have read about a hundred articles like this over the last week from Jo and other wonderful environmental activists. They are doing great work exposing the GWPF.

But there is a need for more articles about how oil money is being used to promote groups like them. Not until every news channel covers this story every day will the public understand how the oil companies promote and publicise deniers groups like the GWPF. Everyone should know that the GWPF is publicised by oil money. We have to tell everybody about the GWPF.

Good for you to keep writing of the lies being used to set Iran up for attack.

The powers that be think we all will get bored if they proceed slowly enough, and they may be right about most people. They have been playing this game for a long time and so know how to defuse opposition , either by lies or in this case the boredom and self-absorption of the majority of the affluent western populations.

You seem a believer in the “Peak Oil” theory. I am agnostic on the issue though I do note that most markets are rigged and don’t see any reason to exclude the oil market. By rigged, I mean as most markets , most pots of money just sitting there will attract the scammers of this world. Pretty normal when one thinks about it, that professionals will run markets for their own benefit. I don’t know of any remedy that isn’t worse than the disease thoughBTW.
I am only saying the above as we don’t( protestations of the Peak Oilers notwithstanding) really know how much oil is really out there with any real certainty. I would suggest that as the oil market is a/ vitally important to individual producer countries as well as the world as a whole and b/ involves enormous amounts of money, that it is in the market participant’s interests to make it as opaque as possible. If there were perceived to be plentiful oil out there, it would undermine the “scarcity mentality” of the consumers and lead to consumer resistance of high prices instead of acceptance as we do now for the most part.
If anything, the US would like to deny resources to their rivals, the Chinese. And the Chinese are a big buyer of Iranian oil. And even worse, the Iranians are willing to do business in currencies other than USD. That is the a core reason for attack(one of many). Saddam Hussein made the same mistake, as well as Gaddhafi, selling oil for non US currencies.

It’s always about the money.

Just read this

1997
Iranian President Mohammad Khatami,
called Israel an
“illegal state and a “parasite,”

The Iranian Chief of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps,
“The IRGC”
Mohammad Ali Jafari
said “Israel was within the reach of Iranian missiles”.
IRGC is listed by the U.S. Government as a terrorist organization.
With many ties to an assassination campaigns in the
1980s and early 1990s with paid mercenaries from many countries
that targeted many opponents, and rigged elections.

December 2000
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei he has called Israel many things even went as far as to say it is a
“cancerous tumor” that should be removed from the region.
“Act Of War” against Israel.

JULY 2008
Iran’s foreign minister, Manouchehr Mottaki said “that Israel was
not capable of an attack”.

JULY 2008
Ahmadinejad…..he said, “The Iranian nation never recognized Israel
and will never ever recognize it.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei he stated, “It is incorrect, irrational,
pointless and nonsense to say that we are friends of Israeli people…
we are on a collision course with the occupiers of Palestine and the
occupiers are the Zionist regime. This is the position of our regime,
our revolution and our people.”

February 7, 2010, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said
“the destruction of Israel was assured” According to the daily newspaper Teheran Times.
Another “Act Of War” against Israel.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s chief of staff, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei,
said “that if Israel attacked Iran it would be destroyed within a week”

Iranian Funding of the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah
A mural in Tehran, Iran. The mural depicts the emblem of Lebanon’s Hezbollah,
and quotes the founder of The Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini, saying:
“Israel must be destroyed.”
Another “Act Of War” against them.

Iran has been for years suppling weapons and political support to Hamas an
organization that is committed to the destruction of Israel by Jihad According
to Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian National Authority, “Hamas is funded
By Iran.
It has claimed it has been financed by peace loving donations, but the donations
they get are nothing at all like what it receives from Iran for its
Wicked Deeds and acts. All the Big Bankers of the World can see this.
Another “Act Of War” against Israel.

Iran is also suppling another enemy of Israel, the well know terrorist organization
Hezbollah with more then what you would call just a substantial amount of financial
support and weapons, explosives and training of how to use them and political,
diplomatic, and organizational aid while persuading Hezbollah to take wicked actions
against Israel. Hezbollah’s 1985 manifesto listed its four main goals as “Israel’s
final departure from Lebanon as a prelude to its final obliteration” According to
reports released in February 2010, Hezbollah has received $400 million dollars from
Iran. That the World knows about.
Another Clear “Act Of War” against Israel.

October 11, 2011 the CIA AND THE FBI Of tha United States Of America stoped a
terrorist plot by the Iranian Government Leaders that included (bombing the Israeli
“as well as Saudi”
Embassies in Washington, DC and Buenos Aires).
All Nations involved do claim this as
An “Act Of War” against them.

Can you carry a Bible in Iran with out them trying to kill you.
Devil at war with God.

Israel Will Strike Iran, British Intelligence is now saying.

The 43rd President George W. Bush’s National Security Adviser and Chief Foreign Policy Adviser Stephen Hadley is now Warning the world. That there clearly exists a very high risk to say the least that Iran and the United States very soon will most likely end up in a military conflict. As the deterioration of views and political relations between Iran and many other countries as Iran Leader acts more like a little kid. Making all the Middle East more unstable.

With growing reports out of Israel that an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities is likely, former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told Ron Kessler of Newsmax’s in an one on one interview that she has no doubts in her mind that Israel will take the necessary actions to stop Iran’s mullahs from making or getting Nuclear Weapons. Condoleezza Rice has a book, Called “No Higher Honor” A Memoir of My Years in Washington,” reveals her insights into the war against Al-Qaida, what really happened in Iraq, and the real rising threat of Iran.
From her work as the National Security Adviser with President George W. Bush in his first term before succeeding Colin Powell to become Secretary of State in his second term.

[ NOTE FROM JOABBESS.COM : METHYL HYDRATE IS USED AS AN ANTI-FREEZE AND SOLVENT AND IS ANOTHER NAME FOR METHANOL. I THINK THE COMMENTATOR MEANT TO TYPE "METHANE HYDRATES" ABOUT WHICH THERE HAS BEEN A RECENT BUZZ. OR MAYBE THE WRITER DID ACTUALLY MEAN METHANOL, IN WHICH CASE IT'S USEFUL TO NOTE THAT BIOMETHANOL COULD TURN OUT TO BE A USEFUL VEHICLE FUEL PRODUCT OF BIOREFINERY - EXCEEDINGLY USEFUL ONCE PEAK OIL REALLY BITES. ]

This is what I’ve been banging on about for some time now: Britain cannot, and will not, sustain our present profligate average lifestyle.

In fact, it’s much worse than that. There’s a real and apparently undodgeable threat now growing slowly but inexorably that we will be unable just to feed and supply with other absolute necessaries the huge overpopulation that Britain now houses – just.

Even if these spare essentials were available on world markets, how exactly is Britain to pay for them, at any price, let alone at the prices that will be standard as surpluses vanish worldwide?

There appears to be barely any awareness of this danger, outside a miniscule [sic] percentage of serious realists following the output of The Oil Drum, Post Carbon Institute, and similar uncompromising clear-seers; nor any will at all to look at things realistically, and to begin to think about practical responses, amongst the whole Brit populace; certainly not amongst the simply hopeless gic/City-serving [gangsters-in-charge] political class. The pocket-pols [politicians-in-the-pockets-of-private-enterprise] seem to have no other idea at all beyond side-kicking for US imperialism, and seem quite unable to grasp that that huge global murder and extortion racket is now in its twilight.

I often feel comforted these days that I have connections in the west of Eire [Ireland], and thus have the possibility of me and mine decamping to relatives there, if things get bad enough here. As they well might. Eire could feed itself from its own resources, assuming rapid and intelligent adoption of permacultural and forest-permacultural approaches; Britain couldn’t, though, even then.

I also don’t get why Government bonds are good but FITs bad. Both involve people with money handing it over for good works and receiving a return at some point down the line. The anti FITs brigade are either disingenuous or focussed on completely the wrong target – bonds and PFI are massively bigger.

We must come to a new, widely shared and consensually validated understanding about a single biological question: In the relationship between food and human population numbers which one is the dependent variable and which is the independent variable? Outdated, inadequately researched ‘scientific’ evidence has been broadcast ubiquitously during my lifetime. All that pseudoscientific research indicates that food is the dependent variable and human population numbers is the independent variable; that human beings grow food to meet the needs of a growing population. Perhaps this commonplace and conventional understanding of the relationship is upside down. Please consider that food is the independent variable and human population numbers is the dependent variable; that the recent, astonishing increase in the food supply for human consumption is causing the skyrocketing growth of absolute global human populations numbers on our watch.
