Forget everything you think you know about oil
'Black Gold Stranglehold' explodes common myths
If you believe that oil is a fossil fuel, be prepared to have your thoughts turned upside down.
If you believe that the U.S. has no choice but to rely on foreign oil until we ultimately run out of the precious resource, prepare to be challenged by new views that "have the opportunity to help give birth to a new generation of oil politics and economics."
"Black Gold Stranglehold: The Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil," by Jerome R. Corsi and Craig R. Smith, explores and debunks some of the popular myths surrounding the international and domestic politics of oil production and consumption to provide Americans with beneficial information while being held in a virtual stranglehold at the gas-pumps.
Be prepared to be challenged by:
The myth of fossil fuels: Corsi and Smith argue that the deep abiotic theory of oil is a more reliable theory than the fossil fuel theory. It rejects the contention that oil was formed from the remains of plant and animal life that died millions of years ago. Instead, they believe in Thomas Gold's argument that oil is abiotic: "a primordial material that the earth forms and exudes on a continual basis" and is "pushed upward toward the earth's surface by the intense pressures of the earth's core and the influence of the centrifugal force that the earth exerted upon the specific gravity of oil as a fluid substance."
The running-out-of-oil myth: The 1970s scientific study known as Hubbert's Peak, predicting we would exhaust oil reserves by 2003, has been proven false. We are currently sitting on "more proven petroleum reserves than ever before despite the increasing rate at which we are consuming petroleum products. New and gigantic oil fields are being discovered at an increasing rate, in places the fossil fuel theory would never have been predicted as possible.
The global warming hoax and other environmental myths: Corsi and Smith present compelling evidence that "burning fossil fuels does not release into the air chlorofluorocarbons or halon compounds, the types of chemicals identified as the culprits causing holes in the ozone." Instead, "human beings breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide" while "plants absorb carbon dioxide and throw out oxygen."

Damn right to the crap comment!
You're both really intelligent.
Russia developed the theory first, and because of it, they never were in fear of running out of Oil during the Cold War.
Since then, they have used the theory to expand to the worlds second larges crude producer.
Also, with the recent restarting of pumping in the Gulf from previously declared depleated fields indicates the that the theory is very valid and deserves respect and more research.
I never believed that it was possible to fool so many people until I began to read more and consider the politics behind capitalism and what it really means. In order to have more than everyone else some have to do without. Controlling artificially supply and demand by tricking people into believing there is scarcity is not a new idea. It's just a really effective way to imprison the minds and wallets of the average person.
There are interesting parallels between the politics of the world and the politics in Star Wars. Problem Reaction Solution anyone. Don't believe that our government will do anything to change the status quo. We have the either or fallacy working here. Both Democrat and Republican are in the same house working in tandem one will lie to your face and tell you they are for your view the other will tell you flat out they are not for your view. And you have no choice but to pick either or. Sickening and worse most people are taken in by believing their vote matters. How can we pretend to believe in "Democracy" or a "Republic" in which we really live and then break the basic tenets that form the foundation for that and go about claiming we're spreading the same thing around the world for the betterment of all. Election anyone? Then point the finger in other nations when they fix their elections and say we need to impose our views and belief system on them. It's astoundingly hypocritical. I guess the dumbing down of America and the rest of the world is working.
