IRAQ AN OIL WAR

Carlyle Group who I believe is really behind all of this.
Bin Laden Family with Osama's role as 'the enemy' that we just can't seem to catch.
Dick Cheney - He held the secret energy meetings immediately after taking office. Judicial watch obtained a lot of the documentation from those meetings through court order. They included maps of the Iraqi oil fields. Cheney and the people in these meetings were deciding which companies would get which leases on Iraqi oil fields.
Paul Wolfowitz - Deputy Secretary of Defense. Along with Cheney, he was a member of PNAC. "We need another Pearl Harbor".
When I was watching the hearings on the first $87 billion dollar supplemental for the war effort in Iraq, it was pretty clear that the lives of our soldiers were being held hostage in order to force the Congress to fund the reconstruction effort. It is also pretty clear that there was advance knowledge of 9-11 and complicity by senior military and government officials. All the wish lists were ready to go and nobody seemed too interested in finding out exactly what failed, who failed and why they failed. Obvious now.... they already knew the answers to those questions, they were in phase III of the plan for the coup d'etat of the United States.
Phase I - Steal the election in Florida 2000. Implement computerized voting systems (HAVA) so that elections can forever be controlled and the winners selected in advance by New Rulers.
Phase II - September 11th
Phase III - Perpetual war in Iraq, destroy our reserves and national guard troops, bankrupt the U.S. Treasury, cripple the U.S. economy, flood our country with foreign invaders and break down the rule of law. Implement a police state with computerized systems for monitoring and tracking citizens (aka terrorists to these people).
Phase IV - Rewrite the Constitution - they are working on this now by making it seem as if it needs so many amendments that it is just an obsolete document.

Before you get too worried, rest assured that the US government has been aware of Peak Oil since at least 1977 and has been actively planning for this crisis for over 30 years.
Three decades of careful, plotting analysis has yielded a comprehensive, sophisticated, and multi-faceted plan in which military force will be used to secure and control the globe's energy resources. This plan is popularly - and not wholly inaccurately - known as "Go to War to Get Oil."
This strategy was publicly announced in April 2001, when a report commissioned by Dick Cheney was released. According to the report, entitled Strategic Energy Policy Challenges For The 21st Century, America is facing the biggest energy crisis in history and the solution to the crisis would require "a reassessment of the role of energy in American foreign policy."
That's a diplomatic way of saying were going to be fighting oil wars for a very long time.
James Woolsey, the former Director of the CIA, practically admitted as much at a recent conference on renewable energy:
I fear we're going to be at war for decades, not years . . . Ultimately we
will win it, but one major component of that war is oil.
The reason our leaders are telling us the "war on terror will last 40-50 years" is two fold:
1. All the countries accused of harboring terrorists - Iraq, Iran, Syria,
West Africa, Saudi Arabia - also happen to harbor large oil reserves.
2. Within 40-50 years, even these countries will see there oil reserves
almost entirely depleted. At that point, the "war on terror" will come
to an end.
Naturally, this type of large scale warfare will require a massive expansion of the military draft.
As one commentator recently pointed out, the reason our leaders are acting like desperados is because we have a desperate situation on our hands.
The strategy - as distasteful as it may be - is characterized by a Machiavellian logic. Given the thermodynamic deficiencies of the alternatives to oil, the complexity of a large scale switch to these new sources of energy, and the wrenching economic and social effects of a declining energy supply, you can see why our leaders view preemptive and large-scale warfare as the only viable way to deal with the coming crisis.
The fact that those who have vigorously opposed the war in Iraq are as unwilling to drastically lower their consumption of energy as those who have vigorously supported the war in Iraq underscores why the US government views oil wars as the only way for us to deal with this situation.
Think about it this way: do you really think people who read books by Michael Moore* consume drastically less energy than people who listen to radio broadcasts by Rush Limbaugh?
The fact that the legions of Michael Moore supporters probably consume as much energy as the legions of Rush Limbaugh "dittoheads" underscores why our government views going to war to get oil is seen as our only option: nobody in America, regardless of political persuasion, wants to deal with the reality of Peak Oil and nobody is willing to drastically cut their consumption or accept a lower standard of living.
(Note that, to his credit, Michael Moore is aware of this situation. Chapter three of his recent book, "Dude, Where's My Country?" was about the coming massive post-oil dieoff. Additionally, he has mentioned he is planning a movie about "the oil industry and lack of oil we are going to be faced with." He also used to have this site and various other Peak Oil sites linked up on MichaelMoore.com)
Unfortunately for those of us in the US, the plan is likely to fail in the long-run. America's rivals, unable to confront the US militarily, have now allied themselves in an attempt to destroy the US financially by disposing of their dollar reserves in favor of euros. We may have the world's most deadly cluster bombs, but the EU has the world's most valuable currency.
Is There Any Reason to
Remain Optimistic/Hopeful?
If what you really mean, "Is there any way technology or the market or brilliant scientists or comprehensive government programs are going to solve this for me?", the answer is no.
On the other hand, if what you really mean, "Is there any way I can still have a happy, fulfilling life in spite of some clearly grim facts?", the answer is yes, but it's going to require a lot of work, a lot of adjustments, and probably some good fortune on your part.
"What Can I do to Prepare?"
Two things:
Number 1: Convince your friends and family this really is happening;
Number 2: Get ready to fend for yourselves.
Good luck,
