More and more I really am beginning to fundamentally believe my fluid position early on and that this effort is and was about oil and in that respect it has been EXTREMELY successful. The reason I say this is due to the evidence we now see:
The oil ministries and oil fields being extremely protected during this ongoing war while soldiers did without appropriate body armor
The ongoing drumbeat of war with Iran now to seize their strategic resources. Even though our own intelligence estimates say they are at least 10 years away from a bomb it seems we are stuck in a negative feedback loop with them where all roads lead to war.
The amazing record profits by Exxon and other oil conglomerates during this conflict.
The interesting situation whereby CNOOC (the Chinese government) placed a bid for Chevron that was immediately pounced on by our government and others. I think this example over most shows how these oil conglomerates seem to be more valuable than almost any amount of money or, sadly, blood?
I do not mean to say I have it all figured out, but I think there are a lot of things happening in the background right now in regards to this increasingly scarce resource of oil and perhaps what we really are struggling against right now is not fundamentalist Islam or the Russians or anything like that, but rather we are trying to have the means to slow down China and the far east rise?
My thinking, as you know, is that man’s dominion in general will be increasingly challenged by mother nature herself. We are ants struggling for hills as the colony languishes.
