Oily Truth: The west has no "Plan B"

Middle East at a crossroads

An extraordinary article published in Energy Bulletin above - it's about the state of oil supply and the devil is in the detail. Supplies from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia appear to be running out, Iraq supplies have been hi-jacked by the invasion and the global supply industry is ever more desparate to get its hands on Iran's resources.

There is also the suggestion that the well-planned current war in the Lebanon is fully intended to destroy that country's infrastructure with the intent of creating a massive debt and dependency burden for its subsequent rebuilding. Why? Israel is desparate for water supplies via both the Lebanon and Palestine, but the Amerikan Empire and its pawns (including huge Israeli corporate enterprises) are becoming urgently dependent on the oil pipeline scheduled to run from Iraq into Israel via both Syria and Lebanon.

If other oil sources are declining as quickly as indicated, taking over Iran as an extension to this pipeline is seem as an essential "lifeline" for energy-hungry nations. Whatever the cost! The problem is the west has no "Plan B". It's 21st Century Energy Wars have been calculated to precision, but the relience on technology and covert strategy has failed to take into account the gritty reality of ground activity and the old-fashioned manpower needed to achieve victory. Moreover, they believe their own propaganda, whereas others do not.

In WW3, the enemy is anyone who doesn't subscribe to the Amerikan Imperial Dream. To the distress of the perpetrators, the perception-lacking incompetence of their own actions is consolidating the forces of opposition. On their own doorstep in Latin America. Throughout the Middle East. And among fair-minded people worldwide.

Without a conscience, let alone a "Plan B", they have set in motion an architecture of conquest that is being fought on so many fronts that they increasingly look destined to lose. As Britain and other "rich" nations stumble towards the intent of self-sustainability, any real change in lifestyle and energy creation is preceived as a decades-long process. The energy wars are our very own "buffer zone" - played out on on an almost fictional timeline. There is no "safety net" and the rug of comfort is very likely about to be pulled out from under us.

Without energy, our consumer trinkets and diversions will be useless. Futhermore, the systems of human communication on which we now all rely could become redundent. Such a collapse, especially if it happened rapidly, would bring total chaos to the west. The winners would be those left worldwide who can depend on or trade their own resources. Sadly, that could also be a world of regressive doctrine, entirely new economics and a dark age of new opportunism.

Later.
