Ghawar is Dead - Long Live PNAC 03-07-07 mpg Ghawar Is Dead! A quote...."Unfortunately, Ghawar is not the only oil royal in critical condition. - The obituaries just keep rolling in. “Kuwaiti oil production from the world's second-largest field (Burgan) is ‘exhausted’ and falling after almost six decades of pumping” according to the chairman of the Kuwaiti state oil company. The L.A. times tells us that “Production at Cantarell, the world's second-largest oil complex, which provides about 60% of Mexico's crude, averaged 1.78 million barrels a day in 2006. That's a 13% drop from 2005.” The famous North Sea basin and it gigantic Forties Field, the oil find that made Britain a petroleum exporter for the past 20 years, is about to experience a precipitous production decline. Back in 2000 we learned that China’s only super-giant field, Da Qing was also at death’s door. These fields and others like them provided the mother’s milk, in the form of light sweet crude, which nourished the global capitalist system now enshrined and deified in American mass-culture. My OH My - Those Neocons are such prescient people! To have that 9/11 event fall right into their laps just as the oil was running out in Saudi Arabia and just as that darling little Texas tyke assumed office, allowing them good'ol boys to go invade a country which by some strange and totally inexplicable set of circumstances, just happened to have the second largest oil reserves in the world - of sweet crude no less! WOW!!! What do you think the chances of that happening are?? And guess what, unbelievable as it may sound, these good'ol boys actually work in the oil and gas business and not only that, they're practically life long bosom buddies of the Saudi Royals whose very own country contributed fifteen out of the nineteen hijackers on that fateful day. Fancy that! Can you believe it! Oh but hold on to your hats all you little darlings, it gets even better. These good'ol Texas boys even wrote a document in 1992 outlining their plans to seize the energy supplies of the Middle East and they even held various meetings BEFORE 9/11 on how they were going to share all of that lovely oil in Iraq amongst themselves. Isn't that soooooooo sweet!!! Aren’t these the most unselfish people you’ve ever read about? And then it happened like a sign from the great God of oil, the event called 9/11 an event which allowed these good'ol boys to carry out their divinely inspired plans of sharing amongst themselves the plentiful and fruitful bounty from Iraq, and if they get their druthers, all the other countries throughout the Middle East. Now don't you pay any mind to all those Monday morning quarter-backers - second guessing, carping and complaining about how our good'ol boys dropped the ball on 9/11. They’re just spiteful and jealous because they didn't have the foresight these great men had in carefully laying out their plans for an event like 9/11. Think about it this way, if these great men hadn't been in charge of our country on that day, if they hadn't been in control of the security procedures for this nation on 9/11, and 9/11 HADN'T happened, all their plans would have turned to dust and their great dream of complete dominion over the Middle East's oil resources would have become just another pipe dream. And then where would we be as a Nation? Think about it. end - mpg |
