Which comes first, oil or war?

Now and then, if you take a popular advertising or PR slogan and turn it backwards, you get something more interesting.

Remember GE's “Progress is our most important product”? Try “Product is our most important progress.”

The government wants us to believe that alternatives to oil are extremely difficult to come by (except for nuke reactors that can melt down on any given Tuesday).

Presidents will always pay lip service to gaining independence from foreign oil.

But this is all backwards propaganda. The truth runs more like this: “We want to fight wars and control land and kill people and blow up whatever we can. We need a reason to do that. So, when we talk to influential corporate types and insiders, we focus on energy. We say we have to keep the oil flowing, that's why we go in there and destabilize countries and set up new puppets and kill, kill, kill.”

What? Energy isn't the real reason?

No it isn't. The real reason is lunatics want to kill people and control land.

Here's how you make energy. You turn a wheel. Call it a turbine. Set up the wheel in conjunction with magnetic fields, and you can produce energy. Electricity.

Those huge dams? Those nuke plants? They end up turning wheels. Water, steam. They spin the wheel.

Well, there is this thing called the ocean. You may have heard of it. And then there are smaller narrower versions called rivers.

The water moves. It flows. It's strong. Put small turbines in rivers and larger ones in coastal inlets, where the ocean tide varies from quite high to low---and you can turn the wheel.

It's not that perplexing.

If you want to get fancy, you can build plants offshore and split water into hydrogen and oxygen and use the hydrogen for energy.

Here's where the domeheads enter the scene and exclaim this is all about “cost-effectiveness.”

No it isn't.

If you need to, check out the history of government subsidies and loopholes that exist for people who make oil in the ground into energy, and nuke plants hum.

Do you think these industries survive on pure free-market capitalism? Kidding? They're supported. All sorts of deals shore up their back-end.

So, on a far, far lesser scale, some ocean/river turbines and hydrogen from sea water might need a subsidy boost, but compared to oil and nukes, we're talking pennies on the dollar.

Energy independence has been there for us, for a long time, but that isn't the point. The military industrial complex doesn't want it. They want to fight wars, and they need a reason they can give to “people in the know”: oil.

It's all backwards.

The propaganda is enormous. It includes numerous psyops designed to make the public believe in energy shortages, as well as “necessary wars.”

These people and their allies are inventing, day by day, a reality that implies the need for war.

To understand war, start with the psychology of the men who make it happen.

“Okay, boys, all of us in this room here are on the same page. We can let down our guard. We know we love to kill and maim and bomb and enslave and take over land. That's what we live for. So we need to ID some valuable thing we say is very, very scarce, without which life as we know it wouldn't exist. Get it? And we tell Presidents and legislators and heavy hitters we have to go to war to safeguard this very scarce thing and make sure we can still obtain it. Ha-ha. And for our purposes, the thing is ENERGY. Right? We do whatever it takes to make everybody believe energy is scarce and hard to come by and limited and so on, and war is okay because we fight to make sure we have access to energy. It's all backwards...but who cares?”

WE NEED TO FIGHT WARS TO SECURE ENERGY SOURCES is really WE NEED ENERGY TO FIGHT WARS BECAUSE WE WANT TO FIGHT WARS.
