If cheap oil was infinite and "super easy to get at", then the USA would not have overthrown Saddam Hussein, stolen Syria's oil, overthrown the Libyan government and so on. In fact dwindling resources are why the USA started a shit-show in Ukraine. It was to weaken and breakup Russia so they could get their oil. Why is this a fact? Because US Senator Lindsey Graham admitted there are trillions of dollars worth of Russian oil they want.

There's a big, big difference between running out of oil and having oil that powers an economy. If we still had massive amounts of oil, then we would not be wasting our time with Shale, Tar Sands and Off-Shore drilling.

Individuals who think oil grows on trees need to understand that it is the "cheap oil" which powers and grows the economy and not just oil. When oil becomes harder to get at, it costs more to extract. When it costs more to extract, the price goes up. When the price goes up, it is passed onto the consumer. When it is passed onto the consumer, the consumer cuts back on other things that grow an economy. When the consumer begins to cutback on purchases because it went towards buying fuel, it takes it away from the economy and the economy begins to go in reverse.

When the economy goes in reverse, demand for oil drops and the price for it on the market drops. When it drops the producers have lower profits vs their investments and have less incentives to extract it.

That's where we are today. We are now at the point where oil is priced too low for the energy producers and too high for the average consumer. That's where finite resources comes into play. You can continue to kick the can down the road but then you risk collapsing your economy, such as Germany, France and other EU nations.

tl;dr We live in a finite world.

You could not be more mistaken, I’m afraid. The reason we overthrow places like Iraq, Syria and Libya has ZERO to do with annexing their natural resources and EVERYTHING to do with a certain middle eastern country that seeks to secure its existence in all the wrong ways. And Ukraine? That is simply DC’s personal grift machine, be it for biowarfare research or simply Russian Oligarch HQ South. You see cheap oil is indeed abundant, but neither politicians nor Defense Contractors make any money when it’s just about extracting cheap oil, much like Big Pharma makes no money from generic drugs. It’s literally the same business model, just different sectors. Politicians only get rich when Corporations need something they gatekeep. And what do politician’s gatekeep? The military, the FDA/CDC/NIH, etc. You starting to get the picture? Listen, if scarcity didn’t exist, then using fear to corral the masses would be much more difficult; therefore the official narratives ALWAYS lean heavily on scarcity - remember that.

Either you are related to Jonathan from Canada or you are one and the same. People like you are too fucking stupid to understand how the world works. How do I know you're stupid? Because former CIA Intel personnel like Larry Johnson, Ray McGovern. Phil Giraldi say the USA takes people's shit for their resources and oil is on the top of that list. That's how Empires work. Regime changes is all about plundering and taking other countries stuff

How do you suppose governments fund their entitlements? It's done by selling their oil on the open market. They also make money every time you fill up your car. You get taxed on that fuel. That's why it's more valuable to sell your oil than to use it.

Follow the money throughout history. Read a book whose archived version I recommend because the 4th edition was all i could find no matter hard I researched for a 1st or 2nd edition. The 4th edition is whitewashed of all references to Jews in the history of Rome, etc. Book title: The History of Central Banking and the Enslavement of Mankind by Stephen Mittford Goodson. https://ia801703.us.archive.org/26/items/a-history-of-central-banking-and-the-enslavement-of-mankind-pdfdrive/

israel is SUPPORTED by USA. not the REVERSE. if NO big population, they all DIE.

If it is abundant, then you can make infinite products. money is BEFORE THE CART. YOU GET A HIGHER STANDARD OF LIVING FROM MORE ENERGY AVAILABILITY BY DRILLING DEEPER INTO THE CORE TO GET HIGHER DENSITY MINERALS TO GET BIGGER HOUSES, BATTERIES AND STUFF NOT THE REVERSE YOU FUCKING MORON. CREATING THREE TRILLION DIGITS AND CHANGING THE TITLE/NAME DOES NOT MAKE YOU DISSIPATE OR USE MORE RESOURCES. GO FUCK YOURSELF AND KILL YOURSELF

when you SELL oil, you get cheap SLAVE LABOUR products that DISSIPATE energy. HENCE CURRENCY manipulation. IF USA DIDNT EXPORT THEIR INFLATION YOU WOULD LIVE 1/10TH OF STANDARD OF LIVING RETARD. this RETARD WORSHIPS IOUS, NOT THE MINERALS THAT BUILT HIS FUCKING HOUSE, NOT THE DISEAL THAT POWERS THE GENERATORS BUT THE FUCKING BITCOIN DIGITS, HOLY FUCK THIS PERSON IS AN ACTUAL RETARD.

Look at history. Who are the nations attacked? Those nations that wish to or even. create their own national banking systems, Germany, which brought back their country from the devastation of WWI in six short years, placed Hitler as man of the year on Time Magazine. To destroy such a denier and resistance to IMF, Rothschild banking system and so successful in fear of others following him, Germany as a whole had to be totally destroyed lest others follow Hitler's. example of a national banking system. Related is Libiya and using gold dinars instead. The western cabals of banking systems that so hurt nations that say NO, their leaders get couped, assassinated, deposed. All you have to do is look at history in the context of money and wealth control. It's all there. Little do people know, whether taught in public or private ivy league schools, that five US presidents were assassinated for trying to escape the private banking of the Federal Reserve with their high interests rates from which they fund all these wars, for supporting a national banking system like Hitler, which everyone hates because you were taught to hate. So why don't you hate Israel performing the same, that Hitler is accused of doing in the 1940s? Genocide was not okay then; why is genocide okay now amongst the West who led the war against Germany? There is no doubt money and the more you have, dominates politics, foreign policy, etc. But cut off the head of the snake which is central banking, do like Bank of North Dakota does and bring the control of money home to the nations of the world. Don't keep placing your nations weath into the hands of people who misuse it and weaponizes it against your own people.

Correct me if I am wrong... but when the west pillages resources from say Congo... mining companies still have to dig into the ground to pillage them...

Obviously (to me at least) the reason we have to invade and steal resources from other countries... is because we've used up most of our own ... or there are resources that we never had... that we need... to allow us to continue to live large

This shows how stupid YOU really are. Governments are "not lazy and stupid". Actually they are much smarter than you think. In fact governments work overtime to make YOUR dumbass poorer, to steal your stuff via taxes. The work that governments do is far different than what you imagine, but you are too dumb to know that.

Governments are moochers, they rape and pillage other peoples stuff including countries. Once they have what they want they sell it off to the highest bidder, like BlackRock, Exxon-Mobil, British Petroleum. The stuff that the US Government wants from Ukraine, Syria and other places already has companies lined up to buy.

You think governments are doing shale, tar sands and off-shore drilling? They are not in business to do that. That is up to the energy companies whether it is worth it to pull out of the ground. If a barrel of oil cost them $79.75 to extract and it's selling for $80 on the open market, they may think twice about extracting it. That's not lazy, that's smart business, but you wouldn't know that from your clueless responses.

LETTER TO SCHEERPOST 12-24-25

"The crimes of which Kupreskic was accused were certainly serious. But, along with several other figures captured by the SAS in the late 1990s, they were less extensive than those currently leveled against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant." (From ScheerPost by Mark Curtis).

A prime example that if you are a "rich and powerful terrorist" backed by the USA of Israel, you get away with murdering innocent children, women, and men and yet are never labeled a terrorist, even though you are the world's foremost,  as history shows us, as a collective of terrorists who pretended to give a shit about genocide in WWII; (but then as now, it was about money and who controls those levers), don't give a shit about it now, and are never accused for what you are, never held responsible for millions of deaths under the pretense and fog of war;  never held accountable by some unholy nature no one gave you except for all your horrible crimes against ALL of humanity all the while plotting for ways to do more murdering and even when one of "us" not "you" dare to assassinate a single CEO from the "rich and powerful" class of your legion of terrorists, you throw the book of laws you never obey, at him and at a young woman, mother of three who dare vocalizes her frustration by repeating the CEO shooter's mantra of "deny, defend, depose" with the totally frustrated phrase following, "you are next." She doesn't even own a weapon, has no criminal background, and was simply a human being voicing her frustration with a corrupt health care system and now faces terrorist charges and 15 years in jail for voicing that frustration? Do you fugly people of the world think the rest of us will go silently into your created "good night?"

Who the CEO represents is a predatory system that extracts from our shared planet all it can while leaving behind and creating toxic food, air, water, soil, and when we get sick due to your extractions from our good earth, that leaves us to consume the toxins you leave for us to consume, then deny us care for the illnesses your practices caused us, you expect us to take it as normal behavior?

None, but I was first to contribute to UN relief aid immeditately after I learned USA was no longer contributing and another black mark on USA complicity in genocide. WWII was a fucking farce, hyped to be against German genocide when in reality it was extremely financial in nature. No country has yet been allowed to exist, their leaders assassinated when they refused world currencies and used their own, like Libiya going to gold as a standard. All Germany's hell was not about genocide, genocide was the cover. It was about a leader who brought his country, in six short years, out of the devastation of WWI and placed the man on the front page of Time Magazine as Man of the Year. So frightened the mostly owned Jewish Rothschild's banking empire that others would follow his lead that they focused on what would upset most normal people. If you cannot see a genocide in 1943 that was used to decimate a nation and now in 2023-24, a genocide now being supported by very same Western led factions that in 1943 said hell to the no, you don't have a very good thinking brain.

I think the issue is the assumption that it’s a zero sum world. The solution is not to take from some to give to others; the solution is integrity and honor. Rather than stealing the natural resources from places like DRC, is it so much to ask to simply be fair with them? We have “fair trade” coffee; why not fair trade rare earth minerals? Must the billionaires be multi-billionaires? Can’t we just be fair and honest? Would it really be that difficult to dig wells and teach irrigation in exchange for mining rights?

I disagree the entire world wants to be America with our poor health outcomes, adrenal fatigue and indebtedness. Many Americans no longer trust the products on our “well stocked grocery store shelves” - the majority of it is toxic and carcinogenic. Medical care??? Americans are waking up to the fact that we don’t have any such thing - we have symptom management - which symptoms are caused by the food we are offered for purchase at exorbitant prices, meanwhile our HOA’s restrict the raising of our own food on our overpriced and overtaxed “homesteads”. When did we agree that it makes sense to have a “homestead exemption” for a property we aren’t allow to use to grow our own food? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Sure, lots of starry eyed immigrants think “if only I could make it to America” all would be milk and honey…and then the lucky few who do get here realize the milk is void of nutrition and the only real thing about the honey is the marketing. It’s a sad delusion that starts to crumble when recent immigrants gain 30 pounds in their first year here and realize that shopping at WalMart and eating at McDonalds and Subway is just a fancy way of poisoning yourself slowly. I mean, it beats having your hands chopped off and your wife raped, but it’s not all it’s cracked up to be either. We all need to get back to simpler, saner lifestyles; and yes, we all need more compassion for one another - and more accountability for the corruption that keeps those in places like the Congo in such deplorable conditions; but let’s be honest with ourselves too; America needs reforming just as much as the Congo. We are being exploited, stolen from and poisoned as well - we just have more comfortable homes to temporarily live in while they do it.

Did it ever occur to you that because Singapore has no resources... the world powers have no reason to invade them... cuz there is nothing to steal.

Having no resources can be a blessing

Thrives stealing things doesn’t mean that there is a shortage of resources. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Yes of course resources are infinite... thanks for the heads up

You’re welcome. Canada has the worlds second largest oil reserves and we’re paying $1.60 a litre for diesel and the tax is going up another $0.20 in April. We are being taxed into poverty with zero benefit for the worlds poor. European countries need our natural gas and we have a surplus, but our idiot leader refuses to allow the permits to make this happen. The politics cause the shortages, not the lack of natural resources.

If resources are infinite, why are any wars fought over resources?

We can pack up our bases in the Middle East. No need to militarize the Arctic. No need for Lindsey Graham to fret over the "12 trillion in minerals" in Ukraine.

Your mindset is a throwback to a time when humans hadn't yet eaten through the existing natural resource stockpile. Now that we have, the consequences can no longer be ignored.

You’re a victim of a scarcity mindset meant to control you. As John Ramsey says above, the truth is more depressing; it’s not the resources that are lacking, it’s the greed of human beings - namely politicians - who only get rich when they can exploit something they gatekeep. See my comment above for why wars are actually fought today - absolutely nothing to do with natural resources and everything to do with greed and grift.

Oil, gold, and copper are past peak production. That's why the prices have exploded.

How? You can't start an industrial revolution without coal and abundant fresh water.

I've been watching the Ogallala collapsing now for over 30 years. Do you not get out much Jonathan?

Only because of fertiliser made from natural gas.

The reason we did not run out of food is because we used finite petro chemicals to allow us to grow a lot of food....

Let's examine how that is working out https://fasteddynz.substack.com/p/the-dumbest-species-ever

The same is true of oil, gold and most other commodities if there is a profit potential.

Expand full comment

There is no potential. If there is oil - and you do not either have an army -- or are invited to become a vassal state.... you get pillaged.

The entire Middle East has come to understand that

This is not the point ... the only way to lift the billions out of poverty is for you and me to be willing to accept smaller pieces of pie -- now get your ass down to HR and tell them you don't want a salary increase... and be sure to donate 20% of your income to UNICEF

Otherwise -- like I said -- shut the fuck up

Any idea why we steam oil out of sand... drills miles beneath the sea for oil... and drill tens of thousands of holes in shale formations drop in bombs to blow up and then suck up the dregs...

If oil is not scarce?

I deal in logic... if you cannot grasp any of this then this is the wrong place for you...

As you can see I do not give a fuck how many readers I have... in fact I do not want too many ... cuz that would mean I have lost my edge

I continue to subscribe because I enjoy your writing, and you clearly have a passion for human beings and their natural born rights; but I have never agreed with your basic premise of scarcity, it’s simply incorrect - but no one’s perfect, right? Once your compassion is combined with the truth of unlimited resources and your talent for expression and persuasion, you will become a formidable agent for accountability, creativity and change.

I will continue to watch your evolution with anticipation.

Courageous essay. Patrice Lumumba was y to he first elected leader DRC was murdered 17th January 1961, 4 days before JFK became President, and that was no coincidence. The CIA were given orders by Eisenhower to dispose of him, and they never told HFK in two months later. CIA protected western interests and had operation in DRC that Edward Hooper in his book “The River” details. Long before Wuhan the US had laboratories in DRC doing exactly the same thing.

Fuck Lumumba... he was getting too close with the enemy ... thinking they'd let him keep the Katanga resources (hahaha... idiot)...

We need those resources therefore he had to go...

Our way of life is non negotiable... and powered by cheap stolen resources

On another subject, just want to say, concerning the following website, Jews are known to take opposite side when their practices are exposed. I doubt Jewish women, who've been persecuted within their own communities, even know such shit exits. https://www.frontnieuws.com/politie-redt-200-kinderen-uit-joodse-pedofielenkring/
