“Big Brother” may end up being very, very small

[Adele Edisen]

I generally like Prouty, but he is not a geologist. And even on subjects related to his background, he sometimes makes claims that are not supported by the evidence. He claims that the motorcade route in Dallas should have been completely locked down with every window closed and every rooftop watched. However, there are numerous photos and videos of motorcades before Dallas (both JFK and Eisenhower) that show the same conditions as in the Dallas motorcade.

I agree that Prouty is no geologist and neither am I. But he knows how some like the game played and was part of some aspects of that game too. And it is the monopolisation and manipulation of a so called scarce resource that interests me. It is still an interesting article. I still need to know more about abiotic oil and look forward to reading some of Adele's linked articles.

We live on a finite world, and most of the resources on it are limited or at least impractical for humans to reach. Rare earth metals and minerals used in high technology are a good example. If they are renewed, it is in geological time, not human time.

I recommend reading these skeptical articles as well:

We shouldn't believe in a conspiracy because we like how it sounds, or because it fits with our ideology, but because the evidence supports it. A good example is Webster Tarpley, who I like on political/historical subjects, but he's basically a cornucopian on economics and resource issues because it fits his political world view. History shows that Nature will not conform itself to accommodate our ideologies.

Tracy,

Scientists can't give much credence to Richard Heinberg, a journalist and speaker, and associate of Immanual Velikovsky, author of "Worlds in Collision". Velikovsky was a psychiatrist who studied the mythologies and folk lores of various peoples and drew certain concluusions not verified from them. The second reference you gave was not convincing either. What is needed if the work of Kenney and his Russian colleagues and others is to really be challenged is scientific factual evidence.
