Henry Kissinger recently spoke at the US-India Business Council and alluded to an emerging energy crisis based on declining oil and production. As the consummate internationalist, whenever Kissinger speaks, one had better pay attention!
On June 1, 2005, The Financial Times (UK) reported on a meeting of the US-India
Business Council at which Henry Kissinger addressed issues of declining global
energy resources. After checking several other publications that covered the
same event, this writer noticed that only FT covered Kissinger's energy comments:
{sidebar id=1}
"The great game is developing again," he (Kissinger) told a meeting
of the US-India Business Council. "The amount of energy is finite, up
to now in relation to demand, and competition for access to energy can become
the life and death for many societies. It would be ironic if the direction
of pipelines and locations become the modern equivalent of the colonial disputes
of the 19th century."
The "great game" refers to the conflict between the UK and Tsarist
Russia for supremacy in central Asia.
Kissinger's comment validates his understanding of and belief in the so-called
"peak oil", or Hubbert Peak theory. This theory states that oil and
gas production will soon reach a peak, and will then rapidly decline thereafter.
The logic behind the theory looks at the amount of known energy reserves and
the annualized discovery of new energy reserves.
Currently anticipated Peak Oil dates are 2007 for oil and 2010 for natural gas.
While understanding Peak Oil is simple enough, understanding the societal implications
is not. Kissinger alludes to "life and death for many societies."
Since most wars of history were fought over economic clashes, one can expect
increasing military conflict in the future, centered loosely or directly on
oil and gas resources. Those companies who control the production and allocation
of these increasingly scarce resources will be in a unique position to profit
from this crisis.
Crisis management is not a new concept in Trilateral/globalist ideology. In
the early 1970's, Kissinger and Brzezinski both wrote about taking advantage
of crises to steer the New International Economic Order in a direction favorable
to the global corporation. If there were not enough natural crises to provide
acceptable "steerage", then fomenting a real or perceived crisis could
have the same effect.
Who cares what Kissinger says or thinks?
Henry A. Kissinger is the consummate globalist. He was the chief architect
and driving force for the Nixon administration's normalizing relations with
Communist China. As founder and chairman of Kissinger and Associates, he has
been instrumental in coordinating massive foreign investment into China, Russia,
India and other countries around the world.
Kissinger is also one of the original members of the Trilateral Commission.
Some other current and former corporate memberships include Hollinger International
(Chicago Sun-Times), American Express, Continental Grain Company, Revlon, Inc.,
Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, Freeport, McMoran, Copper & Gold, Inc.
and Chase Manhattan Bank.
