This would be really good if you showed real data like the annual production vs. known reserves or something. There is plenty of data to make your point, which I think is a good one.
Greg Palast, journalist for the BBC,
has uncovered the State Dept plans for
the Iraqi oil fields. They were cowritten by major
oil company executives.
According to the documents, the plans for the oil fields are
not to control them to make oil CHEAP. They are to control them and turn off the flow. That would make the price of oil skyrocket, further increasing the record profits oil companies are experiencing due to the high price of oil.
His book, “Armed Madhouse” contain the documents.
This link, a speech Palast gives in NYC 2007 with RFK Jr., states the facts – 15 minutes in where he talks about the documents and speaking to the oil executive writers directly.
