Peak Oil – The Myth Of Scarcity

We all have very busy lives, and it’s hard to pay attention to economic issues. They are complicated and deal with numbers that the vast majority people have no concept of. What’s more is it is so boring listening to some guy drone on and on about interest rates or debt. What most of us don’t know or understand fully is the basics of supply and demand and how it effects our daily lives. Make no mistakes that elites understand this and use it regularly to extract more wealth from the average person, and do much much worse.

Lets start with a simple example, one that many people might know about, diamonds (sorry ladies, this might hurt a little). Diamonds are one of the most valuable gems there is, but why? Cause they are ultra rare and super hard to find of course, or are they? Is it possible that a little company named De Beers controls areas of land that are extremely rich and diamonds and they only produce a limited number of them, to keep supply down? Could they at the same time have a brilliant marketing campaign showing how the only way to prove your love is to buy a big diamond? The answer is yes to both. It is pretty well known that De Beers has an extremely large supply of diamonds that it keeps locked away, which makes these stones seem much more rare, and thus drives the price up. This is not a conspiracy theory this is well known fact, and why diamonds have never been able to be traded as a commodity. In fact diamonds are pretty much a scam, and the price is many many times higher than it should be. This does not they don't have value, they do, as long as people have faith that they have value.

This is the most obvious and well known example. But, there are more that have more wide spread implication and are much more destructive. Oil – black gold – a “fossil fuel”. The term fossil fuel was created as a marketing campaign along with the myth or peak oil to give the impression of scarcity and drive prices up. We have been over paying for oil for decades because this dinosaur juice is going to run out any day now. This is nonsense, and was a complete propaganda campaign funded by Rockefeller and Standard Oil, and it made him among the riches people to have ever lived. OPEC is another example of attempts to limit supply and drive prices up. The truth is we have no idea how much oil is out there, but it is much much higher than they will admit to. They have NO interest at all in telling us the truth.

Oil is not the only commodity that is manipulated like this (sorry gold bugs, its your turn). Gold was one of the original cons. A group of people that controlled large supplies of gold convinced rulers to use it as money, then they limited the supply to drive up the value of it so they could get more and more goods for their gold (they also used slave labor to mine it, so their cost on it was very low). They then took these goods and went to a foreign land and traded it for gold or silver (the would manipulate the ratio of these in different areas further driving their profits higher). This “merchant” class became the richest most powerful class in the world and taking control of governments by loaning them gold at interest that they would never be able to pay back, and were forced to give these merchants real assets as collateral when they eventually lost. There is also evidence that this group encouraged wars (often funding both sides) ensuring that the monarchs ended up with huge debts.

So now we get to the truly sinister. Scarcity is used to manipulate people in to thinking that we are on the verge of overpopulating the world and driving ourselves to extinction (think climate change, the latest evolution of this con). This has had a detrimental impact on birth rates in the west as it scared generation after generation into having fewer offspring. This is an easy con to pull of as people see how crowded the city is and how bad traffic is, so we must be breeding too fast right? In fact people have no idea the size of the planet, and this fact is what they count on to make all these deceptions work. If you give every family of 4 over a full acre of land, how much of the worlds land would you use? Or is it even possible? Surely with 8 billion people there is not enough land for 4 people to have an acre each right? Would it shock you if you learned every family in the world could have more than an acre of land and fit inside the USA? This is the size of the planet.

We are being convinced by the elites that not only is everything we use super rare and hard to make, but that we will soon run out of resources and die off as a species. They have convinced us to stop reproducing in the west because of these myths, its time we wise up to their tricks and start to think for ourselves. It is crucial that we have a basic understanding of things like supply and demand so that those in power can not manipulate us into doing things that are self destructive or giving them our supply of time (money).

Thanks for reading :)
