The Oil Scam
Interesting talk here from Lindsay Williams:
It starts out a bit hokey and difficult to believe, but the speech gets better and he makes a number of important points overall.
... an excellent related article is here, by Ismael Hossein-Zadeh, on the relationship between oil prices and war-- and the driving factors

The realization that hydrocarbons are produced inorganically throughout our solar system was a key insight that led Cornell University astronomer Thomas Gold to write his 1998 book, "The Deep Hot Biosphere: The Myth of Fossil Fuels." Gold wrote:
"It would be surprising indeed if the earth had obtained its hydrocarbons only from a source that biology had taken"

well so much for the theory that petroleum comes from dinosaurs.
"peak oil" IS a scam.
of course if you notice this and apply that to today's political climate and media propaganda and even extrapolate further regarding likely motives of politico/media actions then you are considered to be some kind of "moon-bat" or something.
better to just bend over and suck it up, right, sword_of_*truth*?
The answer lies with those Wachowskis, and with the theory, mooted in the first "Matrix" film and clung to ever since, that all of us,
whether we know it or not, are squirming under the thumb of dark controlling forces (aka "PTB").
25 yrs ago I had a tiny Honda car and it delivered a good 35 mpg.
Now 25 yrs later I have a new Honda car...it weighs a full twice what my old Honda weighed and is lucky to achieve 28 mpg.
If the PTB were truly worried about an oil shortage then they would have promoted fuel efficient cars.
Since they have not I can only assume that there is no real oil shortage.
Peak Oil is a scam.
Kiss my ass PTB!

I think many of us have read that and similar anecdotes in car magazines.
The advances in automotive safety features are the main culprit for why cars today get lower mileage than some of those from yesteryear. All those features add unsprung weight to cars and more weight requires more power to move the vehicle and that means more gas.
You and your silly PTB stuff. "HELP - the paranoids are after me".
""The advances in automotive safety features are the main culprit for why cars today get lower mileage""
Safety, yeah right. The metal of today's cars is much thinner than those of 25 years ago - including my Hondas then and now.
Not only are cars not safer today, they break down more often and don't last as long either.
The fact is that technology has improved drastically in the last 25 years but fuel economy has not.
Hey, how about that Bush tax-break for buying a giant humvee?
Does that sound like the plan of those who are truly worried about "peak oil"?
"Not only are cars not safer today, they break down more often and don't last as long either."
Your assertions couldn't be more
wrong. Are you simply uninformed or are trying to imitate PTB thinking?
John McCain is going to need all of
the uneducated voters he can fool into voting for him. Are you registered to vote?
My '80 Honda achieved almost 500k miles with only cluth and brake replacements and survived 2 accidents before I sold it.
My new Honda has already needed a new transmission and would be squashed like a bug in an accident. Frankly, it is a piece of shit compared to the old one.
Supposed "economy" cars have been getting bigger and bigger in the last few years and auto manufacturers have the ability to make truly fuel efficient modern machines but they do not.
Why is that?
You and your silly PTB stuff.
Are you simply uninformed or are trying to imitate PTB thinking?
Hit the road contrary man.
""Not only are cars not safer today, they break down more often and don't last as long either."
Prove it. I assume you simply don't realize that merely citing your (alleged) experience with one car doesn't prove that carS
today break down more often and don't
last as long.
If I'm correct that you don't realize that you used the fallacy known as the fallacy of "hasty generalization" in trying to prove your assertion, you would be a more effective advocate if you learned
to reason logically. There are many good and easy-to-follow books
that will help you learn how to
think logically. One good one is
"Nonsense", by Robert J. Gupta.
You can probably pick up a copy of it on-line for a very modest price.
Just because no one here knows who you are, that shouldn't relieve you of the duty to avoid being thought
of as a poster who can't think or reason logically, much less make an effective case for what we all know is blather (right-wing talking points).
On the other hand, John McCain would prefer that you not learn how to think and reason.
Who is John McCain and what does he have to do with any of this?
What is your point here, King Contrary?
'Peak Oil' seems like the ultimate scam to me.
No one here knows who you are either, but kudos to you for trying to associate my 'peak oil is a scam' opinion with "right-wing talking points".
Hey maybe you should take advantage of the Bush tax cut for purchase of a giant Humvee!
Why am I here?
I'm with the Honesty Police and
you sound like you're flummoxed because you know you've been busted.
Newer car models are safer and cost less to maintain because they don't break down like sneaky peak oil's old Honda. How much do you think it cost
to keep that old clunker running?
I think the ultimate scam is the deeply ingrained fear of some people that they're being remotely
controlled from a military base on the dark side of the big but light, Moo Moon.
"Ah don't care if it's snow or rain,
Long as Ah got mah plastic McCain,
Sittin' on the dash of mah Humvee...
Ah kin go 'bout forty miles an hour
Long as Ah got Republican power
St. John McCain's the Lord for me!"
Wow-- now we have a shill here for the oil companies and car companies. Awesome. No doubt, big oil and big auto have nothing to do with the current pathetic state of fuel efficiency-- it's all the fault of stupid libruls and their lawyers who want safe cars.
You're partially right. You just left out the automobile insurance
industry.
None of the oil companies manufacture motor vehicles, but their business certainly affects the auto industry and makes it much more difficult for them to compete effectively.
The auto industry has a fairly long
cycle between a new concept car and
actual mass production of the
product to be sold to the public.
It isn't entirely clear what you are shilling for, but plainly, whatever it is would be better served if you did a little research
before spouting off the results of
paranoid dreams.
Seen any good Wachoski brothers flicks lately?

LOL check out king contrary as he insists on proof that cars are pieces of shit nowadays.
Just look around you king, you can start with the plastic-core radiators.
It cost mere peanuts to keep that "old clunker" running like a top.
Did "king contrary" even bother to listen to Williams' lecture (the point of the post)? A.P. also wrote an extended treatment posted above dealing with this issue as well. No one has factually challenged what he has written.
The whole point is that there are very deep conspiracy games being played with oil supplies and that we are being lied to big time by the controlling powers.
This has nothing to do with maintaining automobile safety. But great job at creating a distraction!
To get back on track, ("sorry" CIA/MI6 agent above), and further proving my points, is this "news" story.
http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/natural_resources/article3964957.ece
It says "Iraq now has the world's largest oil deposits."
Right on cue, just a few days after my article, and naturally the source is MI5/6, er I mean the "Times of London."
These BS stories will originate from London because this is where the control is. Who created the current Middle East Map, in the first half of the 20th Century? Whose agents have destroyed every attempt at Democracy in that area(and every other area on Earth)? Yes, MI6, and its lackey CIA.
I wrote that the PTB will go on lying that "Iraq, Iran and Saudi Arabia have the world's largest oil deposits" for the "Ultimate Truths" reasons in my article.
So we will continue to see these lies going back and forth about these 3 countries, bacause this is where the "Big One" will be started. When the truth is there is both far more oil in numerous places, including Alaska, and that the oil itself is an unneeded, antiquated energy source that the PTB want to keep Mankind limited to.

Your aggression is misplaced. It was your little buddy/twin who brought up the subject that has caused you such distress. But, nice attempt to shield him from his obvious ignorance
about the superiority of today's cars to those of yesteryear.
Well, I think this point still stands:
"If the PTB were truly worried about an oil shortage then they would have promoted fuel efficient cars. "
If there was a TRUE NEED for fuel economy, surely this could have been managed along with increases in safety.

Good news! It IS being "managed".
Hybrids, electric cars, fuel management systems that shut down unneeded engine cylinders, a bunch of new small cars, more diesel engine cars that are quieter and that burn cleaner, etc..
It's very hard to engineer higher fuel economy when consumers want
more things like ABS, AWD, Electronic Stability Control, cars that can park themselves, SUVs, Crossover Vehicles, cars that ride like expensive luxury vehicles, and
many other things that add weight
and require energy to power them.
You didn't apologize for wrongfully
accusing me, but I'm sure you have
issued a stern rebuke to the George
Costanza (I'm an "architect") of physicist wannabes.

LOL king contrary man!
Hardly anyone insists on AWD or ESC much less "cars that park themselves" or "expensive luxury vehicles".
What the regular consumers want is a safe ride that delivers excellent fuel economy.
Today's F250 is much smaller and lighter not to mention flimsier and therefore less safe than a '70's F250 but it barely exceeds the effiency of one from 30 years ago.
WTF Ford?
Nice try, Costanza physicist wannabe.
As your mentor, Sir Spook knows well,
today's cars are vastly superior to that old Honda you claim you owned.
If you want a modern car that gets decent mileage, there are plenty of options available. Where have you been - in a cave with Osama, reading
Muslim physics (comic) books?
