Geologists Find 90 Billion New Barrels of Oil in Arctic

This Discovery confirms what Lindsey Williams has been saying in his speeches, how the American Empire wanted to keep this a secret so they can make oil appear as a scarce resource and profit from oil producing countries, and middle east wars.

No longer are countries bound to the will power of the American Empire which is Exxon, Shell, Halliburton, Mobile, other US Oil companies and American Government.

Peak oil is now renamed abundant oil, and many countries may stake its claim and sell oil using currency other than the Dollar.

With the Arctic becoming ‘the new Houston’ (Independent) some pundits are predicting the end of the ‘peak oil’ crisis. They are, as it happens, wrong. If oil is peaking, 90 billion barrels here or there doesn't make a great deal of difference -- a few years worth, eked out over a few decades.

that first post makes no sense

America as a hegemony is limited by oil scarcity and lack of renewables. those of you who hate America should be worried that they found oil, not happy. that takes the focus off the energy crisis and allows our federal government to divert funds in other things instead, like bombs and sht

btw there's supposedly enough oil underneath Alaska to supply the US for 12 years but nobody wants to drill because it'll destroy the environment

Why does everyone believe in conspiracy theories? And why would the supposed discovery of 90 billion barrels of oil end the American Empire? It would only fuel it.

Yup, exactly! Irony is lost upon them.

The overwhelming vast majority of the members of this forum are young. People are suspectible to conspiracy theories when their personal lives lack control, what psychologists call an external locus of control. They need SOMEONE in control of their life, even if someone sinister. The teenage years are generally when people have the greatest dissonance and least control over their life; financially, occupationally, educationally, and socially. Further, the teenage years are when young people are transitioning from believing everything (which is a biological hard-wired impulse, as Richard Dawkins is fond of surmising) to just beginning to think critically and practicing skepticism; but, simultaneously, their cognitive filters are inexperienced and so they have difficulty filtering out bad ideas. (However, nonsensical beliefs tend to rebound after middle age. As Oscar Wilde pointed out, "The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything.")

There are a few other high risk groups for conspiracy theories, but that is beyond the scope of this discussion.

Just as a side note, last year I briefly had a roommate who believed every conspiracy theory. The guy was in his thirties, he was just getting off a five year suspension from a second DUI, and his life was a mess. He was amicable enough of a guy, but his beliefs about the moon landing being a hoax and modern life being reversed engineered from aliens, didn't surprise me.
