Colo...Thanks for this look at south of the border. Colombia's past president wrote a book which opened my eyes to the infiltration of the USSR's ideology into the intelligentsia of the region and to the violent drug cartels that threaten everyone. They are still suffering from the socialism, aka corruption by elites, and hopefully they are using the new information age to come to grips with economics. It was in studying writings by Latin Americans that I began to look at our own history from their viewpoint. The ideology of 'Manifest Destiny' is the culprit in destroying faith in the US. However, that is ancient history and it's time everyone start thinking about today. Chile is the model everyone should follow.<br /><br />When the Fed cut interest rates to zero back in 07, my 40lk tanked. When a relative wanted to sell her ownership in minerals/land in the Permian Basin, I cashed in the 401k and purchased her interest. That began my interest in hydrocarbons. That led to Thomas Gold, after geologists discovered more oil and gas under the Permian than had ever been extracted.....His books explain the abiotic oil theory and its evidence that hydrocarbons are not due to fossils, but are replenished from the earth's mantle. He was laughed at but when the USSR folded, one thing that was discovered was that Russian geologists had applied that theory in their search for new sources...Now NASA has discovered hydrocarbons on distant planets, which is debunking the ancient idea that fossils are the source. It's exciting to live in this world where information is so readily available for the curious. I just finished the new book "The Colder War" which is an analysis of Putin's plans to dominate world energy resources, rather than using guns. He sees the dominance of the enviros in Europe and the US and already is taking advantage of the situation. I searched on 'abiotic oil' on google and found that it was actually reported in some of the press last year. Since the US has an abundance of recoverable resources, and it appears to be renewable energy, our enviros appear to be today's real terrorists......It will take time but eventually the truth always prevails....Hopefully that will begin in less than 2 years...curiousonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571300262367870998noreply@blogger.com
