Black Gold Stranglehold: The Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil
By Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D. and Craig R. Smith
Experts estimate that Americans consume more than 25 percent
of the
world's oil but have control over less than 3 percent of its proven oil
supply. This unbalanced pattern of consumption makes it possible for
foreign governments, corrupt political leaders, terrorist
organizations, and oil conglomerates to hold the economy and the
citizens of the United States in a virtual stranglehold. There is no
greater proof of this than the direct relationship between skyrocketing
gas prices and the explosion of wealth among those who control the
world's supply of oil.
In "Black Gold Stranglehold," Jerome Corsi and Craig Smith
expose the fraudulent science that has made America so vulnerable: the
belief that oil is a fossil fuel and that it is a finite resource. This
book reveals the conclusions reached by Dr. Thomas Gold, a professor at
Cornell University, in his seminal book "The Deep Hot Biosphere: The
Myth of Fossil Fuels" (Copernicus Books, 1998) and accepted by many in
the scientific community that oil is not a product of fossils and
prehistoric forests but rather the bio-product of a continuing
biochemical reaction below the earth's surface that is brought to
attainable depths by the centrifugal forces of the earth's rotation.
Jerome Corsi explores the international and domestic politics
of oil production and consumption, including the wealth and power of
major oil conglomerates, the manipulation of world economies by
oil-producing nations and rogue terrorist regimes, and the
shortsightedness of those who endorse expensive conservation efforts
while rejecting the use of the oil reserves currently controlled by the
U.S. government.
As an expert in tangible assets, Craig Smith provides an
understanding of the history of America's dangerous dissociation of the
dollar with precious—and truly scarce—metals such as gold and the
devastation that would be inflicted on the U.S. economy if Middle
Eastern countries are able to follow through with current plans to make
the euro the standard currency for oil instead of U.S. dollars.
"Black Gold Stranglehold" is a thoughtful work that is
certain
to dramatically change the debate on oil consumption, oil dependence,
and oil availability.
