[Gasification] Corrupt government, conspiracy, new world order, no future.

[gfwhell at aol.com]

I thought it only appropriate to add this:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/85956/Russia-Proves-Peak-Oil-is-a-Misleading-Zionist-Scam. Which suggests that oil is the main world currency, which would be greatly devalued by a glut. Hence the removal of Iraq as an oil producer, together with, ?maintaining the capping of many U.S. wells while the price of oil has rises 1,000%. It does not take a Quantum Mechanic to realise there is sculduggery afoot.
They did it with diamonds why not oil?
