THE LEFT IS THANATOS - IEA LIES, WORLD ABOUT TO RUN OUT OF OIL

From The Guardian:

The world is much closer to running out of oil than official estimates admit, according to a whistleblower at the International Energy Agency who claims it has been deliberately underplaying a looming shortage for fear of triggering panic buying.

The senior official claims the US has played an influential role in encouraging the watchdog to underplay the rate of decline from existing oil fields while overplaying the chances of finding new reserves.

The allegations raise serious questions about the accuracy of the organisation's latest World Energy Outlook on oil demand and supply to be published tomorrow – which is used by the British and many other governments to help guide their wider energy and climate change policies.

In particular they question the prediction in the last World Economic Outlook, believed to be repeated again this year, that oil production can be raised from its current level of 83m barrels a day to 105m barrels. External critics have frequently argued that this cannot be substantiated by firm evidence and say the world has already passed its peak in oil production.

Now the "peak oil" theory is gaining support at the heart of the global energy establishment. "The IEA in 2005 was predicting oil supplies could rise as high as 120m barrels a day by 2030 although it was forced to reduce this gradually to 116m and then 105m last year," said the IEA source, who was unwilling to be identified for fear of reprisals inside the industry. "The 120m figure always was nonsense but even today's number is much higher than can be justified and the IEA knows this.

But, the truth is, the United States has five times more oil than Saudi Arabia,

and we keep finding more all the time,

and this is because oil is a naturally-occurring substance produced by the Earth.


Why do leftists love to spin Peak Oil fantasies? Probably because Green is the new Red. Probably because if they can convince us that oil is an energy resource limited in supply and dangerous to our environment, they can then intimidate us into believing that we can not continue to expand our economies, we can not continue to grow, and we can not continue to produce human beings.

Ultimately, it all comes down to the Individual. The Left is at war with the Individual, and that is manifested in the fact that the Left wants less Individual human beings on Earth. Hence all these Armageddon-fantasies about the limitations of the Earth to supply human beings with what they need.

As Reagan said, “There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect.”

Whatever we believe, we can achieve. We can solve any problem that comes our way. That is the optimism of the Right. History has born out that lesson.

But, for Leftists, the fantasy of History they spin is one of lack: Lack of resources, lack of money, and ultimately, lack of Individuality.

We must all share, because there is a lack. We must collectivize our resources, because there is a lack. We must have fewer babies, because there is a lack.

We must Euthanize the old and infirm, because there is a lack.

The Left is mesmerized by fantasies of lack. The Left is mesmerized by Death and destruction.

The Left is hypnotized by Thanatos:

The Greek poet Hesiod established in his Theogony that Thánatos is a son of Nyx (Night) and Erebos (Darkness) and twin of Hypnos (Sleep).

"And there the children of dark Night have their dwellings, Sleep and Death, awful gods. The glowing Sun never looks upon them with his beams, neither as he goes up into heaven, nor as he comes down from heaven. And the former of them roams peacefully over the earth and the sea's broad back and is kindly to men; but the other has a heart of iron, and his spirit within him is pitiless as bronze: whomsoever of men he has once seized he holds fast: and he is hateful even to the deathless gods." ^[1]

Homer also confirmed Hypnos and Thanatos as twin brothers in his epic poem, the Iliad, where they were charged by Zeus via Apollo with the swift delivery of the slain hero Sarpedon to his homeland of Lykia.

"Then (Apollon) gave him (Sarpedon) into the charge of swift messengers to carry him, of Hypnos and Thanatos, who are twin brothers, and these two presently laid him down within the rich countryside of broad Lycia." ^[2]

Counted among Thanatos' siblings were other negative personifications such as Geras (Old Age), Oizys (Suffering), Moros (Doom), Apate (Deception), Momos (Blame), Eris (Strife), Nemesis (Retribution) and even the Acherousian/Stygian boatman Kharon. He was loosely associated with the three Moirai (for Hesiod, also daughters of Night), particularly Atropos, who was a goddess of death in her own right.
