Product Details


Product Description

Product Description

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 R. 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Black Truths, Golden LIes, Jan 30 2007
By David Brennan (Brampton, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A bit of a tough read in places. The authors like to make and remake a point several times, and occasionally they get carried away. The book also needs some serious editing - sometimes numbers quoted on one page get switched around on a later page. Nevertheless, none of this detracts from the truths or the theory offered, any more than an opionion is invalidated because of a spelling error. The point is, global warming is the biggest scam of the last two centuries, and yet it continues. People are willing to believe anything they read in a newspaper, or see on a TV show, even if there are no facts to support the claims. And that is the real truth here, folks. In spite of everything you may have read, there is not one single piece of clear empirical data that proves or even suggests that global warming is a reality. In fact, the opposite is true. It is sheer arrogance on the part of environmentalist for them to suggest that the human race could, in just a few hundred years, completely disrupt the evolution of a planet that has been around for billions of years, most of which have been marked by cataclysmic events like ice-ages, virtually unending volcanic activity, earthquakes - you name it. Oil consumption doesn't do a thing to hurt our climate and in fact, may even help us in many regards - like feeding trees with carbon dioxide, for instance. We haven't begun to use our oil yet, and the sooner we start ignoring the people who throw out all kinds of wild theories and untruths, the better off we'll be. Isn't it amazing that a trained weatherman can't tell you with even a 50% reliability factor what the weather is going to be next week, but environmentalists can tell us with absolute certainty what is going to happen in ten years? Why do they throw these hare-brained theories around? Because of the money. Environmental research is a major growth industry funded by huge piles of government money. Do you think somebody is going to get a huge grant to prove a suspicion of theirs, only to come back to their cash-cow to say, gee, sorry about that, but we couldn't find anythying wrong? Not a chance. Excellent book, and I hope there are more where it came from.
