Oil, Smoke and Mirrors – Full Length Doco

Posted by Matt Beer - September 5, 2011 - Energy, Geo-politics

I’ll be honest and say I didn’t particularly like this doco and I did skip through it a bit. It tries to make the case that the US invasion of Iraq was all for the control of oil and 9/11 was the manufactured excuse. September 11 theories is a whole other ball game that I am not too interested in. Yes there are some legitimate questions unanswered, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the government planned the whole thing. I would want substantial proof and all this doco delivers is here-say. Not what I would call proper journalism even if all the content was true.

Not that it didn’t give the US government a good excuse to invade Iraq. If you look at the history, the West has been fiddling around with the Middle Eastern people for a long time and this will only continue. No doubting oil at the centre of it all.

I put this up as the first 20 or so mins does have some decent monologues of peak oil, tar sands (57:20 in) and OPEC reserve (1:33:00 in). Just for reference.
