The death of cheap, abundant crude, the forecasters warn, might unleash war and plunge the world into a second Great Depression. <BR/><BR/>That's not the prophecy of some apocalyptic cult. Kadijk, a hedge fund adviser, had flown from Amsterdam to attend a conference on a geologic theory known as peak oil. <BR/><BR/>Proponents of this controversial idea say global oil production is now at or near its zenith. Once the flow crests and starts to decline -- and some geologists say it already has -- oil will no longer be able to slake the world's growing thirst for energy. The result will be the oil shock to end all oil shocks. The price of a barrel of crude will spiral to $200 -- and keep rising. To the peaksters, today's energy crunch is nothing next to the pain that will follow. <BR/><BR/>``Peak oil is a reality,'' says Kadijk, a senior equity salesman at Kepler Equities, an Amsterdam-based brokerage. He plans to start a fund to capitalize on what he sees as a looming crisis for the world's fossil fuel-based economy and the ultimate bull market in oil. <BR/><BR/>As energy prices soar and violence convulses the Middle East, the peak-oil movement -- an unlikely alliance of geologists, physicists, oil industry consultants and environmental activists -- is winning converts. Peak-oil ideas are bubbling up from scientific journals and offbeat Web sites, much the way warnings of global warming did a decade ago. For the first time, the peaksters have begun to grab the attention of Washington and Wall Street.Roccmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13941353492023923157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1157079224822938252006-09-01T03:53:00.000+01:002006-09-01T03:53:00.000+01:00mi - thank you for defining yourself as a racist f...mi - thank you for defining yourself as a racist for me... always nice to who i am dealing with.Roccmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13941353492023923157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1157078952614244002006-09-01T03:49:00.000+01:002006-09-01T03:49:00.000+01:00Wait a minute, you mean to tell me theres OIL in t...Wait a minute, you mean to tell me theres OIL in the ME and western companies are involved in it's extraction and distribution?

"And with expectations of high world prices, more hedge funds are increasingly paying attention to this market." The interest of investment funds in grains is growing and helping to push up prices. The Deutsche Bank Fund now allocates 22.5 percent of its investment funds to wheat and corn trading.<BR/><BR/>"Wheat prices are firm now and could still go higher," said Antonio Moraza, president of Pilmico Foods Corporation, a Philippines-based flour milling firm.<BR/><BR/>U.S. spring wheat has risen more than 15 percent to above $200 a tonne from last year on concerns about supply.<BR/><BR/>The United States had one of the hottest summers since the Dust Bowl years of the 1930s.

"France secretly enlisted the help of Israel," writes James Bamford in Body of Secrets: Anatomy of the Ultra-Secret National Security Agency from the Cold War Through the Dawn of a New Century. Mr.Bamford was Washington Investigative Producer for ABC's World News Tonight with Peter Jennings, and has written investigative cover stories for the New York Times Magazine, the Washington Post Magazine, and the Los Angeles Times Magazine. <BR/><BR/>"The intrigue involved Israel launching a war against Egypt," writes Mr. Bamford. Then, once Egypt began defending itself, England and France would go in as 'peacekeepers. ' As part of the 'peace,' the canal would be taken from Egypt and kept by Britain and France. Israel would capture the Sinai from Egypt." The plan was agreed to by Israeli prime minister David Ben-Gurion, defense minister Shimon Peres, and armed forces chief Moshe Dayan, and Britain's prime minister, Anthony Eden."Roccmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13941353492023923157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1157073613909061362006-09-01T02:20:00.000+01:002006-09-01T02:20:00.000+01:00China holds trillions of USD and MUST spend it, he...China holds trillions of USD and MUST spend it, hence interest rates are going down again perhaps all the way to 0% this time.<BR/><BR/>This bubble is just a baby bubble of the real bubble to come.
