Oil, smoke and mirrors

Oil, smoke and mirrors

Is the “war on terror” is a fraudulent construct of manufactured lies?  An ideological superstructure designed to remake the world by force abroad, and oppression at home, in the context of the looming energy crisis?

Through a series of impressively sober and admirably unsensationalist interviews, this film clearly and concisely explains our critical dependence on oil, the effects of the imminent decline of it’s cheap availability, and why the media and political classes have steadfastly refused to deal with this issue in any open or meaningful way.

It also points to some of the startling anomalies in the official narrative of the 9/11 Commission Report, to the dubious nature of Al Qaeda, and to the draconian measures which have since been instituted in western democracies worldwide since 2001, as more to do with securing energy resources and quashing dissent,  that any notion of countering an Islamic threat.

While the gravity of the subjects discussed may seem daunting, the message is one of contingent hope that we can meet these challenges, but first we must have the courage face them.
