Enslaved by Oil and the Jewish Problem
By Rachel Neuwirth, World Jewish News Agency Columnist



The world has become critically dependent on fossil fuels. Prominent among those fuels is oil. This critical dependency is placing the entire world at great risk in at least three ways. Having failed earlier to take remedial action on energy independence we now find ourselves backed into a corner with few options and running out of time to fix the problem. We are drifting towards a global catastrophe because of long-standing government energy policy. Advanced energy technologies that could have liberated us from enslavement to fossil fuels, and to nuclear energy as well, have all been suppressed for decades. The primary blame falls on the usual suspects, namely the powerful global energy establishment plus their influential friends in government and in the major media. Part of the blame must also be assigned to the American Jewish establishment along with the radical Jewish left. They had every opportunity to meet their major moral obligation to investigate the suppression, to expose the media blackout and become public whistleblowers - and they failed. Understandably, some of these assertions may generate surprise and skepticism. This article will briefly outline the basis for these allegations.

Danger No. 1 - Large price increases in energy threaten the global economy:

The supply of oil and natural gas is experiencing difficulty in meeting demand and that is driving up energy prices. Global oil production, now at 83 million barrels per day, can barely meet rising demand - especially from America, India and China. The easy oil located near the surface has already been found and tapped. Finding new oil is becoming more difficult and is also deeper and hence more expensive to extract. "Petroleum geologists have known for 50 years that global oil production would "peak" [www.peakoil.org] and begin its inevitable decline within a decade of the year 2000. Moreover, no renewable energy systems have the potential to generate more than a fraction of the power now being generated by fossil fuels. In short, the transition to declining energy availability signals a transition in civilization [www.dieoff.com] as we know it." - The path we are on is leading towards a global economic convulsion with dire consequences for human society.

Danger No. 2 - Oil revenues help to fund terrorism: Our oil imports are actually funding both sides in the war on terror. Regimes such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Sudan, Venezuela and others are profiting greatly from high oil prices enabling them to fund terrorism, the spread of weapons of mass destruction and the teaching of radical Islamic doctrines.

Danger No. 3 - Global climate shift: During the past century the world has consumed about a trillion barrels of oil along with huge amounts of natural gas and coal. Burning these fossil fuels generates atmospheric carbon dioxide, the major greenhouse gas. It is now at historic highs and still rising in response to continued burning of fossil fuels. Environmentalists warn that climate shift is causing global warming along with floods and droughts plus storms of increasing frequencies and destructive power. Rising ocean temperatures are said to greatly intensify moderate hurricanes into becoming Hurricane Katrina's. Climate shift will also degrade growing conditions and endanger the global food supply of 6.3 billion people. Even in a peaceful world the ongoing climate shift alone would endanger civilization. Alternatives to fossil fuels: Massive dependency on fossil fuels has placed civilization in a dire predicament which is now becoming painfully evident. Some claim the solution lies with an array of familiar energy alternatives such as solar, wind, nuclear, hydrogen plus conservation and efficiency. There are also geothermal, ocean waves, hybrid cars, hydropower, biofuels, etc. One extensive study [www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net] argues compellingly that, even in combination, these alternatives fall far short of meeting global energy needs and we have already run out time needed to fully implement even these limited alternatives.

Two big energy 'secrets' that the public urgently needs to know:

The first 'secret' is the existence of advanced energy technologies which could rapidly obsolete fossil fuels and nuclear power with clean, cheap, safe energy, universally available. Many doubt their existence by assuming, incorrectly, that if those technologies existed it would be public knowledge. And many also assume, incorrectly, that inventors are free to bring out advanced energy technologies and would be universally applauded if they did.

The second 'secret' is the ongoing suppression of these advanced energy technologies.  (Note that allowing the limited alternatives to emerge is an insignificant challenge to the giant global energy infrastructure, but it pacifies the public into believing the illusion that there is no suppression.) The truly advanced energy technologies burn no fuel, produce no emissions, are totally safe and can produce unlimited amounts of cheap energy under all conditions. They would make energy available to all people and all nations just as are the sun and the air. They would obsolete the entire global energy establishment, including the nuclear power interests. The multi-trillion dollar capital infrastructure of the energy establishment would become worthless. All those whose power, wealth and influence derive from that energy infrastructure would lose. Along with widespread energy independence would come a large measure of economic and political independence which would trigger a global revolution in power, influence and wealth. Is it reasonable to expect that those possessing such power would quietly relinquish all of it without resisting? These far-reaching assertions can, understandably, generate skepticism and doubt. Following are three web sites that can serve as an introduction to both the technical and the non-technical issues which need to be widely known.

2. visit http://www.free-energy.cc/background.html and click on "Technologies"

3. We should not assume that scientists have already discovered all of natures' secrets.  "...The time has come for the Establishment scientists to wake up to the possibility that we can draw upon energy in the space medium ... Editor's Note: See Correa's U.S. Patents numbers 5,416,391 and 5,449,989."  From http://www.padrak.com/ine/BLOWSNASA.html The Jewish connection: American Jews in general have a dual responsibility to help achieve energy independence from fossil fuels. 1. As Americans, achieving energy independence is obviously in the national interest. 2. As Jews, it is also important for Israel's security which suffers because oil affords her Arab enemies political and economic advantages.  The Jewish establishment has failed to create a competent brain trust to deal seriously with major issues concerning Jews. One major issue would naturally be pursuit of global energy independence. Jews are prominent in science and especially in physics where their expertise should have been engaged in this quest. Had the Jewish establishment seriously investigated the energy issue they would have discovered the existence of advanced energy technologies and their suppression. They could have then cooperated with other organizations in generating strong public pressure to end the suppression. Their failure to act is due mainly to ineptitude and not malevolence.  The radical Jewish left, in contrast, cannot be excused due to ineptitude and must be held to full account. Ideologically and numerically they constitute a fringe group but their noisy influence in America, Israel and internationally, is far greater than their small numbers would imply. This makes them especially culpable for their failure to act responsibly on this critical issue. Members of the radical Jewish left have embedded themselves in a variety of non-Jewish organizations where they wield disproportionate influence. Their followers are found in academia, in the arts and sciences, in the media, in legal and social services, in government, in human rights organizations, in organized labor, in various leftist coalitions, in politics - especially among Democrats in America and in key places in Israeli society. They have infiltrated mainstream American Jewry which is predominately 'liberal' and therefore naively vulnerable to leftist infiltration. Radical leftist Jews loudly proclaim their support of various noble causes including; peace, justice, racial and gender equality, environmentalism, workers rights, religious freedom, opposition to 'capitalist exploitation', human rights, etc. Environmentally, they posture as being against the pernicious influence of the oil barons and the damage to the environment caused by burning fossil fuels. They advocate 'green' politics which supports energy conservation, efficiency, and green technologies such as solar, wind and other clean, renewable energy sources. What could possibly be wrong with that?

Just as the energy establishment endorses limited 'green' energy alternatives as a distraction, the radical Jewish left also endorses the same 'green' alternatives and, in effect, behaves as double agents for those same energy barons. The radical Jewish left is part of the general radical left that is very adept at producing exposes of organizations that are betraying the public interest. They proudly cite their political credentials based on the causes they support and the enemies they oppose and expose. What greater achievement could the radical Jewish left ever have than ending the blackout on, and the suppression of, the advanced energy technologies? All of their self-proclaimed noble causes would be far better served by achieving true energy independence for all the peoples of the world. With all of their intellectual talent and their capability to extensively research all manner of issues, we can rightly assume that the radical Jewish left is well aware of the suppression of advanced energy technologies. Their contacts throughout various segments of society would enable them to spread their urgent message to end the suppression of advanced energy technologies and benefit all humanity - if they chose to do so. Their prominence in 'green' politics actually serves the energy barons by diverting well-meaning environmental activists into a technological and political dead end. Public rallies against nuclear power, and against fossil and nuclear fuels, create the illusion of achieving something positive. In reality it drains away the energies of the well-intentioned activists and prevents them from learning about, and supporting, the urgently needed energy alternatives. The suppression of advanced energy technologies maintains global oil dependency thus providing a convenient excuse for rogue regimes to pursue nuclear power on their way to acquiring nuclear weapons. The left, in effect, ends up advocating a 'peace' leading towards nuclear proliferation. The general public should understand that there is little genuinely Jewish about the radical Jewish left which is both anti-American and anti-Israel. The radical left generally has long demonstrated a willingness to acquire and exploit various identities, whenever expedient, in pursuit of their agenda. The Jewish left, likewise, is cynically exploiting their ethnic identity in the service of a misguided energy agenda that is leading to the most malevolent and sinister betrayal of humanity imaginable.  The radical Jewish left thus exhibits a jihadist type of mentality wherein their hated is so fanatical that they are willing to see destroyed what they cannot dominate and that is what makes them so dangerous. This is evident in their political heritage which includes the infamous Yevseksia, the hardline Marxist Jews in Stalin's Russia... Once, the previous Lubavitcher Rebbe was arrested in Russia for spreading Jewish practice. The people who arrested the Rebbe were also Jewish; they belonged to the Jewish wing of the Communist party known as the Yevseksia. Perhaps it was their Jewish origin that motivated them to cruelly and ruthlessly try to stamp out Jewish observance. They demanded that the Rebbe give them information concerning the network of underground yeshivas and chadarim that he had established, to tell them about the location of kosher slaughterhouses, mikvaos, and so on. The Previous Rebbe was not intimidated and refused to give any information. Finally, his interrogator took out a gun and pointed it at the Rebbe, saying, "Do you see this little toy? This little toy has made a lot of people talk; it will make you talk as well." The Rebbe answered very firmly, "That toy can only frighten people who have one world and many gods. A person who has one G-d and two worlds is not afraid of your little toy." http://www.bjewsusa.com/LIB_kabbalah_chassidism_05.htm It is also to the shame of the Jewish establishment that they are officially silent on exposing and denouncing the radical Jewish left and their nefarious activities.
