It took a Don-Don to trump all other minor Dons, a Rubio that is little Marco, a Bolton who was always a Johnny and a real criminal called Elliott to engineer what could be the inflection point or (A)bram/s to launch the Caribbean into the geo-political stratosphere as elements of the racist power structure in Washington side with their kindred spirits in Caracas.

What we are witnessing is a real global criminal conspiracy, in broad daylight, to steal the largest oil resources in the world, by far – 300 billion barrels. It happens to be under the feet of the peoples of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Therein lies the most bothersome question for imperialism, for capitalism. The question for the Americans has always been – how do we get ‘our’ oil from under other peoples’ feet?

Those on BU who would want to contend that the USA has become a leading exporter of crude in recent years consistently miss the point. The point is strategic not tactical. It is about control of the tap and denial of access to others. The point was always about connecting real resources to paper currency. These are how the peoples of the world are really robbed! These are the critical questions. Not the puerile BS constantly propagated on the networks. Even the Johnny, that is Bolton, is making crystal clear for the idiots. This is to be a war of conquest. The Conquistadores are still in place, both in Caracas and Washington.

Maybe the point that the Chinese have recently invested 50 billion dollars in a joint venture with the government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and its President Nicolas Maduro represented, to the Americans, ‘a clear and present national security threat’ pushing the Americans to up the ante – illegal sanctions as war by other means. Economic warfare, if you will.

That reading of events is one which is quite common for Uncle Sam and his progenitors. In these circumstances, the threat of war had to take centre-stage because all other attempts to remove the legitimate government of Venezuela, over 20 years, including assassinations, had limited affect. Notwithstanding, the great Hugo Chavez had contended that he was given a ‘cancer serum’ and so were several other leftist-leaning leaders of Central and South American countries over recent years, he continued. But who amongst us will see the Americans as the murderers that they have always been!

In addition, the ‘Yankees’ are fearful that a growing and wider alliance between non-dollar trading countries, spawning the rise of the potentially-deadly ‘petro-yuan’, as the currency of choice, will hasten the end of American imperium. And they are quite right! Of course, Venezuela, and the wider Caribbean, has had a long and sordid history of American interventionism, the doctrine of former president Monroe still rules these lands.

This is the classical story of how militarism is deployed in the service of corporations, oil companies and big money-men like Donald John Trump. Trump, who has no qualms about ‘taking other people oil’ at the point of a gun, in true American presidential gangster-style, especially if that gun could be cloaked in all manner of pseudo-legalisms, as have been long practiced by every American president and administration, including bulling-Obama. This is a merely game for this overgrown child (Trump). A game, he will most certainly lose, if he has the guts to try, for Pachamama has ordained it!

So we are made to endure the illegal meetings at the United Nations. Other illegal meetings were held of the Organization of American States (OAS) as part of this criminal conspiracy. All aimed at giving a patina of legitimacy to an illegal destabilization and possible invasion of a sovereign state and rendering a death blow to the Geneva Conventions. An invasion not unlike what was conducted in Syria, in Libya, in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Panama, to name a few.

Of course, the ‘Don of all Dons’ is seeking a large payday on demitting office. We would estimate Trump could expect north of 15 billion dollars personally, after leaving office, impeachment or not, should this master caper, be successful.

Anglo-Caribbeans should note that neither Canada nor Britain has shown any hesitation in inviting war to our sacred region. Theresa May, ‘the hunchback of London’ and her foreign secretary, as a matter of course, dutifully and as pre-planned, gave the Americans the public nod to embark on this racist, Christian, crusade in our region. Theresa May’s husband is a notorious arms dealer, selling weapons to kill children in Yemen. Why not the Caribbean? Is he being promised piece of the war materiel action?

You would have thought that we had good relationships with Canada. Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, as the boy scared of the big bad wolf south of him, could not be the son of a man who four (4) former Caribbean prime ministers were once committed to, as he sought to shift the hemispheric, geo-political, equation, fundamentally. This determination should make us re-consider things that too many of us take for granted. We still have titularly Black people talking shiiite about their Scottish blood, etc. We have to stop expecting that the ‘mother country’ or historical trading partners are to be bound to understandings that some special dispensations are to be given us.

At the OAS meeting it was inspiring to see that some small Caribbean states had the gumption to vote against the imperialists, Prime Minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Ralph Gonzales, is especially worthy of note. There was a similar number also abstaining, leading to the massive defeat of the America construction of an artificial ‘casus belli’, not dissimilar to the lies around the Invasion of Iraq (2003).

You could rely on the mendicancy of the Mottley regime in Barbados to abstain. But even that could get them in trouble with Trump. A no-vote would have been a monumental surprise. Notwithstanding, it would be too much to expect the likes of David Comissiong, ‘the moral compass for decency’ as venerated in Bridgetown, by some, to be resigning anytime soon. This path to war by Trump should cause Comissiong to rethink his empty rhetoric about regional unity etc. For it has always been highly misconceived!

We doubt it! You see, American policymakers are so drunken by imperial hubris, so intoxicated by a faux exceptionalism, that is seems impossible for any significant faction of elite forces to prevent another Iraq, another Afghanistan, any imperial excesses at all. Not at a time when everybody in America wants to get fabulously rich, and real quick. But maybe, the fate of the USA has been written in the stars. How could it be otherwise possible to elect a modern-day Nero, a modern-day Caligula, advance a neo-Nazi global state where wealth is highly consolidated and not expect the dominance of the madness as foretold, being a lived reality!

Those here on BU, misguided and supportive of the musings of the ‘humanitarian’ interventionists in Washington should remember Libya or Puerto Rico after two hurricanes, one after the other. Is this the same Trump presenting that he now cares about Venezuelans? Should there not be a wall to prevent these kinds of people from ‘shithole’ countries coming to America? Or maybe, the honorary Whites of Venezuela and those living in Miami, prepared, as they are, to sell out their country to neo-Nazis are truly exceptional idiots.

Yesterday Colombia was saying that its territory will not be used in any aggression against the Bolivarian Republic. Today, the Americans are announcing that their troops are deployed in Colombia. But Russia has a battalion (up to 800) stationed in Venezuela and they come with the whole arsenal of the defenses of the Russian Federation. And Venezuela has other friends in the world. These include the peoples of Cuba and those of Haiti. Internally, many supporters of the revolution are willing to die for this just cause. They also have contacts with several popular forces which have resoundingly defeated the Yankees, many times over. Did a president of the United States not ordered the leader of Syria to leave office in a manner not dissimilar to the present idiot? And is Assad not still in office, and dominantly so? So too will be Maduro many moons after Trump resides in the dustbin of history! We remain less certain about the American neo-Nazi state.
Donald John Trump is a coward! His band of armchair generals has but a solitary military success in over a hundred years – poor Grenada. They have been beaten or failed to meet their targets in every military adventure. These include WW1, WW2, Vietnam, Korea and all others. Recently the Iranians, the Syrians, the Russians, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Taliban have either defeated America and/or its proxies, in hot and/or cold confrontations, sometimes more than once, within a short period of time. The truth is that nobody is afraid of America. In military matters when once a belligerent has lost the spectre of invincibility, it can never be regained. The Zionist state is a perfect example. Such is the American imperium as it seeks its long-awaited death in the swaps of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Long live the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela as inspired by Hugo Chavez Frias, long live!

  1. Every time these dictators find themselves in trouble. They blame the West. Never mind that their populace all head for the West in times of trouble to avoid the slaughter house of blood and mayhem these dictators are placed upon their heads when the people disagree


  2. It is scary to observe a man appointing himself president and key developed countries attempt to legitimize the act.


  3. Dude.dudette, I focused on every paragraph and came to the conclusion….. Excellent from start to finish.

    It is amazing that some in the Caribbean still believe in Uncle Sam despite the way he treated his Puerto Rican nieces/nephews and his characterization of some countries as sh!thole countries.

    To me this can be summed up in a few words coming from the United States viewpoint ‘

    a) Not bout hay
    b) Not in my back yard. The americas is seen as the absolute sphere of influence of the USA.

    Welcome to the new economic and ideological warfare that will be fought by China and/or Russia versus United States.

    Pick your enemies wisely and your friends even more wisely. They are no “neutrals” in or on a battlefield just targets as seen by the opposing sides in the conflict.

    The question is:

    If not, why not?

    Is China afraid of further trade sanctions by the Trump(ing) administration or is Russia being used as the bag boy left to do all the dirty ‘wanking’ work in a game of whose pecker is bigger than whose?
    Humpty Dumpty Trump as he sits on his Mexican wall or Putin the bully in the imperial playground yearning for a return to the good old Khrushchev days of Soviet Union domination?


  7. The Russian-American blogger and author Dmitry Orlov left Russia at the age of 12 to emigrate to the USA.along with his family. While living in the US, he made several trips back to Russia in his teenage years to visit relatives he had left behind there. During these visits he observed at first hand the effects of the hardships and economic dislocation visited on most “average” Russian citizens as the country attempted to move from communism to a more Western free-market capIallist system following the collapse of the USSR. He claims that he sees the signs of inequality, distrust, conflict, dissolution and decay today in US society, politics and the economy that remind him very much of the situation in his original homeland during the runup to the collapse of the USSR. He has written essays and several books touching on this topic and on how to plan for and survive an economic collapse similar to the one experienced by his Russian relatives and friends.

    Below is an excerpt from his latest blog on this most recent US sponsored attempt at another Venzuelan coup. For what it’s worth he (like other economic/energy analysts) also believes the fracking/shale oil boom that first started giving a very significant boost to US oil production about 10 years ago, is about to come to an end sooner rather than later due to the extremely high depletion rates of shale oil wells. Most shale oil recovery operations have never made a profit and therefore had to keep taking on large amounts of debt to keep operating in the hopes that one day “soon” they would turn a profit. In fact some operations have been using new debt to pay off the old debt, which starts to sound very much like a ponzi scheme. It looks more and more like the hunt for shale oil profits is is going to end up looking something like a hunt to find the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Orlov thinks this adds further impetus to US attempts to instal a compliant leader in Venezuela to ensure the US can have access to Venezuelan oil on favourable (to the US) terms when the shale ponzi scheme goes bust for good.

    Why must Venezuela be destroyed?

    Why the unseemly haste to blow up Venezuela? The explanation is a simple one: it has to do with oil. “It will make a big difference to the United States economically if we could have American oil companies invest in and produce the oil capabilities in Venezuela.” said John Bolton on Fox News. You see, Venezuelan oil cannot be produced profitably without high oil prices—so high that many oil consumers would go bankrupt—but it can certainly be produced in much higher quantities at a huge financial loss.

    Huge financial losses certainly wouldn’t stop American oil companies who have so far generated a $300 billion loss through fracking—financed by looting retirement savings, saddling future generations with onerous debt and other nefarious schemes. Also keep in mind that the single largest oil consumer in the world is the US Dept. of Defense, and if it has to pay a little more for oil in order to go on blowing up countries—so it will. Or, rather, you will. It’s all the same to them. The US is already well beyond broke, but its leaders will do anything to keep the party going for just a while longer.

    Here’s the real problem: the fracking bonanza is ending. Most of the sweet spots have already been tapped; newer wells are depleting faster and producing less while costing more; the next waves of fracking, were they to happen, would squander $500 billion, then $1 trillion, then $2 trillion… The drilling rate is already slowing, and started slowing even while oil prices were still high. Meanwhile, peak conventional (non-fracked) oil happened back in 2005-6, only a few countries haven’t peaked yet, Russia has announced that it will start reducing production in just a couple years and Saudi Arabia doesn’t have any spare capacity left.

    A rather large oil shortage is coming, and it will rather specifically affect the US, which burns 20% of the world’s oil (with just 5% of the world’s population). Once fracking crashes, the US will go from having to import 2.5 million barrels per day to importing at least 10—and that oil won’t exist. Previously, the US was able to solve this problem by blowing up countries and stealing their oil: the destruction of Iraq and Libya made American oil companies whole for a while and kept the financial house of cards from collapsing. But the effort to blow up Syria has failed, and the attempt to blow up Venezuela is likely to fail too because, keep in mind, Venezuela has between 7 and 9 million Chavistas imbued with the Bolivarian revolutionary spirit, a large and well-armed military and is generally a very tough neighborhood.

    Previously, the US resorted to various dirty tricks to legitimize its aggression against oil-rich countries and its subsequent theft of their natural resources. There was that vial of highly toxic talcum powder Colin Powell shook at the UN to get it to vote in favor of destroying Iraq and stealing its oil. There was the made-up story of humanitarian atrocities in Libya to get the votes for a no-fly zone there (which turned out to be a bombing campaign followed by a government overthrow). But with Venezuela there isn’t any such fig leaf. All we have is open threats of naked aggression and blatant lies which nobody believes, delivered incompetently by clowns, stooges and old fogies.

    You must try to understand the political culture of the Chinese. They would never operate in way that you are demanding. Theirs is an Eastern culture. They are playing a long game.

    Our understanding of the Chinese is that they feel that a knock-out blow has already been landed to the Americans.

    For them the question is then, why take the risks of punching again. Might it not be better to watch your quarry stumble and fall, on its own weight.

    We have been concerned about the role of Guyana in this march to war. Its role within the LIMA group. Its recently started relationship with Haliburton and Exxon about oil in ‘contested’ territory claimed by Venezuela.

  11. The Making of Juan Guaido: How the US Regime Change Laboratory Created Venezuela’s Coup Leader

    Juan Guaidó is the product of a decade-long project overseen by Washington’s elite regime change trainers. While posing as a champion of democracy, he has spent years at the forefront of a violent campaign of destabilization

    By Dan Cohen and Max Blumenthal

    Before the fateful day of January 22, fewer than one in five Venezuelans had heard of Juan Guaidó. Only a few months ago, the 35-year-old was an obscure character in a politically marginal far-right group closely associated with gruesome acts of street violence. Even in his own party, Guaidó had been a mid-level figure in the opposition-dominated National Assembly, which is now held under contempt according to Venezuela’s constitution.

    But after a single phone call from from US Vice President Mike Pence, Guaidó proclaimed himself president of Venezuela. Anointed as the leader of his country by Washington, a previously unknown political bottom-dweller was vaulted onto the international stage as the US-selected leader of the nation with the world’s largest oil reserves.

    Echoing the Washington consensus, the New York Times editorial board hailed Guaidó as a “credible rival” to Maduro with a “refreshing style and vision of taking the country forward.” The Bloomberg News editorial board applauded him for seeking “restoration of democracy” and the Wall Street Journal declared him “a new democratic leader.” Meanwhile, Canada, numerous European nations, Israel, and the bloc of right-wing Latin American governments known as the Lima Group recognized Guaidó as the legitimate leader of Venezuela.

    While Guaidó seemed to have materialized out of nowhere, he was, in fact, the product of more than a decade of assiduous grooming by the US government’s elite regime change factories. Alongside a cadre of right-wing student activists, Guaidó was cultivated to undermine Venezuela’s socialist-oriented government, destabilize the country, and one day seize power. Though he has been a minor figure in Venezuelan politics, he had spent years quietly demonstrated his worthiness in Washington’s halls of power.

    SNIP

    While Guaidó is today sold as the face of democratic restoration, he spent his career in the most violent faction of Venezuela’s most radical opposition party, positioning himself at the forefront of one destabilization campaign after another. His party has been widely discredited inside Venezuela, and is held partly responsible for fragmenting a badly weakened opposition.

    ‘These radical leaders have no more than 20 percent in opinion polls,” wrote Luis Vicente León, Venezuela’s leading pollster. According to León, Guaidó’s party remains isolated because the majority of the population “does not want war. ‘What they want is a solution.’”

    Maduro faces backlash from Chavistas amid Venezuela upheaval: ‘My hopes are set on a change’
    The Independent
    The IndependentJanuary 29, 2019, 4:43 AM PST
    Venezuela is facing an atypical moment: two men claim to be the country’s president.

    On one side is Nicolas Maduro, the late Hugo Chavez’s handpicked successor, elected president in May 2018. A re-election that was widely derided as fraudulent, with opposition politicians barred from running and the electoral board run by Maduro loyalists.

    On the other side is Juan Guaido, the 35-year-old engineer, who last week proclaimed himself interim president of Venezuela. Guaido was recently elected head of Venezuela’s national assembly, an institution stripped of its power by the government in 2017.

    Guaido argues Maduro is an illegitimate leader. Maduro, for his part, insists his electoral victory was absolute and refuses to relinquish power, calling the situation a “coup”.

    In the middle of this political crisis there’s an entire population who continue to live their lives in a mixture of doubt, fear and hope.

    “That day I woke up confused,” says Erlys Figueredo, a 60-year-old caregiver. “People said we had a new president.”

    Figueredo, who started waiting at dawn to buy a gas cylinder in Petare, a working-class neighbourhood in Caracas, seems more concerned about the line than politics.

    Oil-rich Venezuela has been enduring an economic crisis since 2014, creating shortages of everything, including home cooking gas.

    “I don’t know what is happening. I just know that Maduro is the one who has me like this: waiting in line forever.”

    A few blocks away, waiting in another line, is Leida Blanco.

    “The truth is that I don’t know that boy [Guaido],” says Blanco, 45, as she waits for the bus that will take her to work. “But it would be worth it to have hope in him.”

    I don’t know what is happening. I just know that Maduro is the one who has me like this: waiting in line forever

    Erlys Figueredo, caregiver

    Blanco is originally from Colombia and works as a house cleaner. She says when she arrived in Venezuela 15 years ago “it was a prosperous country – now we can barely get by”.

    Before taking the oath in front of thousands of supporters in Caracas, Guaido was relatively unknown, both inside and outside the country.

    Felix Seijas, a political analyst and director of the Delphos polling agency, says that at the very beginning of the year Guaido was unknown to 97 per cent of people – by mid-January he was supported by 60 per cent of people surveyed.

    “This is an important step to bring democracy back,” says Jesus Hernandez, a 33-year-old mechanical engineer who’s been actively campaigning for a change of regime for years.

    “Venezuelans are on the street, they want this to happen and it’s finally happening.”

    The interim presidency was recognised by the United States, at least until free and fair elections could take place. This was followed by a growing list of Latin American nations.

    Maduro, who was sworn in for a second presidential term earlier this month, has the support of Russia, China, Turkey, Iran, Syria, Cuba, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Bolivia. He ordered US diplomats to leave the country, but agreed to keep a few of them in the Venezuela for a month.

    “We do not have diplomatic and political relations with them. I broke them,” Maduro said on Sunday during an interview with CNN Turk.

    Ever since Chavez was in office jokes have floated around Venezuela about the possibility of foreign intervention.

    “Bienvenidos sean los marines” – Welcome marines – or “Yo los recibo personalmente en el puerto” – I will personally receive them at the port – have been, for long, common jokes in the streets. And especially so in recent days, since Donald Trump officially recognised Guaido as interim president.

    On Monday, John Bolton, the US national security adviser, was pictured holding a note which read “5,000 troops to Colombia” during an announcement of fresh sanctions against Venezuela.

    “At least if the United States intervenes we could get rid of Maduro,” says Zaida Rodriguez, a 56-year-old housekeeper from Valencia, with her tongue firmly in her cheek.

    “Deep inside, many people in Venezuela flirt with the idea of an intervention,” says Andres Rondon, 62, a former diplomat and now a consultant.

    “We are a country that has lost hope. There is nothing worse than losing hope, which is why many consider something as extreme as a foreign intervention,” he says, while insisting that for him that wouldn’t be an option.

    “Imperialism isn’t needed to intervene in a country to change its president,” says Alejandro Rondon, a 24-year-old management student and Maduro supporter.

    “They do it differently. They support coups and disguise them as ‘constitutional actions’. It happened in Honduras, Paraguay and Brazil,” he adds.

    The European Union has been slightly less firm in its reaction. Britain, France, Spain and Germany have threatened Maduro that they will recognised Guaido as interim president if new elections aren’t called within days.

    As an additional measure of pressure, Trump has applied new sanctions to PDVSA, Venezuela’s state-owned oil and gas company. According to a Treasury statement, all PDVSA assets and property subject to US jurisdiction are now blocked.

    Discontent is undeniable, particularly in working-class neighbourhoods – traditionally strongholds of Chavismo – where most of last week’s protests took place. In some areas, residents set fire to barricades made of rubbish and tyres, while security forces fired teargas and rubber bullets.

    “Most of the protests these days take place in the slums,” says Cesar Gonzalez, 18, who lives in a building near Cotiza, a working-class neighbourhood in west Caracas. “Most of the neighbours that used to support the government – they take to the streets this time.”

    According to the Venezuelan Observatory of Social Conflict, an NGO, 35 people died in protests across the country, at least 10 of them in Caracas. The legal group Foro Penal said almost 800 people were detained.

    Two major nationwide protests have been called for Wednesday and Saturday when the EU ultimatum to Maduro expires.

    Despite the amount of pressure Maduro’s government finds itself under, it still seems to have an ace up its sleeve: the armed forces. Last week Vladimir Padrino, Venezuela’s defence minister, denounced what he called a coup, and reiterated his loyalty to Maduro.

    For years the armed forces have been put in charge of government operations such as food distribution and PDVSA. According to analysts, this is how loyalty from the armed forces has been kept, and also by turning a blind eye to their involvement in illegal activities.

    For his part, Guaido is offering amnesty to the soldiers willing to abandon Maduro.

    Despite growing uncertainty about the country’s future, life continues for most Venezuelans, many of whom struggle to survive with a broken economy.

    “Inflation is eating us. Not even by increasing the salary 500 times will this be sustainable. Nobody can live like this,” argues Kelly Rivas, 33, a teacher from Catia.

    “My hopes are set on a change.”

    Somethings are worth Reemphasizing as I noticed Pachamama dropped out of the conversation on the ‘ArticleJuan Guaidó, Venezuela AND Caricom’…My feeling were at the time of his disappearance is that he would comeback with pen sharpened with such an Misleading Article as has been presented…

    Pachamama you, GreenMonkey, Commie Sing and others of your ilk want to take Barbados down the road of Venezuela but we not following your Communist Pied Piper Dream. We Bajans have more sense than that. We have witnessed even big nations like Venezuela get Destroyed by Socialist/Communist Ideologues and although we live in a Socialist country we have not yet crossed the line, we are close.

    Pachamama have you noticed that you continue to use the old tired Marxist Propaganda about American Imperialism…Name one Country that America invaded/liberated that they are ruling or have control of. America is sufficient in oil so you’re implying that America has its sights set on Venezuela for that reason is Bogus.… You have looked at the Nation with the Largest oil reserves that was at the pinnacle of its success before Chavez and now you have a nation that is Destitute who is importing Gasoline, a Nation that has one of the largest oil Reserves in the world.

    What we are witnessing is the Push back and the blow back by ordinary people who have had it with Leftist Ideology being rammed down their throats for decades and being told what to do with every single aspect of their life…You are getting the push back in France, Italy, Germany, Sweden & England with its Brexit and in America with the election of Trump, in Brazil with their new leader and some other South American Countries.

    The Subjugation by the Elites are finally getting pushed back, the Desire for real Freedom yearns in a man’s heart and it is being manifested in the countries called.

    We are still in the Birth Stages and the Globalist/Communist do not like it and they are fighting hard to Control the world.

    You extol Socialist Revolution as Beneficial, but when the Real Revolution comes as it is coming in Venezuela by all the people that are left in Venezuela who are tired to De Bone of no water, no cooking fuel, no Medicine, no Food, no Laws, nothing works and a man feels lucky if he has had one meal a day.

    You are an Ideologue, you care nothing for Truth, you care nothing for people you care nothing for the Nation of Venezuela.

  22. Do low oil prices mean that there must be lots of oil available to satisfy world demand?

    If oil were in short supply, then surely oil prices would rise ever higher and higher to reflect that fact. However insurance actuary Gail Tverberg of OurFiniteWorld blog thinks we are missing an important factor with this somewhat overly simplistic line of thinking. Since energy (a big percentage of which is derived from OIL) is a major factor in the manufacture and transportation of goods, the cost of goods increase along with the oil prices as demand for oil increases. At some point, however, consumers can no longer afford to pay the higher costs of their consumables manufactured from the higher priced oil, and economies tip into recession thereby driving down demand for both goods and oil.

    The world is left to stumble along on a shaky economic plateau where high oil prices lead to recession, reduced demand and then lower oil prices. Just because oil prices are suddenly lower is no reason to celebrate however. Since most of the light, sweet, easy to get at oil (i.e. cheap oil) has already been produced, mostly it is the more expensive to produce oil (e.g. fracked oil, tar sands oil, heavy oil – like what Venezuela has in abundance) that remain today to be produced. To be profitable for oil companies to produce that oil, by default it has to get a higher price on the market. But the market for higher priced oil is limited as it will drive economies into recession again. So there you have the rock, the hard place and mankind in the middle.

    Gail Tverberg explains it in more detail here:

    Low Oil Prices: An Indication of Major Problems Ahead?

    Posted on November 28, 2018 by Gail Tverberg

    Many people, including most Peak Oilers, expect that oil prices will rise endlessly. They expect rising oil prices because, over time, companies find it necessary to access more difficult-to-extract oil. Accessing such oil tends to be increasingly expensive because it tends to require the use of greater quantities of resources and more advanced technology. This issue is sometimes referred to as diminishing returns. Figure 1 shows how oil prices might be expected to rise, if the higher costs encountered as a result of diminishing returns can be fully recovered from the ultimate customers of this oil.

    In my view, this analysis suggesting ever-rising prices is incomplete. After a point, prices can’t really keep up with rising costs because the wages of many workers lag behind the growing cost of extraction.

    The economy is a networked system facing many pressures, including a growing level of debt and the rising use of technology. When these pressures are considered, my analysis indicates that oil prices may fall too low for producers, rather than rise too high for consumers. Oil companies may close down if prices remain too low. Because of this, low oil prices should be of just as much concern as high oil prices.

    In recent years, we have heard a great deal about the possibility of Peak Oil, including high oil prices. If the issue we are facing is really prices that are too low for producers, then there seems to be the possibility of a different limits issue, called Collapse. Many early economies seem to have collapsed as they reached resource limits. Collapse seems to be characterized by growing wealth disparity, inadequate wages for non-elite workers, failing governments, debt defaults, resource wars, and epidemics. Eventually, population associated with collapsed economies may fall very low or completely disappear. As Collapse approaches, commodity prices seem to be low, rather than high. (my emphasis /GM)

    The low oil prices we have been seeing recently fit in disturbingly well with the hypothesis that the world economy is reaching affordability limits for a wide range of commodities, nearly all of which are subject to diminishing returns. This is a different problem than most researchers have been concerned about. In this article, I explain this situation further.

    What do you have to loose. You’re ‘shithole’ countries already! (quote)

    They say “charity begins at home.” That is what i was told. I will also submit that “bravery/integrity/courage” also maybe begin at home. Growing a real backbone may not be an overnight process unless its a “brittle backbone” that will not withstand any real pressure. We have leaders in our a duopoly that are cowards on domestic issues. That is why perhaps “corruption” in Bim is now “par -for-the-course”. Have these same leaders faced the beast and conquered it? I submit not!!

    It may be very hard or next to impossible to expect bajan politicians that cannot stand up against domestic terrorism(corruption) to project any real bravery/courage/integrity on the regional and/or international stage. The truth of the pudding is in the eating, but before we extend our pudding onto the regional/international stage first make we sure we pass the domestic taste test.

    I am just asking/saying?

    I agree 1000%


  26. a commentary of utter nonsense with venezuelans forced to flee their country in droves because of unprecendented suffering.


  27. Idiot. The mind of a Bajan will never understand the science of war.

    Have the Syrians not been made to flee their country as well? And has their country not prevailed over the American neo-Nazi regime running that conflict.

    Has every other war not inflicted all kinds of suffering on the people. Even the American Civil War.

    Only cowards would want to hide behind the victims. Why not go to centuries of imperial causation!

    The bottom line here ,as far as the Caribbbean is concerned , is that we stand together as one or we all sink together. Those who have consistently missed this point, should now see the danger of any other course.
    The Grenada revolution was imperiled by those Caribbean leaders, who failed to support the cause.
    The quest for comprehensive regional unity must be the ultimate goal of any progressive voice.


  31. Pachamama, you are a pathetic rabble rousing patsy.


  32. Pachamama has been the solitary voice arguing that the discourses about a ‘one Caribbean’ were always misconceived, even to this day. And our argumentations will never cease!

    For example, it strains credulity that some ‘one Caribbean’ BS could maintain relevance as constructed on a post slavery epoch, alone.


  33. Slavery is over – just ask the descendants of the white slaves in the Scotland district.


  34. @ William Skinner,

    The wider argument about the posture of the Trump regime is that it implicitly sets the parameters for which it would allow different forms of government in the region. The US is mapping its backyard.
    If our politicians think posing for pictures and making silly statements in local patois is setting down a mark on our sovereignty they are making a big mistake.

    We are , in this moot ,displaying our biases. We have no objective evidence except what is fed to us. Most of us start with a narrative and are harvesting opinions that fit into our narratives. If we step outside our boxes we will be as naked as Adam and Eve. Our fig leaves are inadequate for the purpose.

    Let us treat what is going on as a power game. Perhaps then we will need to adjust our focuses.


  36. @ Hal
    The politicians,the pseudo intellectuals and self appointed BU intelligentsia are singing from the same hymn sheet! It’s laughable.
    You are absolutely correct. I recall a Caribbean prime minister at an airport taking pictures of American war planes using his airport to invade Grenada.
    We are now at the mercy of photo ops and academic ops……….

    When I see crises like these I tend to observe the responses of our great minds.

    By great minds I do not mean our leaders, be they political or those who are in the front of the academic landscape.

    No siree, I refer to the solid stolid thinkers who consistently bring a specific reasoning skill to any matter at focus.

    So where Pachamama would have detailed the scope of this problem correctly AND ITS ACTORS AND INSTIGATORS, one then should be reviewing solutions from either Diety or the next best line of available wisdom.

    It is disturbingly obvious that we have forgotten and purposely continue to ignore the solutions of the former so let us see how the second front fares.

    FACT. OIL AND THE ISSUE OF DIMINISHING SOURCES OF FOSSIL FUEL DRIVES WAR.

    The Imperialist nations of our world , be that Russia or the UK, or interestingly and paradoxically China, donot give two wukkups and a squeeze pooch about the cuntries that they are raping and destabilising

    FACT TWO. TRUMP HAS TO INITISTE A WAR IN ORDER TO DIVERT IMPEACHMENT

    If I were to be on trial for the same thing he is on trial for, colluding with a foreign power against the United States, it would be in my interest to redirect the minds of the sheeple, of whom there are hundred of millions here in America to be IN FEAR OF AN EXTERNAL THREAT.

    My MS13 GAMBIT FAILED so this is the very next best bet.

    FACT THREE. CARICOM is a waste foop

    AS William Skinner and Pachamama ?have been sayinghave been saying this is a regional threat and if we do not face it as a region, WE DIE IN THE FALLOUT because, certainly in Barbados’ case, we are a staging point for armaments and we WILL BE BOMBED to nullify that staging point.

    FACT FOUR.

    WE WILL REMAIN PAWNS IF WE DO NOT MOVE FAST TO IMPLEMENT NEW DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES & SOLUTIONS.

    Small doggied men WITH LITTLE SELF ESTEEM, euphemism for CARICOM and its constituent governments OF WHICH BARBADOS HAILS, cannot lead the fray of technological revolution

    These are inept men and despotic women who, feed off a sheeple population with a people who refuse to stand up

    FACT FIVE. THERE BEING NO UNITY AT THE LOCAL OR REGIONAL LEVEL, OUR ASSES ARE GRASS
    Ms IMPERIALIST REPRESENTATIVES OF OUR WORLD,


  38. Pseudo-intellectualism and intelligentsia are the dogmas of those who used to proffer foreign systems for their ‘one Caribbean’.

    We have never seen ourselves as the ‘intellectuals’ you seem to have a fetish with. However, unlike the ‘unfinished product’ you are and have always been we happen to understand the development of ways of thinking, being.

    And despite your past efforts to have us serve that purpose, when it was of some benefit to you, we remain the enemy of that pigeon hole you seem insistent on putting us in.

    Fuck off!!!!!!!

    And j forgot to mention you Vincent Codrington as one of the local minds who comments on these issues, EVERY SINGLE TIME, devoid of all the emotionalism WHILE SPEAKING TO SOLUTIONS


  40. Beware of those who Speak and Publish Lies & Deception.

    Jesus responded: “Take heed that no man deceive you”.

    “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: … and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers’ places. All these are the beginning of sorrows” (Matt. 24:3–8).

    The Apostle Paul warned of these days: “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

    “And they shall turn away their ears from the truth” (2 Tim. 4:3–4).

    “That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive” (Eph. 4:11–14).

    Jesus cautioned several times that prior to His Second Coming, “Many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many” (Matt. 24:11)…. beware of false teachers who lie in wait to ensnare and destroy, If we are not careful many will fall victim to their deception.

    We should constantly cry out against all manner of Deception and Lies.

    These False Teachers “set themselves up for a light unto the world that they may get gain and praise of the world; but they seek not the welfare of the people. The “proud and self-vaunting ones, who read by the lamps of their own conceit; who interpret by rules of their own contriving; who have become a law unto themselves, and so pose as the sole judges of their own doings”

    False teachers are those who read by the lamps of their own conceit, who, though “ever learning,” are “never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (2 Tim. 3:7).

    False teachers are those who arrogantly attempt to fashion utterances of uninspired men, limited by their own prejudices and cultural biases.

    Mankind is Free to either act for themselves or be acted upon, “Wherefore they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeks that all men might be miserable like unto himself”.

    Lucifer, the adversary of truth, encourages disobedience, planting defiance in the hearts of the unwary. If he is successful, they will turn away from the light into the darkness of the world. Our safety, our peace abides in being anxiously engaged in good causes.

    Pray with all the Energy of Soul for the People of Venezuela that they may be Free of this Cruelty being enforced upon them…

    I shared with a Venezuelan Friend yesterday… “I hear your Cries Sis and I do my best to speak out. She replied …“Thank you, sooo many babies and elderly have died and he is killing all the young it’s terrible, it’s Genocide”

    2012 inflation rate in Venezuela- 21%.
    2018 inflation rate in Venezuela- 13,800% and climbing like an infused steroid Stalagmite.
    2019 inflation rate in Venezuela- Over 3 million %.
    A country that is RICH in natural resources, has been taken over by a Totalitarian Big Government.
