“Peak Oil” [Hubbert (1903-89)] predicted US domestic oil extraction would ‘peak’ by 1970. Oil extraction did peak in 1970, and attempts at predictions for world production were made. But Hubbert left out a few things. “Peak Oil” did not take into account new finds, new drilling techniques, different sources of oil, or different types of oil (abiotic, oil shale, etc…). Hubbert also didn’t | Read More »
Obama and Race a No-Starter Nobody admits it, but race was a huge factor in the recent presidential election. Many Republicans seemed paranoid about appearing racist by not exclaiming the virtues of the first black president. Some of those who didn’t vote for Obama actually wished Obama the best, and planned to watch the inauguration. Obama is called America’s first black president. But | Read More »
Many believe the Inquisitions were an indelible stain on Christianity, namely Catholics, during the Middle Ages. The Spanish Inquisition was the most denigrated, with alleged horror stories conducted by deranged Catholics. In 1492, Spain ended the rule of Boabdil, the last Muslim leader (Lord of History /Anne Carroll), by a Crusade. A true Christian and loyal Spaniard was Queen Isabella, who was | Read More »
Thirty one years ago the Department of Energy (DOE) was established during the Carter Administration. They currently have 16,000 federal employees, and approximately 100,000 contract employees. Their proposed budget is up 4.7% from 2008. No one seems to know why the DOE was founded. The reason given 31 years ago was “to lessen our dependence on foreign oil”. Instituted on 8/4/77, the DOE is | Read More »

From the war zone in Israel, Michael Evans (Founder/Jerusalem Prayer Team) states since 2001, more than 10,000 missiles and mortars have been fired into Southern Israel by Hamas. Hamas started this recent round of violence with its rockets. Israel has been imploring Hamas (Jerusalem Post) for weeks to stop. The response from the Islamists: they | Read More »
Catholics especially are continuously castigated for conducting the Crusades in the middle ages. Most non-Catholics seem to remember the Crusades as stories of barbarian savagery and brutality. Even today, most Muslims consider the Crusades a symbol of western hostility towards Muslims, with Western invasions motivated by their greed and hatred for Muslims. But for some reason, actual history is not recounted. The | Read More »
A hundred years ago, we didn’t know what radiation was, or that light travels in waves, or galaxies farther away from us are speeding away at a faster pace than closer galaxies. Even 350 years ago when Galileo said that the solar system revolved around the sun (heliocentric) instead of around the earth (geocentric), almost nobody believed him. A recent NOVA broadcast | Read More »
Fifty year ago, experts stated that Peak Oil would be reached by the year 2000. Now, most experts [Oilempire.us] say that this number will probably be in the year 2020. If you knew you were being told that a product would soon be in low supply, and you believed it, you could raise prices on a whim. US Mineral Management Services (MMS) | Read More »
Three very likely scenarios that the upcoming administration will face: #1) Iran goes nuclear on an Israeli location, #2) Russia nukes the Czech Republic and/or Poland, and #3) Islamofascists takes control of another country’s nuke and sends it America’s way. The one thing they all have in common is terrorism’s ugly face. Any terrorist knows the best way to kill as many “infidels” | Read More »
Toleration of acts that may not be well-liked can be commendable at times. Toleration of what one knows is pure evil can never be tolerated. Only 46% of the Catholic vote went to the McCain ticket this last presidential election. The rest went to Obama, who is known to vote for every bill promoting abortion that exists. Maybe all Catholics didn’t get the message | Read More »
