"Oil is NOT a fossil fuel"
By Peter J. Morgan B.E. (Mech.), Dip. Teaching
"We all grew up believing that oil is a fossil fuel, and just about every day this 'fact' is mentioned in newspapers and on TV, often when quoting supposedly learned scientists who should know better. However, let us not forget what Lenin said — "A lie told often enough becomes truth." Soon after the end of World War II, the Soviet dictator, Stalin, realised that the then Soviet Union needed its own substantial oil reserves and production system if it was ever again called upon to defend itself against an attacker such as Hitler's Germany."

In addition to the obsessive 24/7 media coverage of his dog, his wife and his latest sound bite, we also have our President appearing several times a day to lecture the American people on the virtues of being a good father and the virtues of volunteering. (Through a government agency, that is.)"

Suicide of the West?
By Thomas Sowell "There was a time when everybody understood this. German soldiers who put on American military uniforms, in order to infiltrate American lines during the Battle of the Bulge were simply lined up against a wall and shot — and nobody wrung their hands over it. Nor did the U.S. Army try to conceal what they had done. The executions were filmed and the film has been shown on the History Channel."
