Cheap—And Profitable—Life
It's cheaper to kill brown-skinned people in the Middle East than to force and severely enforce strict drilling practices. And killing generates huge profits plus greater control over the expendable masses.
At least the Lost Coast Outpost, Link to “story” below, admits they aren't putting out an actual news story. Rather, it's just another, “Press release from the office of Rep. Jared Huffman:”
“'Offshore drilling poses unacceptable risks, and the science and public opinion are clear: we should not put our oceans and fisheries, coastal communities, economies, and planet at risk just to enrich the fossil fuel industry,' said Representative Huffman. 'The world is transitioning to a green, clean energy future – and it is past time that we ban new offshore drilling and shift our investments to safe, renewable energy sources. Californians have experienced first-hand the environmental disasters caused by oil spills, and we are ready to put an end to that risk once and for all by permanently protecting our coasts.'”
Never mind that the “safe, renewable energy” technologies have long been suppressed. “The Great Reset” is the only “alternative” to oil/gas that the pee-ons are being “offered”. That and, “Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.”. Written in stone, yet ignored and/or trivialized by the corporate media.
Completely reform the US Patent system? On that, you won't even hear crickets, just silence, including from the faux “environmentalists”.
For example, make all Patents automatically “Public Domain”, and publish them--including all specifications and details—on the internet after 20 or 30 years after the initial Filing. A recommendation I first made in 2004 to the Ralph Nader campaign which sent a perfunctory “thank you” and of course was never proposed by Nader or even any underling.
Do we actually need to drill in the oceans? No. Mother Earth continues to produce enough oil for all, while we work to pry and expose the Patents and hidden technologies so we can indeed switch to clean energy that is affordable to all.
But by banning ocean drilling, the gullible can be sold the bamboozle that, gee, we'll have to be happy with far less at a much greater price while our overlords work night and day to bring us into a better world. That's always just around the corner, or over the hill, yet we never reach the promised destination because stuff happens.
