Leading oil producers agree that we are already using as much oil as the world can produce. There is very little spare capacity. If the weather gets really cold or the Chinese economy starts to fire on all cylinders then prices will rocket.
Despite the screams of anguish from the global warming nutters (egged on by the conspirators planning a global takeover) the world is going to rely on oil for years to come. Sunshine and wind provide only 5% of our energy – and that 5% relies on the sun shining and the wind blowing.
Even if the self-destructive sanctions preventing us using Russian oil are lifted, the price of oil is going to continue to soar and Europe, in particular, is going to be in serious trouble. The British Government, which has an open ended commitment to subsidise heating costs, is facing very serious financial problems. Either the subsidies will have to stop or taxes will need to rise dramatically.
Our modern society is built on the use of fossil fuels in general, and oil in particular.
It is forgotten that the Industrial Revolution revolved entirely around fossil fuels. It was coal and oil which changed our economy from an agrarian one to an economy dominated by industry and machine manufacture. It was the Industrial Revolution which led to the use of iron and steel, instead of wood, and, eventually, to the introduction of new energy sources such as electricity. It was the Industrial Revolution which led to the invention of new machines (such as the spinning jenny), the development of the factory system and to the development of the steam engine, the telegraph, the internal combustion engine and the jet engine. It was the factory system, a result of the Industrial Revolution, which led to the development of schools (so that there would be somewhere for children to go while their parents worked in the factories, and so that children would grow up accustomed to a day spent working) and terraced housing (so that workers could be accommodated close to the factories where they worked).
The Industrial Revolution resulted in changes in agriculture (tractors instead of horses), political changes (workers, now paying tax, wanting votes) and enormous social changes.
Originally, the Industrial Revolution was largely confined to England, and then the rest of Britain, until 1830 when it spread to France before reaching Germany and, eventually, the USA.
Then, slowly, England's great Revolution has spread to China, India and the rest of Asia.
Everywhere that the Industrial Revolution went it was built upon a supply of fossil fuels.
Coal was the first fossil fuel to change our lives.
Before mankind discovered the benefits of coal, our sources of energy were food and wood. Energy depended entirely on stuff we could grow – using our own muscles to do the digging and the sowing.
When men started digging coal out of the ground they started using energy sources that were already in existence – and had been formed generations before. Coal, oil and other fossil fuels are just what the name says: fossil fuels. They are created when ancient bits of matter are steadily crushed by billions of tons of rock. It takes millions of years for fossil fuels to form.
By the early 17th century English manufacturers producing iron and steel discovered that the higher temperatures possible with coal made it easy to smelt iron and work with metal.
But it was still difficult to get coal out of the ground. The biggest problem was that water tended to accumulate at the bottom of the mine shafts. In 1712, this problem was solved when Samuel Newcomen invented a simple steam engine specifically to pump water out of coal mines. And so, slowly, the industrial age was born out of the rediscovery of coal.
In 1803, an English engineer called Richard Trevithick used the improvements devised by James Watt and installed a steam engine on a carriage, intending it for use on the roads.
Unfortunately, roads hadn't yet been invented and the steam carriage wasn't much use until George Stephenson (another Englishman) put the steam locomotive on rails. Not surprisingly, the rails he used were similar to those used in the tramways in coal mines.
Things moved swiftly after that. In the 1790s an English engineer lit his factory with gaslights. In 1804 gas lighting was installed on the streets of London. By 1840 steam engines were being used on ships. And in 1854 coal-tar dyes were discovered and the chemical industry was born.
In 1800 the annual world coal output was 15 million tons. By 1900 the annual world coal output was 700 million tons and coal had transformed the world. The 19th century was the Coal Age.
From that point on, the world's energy would be derived not from renewable resources (human and equine muscle strength) but from a source of energy that, once gone, could not be replaced.
As machines became more widespread during the 19th century, so there was a need for oils to lubricate them. Whale oil, animal fats and vegetable oil were all used.
Petroleum oil had been used since the 7th century when Byzantine Emperor Constantine IV fixed flame throwers to the prows of his ships and the walls of the city when defending Constantinople. The flames were created using a mixture of naphtha, quicklime and sulphur which was known as `Greek Fire'. However, the only petroleum oil available was the stuff that seeped to the surface of the earth.
The first commercial oil well was drilled in the mid-19th century in America and from then on oil was used increasingly as a lubricant and as a lamp oil.
Ruthless American oilman Rockefeller used industrial espionage, predatory pricing and a variety of other dirty tricks to take over foreign oil companies, and by 1865 had very nearly obtained a worldwide monopoly on petroleum supplies.
By the early 20th century, oil was being used as a fuel for factories, trains and ships and oil burning furnaces were becoming common.
Oil has enormous benefits: it is easy to transport, it's full of energy and it can be refined into a variety of different fuels (diesel, petrol, kerosene) which can be used in many different ways.
Natural gas, often found alongside oil, was also brought into use for street lighting.
And then came electricity.
The first electric generator was invented in London in 1834 though, as with trains, cars and aeroplanes it was first commercialised in America.
Electricity isn't a fossil fuel, of course. It doesn't occur naturally in great seams in the ground. Coal, oil, gas, uranium or some other source of energy have to be converted into electricity – though small quantities can be made from water power and even smaller quantities can be made with wind or sunshine.
But it is the fossil fuels which enable us to obtain electricity cheaply and easily. Most electric cars are, in reality, powered by oil, coal or burning wood. (Electric cars are an impractical distraction – heavily subsidised for now but designed to wean us off personal transport and long journeys.)
The problem with electricity is that as a carrier of energy it is extremely inefficient all along the line – from the initial energy source right through to the final point of use.
When oil was available cheaply, wastefulness of electricity didn't matter much.
But it was shown decades ago that we’ve been so reckless in our use of oil that the supply is running out. We’ve reached the point where the supplies are running out. (To draw attention to the fact that the oil is running out, I wrote the first edition of my book A Bigger Problem than Climate Change in 2006. It has now been updated.)
The problem is that conspirators need to control the amount we use so that will be plenty left for their jets and yachts. They also need massive amounts for the military.
And so they have tricked the illiterate and the ignorant into believing that we have to stop using fossil fuels to save the planet.
Now, global warming is being used as an excuse for massive changes in our society – mostly revolving around our using fewer fossil fuels.
(Curiously, the definition of a fossil fuel has been changed for expediency and gas is officially no longer a fossil fuel. And governments have decided that using diesel powered ships and lorries to transport bits of tree half way around the world so that the wood can be burnt to create electricity, counts as a sustainable and renewable source of energy.)
The end of the oil is a primary problem. The threat of global warming has been created, exaggerated and promoted as a way to cut our use of fossil fuels. We have plenty of coal left but we are reaching the bottom of the barrel as far as oil is concerned. And the ignorant global warming cultists, set into motion by the conspirators, are now out of control and doing everything they can to exacerbate the situation by preventing the search for more supplies.
The benefits of fossil fuel are extraordinary.
Without fossil fuel it would take five people working continuously to create enough power to keep a 150 watt bulb burning. A motor car uses up the sort of energy that might be produced by 2,000 people. Each American has the equivalent of over 150 ‘energy slaves' working for them 24 hours each day.
For the last 100 years or so we have had the joy of using a virtually free energy source. All we had to do was take it out of the ground. The energy in a gallon of petrol is approximately the same as the energy expended by a man working hard for a month. Oil, particularly in America, has for a century been ridiculously cheap. If everyone on the planet consumed oil at the rate of the average American we would have probably run out of oil already.
Before oil, a man would need to expend great personal energy to travel thirty miles. With oil, such a journey becomes a trivial adventure.
Finding oil – with its latent energy – has been the equivalent of a mass lottery win. Coal is a useful fuel but it isn't anywhere near as versatile as oil. There aren't many things you can do with coal that you can't do with oil but there are a lot of things you can do with oil that you can't do with coal. How many people do you see driving around in coal fired cars? How many coal fired aeroplanes are there?
But instead of using oil to improve our world, and to eradicate poverty and hunger around the world (as we could so easily have done) we have used our find to help us build private aeroplanes, luxury yachts, space rockets, dishwashers and petrol driven lawnmowers. We have invented a thousand ways to use up the energy we have. Populations have expanded and governments have grown fat on the taxes they have imposed on the new millions. We have used the planet’s resources as though they were limitless.
And we have ignored the reality of our increasing dependency on a substance that is running out.
We have learned to take the benefits of fossil fuel for granted.
But the fossil fuels won't be around for much longer.
And when the fossil fuels (particularly oil) disappear, the earth will only be able to feed and provide shelter and warmth for a much smaller global population. Farmers will no longer be able to use fertilisers and tractors. Combine harvesters and lorries will stand and rot. Farms will produce what can be cultivated and harvested by the labour of men and horses.
The end result will be that there will be seven billion people living on a planet capable of sustaining one billion people.
And that is the single truth behind the myth of global warming, the terrifying nonsense of net zero, the horror of the Great Reset, the search for the new normal and the much publicised plan to reduce the world’s population by whatever means possible.
The conspirators, the Bilderbergers, know that the oil is running out – though, because they want to hide the truth, they have worked hard to build a rumour that there is plenty of oil. The conspirators know that without oil there won’t be enough food. They want to keep the oil for themselves, for their yachts and their cars and their tanks and bombers. They want to be sure that they and their families and descendants can continue to be fed and can move around the planet without difficulty. We could use what fossil fuel remains more carefully and more responsibly. But greedy conspirators don’t believe in responsibility.
The end of oil triggered the war we are now fighting.
We Are Stalked by Evil

The demand for electric cars means that all over the world new mines are being opened to dig up the essential minerals required to build an electric car. Many of the mines employ small children to dig out the metals. The sanctimonious idiots who buy electric cars don’t care about any of this. (Nor do they care, apparently, that they’ll be lucky to travel more than 100 miles without queuing for six hours to recharge their batteries. Anyone who buys an electric car should be regarded as too stupid to hold a driving licence.)
Smug, psychotic psycho Greens in Germany have forced their politicians to abandon nuclear power. The result will be that the price of natural gas will now soar, and next winter will be even more expensive than the last one. Millions more will die because of Green policies. The Greens are doubtless winning many brownie points from their Bilderberger masters.
Striking doctors don’t yet understand that they will all be out of work by 2028 at the latest. And my latest estimate is that all those who work with computers will be unemployed within three years. Permanently.
There are complaints that people no longer want to go to the theatre unless it is to watch a musical. Could this be because theatres are run by woke millennials who only put on plays which involve ethnically acceptable miserable characters who hate culture and history but pontificate constantly about climate change and transgender issues? Jokes are no longer acceptable and millennials don’t approve of fun. So the theatre will die. Nothing happens by mistake.
UK Prime Minister Sunak should be arrested as a war criminal. Sending depleted uranium shells to Ukraine makes him one of the worst war criminals for decades. If you haven’t watched it please take a look at my video entitled ‘Nuclear War is Coming’ which deals with the proven dangers of depleted uranium. Sunak is a truly evil man.
The UN Security Council wants to replace international law with rules that they are making up. And, of course, the UN is a completely unelected body.
The US traditionally uses international organisations such as the IMF for its own geopolitical purposes. The current aim is to contain China and isolate Russia. Not going too well.
It is crucial to remember that the US deliberately got rid of a democratically elected government in Ukraine in 2014 and put in a puppet government. It is also important to understand that Russia intended only to liberate the Russian speaking parts of Ukraine. And, a long time ago, Russia wanted to make peace. It was Biden and NATO which refused the chance of peace. Oh, and Sunak didn’t want peace either. `More bombs, more deaths, more destruction!’ is the constant cry from our so-called leaders, egged on by a compliant media and armies of insane Ukraine flag waving collaborators.
General Cavoli, the Supreme Allied Commander Europe and NATO big cheese has admitted that Russian armed forces have not been adversely affected by the war in Ukraine. Think about that. And then ask yourself whether you heard about that on the mainstream media. If you want to check this out watch Cavoli’s evidence to the House and Senate armed services committees. Meanwhile, the BBC has seemed obsessed with the deaths of a number of fairly minor celebrities. Distraction, you see.
British rail unions have called for strikes on the day of the Eurovision song contest, the Derby at Epsom and the Cup Final. (I thought the rail strikes were over but the rail unions obviously decided otherwise.) Is this part of the globalists plan to destroy our culture, our history and our ability to travel to big events? (I know it’s pushing it to describe the Eurovision song contest as a cultural event but maybe the rail union bosses regard it as cultural. Who knows. These people live in a different world and sit in a parallel universe.)
The awful mayor of Paris (the one who drove us away from the city) is going ahead with her plan for excluding private cars from the centre of Paris. Hidalgo, the socialist mayor, wants to be President of France but to be honest I think I’ve got a better chance of becoming President of France than she has. The French have seen the sort of mess she’s made of Paris.
In New York, the Mayor’s food police want to measure the carbon footprints of New Yorkers by examining what they eat. He wants to cut food consumption by a third by 2030. And he wants New Yorkers to eat laboratory food. I don’t think he has asked New Yorkers if they are happy about this proposal, but politicians regard democracy as an inconvenience and don’t bother to take any notice of the wishes of their citizens these days. (Check out the utterly awful Khan in London for more evidence. Why should he care? Demographics will keep him in power for at least another 50 years.)
Passing Observations 160

The International Monetary Fund says that interest rates will go back to pre-covid rates (ie. 0%). They’re wrong. (This is no time for false modesty. I’ve been right for the last three years while they’ve been consistently wrong). They say that interest rates will go down because of low productivity and an ageing population. That is so stupid. If you make less of something what do you think happens to the price? Exactly. The explanation for this apparent lunacy is that the IMF (like the rest of the financial community) is deliberately confusing and bewildering those daft enough to listen to their absurd prognostications.
In future English residents will have to sort all their recycling into seven plastic bins. It was going to be six but now it’s seven. The idea is to train people to behave. And to waste their time. I have never recycled. It is an utter waste of time, energy and money.
Poundbury, the hideous estate built near Dorchester under the auspices of Charles who would be king, was the first of the new 15 minute cities. It was started a decade and a half ago proving just how long Charles has been part of the Great Reset. It is a disaster from a social point of view and a disaster from an architectural point of view.
There will be very little rental accommodation available in future. Landlords struggling to cope with new laws and taxes have to find a collective £17.9 billion to make upgrades required by the climate change fraudsters (the truth deniers). The result is that buy to let landlords are flogging their properties for whatever they can get. And people wanting to rent will either have to live under cardboard or wait for one of the Great Reset flats to be available.
Explosions and fires on farms are now a pandemic. But, as you know, nothing now happens by accident or coincidence. The fires and explosions are to kill the animals, destroy the farms and put up the price of food.
If you live in the UK you should, of course, avoid anything broadcast by the mainstream media – and for those in doubt I believe this includes GB News and LBC. I regard them both as part of the enemy propaganda machine.
I wish people would stop talking about ‘black swan’ events as if black swans were rare birds. Here in Dawlish in Devon (sanctuary for Le Carre’s Perfect Spy) you’ll see nothing but black swans.
There haven’t been any new videos for a little while. The technical term is ‘that I’m a bit under the weather’, though the clinical term is probably ‘bored rigid with covid, vaccines, hysterical climate change psychopaths and trolls’. If you feel an urge to watch a video, take a peep at one of the old ones. Many are still available on Brand New Tube and Bitchute and this website. There are over 300 of them because three years ago we were researching, writing and recording one video a day. We spent every waking hour digging out truths and analysing the evidence. The transcripts of those videos are all in my books entitled Covid-19: The Greatest Hoax in History; Covid-19: Exposing Lies and Covid-19: The Fraud Continues. (The books were repeatedly banned so my thanks to Soren of Korsgaard Publishing for having the courage to publish them.) There are videos about the covid-19 jab which I made back in the autumn of 2020 (back before Klaus Windsor – ‘the man who would be king’ – decided that he was a god who needed to be worshipped) and in which I warned about the lies and the hazards with the toxic mRNA jabs. I pointed out that covid-19 was merely the rebranded flu and that the so-called vaccine didn’t do what the establishment said it would do. And I listed the possible side effects - proving that it wasn’t safe. That was two and a half years ago. I was widely vilified for exposing those truths and as an additional punishment, my life was pretty well ruined by the lies and the censorship in the mainstream media and on social media (from ALL of which I am banned). The problem is that I earn a living writing books and now no one will review the books I write and I am even banned from buying adverts for them. Publishers around the world refused to reprint books which had been bestsellers for years. As a result of this concerted effort, my book sales nose-dived to a fraction of what they were and will almost certainly never recover. The death threats were merely entertainment by comparison (although the attempt at a ‘hit’ by cutting two tyres of our car through to the canvas was unpleasant and expensive). The surprising thing is just how many people believe Wikipedia and its nasty little friend Google. Unbelievably, two workmen sneered and refused to do essential work on our house because they recognised my name and didn’t want to do work for someone alleged to be a conspiracy theorist. And a pharmacy refused to obtain an essential prescription medicine for my wife. It’s surprising how many morons see and believed the brazen lies from the CIA which appear on the fake encyclopaedia Wikipedia and its evil associate Google. (Check out the book ‘Essays on Free Knowledge’ by Larry Sanger, the co-founder of Wikipedia, if you don’t believe me. He has some pretty trenchant things to say about Wikipedia). I tried to sue them (and others) but no lawyer would accept me as a client – not even for ready money. No one was prepared to take on the establishment. Telling the truth isn’t terribly wise these days and ‘freedom’ and ‘rights’ are just words in old-fashioned dictionaries. Still, I keep feeding my websites with words so please keep visiting and sharing my work on all those platforms which have banned me. Thank you to all those who do, and thank you to those who buy my books.
Hydrogen is currently being sold as the fuel of the future. It is claimed that it is free of pollutants and that it will, therefore, take us happily into the world of net zero which the politicians have promised the global warming cultists. What the proponents do not mention is that hydrogen can only be produced by using fresh water (an increasingly scarce commodity) and some form of fossil fuel. The largest global use for natural gas is in the production of hydrogen. You have to laugh, don’t you?
