The following two articles both allege that the peak oil hypothesis is a myth propogated for Isreali zionist interests:
Russia Proves ‘Peak Oil’ is a Misleading Zionist Scam
By Joe Vialls, self published, 25 August 2004
Campbell is just the tip of a giant iceberg of academic Peak Oil ‘experts’ who suddenly appeared en-masse to give you this frightening news, right after President Saddam Hussein suddenly started trading his oil in Euros rather than in US Dollars, a devastating switch with the easy capacity to destroy the US Dollar in less than five years if it was left unchallenged and unchecked.
So these shills [decoys] were carefully positioned to deflect your attention away from the obvious greed and incompetence of the United States Government and its Wall Street masters, and focus it elsewhere instead.
[…]
‘Peak Oil’ claims that because today we only find one barrel of oil for every four that we use, world oil reserves are running out. Completely misleading propaganda. as the Russians [and the CIA] know perfectly well, reserves of oil in the mantle of the earth are infinite. ‘Peak Oil’ also claims that we will shortly be unable to pump sufficient oil out of the ground to keep up with demand. Completely misleading propaganda again. We could drill more wells, but Wall Street cannot afford to pay for them, and never intended to, at least not while it still believed conquest and eternal occupation of the Middle East was a realistic possibility.
From my scanning of Viall’s previous work he seems quite skilled at mixing some verifiable facts with some misleading but sometimes (and sometimes not) fairly plausible sounding conjecture. The later is generally unreferenced but sounding quite authoritative, because of its supposed basis in Viall’s personal experience or direct intelligence tip offs. This piece is no exception. The reference to the battle between Euro’s and US dollars is a genuine issue. Richard Heinberg for instance, one of our favourite writers at this site, also concludes that this is one of the most compelling reasons for the US invasion of Iraq. Vialls however then makes the unreferenced claim that the problem of lowered production from existing reserves is related not to fundamental depletion, but to a clogging up of the sandstone pores by contaminants. All we need is to unclog the pores and production starts at full pressure again. This argument rings pretty hollow to me, but is presented as scientific truth. -AF

The Secret Relationship Between Israel and Oil: What the US Media Hides
By Wendy Campbell, Al-Jazeerah, 6 October 2004
Is it a coincidence that Dr. Campbell is “suddenly influential”? No, it is not. Even the Wall Street Journal is playing into the game of making Dr. Campbell “suddenly influential” with this article.
Why is the US media pushing Dr. Campbell, a man who lives in a tiny Irish village, into the limelight? Because the media, which is run by pro-Israel forces, want people like Dr. Campbell to be in the limelight is why.
And you may ask, why is that? Well, because Dr. Campbell’s views help support the pro-Israel agenda of that other “suddenly influential band of contrarians”, known as the NeoConservatives. The NeoConservatives are mostly Zionist Jews, headed by Paul Wolfowitz, who qualify as Israeli-Americans, and who are now openly directing US foreign policy almost completely. Christian Zionists such as Bush and Cheney have jumped on their bandwagon. Of course, it looks even more convincing when a non-Jew such as Dr. Campbell, puts forward claims that will lend support to the pro-Israel agenda.
Wendy Campbell’s argument is essentially that if a perception of oil scarcity can be used to create internal US support for military aggression against Arab states in the Middle East, then it should be obvious that the whole peak oil issue has been promoted by Zionist powers to that end. Wendy Campbell documents many of the injustices caused by Israel but presents no particular evidence regarding the peak oil connection, nor is any attempt made to address the possibility that oil production may actually be about to peak. A very disappointing article. -AF
