"I heartily recommend this documentary. It should be watched by every citizen of the U.S." - Dale Allen Pfeiffer. Author "Eating Fossil Fuels". Please visit: http://oilsmokeandmirrors.com/ and purchase a copy of the DVD or send the producers of this film a donation, to help support future productions of this caliber in the future.

"Oil Smoke & Mirrors" offers a sobering critique of our perceived recent history, of our present global circumstances, and of our shared future in light of imminent, under-reported and mis-represented energy production constraints.

Through a series of impressively candid, informed and articulate interviews, this film argues that the bizzare events surrounding the 9/11 attacks, and the equally bizzare prosecution of the so-called "war on terror", can be more credibly understood in the wider context of an imminent and critical divergence between available global oil aupply and and global oil demand.

The picture "Oil, Smoke & Mirrors" paints is one of a tragically hyper-mediated global-political culture, which, for whatever reason, demonstrably disassociates itself from the values it claims to represent.

While the ideas presented in this film can at first seem daunting, it's ultimate assertion is that these challenges can indeed be met and surpassed, if, but only if, we can find the courage to perceive them.

"Oil, Smoke & Mirrors" is an independent production. The producer has neither association with, nor membership of, any political organisation.

A great article I read in Boston Bimmer Magazine:

(This guy knows his stuff)

Absolutely you must read a book called "The Prize" - By Daniel Yergin
I am going to try to upload the PBS documentary here to YouTube for education purposes, but otherwise you can find it posted on Disclose.tv Just search for "The History of Oil Money Power and Corruption"

  • @thkelly67 Not true. The problem is the market alocates resources to those most able to pay, not those most in need. As an example. With less oil, do you want the remaining oil used for food production, or emergency services, or rich people in SUV's who can afford it.

    Secondly, the market keeps people addicted to oil. As the economy improves the oil price rises, causing a downturn, then the oil price falls, keeping people addicted to oil, then we dont move away from oil addiction.

  • Great documentary! Big thanks to those who made it and those who posted it. When you see the revolutions in ME/N Africa it all starts to make sense. People everywhere have an obligation to extend this knowledge to all their friends and family regardless of the ridicule they may face. We need brave soldiers of truth with strong voices and big hearts, NOT shrinking violets. Don't worry about losing your job, house, car - its going anyway!

    Better dead than smeg!

  • This documentary presents the thesis of Richard Heinberg, based on his gut conviction that those who orchestrated 9/11 as a pretext for war in the Middle East werre primarily concerned by Peak Oil. But it gives no evidence of that. Oil companies are against wars, they just want stable relationships. Even Cheney was opposed to the war in Irak, when CEO of Halliburton. To understand the motives behind 9/11, better read Mearsheimer & Walt's book on "the Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy".

  • @claudelebel55 man found out by who? again by who if the state is involved? the media? who owns the media? those who put in power the goverment, how come on internet ron paul is king everybody is speaking highly about him ,and on tv he is nowone ,nowone even mentions him ,he's a joke ,so who is going to found out ,and how can he spread the truth about what he found out? if you actualy videotape alines how can you convince the world if the goverment doesn't want the people to know

  • @KrunchyJD well high oil price are suposed to give incentives to those who research other methods of reaching the same result with other resources ,unfortunately because reserves are concentrated in a few hans the owners do everything that alternatives are not developed and they have increasingly more power to do that ,everybody knows that the most profitable part of the oil bussiness is when oil is in short supply that's why big oil companies have a lot of patatents on new technology

  • @Talltrees84 I think as the scenarios become more plausible they become more plausible! ;-). People in power [at any level with in a peer group]will look for precedents that allow them to enact their agendas. including seeing what they want to see, ie self delusion. Self delusional "confirmation" can happen to interested parties on both sides of a argument over the meaning of historical events. Weird co-incidences do happen.

    The popes of conspiracy thinking were also enabled that day.

  • @mididoctors If a flood wipes out the home you never wanted and you benefited from the insurance proceeds does that mean you caused the flood just because it went in your favor. The Truther Community is divided into two camps: "Let it happen" and "Make it Happen." There is a third option, official incompetence.

    What makes Truther's claims credible to some is that the government has used incidents like this to go to war. USS Maine prior to the Spanish-American War. Gulf of Tonkin incident.

  • I am willing to entertain the notion that the events of 911 were hijacked by a wider agenda concerned with oil depletion. But I find it harder to believe someone wired up the WTC to implode ahead of time.

  • take kare what u take in tha trip

  • to late, have a nice journey together ! u're afraid ? of what ?
