The signs of Peak Oil are all around us. And now they are showing up

close to home

 

Invade and annex Mexico to the United States

 

Mexico is the fifth largest country in the Western Hemisphere and is

rich in natural resources such as petroleum and natural gas. Mexico's

efforts to develop and modernize its economy-one of the 15 largest in

the world-have been slowed by the nation's rugged terrain, limited

farmland, a rapidly growing population, and a series of economic

crises. The potential importance of natural resources for the

livelihood of poor rural households has long been recognized but

seldom quantified and analyzed. This would not be a problem for the

United States to easily overcome.

 

The country's enormous petroleum reserves rank it among the top ten

countries in the world. Mexico is a major exporter of crude oil and

remains one of the top producers and exporters of silver, a mineral

resource that has been important since colonial times. Although

petroleum dominated the economy in the 1960s and 1970s, recent

governments have encouraged economic diversification. Manufacturing,

tourism, and assembly industries in northern Mexico are now important

sectors of the economy. Mexico's economy is also of major importance

to the United States, not only because of formal links through

economic agreements, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement

(NAFTA), but also because Mexico is one of the largest trading

partners of the United States. In turn, Mexico's largest trading

partner is the United States.

 

Besides, The Neo-Cons Could REALLY Use a New War Right Now!!

 

Mexico could be next. It's close to home and has oil

 

Q. What country should the oil terrorists in the White House invade

next?

 

A. MEXICO:

It's close to home. Lots of whore houses to serve the troops and they

could have their R&R in Crawford, Texas where they could visit their

drunken leader at the ranch.

 

Today, Mexico may be sitting on some of the world's largest oil

deposits on earth in the Chicxulub fields.

 

Oil is often the secret motive behind America's foreign policy.(Even

with Mexico)

 

The American Standard Oil Co controlled the Mexican oil production

(stole it) until Mexico nationalized their known oil assets in 1938.

Since then the big oil bandits in the US have been secretly trying to

figure how to regain the underground black gold in Mexico, the fifth

largest oil reserve on earth.

[ And Mexico's oil is conveniently right next door.]

 

A majority of Mexicans believe the United States invaded Iraq simply

to acquire its valuable oil reserves. They are also beginning to

suspect that the powers that run America have designs on Mexico's oil

as well.

 

The former President, Vicente Fox of the right wing PAN (National

Action Party) attempted to privatize Pemex, along with other public

properties, early in his administration, but has been forced by public

resistance to repeatedly declare that "Pemex is not for sale," and has

reiterated it a couple of times since May 8. Apparently not satisfied

with Fox's vehemence after the latest incident, Rosario Robles, leader

of the leftist Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) told the cowboy-boot-

wearing, macho Fox to "hitch up your trousers and defend

our petroleum."

AlterNet: It's About (Mexico's) Oil

Posted June 3, 2003. US capitalists have their sights set on Mexico's

nationalized oil wealth.

But more important. And something "Oily Dick" Cheney would be in favor

of : " Mexico is a prime target. In addition to its 1% of global

generating capacity, Mexico has two added benefits: a common border

with the United States and hugh oil and gas deposits. Mexico is the

world's fifth largest oil producer, with reserves of some 28 billion

barrels and crude oil production of about 3 million barrels a day

( compared to 21 billion and 6 million barrels, respectively for the

United States ). It exports $10.4 billion worth of oil a year, 93% of

which goes to the United States. The nation also has 30 trillion cubic

feet

of natural gas reserves...

 

"The problem in Mexico, from the standpoint of pirates, is that

energy is largely controlled by the national government. The Mexican

oil industry was nationalized in 1938, and is controlled via the

state- owned oil company, Petroleous de Mexico ( Premex )."

 

Prior to nationalization, and one of the reasons for doing so, was

because American oil companies ( Standard Oil and others ) were

stealing the oil. When the Mexican government nationalized, the US

government responded with harsh economic sanctions that hurt Mexico

to

this day.

 

Today, Mexico may be sitting on some of the world's largest oil

deposits on earth in the Chicxulub fields.

Ay, Here's the rub:

Mexico's oil is nationalized . It's part of their Constitution and

as soon as we AGAIN get control of their government and rewrite their

constitution (like in Iraq) to privatize the oil reserves, we will

have all the oil we need.

 

US politicians use immigration reform as a political tool and

bargaining chip -- or in this case, what the head of the Mexican

Catholic Church, Cardinal Norberto Rivera Carrera calls simply,

"blackmail."

 

What more could the US government do, apart from standing on the

rooftops and shouting to the four corners of the world, that when it

comes to "human rights," it is indeed, all about oil. And, one way or

another, American oil companies will get Mexico's oil

May 11, 2003, 0100 PDT (FTW) --Mexico passed its peak of oil

production in the 1980s. Its nationalized oil company, Pemex, controls

both the oil and natural gas resources of our Southern neighbor. Soon

Mexico will not have enough natural gas to meet even its own needs,

let alone exporting it to the US. As the Empire's oil reserves shrink

and as its natural gas reserves approach empty, with Canadian tar

sands development proving to be an economic and ecological disaster,

the realities of diminishing hydrocarbon energy supplies are starting

to hit home. Once more the American Empire's fig leaf is removed as

the House International Relations Committee tells Mexico, "If you want

better immigration laws, give us control of your fossil fuels." The

Sense of Congress resolution needs to be approved by both houses and

is sure to stir up a fight. But, in the context of Peak Oil, it will

be perhaps the kindest, gentlest move the Empire makes to obtain

control of Mexico's oil.

 

The argument that it's only fair because the Mexican immigrants, only

too welcome by employers seeking cheap labor, will use the energy here

don't wash. They will use far less oil and gas here than US investment

intends to appropriate through ownership.

 

The signs of Peak Oil are all around us. And now they are showing up

close to home.
