Oil, Smoke and Mirrors, a
recently released, 50-minute documentary by Dubliner Ronan Doyle,
averaged a Five Star Rating by many earliest viewers. Through remarkably
candid and explanatory interviews with an array of experts, it examines
what is as yet little understood by the public: Likely connections among
a) the rapidly diminishing global oil supply, b) the attacks of
9/11/2001, and c) the so-called "war on terror". It explores how, while
oil availability is decreasing, various demands for oil are rising, some
even accelerating. And the post "peak oil" problem will be perpetual and
intensifying as competition stiffens for ever more scarce resources.
Hypotheses which several analysts here say deserve public airing and
in-depth evidence testing are that powerful partisan interests have been
fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq for more control of Middle East oil
resources -- and in nefarious ways involving the 9/11 attacks and the
touted "war on terrorism".
