WWIII, the Resource War
http://www.darkgovernment.com/
Yes, WWIII: The Great Commodities War to End All Wars. We’ve heard that
before. Remember WWI, known as The War to End All Wars, 37 million casualties.
WWII was bigger, 60 million. Will WWIII finally end all wars? Or end the world,
civilization, planet?
And it’s already started folks, ending the Great American Dream.
Fasten your seat belts, soon we’ll all be shocked out of denial. Some
unpredictable black swan. A global wake-up call will trigger the Pentagon’s
prediction in Fortune a decade ago at the launch of the Iraq War: “By 2020 ...
an ancient pattern of desperate, all-out wars over food, water, and energy
supplies is emerging ... warfare defining human life.”
And that’s also the clear message in “The Race for What’s Left: The Global
Scramble for the World’s Last Resources,” the latest book by noted
international security expert Michael Klare.
Earlier, about the same time as the Pentagon’s prediction, Klare published his
classic, “Resource Wars: The New Landscape of Global Conflict,” a look ahead
to a world that he now hopes will not “end in war, widespread starvation, or a
massive environmental catastrophe.” Although they are “the probable results
of persisting in the race for what’s left.” Unfortunately, hope can’t
trump reality in today’s race for what little is left.
We need men who pull no punches in describing what’s dead ahead, whether
labeling it “Resource Wars” or “WWIII, The Great Commodities War That Can
End Everything.” Klare does just that with this warning:
“It is true that eliminating our dependence on fossil fuels and other finite
materials cannot be accomplished overnight — our current reliance on them is
just too great,” warns Klare, well aware that the forces of capitalism are
trapped in denial, cannot see the dangers dead ahead, focusing only on getting
richer no matter the consequences to the planet.
“But no matter how much corporate or government officials wish to deny it,
there is not nearly enough non-renewable resources on this planet to perpetually
satisfy the growing needs of a ballooning world population.”
