When I researched the uptake of algae into the biofuels regime I find an odious smell – “big oil” is frustrating the initiatives!

“Big oil” are the “fat cats” with established involvement in the oil industry – they have held sway for too long and their tentacles reach into every branch of the establishment. I don’t think it coincidental that we are finding energy alternatives have languished for many years. I also find it hard to accept that years after the Exxon Valdez wrought massive environmental destruction that the punitive fine on the company was a pittance. I believe more that those shores were “greased” – a lot of palms were too! Given the huge resources of the company and the years taken to resolve, Exxon simply could walk away from the issue with a token rebuke. The environment and livelihood of many in the destroyed area will take generations to slowly recover – if they ever do!

As huge trade and financial blocs become entrenched the very real threat of World Government looms – then, as in the oil industry, the World community will be like pawns in a big “game” by a few influential families. These power brokers work in the shadows “pulling the strings” of insipid politicians. Dismiss the thought that politicians hold the power – they are under the orders of those pushing selfish interest. You won’t elect them, they are too smart for that – they have the resources and clout to call the shots from the relative safety of their secure retreats.

It’s time the public woke-up – we are being used – and sacrificed in the name of big business!
