Not Canada but the USA Sells the Oil Tar Sands to China: A Response to the National Post
by Michael Major
Assuming Glavin would leave the tar sands un-expanded and without further direct pipeline access to pacific shipping, would he then oppose the zio-cons and support China to have terrestrial pipeline access to central asian oil?
If he would, and if his persuasion is generalized, we could quit funding Israeli belligerence, we could apologize for Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq, we could stop threatening Syria and Iran, and we could make a deal with Russia to avert WWIII.
China's need for oil is increasing as a consequence of both its expanding domestic consumption and as a result of the rapidly expanding outsourcing of industrial production to China from Europe and North America. Globalization is the principal beneficiary of increasing industrial outsourcing to China.
Rather than US interdictable tar sands oil, China's preference is for central asian oil denominated in Renminbi and delivered to China by terrestrial pipeline. But, in order to foster China's commerce as a function of globalization while constraining China's independence and geopolitical ambit, the United States wants to be able to strategically interrupt (naval blockade) China's oil supplies and it wants China's oil supplies to be denominated in US dollars. Both of these US objectives are effectively satisfied when China is persuaded to source its crude oil for supertanker shipment from western Canada.
The United States in order to further its NWO, PNAC and neoconservative objectives is conditionally supporting China's overseas logistics and investments in the tar sands expansion. The United States is subjugating non-aligned foreign nations' oil reserves which become available to it through "regime change" i.e. Iraq, Libya, Iran, Bolivia and Venezuela. The US is doing this in order to prevent China's unconstrained access to these oil sources.
Much of the geopolitics we experience today is the result of neo-conservative and US military priorities for constraining China to dollar denominated trade in overseas resources. Anything else would deflate globalization and result in generally increased national autonomy and a return to reliance on international diplomacy rather than edicts from the NWO globalization empire.
As a result of intentional US domestic economic decline involving outsourcing US industry, the US domestic demand for oil is projected to decline and the expansion of the tar sands based on presumptions about US oil demand will be replaced by increased demand only from China. Canada will have a say in the expansion and allocation of tar sands resources only when globalized oil companies tell Harper what to say.
Otherwise Canadians will have a say when they get rid of Harper, reverse his globalization initiatives and get rid of any other politicians who would work for the globalized corporate constituency.
If we intend to re-localize, de-globalize, and reconstruct both Canadian and US national self-sufficiency and reverse our environmental overshoot, then we should terminate the tar sands expansion because:
1.. the United States does not need the tar sands oil. (Inflated US projections were intended to justify the XL pipeline construction and thereby compel Canada to expand tar sands production and thereby oversupply the oil demand for geopolitical reasons and to apply downward oil price pressure. Also, the US was intent on re-exporting tar sands crude from Gulf of Mexico oil ports); and
2.. China's independence, peace, security and internal capacity to tend to its own domestic needs are met by not preventing it from having terrestrial pipeline access to central asian oil and gradually converting China's export industries into domestic industries; and
3.. Canada's own need for oil can be satisfied with conventional domestic oil and with domestic refining and shipping of existing un-expanded tar sands crude oil production for use in western, central and atlantic Canada; and
4.. the natural gas not used to expand production of tar sands oil will be available to convert very many coal fired North American power stations to less severe health and environmental impact gas fired power stations.
As environmentalists, we need to construct a political narrative of how and where political extension of our environmentalism would take us and we need to have a clear sense of how financialization, economic expansion and globalization are presently driving all politics towards the cliff edge of extreme overshoot.
