Has World War Three Just Begun? Bolivia seizes natural gas fields
Make no mistake. The next world war will be over the control of natural resources, specifically natural gas and the black gold, that's right folks, Texas T - oil. Giant companies like Exxon are reaping huge profits at the expense of consumers everywhere around the world. This problem only masks the larger problem that is coming to a head.... finite resources and an almost unlimited growth outlook for the world population, especially in the developing third world economies. The world population is expected to peak at 9 billion.... according to optomistic experts and this number is the max number that Earth can sustain without drying up and turning into Mars.
We have a long way to get to 9 billion, and who is gonna control the oil and natural gas to get there? Increasing global demand coupled with dwindling supplies spells danger according to any futurist's outlook. And now.... look at what the President of Bolivia decided to do:
Evo Morales, President of Bolivia, has ordered that all foreign owned natural gas fields be turned over to the country. Some of the companies include, the United States based Exxon Mobil Corporation, Brazil's Petroleo Brasileiro SA, Spanish-Argentine Repsol YPF SA and Great Britain's BG Group PLC and BP PLC.
President Morales signed a decree that orders troops to seize the fields "immediately" to ensure gas production. The decree also says that companies have 180 days to sign over their fields, or leave the country.
"The looting by the foreign companies has ended. We are not a government of mere promises, we follow through on what we propose and what the people demand. We want to ask (the Armed Forces) that starting now, they occupy all the energy fields in Bolivia along with battalions of engineers," said Mr Morales after signing the decree.
"The time has come, the awaited day, a historic day in which Bolivia retakes absolute control of our natural resources," added President Morales.
