China Follow-Up, Energy, and the Future
by Chris MartensonIn the most recent Martenson Report, I laid the foundation for understanding that China may be on an aggressive policy of resource acquisition tuned to the reality of depletion.
Here are a couple of very interesting ideas and news items that have come out. The first is that the US government is now publicly concerned that China may be trying to “lock up” oil reserves. I find this somewhat humorous because this message is conveyed without the slightest trace of irony. This, of course, has been the US’s own policy for a very long time.

Resource Wars
by Chris MartensonThis is a must-read article. It shows that the big money, and what I consider to be the long-term smart money, is moving aggressively towards locking up the last remaining critical resources on the planet. This article centers on crop land, but it could just as easily center on critical mineral resources. Or oil.
