Greek translation: μετάφραση ΕΔΩ.

A couple of days ago, president Bush has officially confirmed that Peak Oil is REAL.

• Well, President Bush is an honest man; a man of God: He recently admitted authorizing torture (see the related post -here).
  

• Now, Mr. Bush admits that PeakOil is REAL!

Till now, those people who warned about the immanent Oil crisis were being dismissed as conspiracy theorists, or (at least) as unrealistic pessimists. It now appears that the situation is as bad as predicted by pessimists like Jim Kunstler.

Here is the original news article:

• Peak oil at Bush press conference (EnergyBulletin.net)

Most Important Quotes from George Bush, April 29, 2008:

…One of the main reasons for high gas prices is that global oil production is not keeping up with growing demand.

…I think we better understand that there’s not a lot of excess capacity in this world right now.

…demand is rising faster than supply. And that’s why you’re seeing global energy prices rise.

…But there is no magic wand to wave right now….

English version of this post: Peak Oil Crisis OFFICIALLY confirmed by Mr. Bush

Πριν δύο μέρες, ο πρόεδρος Μπους παραδέχτηκε επίσημα ότι η Κρίση του PeakOil είναι ΑΛΗΘΙΝΗ.

• Ε, ο πρόεδρος Μπους είναι ένας τίμιος… άνθρωπος του Θεού: -Πρόσφατα παραδέχτηκε ότι εξουσιοδότησε βασανιστήρια (δείτε το σχετικό ποστ εδώ).
  

• Τώρα, ο κ. Μπους παραδέχεται ότι το PeakOil είναι ΑΛΗΘΙΝΟ!

• (ΜΟΝΟ στα Ελληνικά: Από μικρό και κουζουλό …πρόεδρο μαθαίνεις την αλήθεια)
  

Μέχρι τώρα, όσοι προειδοποιούσαν για την επικείμενη Κρίση Πετρελαίου αναπηρώνονταν σαν συνομωσιολόγοι, ή (τουλάχιστον) σαν μη-ρεαλιστές απαισιόδοξοι. Τώρα φαίνεται πως η κατάσταση είναι τόσο άσχημη όσο πρόβλεπαν πεσσιμιστές όπως ο Jim Kunstler.

Ορίστε η αρχική είδηση:

• Peak oil at Bush press conference (EnergyBulletin.net)

Οι σημαντικότερες δηλώσεις του προέδρου (29 Απριλίου 2008):

…Ένας από τους κύριους λόγους για τις υψηλές τιμές βενζίνης είναι το ότι η παγκόσμια παραγωγή πετρελαίου δεν καταφέρνει να ικανοποιήσει την αυξανόμενη ζήτηση.

…Νομίζω ότι καλά θα κάνουμε να καταλάβουμε ότι δεν υπάρχει μεγάλο αποθεματικό δυναμικό (πετρελαίου) στον κόσμο, αυτή τη στιγμή.

...Η ζήτηση αυξάνει γρηγορότερα από την προσφορά. Και γι’ αυτό βλέπουμε τις παγκόσμιες τιμές της ενέργειας να ανεβαίνουν.

…Αλλά δεν υπάρχει μαγικό ραβδί, αυτή τη στιγμή…

41 years after the Greek Junta (21st of April 1967) Mr. Bush admits authorizing use of Torture (2008) 21/04/2008

UPDATE:

• Here is the latest AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL advert against Waterboarding, a form of severe Torture:

President Bush face-making (in a presidential debate)

Democracy is certainly NOT defined solely as the existence of temporary outlets for expressing preferences (such as “free elections”) about who will be the next… multi-year-rule temporary dictator. On the contrary…

• Perhaps the most elementary characteristic of Democracy, the absolute prerequisite for ANY democracy, is freedom from torture; i.e. freedom from threats and abuses against basic Human Rights;

• The right of ANY person NOT to be tortured is the most FUNDAMENTAL Human Right.

• In this respect, as Europeans we should send our CONDOLENCES to the American People, for the DEATH OF HUMAN RIGHTS in their country:
  

• President Bush recently admitted that he authorised the use of TORTURE (such as the severe torture of “waterboarding”)

Here is a recent ABC news-clip, titled “ABC News Puts Order To Torture Inside The Oval Office”

• If you think Mr. Bush didn’t approve of torture itself, but only of “enhanced interrogation methods“, then take a look at this video (about the torture-technique of Near-Drowning, or waterboarding):

YouTube – *WATERBOARDING 101* ~OLBERMANN

However, the BEST youtube News=bulletin (full of useful Data) is the following AMATEUR news-clip:
