Oaks, petroleum fertilizer and Haiti

Here is part of article from Common Dreams that talks about support of coup in Venezuala by Bush admin;

"The Bush administration should restrain itself from its imperial arrogance that has so alienated countries around the world. Their contempt for the United Nations in the dash to war with Iraq; their support of the coup in Venezuela in April 2002, and the continuing hostility toward President Chavez; the pressure on nations of the world to exempt the US from the International Criminal Court, now joined by their contemptuous attitude toward President Aristide must be halted. It is time for the people of the USA to make this point clear even if the administration continues to walk around with wax in its collective ears, with eyes closed, and ranting about its version of the world as defined by Bush."

What do Venezuala and other countries near the Gulf of Mexico have in common?

Petroleum (natural gas in Bolivia) deposits either offshore or underground, mostly a result of thousands of years sediment deposits from rivers entering Gulf of Mexico. Watch 4 any developments with Mexico's PEMEX corporation and possible merger with US Exxonmobil or other petroleum corporation. Columbia is on other side but the rivers pretty much deposit sediments (food 4 oil producing plankton) offshore in del mar de Pacifico tambien..

Iraq, Iran and Syria also have underground oil reserves, the obvious reason to most of the world that Bush invaded Iraq and possibly plans to invade Syria. The faulting and compression of the Arabian plate make the underground oil collect in deep pockets, making extraction easier..

If a democrat comes into office (or not) there seems to be a shift in the increased militarization of del mar de Caribe, cerca de Venezuala/Bolivia. Occidental Petroleum (see Al Gore) seems to have an interest in this Central american market. Haiti is a strategic position 4 long term military occupation of the region. Also the heat is off Iraq 4 a while.

America is a nation addicted to petroleum, fuel 4 autos, plastics, fertilizers, pesticides/herbicides, etc are all derived from petroleum. What the petrochemical monopoly doesn't want u 2 know is we have alternatives..

since we cannot cover all the above dependencies at once, lets deal with agribusiness and petroleum derived fertilizer. Nitrogen is added to soils by the process of nitrogen fixation, this synthetic fertilizer is made by using energy to convert atmospheric N2 to ammonia. This same process can be performed by legumes (clover, lentils, etc) and their symbiotic root bacteria "Rhizobia"..

other minerals and organic matter could be replaced by the Sacramento valley native oak trees. Oak roots strech deep into the ground and bring all sorts of good minerals up into their leaves (iron, magnesium). When their leaves fall and decompose, the minerals slowly percolate downwards into the next (B horizon) layer of soil, available for small plant (food crop) uptake..

Unfortuneately the large agribusiness of the Sac valley have cut down all the oaks 4 their monoculture fields. Now there is nothing to add minerals and moisture to the land, so river water is diverted and fertilizer/pesticide is manufactured from petroleum..

We could restore California's native oaks and reduce our dependency on petroleum, which we'll need 2 do anyway since its gonna run out. By reducing dependency on petroleum, we could prevent all these global petroleum wars that cause untold suffering and oppression of people worldwide..
