The Mysterious Origins of Oil “evolutionary principle" and Russia finally 23. Habermas, J., Theorie des kommunikativen subdued the Ukraine and gained control over Handelns ("Theory of Communicative “evolutionary principle" and Russia finally subdued the Ukraine and gained control over the oil-rich region of the Caucasus (and in the process caused the exodus of millions of Askhenazi Jews, which resulted in the "Jewish problem" of Europe). 21. This is not a singularity: in 1952, the Urey—Miller process, where a mix of methane, water vapour and other gases thought to have been prevalent in the primordial atmosphere was subjected to electrical discharges, resulted in deposits of amino acid—like substances. This was considered proof for the "origin of life" on Earth. That not all of the necessary “building blocks of life" were formed in this way made the concept unworkable, and most damning was the fact that all those constructs were dextro-rotary, while all such organic for- mations are levo-rotary! As this would have utterly destroyed "the story", it was hardly ever reported! 22. In August 2002, Simon Steward (BP, Aberdeen) and Philip Allen (Production Geoscience, Banchory) reported in Nature (418:520, 2002) that some 140 kilometres east of the mouth of the Humber River in England lies an impact structure, christened "Silverpit", which was created some 60 to 65 million years ago in the North Sea (simultaneously with the Chicxulub structure off the Yucatan peninsula which is held responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs). 23.

The manifest idiocy of genetic engineering would never have come to be if democratic principles had been at work. Would a medical doctor (being cognisant of his Hippocratic oath) ever let a bioengineer loose? Cana mathematician, in the knowledge of Gédel's theorem, ever be sure? This list could be extended ad infinitum or ad absurdum... 25. Deffeyes, K.S., Hubbert's Peak: The Impending World Oil Shortage, Princeton University Press, ISBN 0-6910-9086-6, 2001. 26. Depleted uranium (DU) in armour-pierc- ing ammunition externalises elegantly one of the cost factors of nuclear power generation: natural uranium ore is 96% 238U; only the meagre rest is the highly radioactive (and fis- sionable) 235U. The enrichment leaves the useless 238U, an alpha-ray emitter with a half- life of some 4.5 billion years, as highly danger- ous toxic waste. The high atomic weight ren- ders 238U ideally suited as tipping for tank- buster weaponry. Tungsten would serve the same purpose, but it is not freely available as waste. 27. That was the Larry King Live epoch when DNA was of interest only in terms of blood on fences (from OJS?) or stains on Monica's blue dress (from WJC?). thinking under mountains of alpha-numeric data, the prohibition of creativity by the force of the canon sometimes permit haphazardly outstanding achievements—which mostly, however, just hide the fact that they are based on naught."

Some 50 years earlier, Sergyei Nilus deposited the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion with the British Museum. They postulate that the Goyim (non-Jews) are not led by the practical use of unbiased historical review, but follow theoretical routines without critical appreciation of consequent results.
