You aren't one that's much for reading evidently... It is your source, in your original post that mentions IHT, not my link which is here:
eastsouthwestandnorth.blogspot.com...
Has no link to IHT, or to any other external source.
Please remove your foot from your mouth

Your link, third paragraph:
"Of this new South America Bank we can read as reported by the
International Herald Tribune News Service"
And just what are you trying to pull here? Previously you said:
The original Sorcha Faal article that you copy and pasted... Errr... Quoted, made no reference to the IHT or any other source.
But you
just said:
You aren't one that's much for reading evidently... It is your source, in your original post that mentions IHT, not my link
So, which one is it? Is it not in the original link, or is it? I can't really tell because you are saying it's in both, it's very confusing. I
don't know what you mean when you first say, "The original Sorcha Faal article that you copy and pasted ... made no reference to the IHT or any
other source." and then you turn around and say, "It is your source, in your original post that mentions IHT."
*scratches head*
As you said, I must be
reading it wrong, eveidently.
As for the infoplease.com link, if you had bothered to look at the chart, you would have seen the link to the DoE page that has the chart in it's
entirety... Here it is:
www.eia.doe.gov...
Please note, that the DoE does not give Venezuela an estimate anywhere near 1.3 trillion barrels.
Because if you read the bottom of that chart, it explains that that is only a list for crude oil - not tar oil. Naturally, it is going to omit the 1.3
trillion barrels of tar oil talked about in the articles.
Infoplease.com merely provides a simplified breakdown of detailed statistics... I see their simplification in this particular case failed to
facilitate your edification.
Yes, a simplifaction of facts that have nothing to do with reality.
It's Sorcha Faal... And as demonstrated by your utter lack of due diligence and attention to detail, the dissemenation of accurate
information, and the assessment of the same appears to be beyond the scope of this thread.
Ah, utter lack of detail, such as not noticing that the link you posted had nothing to do with tar oil? Or maybe it was that part where you
flip-floped over who's link contained the reference to IHT?
Sorry, I do not know who Sorcha Faal is - so I'm not operating from a biased position - but as from this article, he seems to be pretty accurate, at
least more accurate that someone I know.
I would also point out that the one chart from runet.edu is for "unconventional oil reserves" which is the moral equivalent of calling loose change
under the sofa pillows a "retirement fund."
Come now, we both know that once the heavy oil is extracted it will be converted into synthetic oil by oil upgraders, or duly refined into petroleum.
All 1.3 Trillion barrels of it.
Thanks for playing. You might want to check your shoe laces - I think they are tied together!

*nudge nudge*
