Rob Kirby is a financial commentator and former broker who worked on an institutional trading desk for most of the 1980s and right up until 1996. He also worked for 11 years at Prebon Yamane, an international inter-dealer broker of foreign exchange and interest rate products. He spent an additional year at another money/bond broker called Freedom Bond Brokers, then spent two years at Garban Inc., another inter dealer bond brokerage in Toronto – and left the industry in 1996. He started writing in 1997, and was involved in a number of entrepreneurial pursuits from marketing Buffalo meat to a part time stint in the giftware business. In 2002, he went to work for Investor’s Group, the largest Mutual Fund Company in Canada. He worked there up until September ’04 when he resigned to write about the markets – and his book – from a “gold bug’s” point of view. His website is called Kirby Analytics.
There are some important error’s in Rob Kirby’s commentary. First of all, the US does NOT consume 20.5 million barrels of oil per day. The US consumes 20.5 million barrels of oil AND petroleum products per day. And these petroleum products include ethanol, bio-fuels, ethane, propane, butane and so on. Of that 20.5 million barrels per day, the US produces (best I can determine) nearly 17 million barrels per day. The rest is made up in imports, which usually means refined products such as gasoline, engine oil and so on. As it is, The US is largely free of having to rely on other countries for its energy needs. Needing motor oil though is another matter.
Also, there is this constant blaming of the US for all these problems. The trouble is, all of this is being orchestrated by the brain if the globalist cabal, which operates out of London. This is how psychopaths work – they get others to take the blame for what they are doing so they can appear innocent.
