Fletcher Prouty Explains Invention and Use of Term 'Fossil Fuels'

Col. Prouty spent 9 of his 23-year military career in the Pentagon (1955-1964): 2 years with the Secretary of Defense, 2 years with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and 5 years with Headquarters, U.S. Air Force. In 1955 he was appointed the first "Focal Point" officer between the CIA and the Air Force for Clandestine Operations per National Security Council Directive 5412. He was Briefing Officer for the Secretary of Defense (1960-1961), and for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

You can start by searching the words "abiotic oil." This will lead you to an enormous amount of literature and other materials on the subject.

To cut to the chase, you can do a search for the two books written by Jerome Corsi ("Black Gold Stranglehold" and "The Great Oil Conspiracy"), and the book by Thomas Gold "The Deep Hot Biosphere."

A couple of videos on the subject are:

But I suggest that you do the long research for yourself by searching "abiotic oil."

There are a couple of so-called "fact-checking" efforts to debunk the Rockefeller-related hypotheses made by Fletcher Prouty, Thomas Gold, Jerome Corsi, a few different Russian and German scientists, and me - among other journalists and commentators. These debunking efforts revolve around the earlier use of the term "fossil fuels" - in a translation from a German language book written by Caspar Neumann in the mid-18th century. Therefore, they argue that the general term "fossil fuels" could not have been coined by John Rockefeller or anyone at Standard Oil, since the book was published before Rockefeller was born.

The term "Fossil Fuel," in the context of referring to a fuel that powers a mechanical engine, was not coined by Caspar Neumann in the mid-18th century, it was coined sometime in the late 19th or early 20th century. It may not have been specifically uttered by John Rockefeller in a "Citizen Kane ROSE BUD" style incident, it may have been first used by one of his associates or just some unidentified chronicler at the time.

In the instance of this video, and in all discussions of the use of the term "fossil fuels" referring to petroleum oil, it is incorrect to call petroleum oil a "fossil fuel" for the reasons stated in the Prouty video and the other materials that I reference above. Prouty's explanation, for example, refers to the hyperbolic use of the term fossil fuel to exaggerate petroleum oil's limited availability. The oil industry was always the originator of the rumors that the world is running out of oil, and they did so in order to manipulate supply and demand, and oil prices.

In any event, petroleum oil fuels are not naturally created, they are refined from crude oil and contain many different chemicals. To my knowledge, none of these chemicals exist because of the demise of dinosaurs. Petroleum oil (crude oil) in its raw state is of "abiotic" origin.

Yes, we are not running out of oil. Oil is a natural mineral that Earth produces constantly. We will never run out of it. The only things we are running out of in this world are honesty, integrity and truth!

23 years I drilled for oil all over and not once did any geologist ever call it a fossil fuel. It’s a mineral and there is so much of it. We did core samples in southern Saskatchewan in Canada and had tens of meters of oil soaked cores. I’m talking sweet light crude. Think of that to drill 4000 meters straight down and for 100’s of meters it’s nothing but oil. That’s a lot. But nothing was said they boxed it up and we cemented the well moved the rig off they cut the casing and buried it. Makes you wonder why…cause there is more oil than you can possibly imagine under our feet.

[anthonyedwards]

I am 70 now and for the last 40 years I have tried to tell everyone I know that petroleum is not fossil fuel. “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust” and the depth of petroleum wells, etc. Follow the money! Every person on earth needs to see this video now.

I used to be a bodyguard in Iraq, one of the companies I looked after was an oil field mapping company called WesternGeco. They would drill explosives into the ground and lay out microphones on the surface. Once detonated the shock waves from the explosives would come back up and be picked up on the microphones. The difference in speed the shock waves travelled at would give an indication of the composition of the rock etc. One of the lead engineers told me that the pocket of oil went 10 miles down and that at current rates it would take us hundreds and hundreds if not thousands of years to use all the oil on earth

"These are not accidental things. there is a dollar sign behind almost anything." The take away quote of this piece.

[erocoptics]

I worked at a gas station pumping gas for people during the Carter years.
They say there was a shortage and we went to the beach in Galveston there was tankers stacked up waiting to get in.
We have been lied to about so many things blow your mind

Oil Companies would have been first to develop cleaner sources of energy if the supply of oil was depleting at a concerning rate.

Leroy Fletcher Prouty (January 24, 1917 – June 5, 2001)[1] served as Chief of Special Operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President John F. Kennedy. A former colonel in the United States Air Force, he retired from military service to become a bank executive. He subsequently became a critic of U.S. foreign policy, particularly the covert activities of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), about which he had considerable inside knowledge.

Prouty was the inspiration for the character "Mr. X" in Oliver Stone's film JFK.[2]

I've heard similar stories about diamonds being as common as lumps of coal. But diamond mines collected and hid all the diamoinds lying on the ground to hide them in store houses and give the impression that diamonds - which are very beautiful when polished - are scarce.

[lordbayne]

John Catsimatidis, Chairman and CEO of United Refining Company admits (in Apr 2022 interview) that oil is essentially infinite and produced by the earth. That the notion that it is non-renewable is a scarcity tactic.

[leonardodeoleo]

Man I wish I could find an archive full of videos like this.

[jackwalker]

L. Fletcher Prouty was a very brave man. Very intelligent, very good observer, and able to connect the dots more than most people. Reading his book on JFK, the CIA and the Vietnam War changed my outlook on life.

Also it is kind of funny, when I was in college studying Industrial Engineering, maybe it was an economics class, I'm not sure, but the professor proceeded to teach us all of the algorithms that people came up with to determine pricing of products. Maybe a lot of PHD theses, I don't know their origin. When he got done going through all of the algorithms, he then told us, "You can forget all of that because pricing of products is really quite simple. You charge what you can get." Never forgot that.

[AnbroBR]

Thank you very much for this video. I have read a couple of Mr. Prouty's books and in my opinion, he was a very honorable man. We need more men like him in this world today but unfortunately, they are in very short supply.

Thank you.

In 2019 I was working in Houston TX, i was in the elevador and I started a conversation with this guy. He said he was a chemical engineer for one oil company. I ask him if we are running out of oil. He smiled and said "no, there is an immense amount of oil still".

[terencemckenna]

He was a VERY VERY BRAVE MAN! We need a million more like him tiday..he was a REAL MAN!

[GhostRanger]

I read his book, The Secret Team, years ago and highly recommend it. The original edition is almost impossible to come by. The reprint is a shadow of the original but still hard hitting. I can testify from personal experience that his "Secret Team" conspiracy (aka the Deep State) is reality. Because I worked in the same kind of jobs he did and saw all of his "conspiracy theories" acted out as US policy in the DOD. Meanwhile, all the naysayers who only watch and believe what they see on TV call people like Col. Prouty (and by extension, people like me) "conspiracy nuts." Well he is a smarter nut than the "wise fools" who a spew back the nonsense messaging they get from the Main Stream Media.

[Indylimburg]

I remember learning about "fossil fuels" in elementary school and told my grandpa who was a chemical engineer about it. He said "What a load of crap! There's no way there were enough plants and animals to create all that oil. And if there was, how did it get thousands of feet below the ocean?" He believed oil is a byproduct of the Mantle that gets pushed up into the crust and is basically renewable energy.

Don't forget Sinclair Oil used a dinosaur as it's logo. Anytime a Rockefeller's behind something you know it's not good.

[gangoffour]

A man who only knew truth and honor. Also a great patriot.
