There is presently a technically sophisticated project underway by a consortium of USA and Anglo oil companies that will syphon off vast amounts of Mexico's oil that lies underneath the Gulf of Mexico. Through a huge offshore oil platform strategically constructed adjacent to an immense Mexican oil field, Chevron , Shell and British Petroleum will be syphoning over 100,000 barrels of oil per day that rightfully belongs to the people of Mexico. At the current price of oil of $138/barrel, the theft will amount to approximately 167 million dollars per year. Please refer to graphic detailing this sinister plan at left.
There appears to be no limit to the greed of oil company giants. What they can not conquer through military aggression, as in Iraq, they will obtain through common thievery. The thievery by Chevron , Shell and British Petroleum of Mexico's oil is no different than if your neighbor siphoned and stole your gasoline from your automobile. There has to be, and if not there should be, an international law against this type of larceny.
Mexico has to move fast in order to protect its oil resources. Firstly, under no circumstances should it allow its Constitution to be amended to allow the privatization of Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX). This will only lead to the further theft of its oil by foreign interests. Secondly, it must completely change the management of PEMEX. There is absolutely no reason why PEMEX engineers can not exploit its own deep Gulf of Mexico oil fields. And thirdly, Mexico must file a legal complaint in an international court of law to stop Chevron , Shell and British Petroleum from completing and operating the offshore oil platform designed to steal its oil.
The "Perdido Project" floating oil platfrom is readied
to start siphoning Mexico's oil as early as next year.
"Perdido" in Spanish means "lost", a name chosen
by the oil thieves probably to further insult Mexico.
