Someone shared this on my facebook:
Stating that the American government stole $5,000,000,000,000 (five trillion) dollars worth of oil and gold from Iraq. I debunked it with this.
My comments to someone that recently shared this:
"This has been debunked a hundred times. To even get to an EXACT divide of gold and oil, which would be 25 trillion dollars worth of gold, it would mean 1619227615.47lbs of gold was stolen from Iraq. That would mean that the amount of gold kept in Fort Knox was stolen FORTY TIMES. This just isn't feasible. I won't even get into the oil theft, because that makes equally little sense.
"All around the world there is war and genocide for gold, oil, drugs and other natural resources and all of it goes back to the Rothschilds, Vatican, Royals and Bankers"
This should have put you off.
Not a single one of these sources are valid or reliable.
Let's also note that the amount of gold IN THE WORLD is currently at 171,300 tonnes. This post accuses the US of stealing 734,469 tonnes.
A barrel of crude oil is currently worth $41 dollars. The US would have to have stolen at least 609,756,097,561 barrels of Oil. Once again. Not feasible.
To make this clearer, a barrel of crude oil is 158.987 litres.
It only takes 7.33 barrels of oil to hit a metric ton. That means the weight of those barrels would have been 83,186,370,745 metric tons. To move the oil alone, with the use of the period correct transportation helicopter used by the US, the Sikorski Sea Stallion, would take 4,753,506,900 trips.
The distance between the US (Los Angeles) and Iraq (Basra) is 6659 nautical miles. That would mean 67 refuels of a Sea Stallion just to get home to the US, assuming planes weren't used to keep it "secret" and "covert". A single fuel tank for the Sea Stallion is 2,277 gallons. This means 521 barrels of oil (approx.) go into the full re-fuelling of a Sea Stallion. This means to fly as much oil as possible (one of the 4,753,506,900 trips), refuelling would take 34899 barrels of oil.
There you have it, completely de-bunked. It is an impossibility. Assuming that much oil even exists GLOBALLY, it certainly didn't all in one place, and couldn't have been moved without the use of MANY MANY large planes, which isn't secretive at all, as flight plans have to be tracked and published. Just as a heads up, the amount of barrels required to make all 4,753,506,900 trips to fly the oil back is an unfathomable and non-processable number by most calculators.
Also, before some daft cunt says: "BUT HE NEVER HAD WMD!"
"These are chemical weapons as defined under the Chemical Weapons Convention, and yes ... they do constitute weapons of mass destruction," Army Col. John Chu told the House Armed Services Committee. The munitions addressed in the report were produced in the 1980s, according to Army Lt. Gen. Michael D. Maples. Badly corroded, they could not currently be used as originally intended, though agent remaining in the weapons would be very valuable to terrorists and insurgents, Maples said.""
