The United States federal excise tax on gasoline is 18.4 cents per gallon and 24.4 cents per gallon for diesel fuel.
Methane could also be produced by a non-biological process called serpentinization[a] involving water, carbon dioxide, and the mineral olivine, which is known to be common on Mars.[46]

We weren't lied to because they found it on another planet. It is a limited resource on earth. It's not as if we can build a pipe line from those lakes to earth. We will need to create new technology just to go grab "ancient" technology.

God. The abiotic oil theory is still around, despite no evidence or even real science involved? Wow.
Methane is such a simple, basic molecule, that it can occur on its own without any biomass involved. There are other chemicals like this. Living things generate CO2, but we also have observed CO being generated by completely inorganic, non living natural means. Living things also generate ammonia when their waste breaks down, but we have also observed ammonia being created in non-biological naturally occurring ways. Methane is the same. Not only do dead things decay and produce it, but living things produce it via farting. Seriously. But we also produce other gasses in our flatulence that have been created by non living things, such as hydrogen sulfide (which has that rotten egg smell) leaking from volcanoes or deep vents.
What CO2, Ammonia, and Methane all have in common is that they are extremely simple, basic molecules that take little effort in their creation. While methane might be common in petroleum mines, that is not the only way it occurs. In fact, from the wikipedia article on methane:
Methane could also be produced by a non-biological process called serpentinization[a] involving water, carbon dioxide, and the mineral olivine, which is known to be common on Mars.[46]

Methane on Titan and Mars prove nothing. They do not prove that oil is an inorganic compound made in the ground, nor that we have been lied too. It only proves that methane exists outside our planet.
There is another possibility I haven't seen brought up much, and that is the possibility that the methane on Titan and Mars actually are organic in origin. Scientists and said that the possibility of ancient, primitive life could have very well existed on Mars, and even places like Titan and Europa, millions, even a billion years ago. However, conditions favorable to life did not last long enough for for anything more than basic, super primitive life forms to evolve, and eventually, even those life forms all died off due to their planets becoming inhospitable for even basic life. All these primitive creatures died off together, and over the eons, decayed into methane and other things.
Not saying that is the case for certain, but it is far more in the realm of possibility than abiotic petroleum.

There's a lot of loose ends in the history of your statement...
The jesuit order was formed originally in Rome around mid-1500's, two of the three founders were from the Iberian peninsula, so I guess I can follow that path. Attila was completely unsuccessful in his venture into the western Roman world, in mid-400's. The khazars were from the mid-600's, they have not been connected to the huns or Magyars in any published info I can source, except your man's link. They were step peoples, but so were many other groups (alans, scythians, sarmatians, etc) Constantine was fighting other Romans, not Prussians, when he "saw the sign". I cannot wave away accepted history as easily, although I find alternate histories excellent fictional reading.
So as not to derail this thread I'll refrain from discussing history here, but if I find you have started a new thread with the interesting theories you have here I'll definitely be reading.

Where you been man you have missed all of the evidence.
There are a group of mafia families that run this world would you really trust the word of psychopaths that cannot prove what they say and go against the proof of the abiotic theory which in turn leads them to be extremely rich by keeping the price up and justifying the wars.
there is way too much evidence to deny abiotic theory and then where it leads after that in knowing that life was formed from this reaction and that other life would most certainly be out there, too many people have got too much to lose. ir.nmu.org.ua...
You do realize that logic says if abiotic theory were correct, "they" could make A LOT more money by cutting out all of that pesky drilling far beneath the Oceans for oil and such, right? Logic, it's a real pain sometimes. . . .

What makes you think they're really drilling for oil? Maybe they are secretly trying to reach the lizard people who live in the Earth's hollow center.... (Bet you didn't think of that one, eh?)
