Thieves In Our Midst!

[HARDCORE]

Gasoline prices are going through the roof, and if the figures that I saw were correct (?), only about 10% of the gasoline that we use comes from foreign oil thieves!

?Again, if this is correct, what does it all mean??

It means that a few of those lying rats in domestic oil, like at least one huge company that was recently caught on tape talking about what they really thought of their customers (the American people) - are manipulating prices, buying off politicians, screwing over the population of this nation, and maybe even starting wars to feed their bottomless lust$!

What in the hell ever happened to us - that we now allow abject bastards to violate (as in rape) our futures? Was all of this political flag waving just a sham! Are we as meek and as gullible as the media, big business and a few in government seem to think that we are! ?You know - if it wasn?t one lie that allowed the Oil Barons to continue (never ending) to raise fuel prices, it would be another, or another, or another!

?This whole scenario reminds me of the old gal that bent over in front of a sex offender, and when she was violated, began to scream rape at the top of her lungs!?

The day may soon be coming (have no doubts about it) when your kids will suffer from the lack of gas to get them to overpriced doctors and hospitals! When your aged parents will freeze to death because of the absence of heating fuels! And when every damned big business in America (and even worldwide) catches on to this oil shortage scam, and then utilizes similar ploys to rip the last hard-earned penny from your moth-eaten pockets, who will you blame then?!

"And when even a slight whimper of discontent rushes forth from your gutted throat, you will probably end up getting busted, or worse - count upon it!"

Now if you doubt the sanity of Eric Blair (George Orwell) and his fictional (?) 1984 analogy, I invite you to partake of some things that are not at all fictional!

1- J.P. Morgan, along with a select group of other scar-faced and rotting soul individuals, once plotted to monopolize vast portions of our economy. It took a few men with balls (like Teddy Roosevelt) to put the brakes on this ploy! (OR DID HE?)

2- Some of the same grinning bastards may now be pulling off a similar routine, this time (I fear), with the blessings of a few of our so-called protectors!

3- While many people are gleefully being led (like sheep) down the road to bureaucratic slaughterhouses, a selected few are still making a ($$$$) killing! Not the old fashioned way mind you, but rather through lies, manipulation, insider dealings, mass sell outs of our nation, and through a dastardly betrayal of all that we once stood for!

?So here we are in the new millennium (2005 to be exact)!? The American people are better fed and educated than ever before, but not better informed, or so it seems?!"

Still others, however, now claim that (like the gladiators of old) we are now being bred to wage foreign economic wars (?), as well as to bow and scrape before the emerging ?New World Order?? But who, outside of this "Wanna-be, Insider, One-World Government", can say for sure what the final outcome of this manipulation of "We The People" may be? "Unfortunately, those who know for sure - ain?t talking!?"

Whatever the truth behind this deception may be, one thing still remains an axiom: ?Most of us are getting tired of getting economically screwed", and the majority of the screw-ees seems to be enjoying it!? We must like the pain, however, for if we did not, we would not continually take it upon the chin without at least bitching up a storm, nor would we habitually come back for seconds!

?What can we do about it, says you? If you have to ask, you may already a lost cause!?

?Stand firm, refuse to deal with the economic rapists (even domestic ones), abandon apathy (we ?ARE? our American brother?s keepers), analyze the vested tripe that flows freely from the media, the political arena, big business, and the yes men who lap up the orts (scraps) that fall from the filthy mouths of the inter-connected. Most of all, be an American first, and abandon unreasonable tags that demand that each of us be an obedient party-ite first, and an American last!!

Finally, vote out any bum (regardless of position) who is out to destroy you and yours. ?For without well-paid friends in high places, those who are now feasting off of your very being, would quickly waste-away and expire!

In my opinion, all such cretins will eventually end up in Hell, but I suspect that this will not take place until they have driven most of us there before them!!

?THESE ARE OF COURSE, BUT MY OPINIONS!?

Refineries in the US and across the world are running at full capasity. There hasn't been a new refinery in the US for about 18 years, all due to enviomenalist restrictions on the refining process. The supply and demand price hike is due to enviromentalist. Refinery companies can't open a new refinery and run it in the black unless you would like to pay 5$ a gal for gas. We are useing more than what we make and we can't make more.

RON -

I heard the speech too! However, other sources paint a far different picture! Unfortunately, no matter the party in power, it is always the other guy who is to blame!

It would be novel indeed if those who continuously arrive at excuses, would take a little of that time to come up with solutions - that is (after all) what they are getting paid the big bucks to do!

Granted, environmentalists are rigid, but those with the power to end this national fuel emergency are stiff! With all of the power that has been granted to our politicians, men who can create wars with a pen stroke, send our fellow humans into space, thump their chests like King Kong, why can they not control their own mega-million dollar contributors? "Nothing is ever done by passing the buck, and he who has the power to enact change, but opts for excuses instead, is in the wrong line of work!"

So who is responsible for this (foreseeable) fuel emergency - is it the refineries, the oil moguls perhaps, the boys from turban land who's bacon we are now saving (at a high cost)? Who ever it is, and I doubt that it is totally environmentalist in nature, his (or their) identity is known to some! "

The problem is that it is not known to all, and even if it were, I seriously doubt (with the current political mindset) that anything would be done about it?

But hey, let's look at the bright side - with big money, the oil giants, and a celebrity or two currently under the old microscope, the VA, provable lies in government, our part time pals abroad, and even the current war, are far less visible to some!

Apparently smoke screens work in two directions. The one's that can not be overcome, however, are those which we create in our own minds!

Are the environmentalist and the lack of new refineries at fault - probably so to a degree! But the only thing that government excuses have ever accomplished is to create yet more excuses!

A balance has to be met and adhered to. There was always room for us all to survive without stepping on the toes of our fellow citizens. And if the ability to strike a balance is beyond the reach or scope of the Powers That Be, then maybe the Powers That Be, should become "THE POWERS THAT WAS!"

No new refineries have been started for 18 years, Enviromentalist are the root of the regulations against oil companies for clean air and clean water. The oil companies can start up a new refinery but the end product (Gas) would cost $5.00 a gal. and the public wouldn't pay. So the refineries run at 100% and the demand still goes up cause and effect Gas prices go up because of not enough supply.
The clean air and water acts were done in the Clinton administration, Bush just got a waver to drill for oil in northern alaska, I dought if any of the oil companies will do it unless the restrictions on drilling and refining are loosened or lifted. Not worth it.

"Apparently smoke screens work in two directions. The one's that can not be overcome, however, are those which we create in our own minds!"

What are you talking about?
