...where you're liable to find one or two of the locals chewing' something' or somebody,
weather permitting, of course; (in the winter we relocate around the old wood stove in the RedBird Kitchen). 

Just pull up a rockin' chair, a step (first come, first serve) or even a stump!

The Bully on the Block
(Op-Ed: June 2006)

"Americans are addicted to foreign oil!!"
(https://www.google.com/)

Americans are not "addicted" to foreign oil.  We are not dependent upon foreign oil.  We OWN or CONTROL the earth's petroleum reserves. 

The Arabs couldn't even get the oil out of the ground when it was "discovered" in the sand in the early part of the 20th century.  Who had the technology to obtain it, refine it, and take it to market?  We did.  Who made the Arabs rich?  We did.  Who named the terms of our agreement and the exchange rate in gold and US treasury Notes?  We did. Who set up Central Banks in oil-producing countries and threatens any foreign government's leaders (many of whom we put in place in "lesser" countries to maintain our interests) when they try to change the terms of our "agreement" or nationalize their resources--who declares war on, or "removes", that country's leader?  Right--we do.  (Mr. H-U-G-O  C-H-A-V-E-Z, pay attention...)

You see, here's how it went: we offered to locate their oil fields, then offered to get the oil out of the sand (or up from the sea) and, in the process promised to enlarge their tents (though we retained controlling interest in production, refining, and distribution to market).  THEN, (and this is my favorite part) that country was required to "buy" our national debt on terms we dictated (read on for terms).  Whew!  And.....let's see....who kicked Iraq's butt when Saddam threatened to change the terms of our prior "agreement"
(gold and US treasury notes) by trading in Euros?  We did.  (Update: executed)  Who lifted the Chinese out of a primitive dependence on whale oil at the turn of the century, converted them to cheaper (more efficient) petroleum, and subsequently set up their "oil economy" just like the others ? We did. 

Who then controls the global flow of oil, the price of oil, and the price of gold (via London banks) and foreign economy via central banks et al?  The same ones who own the oil, own transportation, own communication--the same ones who established all foreign OIL exchange on our terms.

And now why does this current administration drive our economy into the toilet?  So our national DEBT can be repaid at a lower rate than it was purchased. 

Who really sits atop the largest oil fields on the planet? (One of our Alaskan fields alone is capable of producing enough low sulfur-content high grade petroleum .09%--at artesian pressure, I might add--projected to be able to service the needs of the entire North American continent for 200 years)?  We do.  Who capped those very rich wells so we could price gouge in the 70's?   We did.  Who owns at least a controlling interest in every single oil field of any significance on this planet?  We do.  Who set up ANWR to secure those capped Alaskan wells and create a FEAR smokescreen in order to obfuscate pubic knowledge of their existence?   We did (USGov and DOE)! Who controls the price per barrel of oil, OPEC?  NO!  Not them. The same ones who control the price of gold every day, control the price of oil...the same weasels who created OPEC as to delude us.  And the same ones who control the oil fields, mass communication, transportation, and distribution to market, likewise regulate the economies of all countries
on earth (through central banks). Our liaisons coerced those dependent countries into buying our national debt "high", and plan to repay that debt "low"--are also the same ones who control most of the gold, as well as the rest of the earth's resources--they also are implementing plans to  force us off privately owned land in order to horde and preserve those resources for themselves (See; "Eminent Domain," UN's "Agenda 21", and "Sustainability", and the UN Biodiversity Agreement); for they also possess and control the technology and laws in order to do so.  It gets worse.  Since the FCC deregulated ownership of the media in 2003, they now own and operate most of the global media so as to also control what illusions are perceived (see; Clear Channel Communications monopoly), all the while maintaining their diverse interests with the most extensive military "reach" since Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon, and the Brits ever envisioned themselves inviolable empires.  And they plan to continue to keep the world in FEAR ( terrorists, orange alert, smallpox, avian flu.. .) via the preferred tools of propaganda (TV, movies, radio, music, newspapers), and because generating FEAR is how to wholly control people.  Hence, Peak Oil is but one of their scare tactics, a myth devised by those who own energy, so they can benefit from our fear by price gouging.  Global Warming is but another of their myths.  Just like depletion of the ozone layer is a myth.  And on it goes.  Remember, he who controls the illusion--information, transportation, communication, natural resources, and energy--controls the future.  (Remember the little man behind the screen in the Wizard of Oz?)  Next natural resource to be controlled will be water.  We already have proven controlling water and energy to be a successful tool of control (via Desert Storm 1990-today) in Iraq.  Iran and Syria are next.  Did I mention Africa? 

And finally, who relies on our ignorance and indifference in order to maintain control of us (by keeping us entertained and well fed, for now)?  Right.


Thank God Jesus knew what we were capable of becoming (you won't hear that sermon from the Merchants of Christianity).  Thank God He is bigger than this quintessential darkness we have become.  We won't be spared greed's inevitable consequences, but those who seek His face will find true comfort in His light, as the darkness begins its descent.  (P.S "The Rapture" as it is preached is not biblical.)  Pass it on.

Thanks for listening.
