Conspiracies & Oil Men

This moment in time:

There are times when the intersection of government and business is so powerful, it becomes hard to escape the reality that every decision seems to have been perfectly designed to lead to this point in time. How fortunate for these Oil men? How fortunate that the history of the last 20 years has led to this moment. How fortunate that Neo-con idealisms tragic experiment, that democracy will spread like a flame through the middle east, was tried in an oil rich country, Iraq.

Abuses in Investigation(A brief, brief history):

The Independent counsel assigned to investigate White House corruption was set up during Nixon's Watergate scandal. During the Clinton administration, the Independent Counsel was used to dig up the tawdry details of the often out of control sexual conduct of President Bill Clinton. Clinton was impeached on perjury charges. This was such a distasteful time, such a distasteful prosecution, that the Independent Counsel Law was terminated. An incoming president would be unfettered in his ability to abuse the powers of the White House.

An oil man from Texas:

Without going into the long history of failed businesses President Bush (43) has had, suffice it to say, no failure of his has been more lucrative then the sale of two thirds of his stock in Harken Energy Corporation in 1990. Ten Days later Iraqi troops moved into Kuwait, and within 6 months the company lost 60% of it's value. What Incredible timing that was. Ten years and a stolen election later and a little known son of a president from Texas had grabbed the reigns of government.

Enron loophole, Speculation vs supply and demand:

With the passing of the enron loophole, energy futures were allowed to be traded, hay wiring the supply and demand system Capitalism claims to rely on. Artificially driving up oil prices. Why have oil prices fallen since the market crash? No one has asked this. What has fundamentally changed about the supply or the Demand of Oil? Nothing. These artificial market influences have only benefited the huge oil companies.

Invade oil rich nations; Friends of nations who"don't like us very much

If I told you that after Japan bombed Pearl harbor, we invaded Mexico you would say I'm crazy. After 9-11 we did just that. With promises of being greeted as liberators and having the oil of Iraq to pay for the war effort, we have secured, for the Exxons of the world another corner of the world's oil. We have pictures of Bush Shaking hands with dear family friends like the Saudi family while the McCain campaign rails about how we have to drill here at home for oil we won't see for ten years, to stop buying oil from countries that "don't like us very much."

Drill baby drill:

So what are we left with? Artificial Prices, artificial Crises, and calls to hand over more of our natural resources to the corporations that are pulling the strings. And who is at the top of this ridiculous pyramid scheme? The Bush family and the Republican party, backed by big oil, using our tax monies and our military, the blood of our heroes, to secure resources for private corporations they are in league with. And They laughably call Obama a Socialist!
