Opinion Petro Terrorsim: Where Your Dollars Go To, 06/01/2008
Instead of whining about the excessive profits the oil companies in the
U.S. are gleefully hauling in while those same Corps whine about higher
costs, the American People should be angry and outraged by where a big
chunk of their $4.00 per gallon is going...right into the hands of the
terrorists. And meanwhile light bulbs are destined to become
useless. You want to talk about an endangered species, how about
the air conditioner?
Petro Dollars First
How does this work? Simple economics of course, and a little
misdirection by the arab cartel OPEC whose petro-dollars quickly find
their way into the hands of every Middle Eastern terrorist group.
The idea that al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah and the nearly 100 Islamic
Jihadist groups found in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria,
Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, (the list goes on) live off of everyday Muslim
donations is the biggest Middle Easterrn lie in the region's
history.
The facts are that the same countries making billions off our thirst
for gasoline and oil are also those funding terrorism. And not so
indirectly as they would like you to think. This is why the Bush
Administration has been jabbing spears into the sides of financial
institutions linked to the Terrorists. And why does the U.S. have
to do this? Because the petro-rich Arab nations won't do
it. Indeed, they practice the ancient middle eastern art of
double speak on the subject. The front of the hand says one
thing, the back says the other. And it's the back of the hand that is
killing us.
So when OPEC refuses to step up production in any significant way, and
the world's petro speculators jab us by wildly forcing oil prices
higher, it's more than hitting you in the pocketbook, it's setting up
conditions to kill more infidels...that's you and me, folks.
Don't believe it? Do a little research. The oil-rich
producers are well documented as supplying the terrorists. And
when the U.S. complained just after 9/11 and has continued to attempt
to apply pressure, the Arab nations have literally ignored us.
What are we going to do? Cut off our purchases? Sure, that
will happen.
Oil purchases by the world's non-Middle Eastern oil companies is a U.S.
National Security problem. Indeed, it is a clear and present
danger -- we are funding those who would literally shatter our
civilization in favor of Rule by the Law of Sharra -- the Islamic
Extremist's version backed by Salaf beliefs and that nasty little thing
called Violent Jihad. While Congress and Presidential candidates
debate the finer points of negotiating with the terrorists and
appeasement, the reality is that we've already lost the most important
war.
Decades of inattention to a real energy policy and decades of
environmental nutcase philosophy have ruined the U.S. ability to supply
our nation with energy of any kind. We are heading for a energy
collapse in a decade. There is only so much energy you can suck
out of hydroelectric and wind power, and try as they will, domestic
producers are at the point where they can squeeze no more power out of
existing power plants. The haitus in building power plants has
created a positive failure in our infrastructure. Even starting
to build today will not ease the problem one iota.
Fear tactic? B.S.
Impending Energy Crunch NEXT (And Soon!)
Let's see Congress apply their Congressional Research Service on this
question. Will the U.S. supply of power from all domestic
sources meet the needs of the country's corporate infrastructure and
domestic usage by the year 2018? How many new energy production
facilities will be required to meet this challenge, and can any one or
two types of energy production facilities (nuclear, coal,
hydroelectric, or other) meet this demand if we start building in 2008?
I already know the answer, I did paper napkin math and was
horrified. Even before 2018, we are faced with a power crunch
beyond anything we have ever seen. And I haven't begun to address
the gasoline and oil numbers.
Another question for the Congressional Research Service. If we
began crash programs to develop offshore oil resources and opened
Anwar, a) how long would it REALLY take to provide full production, b)
would this production significantly effect the price of oil and gas for
the consumer and transportion industry (truckers especially), and c)
combining all known alternative fuel and traditional fuel sources
domestically in the next one to two decades, what would be required in
the way of production (and is it even possible) in order to be
independent from Middle Eastern Oil? I'd also like to know, as
John Q. Citizen, if our government hasn't already let us down...that is
to say, are we already well behind the power curve? I don't give
a damn who did it, left, right or middle. I want to know the
truth and what it will take to fix it. If our elected government
can't get right on it, then we will start throwing them out of office
until we find some people who can.
Can we ever reach energy independence? Or is our national
security forever bound to the Middle East oil crazies who also feed our
Islamic extremist enemies? Isn't the friend of our enemy also our
enemy? Just because the Saudis and their neighbors say they are
our oil friends doesn't hide the fact that theya are the best thing
that has happened to Islamic Extremism. As long as people claim
to be our friends and then hand the weapons to kill us to our enemies,
and we ignore this, we remain stupid and arrogant.
It is time to stop the farse and take our enemies at their word.
They mean to destroy us, and some of our so called friends are helping
them. Is it profiling to assume the Arabs and Asian threat from Islamic
Extremism destined to rub us out? Fine. So be it. We
are going to have to be a little insensitive to religious and even
racial issues. You have to live with security before you can
explore the finer points of liberalism. Liberalism at the sake of
survival is not only stupid, it is self annihilation. There is no
justification for such stupidity.
I weep for no loss of comfort. There is no constitutional mandate
to feel comfortable with a society steering itself to self
destruction. In fact, reading the document points to national
security as a major tenant with freedoms integrated with the right to
exist as a free and soverign nation. You cannot have one
without the other...America must survive before it can BE
America. Get it? The left might believe everything is hunky
dorey. The right might hope for something better while the left
falsely brags they will bring it. The problem is that neither is
doing the job right now. The partisan B.S. is killing us and it
is not rocket science or dream-based, false data input into simulators
like the global warming nonsense.
Is it about oil? Sure, why not. Of course it isn't that
simple, but if you want to simplify it that way, then go ahead.
Whatever it takes. Our very survival is dependent upon our abilty
to stop the flow of petro dollars into the hands of the Arab nations,
as well as turn our attention to would-be dictators in South America
who want to also start their own petro blackmail. We need to
build a funded, viable plan to remove our dependence on unfriendly
nations for oil and energy of any type. If that takes an oil
derrick in someone's back yard, too damned bad. And real power
usage in business and our homes is even more at peril.
This is now about survival, and survival now not in a hundred years or
so. If social security worries you, forget it. Long before
social security runs out of money, we'll have spent our last dollar
buying fuel or power.
It's certainly not about inconvenience to today's threatened
lizard. It is not about helping the poor from Mexico and Latin
American nations sneaking into our country for a chance at our
money. We are beyond that now.
Every illegal is consuming and swelling the population well beyond our
abilty to support them. When does the influx of new bodies become
significant? It happened two decades ago. And it
continues pretty much unchecked, with population numbers well beyond
projections two decades ago that ignored the unwanted illegal
population boom, AND THEIR CHILDREN who automatically become new
citizens! We're well past the stage where environmental concerns
for a century or two from now matter, well beyond a kind heart and
helping hand to Latinos matters at all. We have to live through
the next couple of decades. How can the world's leading economy
survive a power catastrophe? It can't. IF WE DO NOT FIX
THIS STARTING TODAY, IT IS LIKELY WE WILL NOT BE HERE TO WORRY ABOUT
GLOBAL WARMING OR ENDANGERED SPECIES. Oops.
For those who believe we have all the time in the world...get a
clue. If you can claim double digit century effects of
global warming is a pressing issue based upon horribly flawed science,
what about the power crash coming at us a helluva lot sooner? How
many scientists believe we will have fuel enough for our cars in 2018
and power for our homes and factories? Nobody concerned about
that? This is a national tragedy. Oops. Of course we
do have a semi-working mars probe in operation. Hot Damn!
Fortunately, there is no planned replacement for the Shuttle.
Maybe we can turn some of the space dollars into petro dollars?
We'd better do something, and damned quick. Let's apply some of
those brains we have trained in the last two decades to simply solving
this one impending disaster. If you think corn is going to solve
this folks, guess again. Even if you could put an ear of corn
directly into your car, there aren't enough to also feed Intel,
Microsoft and Hewlett Packard combined over the next twenty
years. Oops.
Why isn't the coming energy crisis glamorous and lefty, warmy, fuzzy
like global warming? Don't know, but we'd better get off our
asses, this train crash has already started.
