Wow what an Eye opener..
Was this the guy that called on Sean Hanity yesterday? He hit the nail on the head with this.
Dead on - the MSM will never report it.
Where is the “full page add” in every paper in the US?

Ping.
I’m speechless. What an article.
Thanks for posting
Do you have a link to where you got this?
I wanted to post it else where...
Brilliant analysis!
This is worth sending to even libs, but certainly to all moderates.
Like Bill Phillips, I am also from Bartlesville, OK, (the home of Phillips 66), am also a descendant of the oil and gas industry (my second cousin is currently the CEO of an oil and gas company with 5000 employees), and am also heavily engaged in politics (I’m a Republican National Delegate for 2008).
I noticed that in BIll Phillips’ letter regarding oil prices and the Presidential election, Bill demonized Obama, but also never trumpeted McCain. I agree completely. With my background, I strongly share Bill Phillips’ concerns and endorse Bob Barr for President of the United States.
Oil is expensive for 4 reasons.
1. Oil Supply
2. OIl Demand
3. Federal Reserve
4. Fear Factor (Iran)
1. Oil Supply - Bob Barr allows us to set up the camera and ask questions any time. Barr is not just another talking head that has to read from a teleprompter. Here is a video of Bob Barr reviewing McCain and Obama’s Energy Policies & ANWR.

2. OIl Demand - China and India’s economic growth is significantly increasing the global demand for oil. Reducing demand by curbing economic growth would be a horrible solution. Reducing demand with technology (alternative fuel, etc) would help. But government does not have the money for research. We’re broke! So the best way to create demand for local energy would be to stop supplementing imports with overseas military.
Bob Barr will bring home the military immediately, and not just from Iraq, but also Afghanistan, Japan, South Korea, Germany, and the rest of Europe; that’s ground, ships, and air. The United States currently has military bases in 130 countries! Defending our country is not the same as occupying everyone else’s country. With a significantly reduced overseas military, the United States demand for foreign oil would drop, trillions of tax dollars would go back in your pocket, and demand for local alternative sources for energy would rise.
3. Federal Reserve - As mentioned by Bill Phillips, we only perceive the price of oil rises because the value of our dollar constantly drops thanks to the Federal Reserve. The price of oil hasn’t increased relative to gold. This charts compares the price of oil in dollars (blue) and gold (red) for the past 62 years.

Obama’s largest contributor is Goldman Sachs ($601,000), #3 is JPMorgan ($374,000), and #4 is Citigroup ($371,000). McCain’s largest contributor is Merrill Lynch ($250,000), #2 is Citigroup ($249,000), and #4 is Goldman Sachs ($172,000). Notice a pattern? Banks finance the two party system to profit from rising national debt. None of these companies appear on Bob Barr’s contributor list which goes all the way down to $500. Bob Barr is the only candidate with the political freedom to challenge the Federal Reserve.

The Federal Reserve can be a confusing subject. Here is a 45 minute video which clearly explains the history and future goals of the Federal Reserve, who benefits, and who suffers.

Bob Barr would get America off the Federal Reserve by legalizing alternative commodity-based currencies and banks; in other words, legalize money! This way, the market would sort out whether or not the dollar is best, without the only alternative being to move money overseas. Here are some (currently illegal?) examples:

4. Fear Factor (Iran) - The House is currently debating Resolution H. Con. Res. 362 to prohibit all imports of petroleum, trucks, vehicles, ships, planes, trains, and cargo for Iran. A strict blockade is certainly an act of war! If any country tried to do that to us, America would start shooting. Iran will do the same. If Iran attacks our ships carrying oil, THE PRICE OF OIL WILL AGAIN DOUBLE.
The argument is that Iran ‘might someday’ want a nuclear weapon. Well no wonder Iran wants one. They are surrounded by nuclear missiles! The United States, Israel, Soviets, Pakistan, China, and India are all there with nukes. In the mean time, Iran has no nukes and has invaded no one. There have been 9 unannounced inspections by the United Nations in Iran this year and there were 0 violations. Our CIA also concludes that Iran hasn’t been working on a nuclear weapon since 2003.
Bob Barr says we should take a deep breath before precipitating World War 3 with a blockade. But McCain and Obama support economic sanctions on Iran and also both support the option of pre-emtive nuclear first strikes!
What the market money fears is this ultimate October election surprise:
1. US creates economic sanctions against Iran.
2. Iran responds by attacking our ships with oil.
3. The US responds with nuclear weapons.
4. Perpetual war is financed by loans from private banks.
5. Government policy is irrelevant as debt begins to spiral upon itself.
6. The private banking cartel wins.
Now that we are all depressed, let me state that long term, I’m very optimistic. Truth can win out. Solutions to our problems are really quite easy if we can find the courage to vote against the Republican / Democrat status quo (the military-industrial-complex and the banking cartel). And we have the internet to help each other stay informed. Bob Barr is currently polling at 6%. If we can get that up to 10% by September, Barr will be included in national debates where he can really impact public opinion.
Campaign for Liberty!
