The Truth about Oil in America is that we have over a trillion barrels, but some Democrats are paid by OPEC leaders to stop development. I think you are a lot closer to the truth than people would care to admit.
- OPEC has money, a lot of money.
- OPEC (and the Islamic Middle East) really have only one thing the world wants.
- Take away that oil, allow/force/encourage nations-- particularly the USA -- "energy independent", or even not as needful and OPEC, and the OPEC/Middle East, is in deep do-do.
- So, the logical thing for OPEC to do is spread (or throw) some of that oil-money round. Just buying themselves a little insurance, you know?
OPEC shrugs its shoulders: So Americans pays $4 a gallon for gas? So the world pays $130 a barrel for what? So what? After all, it's not like any one's forcing American politicians to take this money...

I think you’re right!
They don’t have to contribute to their “campaign fund” but in the Swiss Bank Account thus avoiding having to report it.
And they can get the money when they leave Congress or some other “payday”! All without doing anything illegal!
I wonder how many of them become millionaires since beginning service in the Congress. We need to check this out!
We are being hoodwinked!!!
