There is a man, a mystery man
He'd hurt our nation all that he can
Changing his mind like his underwear
John Kerry's full of hot air
They call him Flipper, Flipper
And what he stands for we do not know
It's anyone's guess
They call him Flipper, Flipper
And he'll proudly tell you
He voted "No" but first voted "Yes"
There is a man, a mystery man
Terrorists are so glad that he ran
Changing his mind like his underwear
John Kerry's full of hot air
They call him Flipper, Flipper
And what he stands for we do not know
It's anyone's guess
They call him Flipper, Flipper
And he'll proudly tell you
He voted "No" but first voted "Yes"
There is a man, a mystery man
For all of us he has a dark plan
Changing his mind like his underwear
John Kerry's full of hot air
They call him Flipper, Flipper
And what he stands for we do not know
It's anyone's guess
They call him Flipper, Flipper
And he'll proudly tell you
He voted "No" but first voted "Yes"
Perhaps we are overlooking something a retired man told me, one night in the Everglades.
I think the following line from the article might be of interest in regards to the issue of committing the enormous amounts of investment to produce either US oil or oil from coal, etd.:
“The cartel would begin to reduce prices before the press conference concluded.”
That reduction would come, but not as the article says, nor would the reduction last very long. Here’s why.
That retiree said that conversion of coal into what he called solid fuel, gas, and crude oil via the Lurghi process was financially feasible when gas reached $2.40 per gallon.
I asked why such a process was not being used. He replied that IF such a plant was built, AFTER the plant funds were spent, THEN the Saudi “OPEC’ers” would drop the price of oil and bankrupt those who invested in the Lurghi plant.
THEN, the price would rise again.
I asked how he had learned all this, and where he got his information. He simply smiled and said “I was in charge of synthetic fuels for Texaco before I retired.”
I would like to point out that in light of what he said, that we must therefore either submit to financial slavery and eventual national defeat, OR we must do to the “OPEC’ers” what Rome did to Carthage.
Remember that the destruction of Carthage led to very stable grain prices. Therefore, it is time that we made a few changes to the world. In light of the above mentioned facts, I humbly present the following Modest Proposal For Energy.
The MidEast oil fields are both to the north and east of the USA, therefore, the Mideast fields become “Oklahoma East”.
The Venezuela and Mexico fields are to the south and somewhat west of the USA, thus they become “Texas Two”.
Problem solved.
