Jet Fuel-Gate Is Obama's New Solyndra
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 12/13/11 | Staff

Ecofanaticism: SolyndraGate was no isolated case of corrupt government misspending. The U.S. Navy was just forced to buy 450,000 gallons of biofuels from an Obama-connected firm at an outrageous $16 per gallon. The massive Obama stimulus was supposed to generate millions of jobs, but the $535 million loan guarantee it gave to solar panel maker Solyndra on the eve of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy illustrated the fundamental incompetence of Obama's neo-Keynesian economic ideology. Now we find the Navy partnering with the Agriculture Department to purchase hundreds of thousands

The Teapot Dome Scandal was a bribery incident that took place in the United States in 1922–23, during the administration of President Warren G. Harding. Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall leased Navy petroleum reserves at Teapot Dome and two other locations to private oil companies at low rates without competitive bidding. In 1922 and 1923, the leases became the subject of a sensational investigation by Senator Thomas J. Walsh. Fall was later convicted of accepting bribes from the oil companies.

Before the Watergate scandal, Teapot Dome was regarded as the “greatest and most sensational scandal in the history of American politics”.[

reg JP-5 fuel — typically costs less than $4 a gallon.

Retail JET-A to general aviation is going for around $6/gal.

T.J. Glauthier of Solazyme RESOLD the fuel to the U.S. Navy. The fuel was made by a private venture in Louisiana not originally subsidized by the feds. Just so happens to be co-owned by sometimes Clinton friend Tyson.

“Keelhaul the SOB”


We won’t have a navy left to heelhaul him. It will go bankrupt trying to buy a gallon of fuel.

And another article worth some pondering:

Reactor 4 sounds exceedingly and increasingly hazardous if I’m understanding things accurately.

American In Tokyo—you must be up on this. Any comment?

It’s psychological warfare.

Yes it is! I keep saying it's "in your face" for lack of a better phrase but you have the correct term.

I have realized this since Obama called for it during 2008, and when some of us went to a restaurant wearing McCain buttons because we had just come back from a meeting, all the young black waitstaff would say "Obama!" right in our faces every time they ran into one of us. It is an arrogant, uncivilized approach.

If we lose this civil society that we have, we will never have another one, so in God's name let's not lose it.

The globalist oligarchy is

DETERMINED to thoroughly trash, destroy the USA in behalf of their tyrannical satanic global government.

My understanding of the more convincing Christian prophetic sources is that they will ALMOST succeed before the end of the Great Tribulation and Christ brings a halt to their evil deeds.
