Think about it

The OPEC minister will look you in the eyes and state:
“ We are at war with you infidels. Have been since the embargo in the 1970s. You are so arrogant you haven’t even recognized it. You have more missiles, bombs, and technology; so we are fighting with the best weapon we have and extracting on a net basis about $700 billion/year out of your economy. We will destroy you! Death to the infidels!

While I am here I would like to thank you for the following: Not developing your 250-300 year supply of oil shale and tarsands. we know if you did this, it would create millions of jobs for US citizens, expand your engineering capabilities, and keep the wealth in the US instead of sending it to us to finance our war against you bastards.

Thanks for limiting defense dept. purchases of oil sands from your neighbors to the north. We love it when you confuse your allies.

Thanks for over regulating every segment of your economy and thus delaying, by decades, the development of alternate fuel technologies.

Thanks for limiting drilling off your coasts, in Alaska , and anywhere there is a bug, bird, fish, or plant that might be inconvenienced. Better that your people suffer! Glad to see our lobbying efforts have been so effective.

Corn based Ethanol. Praise Allah for this sham program! Perhaps you will destroy yourself from the inside with these types of policies. This is a gift from Allah, praise his name! We never would have thought of this one! This is better than when you pay your farmers NOT TO GROW FOOD. Have them use more energy to create less energy, and simultaneously drive food prices through the roof.
Thank you US Congress!!!!

And finally, we appreciate you letting us fleece you without end. You will be glad to know we have been accumulating shares in your banks, real estate, and publicly held companies. We also finance a good portion of your debt and now manipulate your markets, currency, and economies to our benefit.

THANK YOU AMERICA !”

Nothing saps energy like giving away your money to the government. Especially if you’re an oil company.

And not a word about the Gull Island 60 mile long 30 mile wide 1200ft deep pool of oil at a couple thousand ft. depth under and west of Prudeau Bay.. NOT A WORD..

You'd think some Congressmen would be shouting it from the rooftops.. We're talking multi trillions of barrels.. dwarfing Saudi reserves..

“If didn’t know better, I would think the Democrats are really trying to lose this election.”

I wish McCain would give them a little help.

Every citizen in the country needs to read this article! According to a poll, Americans are catching on to the fact that it is NOT the oil companies fault—it is CONGRESS! Our own government is conspiring against us!!

I just ordered 10 bumper stickers from World Net Daily that say: Drill American Oil Now! I would advise EVERYONE to get one.

OF COURSE.

Though it has little to do with legislative failure.

The Congress has done exactly as their NWO GLOBALIST bosses have ordered.

30-50 years ago . . . depending on where in the process . . . certainly during Ike’s Presidency, the powers that be—decided to withhold major USA oil finds from development and use the world’s oil until we were left holding what was left.

See FR thread on Gull Island:

The good Chaplain has been on record quite a number of years.

And, IIRC, there’s a North/South Dakota oil field that’s also super huge. And there are already proven NORTH SLOPE/ARCTIC fields not begun to be tapped that are huge.

The puppet masters deliberately planned way back THEN to drive gasoline to $10.00/gallon.

They are deliberately crashing the US DOLLAR.

They are deliberately planning to starve and otherwise kill Billions of people, with a B.

These just happen to be facts. Folks in denial are less prepared to deal with them than those who are finally beginning to wake up.

Scripture/God declares FEAR NOT—walk close to HIM; Trust in HIM.

They will eventually try and prove that Almighty God is merely another ‘ET’ who they plan to DEFEAT at Armageddon.

Satan knows better but has convinced them of that. They are in for some major shocks after being sooooo astronomically destructive to so many.

Thankfully, God will shorten the time, else, as Scripture says, no flesh would be saved.

Exxon Mobil is buying back stock because they can't find enough energy investments to deploy their excess cashflow.

The nature of the boom/bust cycle of the oil industry has always caused many of them to sell stock when prices were low to survive and buy it back when prices are up.

It sounds like my investment strategy of buy high and sell low, but it is the nature of the business of this industry to survive the cycles. Oil companies tend to have a longer viewpoint than many others. They have to do so to survive.
