Jon Stewart on Energy Independence: “Fool me eight times, am I a f****** idiot?”

Reason Magazine rightfully praises comedian Jon Stewart – the only man who’s actually willing to ask inconvenient questions every now and then – for taking America’s politicians to task for talking about making the country energy independent, but doing exactly nothing to actually achieve this lofty goal.

America’s, and the West’s as a whole, dependence on Middle Eastern oil is a tremendous weakness. There’s no reason not to develop alternative energy resources. In fact, the opposite is even true: our oil dollars are used to either keep dictatorial regimes in place or to fund the very terrorist organizations who have declared war on us and our way of life – or both. By buying oil, then, we are strengthening and enriching our enemies. If that isn’t the very definition of a stupid foreign policy, I don’t know what is.

They don’t want energy independence,
they want energy control,

so they can prohibit the masses from using it,
and thus controlling every aspect of their lives.

You got that right!
