The sudden, dramatic drop in oil prices has changed the world almost overnight. Russia's facing an economic crisis, and U.S. consumers are saving a fortune at the pump. The reasons for the sudden swing are not particularly glamorous: They involve factors like supply and demand, oil companies having invested heavily in exploration several years ago to produce a glut of oil that has now hit the market -- and then, perhaps, the "lack of cohesion" among the diverse members of OPEC.
But now, right on cue, out come the conspiracy theorists including Vladimir Putin to tell us what's really going on.
Recently, Putin floated the idea that the oil price drop is the result of a U.S.-Saudi plot to hurt his country. "We all see the lowering of the oil price. There's lots of talk about what's causing it," Putin said recently. "Could it be the agreement between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia to punish Iran and affect the economies of Russia and Venezuela? It could."
With these remarks, Putin joined a long tradition of conspiracy theorists who have surmised that the world's great oil powers whether countries or mega-corporations are secretly pulling strings to shape world events. Prior oil-related conspiracies abound: 9-11 Truthers and JFK assassination conspiracists alike have sometimes given oil interests or companies an integral role in their theories.
Such thinking has a long history. "During the 1960s and 1970s, when the American conservative movement was taking over the Republican Party, the Rockefeller family was seen as this massive manipulator that controlled America from backstage," says Robert Alan Goldberg, a professor history at the University of Utah author of the book "Enemies Within: The Culture of Conspiracy in Modern America." The Rockefellers owed their wealth, of course, to...that's right, oil.

In 1908, an alien spacecraft exploded at Tunguska, Russia;
The Roswell alien spacecraft was a rescue mission for the Tunguska crash, but it fell through a wormhole and crashed in the New Mexico desert 39 years later;
A piece of alien technology from the Roswell crash was discovered by a teenager named Elvis Presley;
Presley turned it over to the Nazi scientists of Operation Paperclip (Presley was placed in a government relocation program in Memphis, TN, where he promptly blew cover);
The Nazi scientists reverse-engineered the alien technology and developed the Internet, GMO's, fracking and chemtrail technology, which in turn sucks our precious bodily fluids from the atmosphere and provides power for the HAARP array;
The HAARP array destroyed the Twin Towers and the Pentagon on the order of George W. Bush, who personally detonated them from his secret Skull and Bones man-cave beneath the campus of UT-Austin.
There, it all makes sense, Mulder and Scully were right, The Truth Is Out There, man!
Oh, okay. That does make a lot of sense.
Sorry Sarge. No conspiracy theory worth it’s salt would have failed to mention the role played by Queen Elizabeth or the Buildaburgers.
Or did you? < cue spooky music>
You’d like to THINK that, wouldn’t you?
You doubt the involvement and far-ranging powers of the evil-stupid-genius George W. Bush?
Don’t be distracted. Sarge is in on it. And I speak as an employee of the Rothschilds.
Please keep a lid on this.
The Red Scare should have been add as I.V. Lenin VI (clone) helped with a special sound wave generator (the sub-harmonic algorithm is made from the Tammy Wynette song “Stand by Your Man”) to mind control the masses into buying high priced non-GMO, rain forest protected, fair trade coffee from dolphin free companies to support world saving environmental plans for total domination.
*Sound wave sample can be heard in the Bond movie “Golden Eye”
Sarge, that’s just the version the Illuminati put out to take the heat off of themselves...
We are staring through the looking glass, people.
Twists and turns abound in the labyrithine corridors of The Overlords...
gloBULLism sucks.
You also forgot that George H.W. Bush had JFK killed because the Industrial War complex wanted the US to continue the Vietnam War(where John Kerry served). They installed Lyndon Johnson(another evil Texan)who increased the war effort and made everyone rich at the expense of the poor African American man.
Wait, wait whoa - you mean that John Kerry served? In Vietnam?!?
Don't forget that President Obama is friendly to the Saudi royals. The Saudi Arabian regime is strictly opposed to the Iranians and consequently their Russian allies. Both Iran and Russia have ignored Obama. He may want revenge, so he and the Saudis have a mutual interest. Plus an added bonus: declining energy prices hurt the economies of the Oil Patch, an area very hostile to the administration.
