THE TRUTH BEHIND THE SO-CALLED OIL/GAS SHORTAGES

by Dr. David B. Axelrod  

The news is on in the background as I type this. A talking head is repeating lies about the reason gas prices have gone up. This page is my act of "charity" for the day...

No one ever asks why they haven't built a new refinery since the 70's. Twice in the 70's we were attacked by major oil companies emboldened by their successes in taking over the Federal Government.

(Research the establishment of the Trilateral Commission and the fact that by the Carter/Regan election every top official elected or appointed in D.C. either was on the Commission or had connection directly to David Rockefeller and his Standard Oil-Exxon-Mobil.)

The 70's proved that by telling the Big Lie that we were short of oil, the oil industry could sell less and less product for ever-increasing profits. It was proved amply then that there was plenty of oil but it was simply being withheld.

(During the 70's second false "oil shortage" that drove up prices and created lines at gas stations, reliable scientific calculations showed that we had enough already- discovered and easily- pumpable oil in the world that use of oil world-wide could continue to grow at a very rapid rate and still last not less than 100 years before any genuine shortage might be felt. That was in the late 70's. We have discovered much more since then.)

Since the 70's, however, we have stopped producing most of our domestic oil. We have made no national plan for expanding shipping capacity to meet demand and we have stopped building refineries. We have stopped any real effort to produce any serious alternative energy (solar, wind, tidal/hydro, and yes, safe nuclear). We've done little if anything toward conservation for that matter.

In other words, what we have is a clear conspiracy to create a growing shortage despite plentiful natural resources which could not only help the United States maintain a privileged lifestyle but help the third world countries to pull themselves up.  The only interests being served are oil interests and now the king of oil, coming from oil royalty himself, George W. Bush, is holding court together with his evil council of oily vilians, Cheney, Rice et al.

None of this is fiction. You can read about Daddy Bush and his Zapata oil buddies or Condoleezza and her oil fleet. You just can't possibly miss Cheney's connection to Halliburton.  You need brain damage to believe what the media says except the Big Lie goes on day after day so people tend to just repeat that "shortages caused by [whatever momentary world/national event] are the reason oil prices have gone up." Duh...

Have some self dignity. Don't ever believe the Government and media lies.  And be careful when you think of a "change" in administration because no one gets to be president without co-operating with the present power structure.

One realistic way to fight back: Exxon-Mobil is the ring leader for world oil. It sets the prices. If we simply stop buying Exxon-Mobil products, it will send at least a message that we are not stupid. It may even force them to drop the prices a little. Don't stop buying gas for a day. That's useless. Stop buying the gas/products/services of the worst of the conspirators. If nothing else you can show you are on to them. Don't buy anything Exxon-Mobil.*

For more on Condoleezza Rice go to http://aztlan.net/oiltanker.htm  and even better their link at the bottom.  

Google Bush and Zapata and you will get tons of information but here's one for example: http://www.consortiumnews.com/2000/081400a1.html  

There's tons on Cheney but here's a good one: http://www.commondreams.org/views03/0403-10.htm  

*Folks have tried to tell me that boycotting Exxon/Mobile won't hurt them because gasoline is "fungible." They can just sell it through other outlets. If they weren't making money with their own, branded gas stations, they wouldn't keep them open. You will be heard if you stop buying their brand of gas!
