The price of crude oil is
today close to $100 a barrel, which when manipulated through the
commodity supply chain and regurgitated as motor fuel, $4 a gallon is
what we Americans are paying at the pump in efforts to drive to the
beach to cool off. What global warming trend? Back in the last
century, the price of oil was tame in comparison, sometimes sinking
to $10. But even so, “Big Oil” made a handsome profit margin.
Then all of a sudden a creep show started sending oil prices through
the roof. The economists blamed it on the escalation of war and
conflicts around the globe. Did you ever hear of the Hsub effect? Yes
indeed, it is designed into this nation's economy equation that if a
“Republican” is taking over the White House, it means an
automatic increase in oil prices – because it is a hedge bet that a
war will be started and that threatens the “supply”! Anyway, so
was global warming a blame factor for oil price increases, by the
same idiots that think the “warming warning” is a hoax. So there
came many finger pointing opportunities as to what was a plausible
target, the blame game found a scapegoat. But even today that
“scapegoat” remains but a mystery. Regardless, it found rage as
gasoline prices were also on the move, and where it would end and how
it would effect “my” economy was heard from sea to shining sea.
But when the smoke cleared, even with the rapid increase in the raw
material that is used to make that stuff to run our vehicles and heat
many homes, the end result was not as bad as some had predicted. Why
not? Oil jumped, but had been the experience of the past, gasoline
prices did not stay in tune to that jump and remained somewhat
acceptable. Well the escalating price of oil had nothing to do with
“supply & demand”, as that theory we learn about in
Kindergarten is no longer part of the “Truth in Learning”
statement. Instead, it was based on what is called “Bratism”, a
discipline in “how far can we screw the American paycheck”. Yes,
Wall Street pays handsomely those that find just how far the “supply”
can be manipulated to satisfy the “demand” and at the same time
avoid a back-fire – so that is where we find the “Brat” element
and it is a discipline studied by many sons and daughters of the
wealthy – as in order to be considered for this line of American
Greed, a “Trust Fund” is a prerequisite. See, if “Trust Fund”
babes had to work for a living, they would then realize what it takes
and how it feels to be a “True American”. I feel sorry for many
rich kids, that they will never be able to experience that first hand
salt-of-the-earth freedom. Yes “Proud to be an American Hero”
freedom, the kind money cannot buy! IMAGINE, going through life
without an understanding of what it takes to be a “True Grit
American”! And this “Bratism” practice borders on “Anti-Trust”
violations, laws that used to have “guts & glory” but any
“crime or penalty” associated with “Racketeering Influenced and
Corrupt Organizations” went AWOL by...need I identify the
criminals? Bratism is a talent taught at leading higher-learning
schools of disintegration - like Harvard & Yale - and engaged in
predicting just how far Americans can be pushed before boycotting.
See, everybody is in competition for your hard working loot.
Basically, how much can we “TAX” that American paycheck? But not
only for “taxes”, but for greed. Look, I get something in return
for “taxation”, I get only grief in return for this idiot faction
bent on a lazy lifestyle at thinking up ways to pilage my hard earned
loot. “Extra” disposable income is but a dream for most – as it
is paycheck to paycheck to payoff what it takes to serenade even a
modest lifestyle. Hand out there, hand out there some more, nothing
left-over in the end. Sure I am fortunate to have a job that offers
“Over-Time”, but it ain't worth it to be gone away from the
family way too much. And back when Carter was in charge, he proposed
a bill that would “Un-TAX” over-time, realizing that when we are
required to spend more time at work then at play, why in hell should
we be made to pay for it – as it was a penalty especially if it
sent an individual into a higher tax bracket! That bill failed, due
the Hsub! We have become guinea pigs to this ”Bratism” faction.
See, when gasoline prices started interfering with decency, even Bill
O'Rilley couldn't get his followers to face the music, as he called
for a boycott during the 4th of July. Nobody came, for
once nobody listened to the bad breath of Rush! But in the end, we
let them have their cake and eat it too, we suffer, they smile over
Don Perignon and caviar – that we paid for! Why are we so weak when
it comes to protecting our hard earned income? Oil companies have
been in the business a long time, but what was too become a sweeping
blow to “Earl” came about from the “Brats” taking over the
greatest personal income threatening lobby today, that being the
“Telecommunication” industry. That which provides a service that
interferes with privacy, interferes with decency and interferes with
my peace and quiet – at bus and train depots, soon on planes and
just about everywhere one tries to find some semblance of solitude.
Look, I don't want to hear about your problems, or your prejudices or
your...please just shut up for once! I was in the mountains the other
day, instead of minding their business and enjoying the legends of
John Muir, it was just a rude blitzkrieg of cell phone maddness – I
for one am not addicted to a silicon chip! And talk about solitude
lost, what is with that guy selling cell phones that one can take to
the grave, with a battery that lasts forever, so spouses can “chat”
with the deceased? “Hi Al, how are the worms”? See, when cell
phones started becoming a common nuisance, many of us saw an
opportunity to regain respect, by trying to limit the nuisance –
either through restricted zones or by incorporating technologies used
extensively in Israel – where cell phone blocking technology makes
assholes addicted to the wireless voice “chip” behave. But the
“TC” lobby went crying to the Congress, as any interference with
“service” even for a flippant micro-second meant a loss in
revenue. So it became a “crime” to utilize any sort of blocking
technology – wherein the “TC” brats convinced those in
Congress with a blank check. Look the reason we see traffic accidents
happening at increasing rates comes about from assholes addicted to
the “chip” not paying attention, and everybody's rates are
escalating, it is due that addiction with “Twitter” and instead
of fixing the problem we see another ways and means for competition
taking away more of that paycheck – “Tax'm” to the poor house”.
Yes again, the “Brats” at work. So with Congress in its back
pocket, way down deeper then any other lobby and a realization that
this industry had succeeded in addicting an entire nation on “Cell
Phones”, it saw an opportunity to reign “Almighty” by
unadulterated price increases, basically the “Brats” had figured
out just how far the addicts would reach into their savings to
placate “Can You Hear Me Now” and that was about to interfere
with “Big Oil's” interest, as it was cited that people would
boycott and stay at home and pacify that “communication”
addiction and not waste gas. So it was an old technology verses a new
technology, both fighting for every penny it could scrounge upon, as
a penny spent is a penny earned. Bottom-line, when we see how much
influence a “lobby” has upon Congress, that evaluates the “evil”
villain factor behind such obstructionism. What's good for the lobby
is not essentially good for the economy – that means US! So the oil
men saw what was coming down the pike by the “Telecommunication”
giants trying to rape us from the front and behind at the same time,
so intervened, by framing an interest and excuse that oil production
was at a plateau and would soon start a steady decline. And
over-night, the price of oil that had been sitting in the $30 range
jumped, it spiked, then settled down at $100 and has been pretty much
stable in that arena for a long time. How & Why? Because when it
is all said and done, the oil investors are now getting their fair
share of our wealth, yes the “Brats” saw another opportunity to
strangle the oil industry, which means we take it in the.....again.
Take the essentials, food, shelter, fuel and unfortunately the
“cell”. Hey, doesn't the word “cell” have a different
meaning? Yes, we are all in prison with this device now our vise. On
the average, we Americans are paying about the same for those
services. But oil men are smarter then the phone jockeys and “Brats”,
as they also realized that they have a stake in the entire economy,
not just a side-show. So even though the balance is in effect, in
retrospect “Big Oil” wins out again, as they have the entire
supply chain now catering to its demands. Why do you think a majority
of oil companies and local “COOP” utilities have by now engaged
in “Telecommunications”? Because of the lucrative loop holes, the
encouraging loop holes that allows for unabated wealth, tax shelters
with tax benefits alone that make the oil man's “shelters” timid.
They just didn't see it coming with the “TC” so were slow in
getting on board. Honestly, we always hear about attacks on “Big
Oil” CEOs and humongous corporate profits! Want scary news, compare
that to what is happening in the “TC”, as that is where most of
the 1% are hiding out. And when one considers the infrastructure to
get oil from a well to a refinery to a pump, in comparison for
radio-waves to get from here to there, the “TC” industry is by
far the “evilest”, and yes we are addicted to it - far more
addicted to the “cell” then we are to oil. We drive nowadays for
necessity, with respect to a “cell”, only a 911 call is of
necessity. Most “providers”, which boils down to political clout
have Congress at bay. Matter of fact, some leading economists blame
the “TC” for the economic wows this nation is still facing today
– following the “IT” bubble bursting as it doesn't provide
anything towards a solid foundation that encourages an economic
wellness – basically toys will be toys. And Alaska is to thank for
this preferential treatment that the “TC” now enjoys at the
consumers expense - as when Ted Stevens was still in control of
Washington, he saw too it that many of the existing “TC”
regulatory rules that worked to the consumers advantage were so
conveniently gutted, ruined for favoritism. I don't need to go into
details, but Ted was killed being a whore for the “TC” lobby. So
when I hear people continue to bash “Big Oil”, hey “Can You
Hear Me Now? But we should be on guard with this “Bratism”, as
this new age rich kid game is infiltrating all sectors of the economy
– it is just a game to those that never have to worry about working
for a living - being gainfully employed that is - and when they find
out how lucrative it is to start wars...then the “Bush” doctrine
has won and failed this nation, like it was intended to do so - it
just takes time!
