BACKGROUND & FOLLOWUP
The ill fated Deepwater Horizon drilling platform a close to billion dollar investment was constructed by South Korean based Hundai Heavy Industries LTD, managed by Transocean Resources (Swiss) and leased for drilling operations by BP (British Petroleum) to explore and find a deep oil pocket 18,000 feet below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico some 80 miles south of the state of Louisiana and some 200 miles from New Orleans. This pool of oil and gas may be the second largest in the world. It may also explain why BP is reluctant to abandon this site.(ref http://freerepubblic.com/focus/f-news/2520951/posts).
Was this sabotage? UPDATES
On the day (4-20-10) before Vladimir Lenin's birthday is celebrated as "Earth Day" (April 21st) BP had already reached the oil bed by horizontal drilling and the well was successfully capped. Then umexpectedly fractured releasing a huge cloud of natural gas through its venting system which ignighted and destroyed the huge oil drilling platform killing 11, but 126 survived and with it disabled its multiple BOP (blow out proof) systems preventing any such leaks.
Eventually, within 36 hours, the rig completely collapsed and sank into the sea taking with it the well head connecting pipeline (riser) from which the oil would have been pumped out of and placed into oil tankers. But oil is not seeping just from the well head a 5,000 plus feet below, but also from the, 21" outside diameter fractured pipe line designed to take a 15,000 psi, known as the riser. Because of the collapse of the massive drilling platform/rig the riser now lay lying crumpled for thousands of feet on the sea surface floor .
The question was would a pressure blow out known in drilling terms as a "hiccup" not just shove the capping and redundant BOP (blow out proof) safety system aside or completely bypass it enlargeing the hole around the casing .Leaving those valves remain almost intact and become the only source of seepage. Instead oil is also seeping out of the rigs oil well supply line (riser) as well. Suggesting that the pipe line to the well head is still partially or even completely connected.
Tinfoil or Kevlar Hats Anyone ?
PUT EM AWAY
Because the tin foil hat brigade is claiming the well head nearly 6000 (5836') feet down was struck by a torpedo ! Enter NKSS Dai Hong Dai, a North Korean supply ship which was apparently being tracked by of all people the Russian Navy, as it left Havana Cuba's harbor . A Russian Naval source claimed aboard this vessel were two NK mini subs who's range is about 200 miles round trip, armed with Chinese heavy duty torpedos. It was supposed to be going to Venezuela but veered off course and at one point was found to be a confirmed 130 miles away from South Korea's Deepwater Horizon off the Louisiana coast. Russian naval sources reported this to Russian news sources which was picked up by european english language media.
While some are eager to discredit such sources lets not forget Russians broke the climate fraud scandal. And the curious trip of the Hai Dong Hai did happen
Those torpedos are the kind which the South Koreans eventually admitted sunk one of their warships.
The sea at a depth of 5,000 feet is a punch press with tons and tons of pressure per square inch. Could a Chinese made torpedo withstand that pressure and operate successfully ? Likewise those NK mini subs. Could the north Koreans build such a sub? They built the atom bomb. Yes they probably could but would it sustain a depth charge because this seems to be maybe (yet to be proven) damage caused by an explosion . The only way, if this was sabotage , any explosive package could have been delivered at that depth would be by a remote delivery system unwinding thousands of feet of cable (neither have to be that big or thick) to its controlling system in its mother of a mini sub (requiring a larger crew) hovering near the surface and miles away, destroying the riser connection to the well head and its BOP system.
A study of the debris field tells a different story . Whether we ever learn what really happened, and its not miss-reported or used to advance some agenda, is another matter. Already Obama has sent "swat teams" to the remaining US drilling platforms and suddenly they have ceased operations. If North Korea actually did this and admits to it, and this is a feat mind you if they did, time to doff the tin foil, and put on the Kevlar. But lets rule the torpedo conspiracy theory out !... Ahh but there is the report that prior to the blow out there was a flickering of lights before the explosion happened.

After several attempts the large dome proved not workable. Lighter gases venting from the riser break began collecting at the top of the dome and eventually formed hydride crystals which began collecting into a stiff spongey mass, lifting the big dome after those hydrides clogged the opening called the funnel designed to extract the oil which would be pumped to a oil tanker a mile above.
Water at this debth is 2300 psi (pounds per square inch) enough to crush everybone in your body and much denser than jello .Its pitch black without sunlight very cold near freezing. These are the conditions those robots operate in. If lets say a robot dropped a wrench from 3 feet it would be interesting to find out how long it would take it to reach the ocean floor.

While most everybody knows that those expensive curly-que
fluorescent light bulbs have been mandated by congress and your incandescent
light bulb will be banned in 2012. There are still some folks who don't know
they are hazardous if broken, (leave the room to let the mercury settle call EPA for instructions) and must be disposed at approved EPA
sites warning their little Freddy Krugers not to gleefully break them into a thousand pieces.
...The EPA now has this in store for any home owner of a building built before 1978.
April 22nd is the EPA deadline when painters, plumbers, and
other remodeling sub contractors must present their lead hazmat removal
certifications, don their hazmat outfits, be ready to seal off any bathroom
,kitchen, windows (which also may contain lead) they may work on. Then cart away
those old fixtures to an approved EPA site (after paying a disposal fee of
course). All this while charging an additional "G" note (
known as a "grand" or a thousand $$ ) or more to cover for the additional
licenses, forms ,clothing, and insurance, which will be required by
law.
Passing that extra charge on to any homeowner who has a building
built before 1978 they may wish to remodel. Of which there is an estimated 30
million laying around. This was done because of the government
assumption that all buildings constructed before that time 1978, were
painted with lead based paint even if they weren't. You must
understand one size fits all and every home has children under 6 years of age
working like little beavers all knawing on windows sills and wood trim .Of course there was no
inquirey into what happened to the millions of kids years before or the 32 years since
then . Using jingoistic feel good slogans, dire warnings, pseudo
science, plus phoney statistics unquestioned by an agenda driven media, a huge
weed like Jacks beanstalk grew and grew until like kudzu they, the EPA, are
everywhere.
How was this shoved on the unsuspecting public ? Its because the
EPA made a masterfull decision to make the EPA a self sustaining perpetuated elite corps. By issuing its edicts piece meal through its regional offices. As these
regional offices became staffed with the necessary inspectors ready to pounce
upon any contractor demanding compliance or face stiff fines up to $36,000 for
violations. The EPA regional offices began issuing warnings here and there and
in that way sane members of society borne in the 30s-40s-50s and 60s would
not let out a united scream of ....This is Nuts !!... What Hell Are You
Doing ?.......

Scientific reports from Canada has indicated that the the shrinking arctic ice sheets have begun to replace themselves rapidly. Strongly suggesting the earth instead of warming, is begining to cool down. It is because of the reduced rate of sun spot activity. Professor Timothy Patterson was not looking to refute the assertion that man created CO2, (carbon dioxide) was the cause of global warming. Patterson was selected by the Canadian government to study the fluctuations in certain types of fish populations. In publishing his findings the Canadian geo scientist the professor of Carelton University urged a go-slow on the rush for governments to "Play God" with global warming legislation. Blaming this on man made CO2 (carbon dioxide) discharges. Patterson reached his conclusions by studying deep fjords along the Western Canadian coast where deep pools of low oxyginated water exist. The Patterson study originally reported in Canada's Financial Post reached deep into the earths recent past of 4000 years of undisturbed sediments. Patterson found that when aquatic activity was highest and lowest in those collected sediments having high aquatic content Had matched known solar protection when the magnetic wind was highest, and dropped off when earth magnetic fields activities were lowest.Thus causing cosmic radiation to intensify. Then because the earth became unprotected by its magnetic fields from galactic cosmic activity. Patterson cites several accepted theories which concludes this then created cloud activity during such periods which drasticly increased. Thus cooling earth and bringing in its ice ages. In his presentation here is a professor which made an important discovery while not looking for it, specifically global warming ,is urging more scientific study (like Pope Benedict XVI) is needed. That politicians including Al Gore, of The Earth Is Flat Society," don't know what the hell they're talking about". Strongly suggesting that the global warming may be caused by exhailing politicos rather than serious scientific examination. Patterson seems to be saying before Canadians start investing in palm trees they should be considering better parkas because what goes up must come down and the Mexicans better move over for a reverse population flow. The Financial Post story was featured in The Drudge Report, and World Net Daily, which are linked in The US Mat's last page. But lost due to source link changes .

SUN PLAYS MAJOR ROLE EXPLAINS GEO SCIENTIST
GLOBAL WARMING AND THE PATTERSON EFFECT
While doing so the Canadian Geo-Scientist found a correllation when certain species of fish had high population and then drastic drop offs. He discovered these fluctuations corresponded with sun spot activity and solar radiation vs cosmic activity. When earth cooling occured.
Legislating emission corrections attempting to control a natural cyclic occurance caused by;earth tilt, sun spots, the magnetic solar wind, and cyclic earth magnetic polarity reversal, among other natural occurances including vulcanism, meteors etc. Any one of the former probably plays a very significant role in climate change than CO2.
Yet ignorantly blaming man made CO2 emissions for climatic change. which is becoming rapidly discredited and a miniscule cause of global warming Patterson asserts in his article published by Canada's Financial Post. 6/20/07

After WWII housing stock turnover was regulated by this rule which was depending upon the lendor. The downstroke (earnest money put down on the principal for a loan) ranged from 20% up to 40%. With the election of President James Earl Carter because of the inflationary spiral and high interest rates which occured during his administration put the housing market into a depression. The closing of Chicago Stock yards as an example some hispanics lost their jobs and their homes threatened in an area on the southside of Chicago known as Back of The Yards. Causing the CRA or community reinvestment act be ensconsed into the American guilt psyche. While the Archdiocease of Chicago which once had the third largest school district in the US (1950=60) lost that standing. The biggest population shift and Catholic school closings were yet to occur during the years of 1993-01 when the Clinton administration greatly expanded the Community Reinvestment Act begining with James Johnson who left Fannie Mae 2007 after making 26M$ under a cloud of suspicion along with every F&F CEO since.

The finger of guilt points to members of both major political parties. The "Progressives" claiming they're "Democrats" and the Republicans who when in control of the congress exposed it but did nothing. Bush announced a melt-down in lending institutions suggesting Bush's treasury boss taking charge of funds disbursal rather than leaving it in the hands of entrenched politicians who would lard up their constituents. Which they did. Bush called for a "Czar" of a new government Department of Dole that starts at $700,000,000,000 billion which would underwrite "ify" paper bought by F&F (Fannie Mae- Frank Mac) mortgage houses (which already has 300 billion allocated) and AIG mortgage insurance. Many sub prime loans were resold in bundles to foreign lenders
RECAP
In the year 2008 two meltdowns occured, lending, and fuel prices. On 9/15/08 President Bush reacted to "sub prime" mortgage lending practices promoted by Barrack Obama through the group known as ACORN, and protected by key democrats in both the House, Barney Frank, and Senate, Christopher Dodd.
SUB-PRIME BAILOUT PROLOG
In 2000, the highly respected New York City Journal a quarterly publication published a detailed review by Walter Husuck titled "The Trillion Dollar Bank Shakedown"
It forewarned of 9/15/08 and the dangers ahead
Another warning from 2000 by Fred Smith Investors Business DailyBoth are indeed presciencent in describing the activity taken by the promoters of this legislation. For the
The Husuck article though not mentioning by name Obama/Ayers distribution of funds ll to activist groups which are laboring today for his 08 election as the Democrat candidate for US president ironically fostered by the Clinton (Democrat) administration.
Cullminating ala "Immigration Reform" with (Republican) President G.W. Bush urged by a major US bank - Goldman Sachs ( Secretaries from the same bank also served in the Clinton administration) demanding immediate action which critics were saying would elevate the office of Secretary of The Treasury to Czar. With the power to nationalize or discipline infractions by financial institutions.
The issue came to a first vote on 9/29/08 with 40% of Democrats who have the majority and could carry the proposal voting against the modified bill. Much of the Paulson proposal went by the boards when it came for the House to revise the proposals. Was this a procedural setup ? The socialists could have delivered without any "bipartisan" help. This was a "I voted against it before I voted for it excuse" now will it be including pork for the (ACORN) nuts. This is what happens when you let the coyotes (Franks, Dodd, Obama et all) guard the goose that lays the golden eggs
Chucked were rewards and other pork placed there by Barney Frank to LaRaza, and ACORN, the activist group which through Obama's efforts caused this debacle in the first place. Reported WI (R) Paul Ryan.
In addition Ryan had the bundle cut in half from 700 big B's to 350 big "B's" with a return to congress with hat in hand if more funds are needed along with penalties for the greedy ones. The proposal was supported by Ryan and McCain who are warning the American people of dire consequences if the bailout does not occur. What Ryan feared was that those reforms conservatives put into the bill will not reappear in any revised bill since voted down with Democratic votes who has the majority in both houses .
McCain wasn't alone in his backing even Newt Gingrich worked the phones " (where was Obama ?).
Who Voted What On The Bailout lst House Vote on Bailout
AYERS AND OBAMA AND THE MAZE OF MILLIONS THEY DOLED OUT THROUGH THE >WOODS FUND 2 On 8/27/08 Chicago's WGN's staid 9-11pm weeknight talk show host of Extension Seven Twenty, Dr.(and professor) Milt Rosenberg, ran into an unacustomed buzz saw of threats,accusations,and criticism generated by the Obama camp when he hosted National Review's Stanley Kurtz, who after being denied access to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge files was given a day access to them and reported his preliminary findings on Rosenberg's show. Astonished show host Rosenberg was bombarded with tied up phone lines and howdareU SOB emails . What was interesting was the reaction of the following early am WGN talk show hosts, gulped. Worse yet the WGN'radio news department that was locked in agendum busy blessing St Obama reported and said; NADA ! Ignoring an inconvenient major news story breaking within the confines of their own building by their own highly respected talk show host. Careening off the highway the SUV swerved and crashed through the storefront striking a display pallet of compact fluorescent bulbs demolishing hundreds of bulbs as dozens of store patrons watched in horror. Those compact flourescent lights in a speech on the dangers of Compact Fluorescent Lights in the US House of Representatives ..Congressman Campbell (R)CA pointed out; Beside the noise they create over your radio. The EPA warning and regulations on mercury poisoning from these bulbs. "If one bulb were dropped and broken in the chambers of the House of Representatioves the place would have to be evacuated". . What the congressman from California should have done but didn't was: Demand that the EPA require at minimum a printed public warning on each package about the dangers of using these mandated light bulbs and ultimately issue a recall, or, dismiss their instructions on disposal and use as excessive, and issue a revision. Despite strident warnings from members in and outside the scientific community, including Pope Benedict,also known as "Il Papa" POPES STATEMENT that climatic changes may be a natural occurance and avoid over reacting with meaningless and ultimately harmfull legislation. That statement by Pope Benedict covered through a reliable source (London Daily Mail) amazingly has been ignored. No one ( and don't expect this from the agenda driven MSM ) ever mentions what this leader of a religious instituion which has experienced the results of pseudo science pontification cautioned. Pope Benedict XVI's observation should be shouted from the rooftops. But its ignored ! Even the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and my favorite Laura Ingraham, or Michael Savage. The only person to pick up on it of all the talkies was Dennis Praeger who brought it up once, but rarely reminds his listeners of this statement. Not even the learned Hugh Hewitt brought it up With the winter of 2007-08 it is now begining to appear in both hemispheres, northern and southern, that the earler warnings of an incomming earth cooling caused by solar sun spot fluctuations a period may be begining to occur. While a comendable effort is being made to control effluents (polution) caused by the production of energy using what is popularly called "fossil fuels" evidence that this is causing "global warming" even by empirical observations is begining to manifest itself as a falacious pseudo scientific conclusion. Scientific arguments have advanced challanging that position which claim that while certain beneficial aspects of "clean air, water,and in some cases the earth itself " have occured. It has had a miniscule effect on "global warming". Advocates of "Global Warming" are resorting to pseudo (Phoney) science, some of whom may have a financial interest in advancing that cause, or have a political agenda and have been busy issuing hyperbolic reports or statements that remain unquestioned by MSM. These eagerly reported by main stream media which is demonstrating its factual untrustworthyness on that subject. Examples: Recent sea ice reductions in both polar caps for example have been caused by volcanic activity. Deep beneath a glacier in Antartica, a lake was discovered meaning the earth is warming from the bottom. In the Arctic the sea bed is heating causing the sea ice to melt. both apparently caused by volcanic activity. How can this (volcanic activity) be attributed to poluted air ? But poluted air being attributed to melting ice caps and "global warming ". Excessive hyperbole.. Commercials by certain advocate groups show a little girl warning about Polar Bears disappearing from the earth. This when the state of Alaska's DNR reports an increase in Polar Bear population. But the most blatant example of bad legislation in the 2007 mandated phase out of the common filament light bulb which according to the US Congress uses too much electricity be replaced with a product known either as a CFB or CFL compact fluorescent bulb (or light) which has dangerous amounts of mercury in it . These should be sold with a consumer warning plainly displayed on each bulb that breakage would cause a severe health hazard. The reason the pope made that statement is explained in this satirical piece written two years ago in Moses's Opuses If you take your hand held (portable) radio set to any AM frequency and bring it near to any CFB, (compact fluorescent bulbs) TV set, or computer, you will get RFI radio frequency interference. In most cases the greatest RFI will come from CFBs and it will affect radio reception in certain frequencies from furthur away in other rooms in the house than those other devices mentioned. When am radio was in its heyday that bulb would not have been produced and banned by the FCC. Take one of those mandated screwy bulbs and try it, they are noisey !Was this done to silence those pesky anti global warmists ?? Its fun to ask if some members of congress knew about this and decided to get even with those malicious right wing talk show hosts. The answer seems to be hardly, because that requires knowledge of what the hell congress is voting on and the unintended consequences of their well intentioned actions.
In 2007 Congress passed a law signed by the outgoing President Bush which will phase out incandescent light bulbs without addressing problems their required replacements will create. Demonstrating that when it comes to the pros and cons of bills which should be considered those holdover liberals in congress who truly believe they know whats good for you will vote on the side of hy-per-bo-loney everytime. It will take another congress and another President to modify this stupid mandatory and it will happen for it is another law with unintended consequences. Here is why... lets begin with those compact fluorescent bulbs CFBs... Beside the affore mentioned RFI. CA (R)When Congressman Campbell called this to the attention of the American public on the House floor, along with the hazmat dangers of using these things, he also brought up RFI radio frequency interference. As governments begin to mandate use of compact mercury laden fluorescent light bulbs Canada's Financial Post (subscription required) reported on a single 15 watt CFB accidentally breaking in a home in Maine that resulted in costing $2,000 plus in hazmat cleanup. This from of a single compact fluorescent light bulb ! Banning incandescent light bulbs is a one size fits all solution and any governmental edict should consider; Some "energy saving bulbs" emit a given light frequency which affect health (some people actually get headaches from CFBs). Is the state going to throw these people in jail because of their refusing using CFBs ? How about the market place deciding their use ? Others are used for their cheaper heat and light used in many applications, such as in pump houses, chicken coops, and other applications where heat and light are needed. This was not considered when incandescent bulb production, now mostly cheaply imported, was banned by law without a whimper from the pricier US fluorescent bulb producers, which are now are also outsourced to China. How about this ? Will light emitting diodes, a new generation of illumination in the midst of development leds which show the greatest promise of lowest energy use. Will they be put out of business ?...Why ??? Governments mandating anything particularly a product use restricts product development (and raises the question who is getting the money ?)is all ways suspicious. Mandating any product, CFBs, (and that includes ethanol) are stop gap measures which should have been driven by the market place not by laws. These legislative stupidities will have to be addressed eventually because of its legislative mandates and funding which prevent technological development What do you do when you have a weak candidate who is clearly inconsistant and pandering on positions ? You play the blame game and resort to political devices one of which is to play the race card. Listening to two "conservative" talkies, Bill Cunningham, on his Sunday PM show and Sean Hannity, in his Monday late afternoon show both interviewing black "conservatives". Each asked them to cite their reasoning why they're supporting Obama. Their answer boiled down to a very dissapointing "cause the color of his skin is the same as mine". What stupid logic ! In both cases it appears the respondents "conservative" core beliefs such as anti abortion, pro school choice, protection of marriage, are as deep as the membrane which covers their body. Lets hope not all "Black Americans " feel this way. Maybe Hannity,and Cunningham, should be interviewing these folks and not fall into the MSM "racist" type casting Black Republican Forum
. Democrats know once exploration and drilling begins oil prices will drop, and those projected increases in food and products might not happen before they can take over. They are relying on your disinterest, and MSM supporters which withold information .
Following this is an offering of survey questions concerning what we should do about shale (Bakken) oil.We urge conservative talk show hosts, and candidates for federal public office consider bringing up the Bakken Oil issue up on their shows or in their candidate questionaires.
This oil reserve has as much oil as Saudi Arabia and Iraq/ Iran combined. The difference between it and Arabian oil is that Arab oil is easier to get to thus cheaper. This US Geological Survey of Bakken (commonly called shale oil) type oil reserves show oil or natural gas (area in red) may be in your state or under your very toseies .USGS survey US OIL Reserves .
QUESTION #1.... QUESTION #2.... QUESTION #3 AT THE PRESENT TIME WITH THE HIGH PRICE OF OIL IT IS PROFITABLE TO EXTRACT SHALE OIL (Some of the problems involved DP Shell Oil) AND COMPETE ON THE GLOBAL MARKET. BUT ONCE THE MARKET FALLS BELOW THAT PROCESSING COST POINT THAT SOURCE LAYS FALLOW. SOUTH AFRICA DOES THIS WITH ITS COAL GASSIFICATION (turns coal into gasoline) PROGRAM WHICH COSTS REPORTEDLY AT US $25. PER BBL. TO ADVANCE BAKKEN (SHALE OIL)USE AS A RELIABLE SECURE SOURCE,ONCE AND ONLY DURING A PERIOD OF A BELOW SHALE OIL PROCESSING COST VS WORLD MARKET OIL PRICE. While we develop systems and products to renewable sources of energy WOULD YOU SUPPORT A MANDATED FIXED PRICE SUPPORT (TAX) ON CHEAPER FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OIL SOURCES USED IN THE US BASED ON THE MINIMUM COST OF PROCESSING BAKKEN OIL ? IF YES..1A(Yes but) .Please note if yes; If not carefully monitored such funds could turn into a huge boondoggle.
The high price of oil is based on the falacious assumption that oil is a "fossil fuel" .It's reserves are extremely finite. The facts are we still don't know the processes occuring in oils formation which may be a contiuning process. This when they're finding reserves all over the place recently off shore in the Falklands and most recently a huge find in Brazilian waters and of course US discoveries including the shale oil reserve. Next take the EPA protection act which is based on the assumption that CO2 causes global warming when water vapor which seems to not have been included in era analysis of gasses during earth warming epochs. The EPA then sets up seasonal refinement requirements for differing population centers for various US states based on assumed emissions, all of which adds to the price of fuel for that area. US Gov Refinery reports Or the jump through hoops requirements for establishing drilling and refineries. Another reason is the 262 page Commodity Futures Modernization Act HR5660 passed by a 377-4 vote and signed into law and signed by then President Clinton,known as Public Law 106-1554, which permits unregulated speculation in specialized commodities such as grains like rice,corn,and wheat, it also includes oil, and even electricity. In oils case through an "instrument" known as ICE (international comodities exchange)offering a "product" hedge funds.More on this follows below with links While most of our oil comes from Mexico or Canada and pipelined or trucked into refineries (so much for pipe lines blowing up in Iraq as an excuse to jack up prices).Shades of the late Joseph P Kennedy off shore hoarding of scotch while the liquor prohibition repeal act of 1933 was being debated, ownership of oil in a given super tanker could change 10 times before it ultimately reaches its destination. Everybody and their kin is buying buying barrels of oil on margins (futures) putting up short money then flipping which is driving the high prices in oil and its refined products including plastics,and fuels of all types . If speculators had to full front their buys this might stop or slow down. Latest on Comodities Futures Treading Commission. The problem in the US is the limited refining capacity and those EPA summer /winter formulas which could be produced during off months and stored but there is always a "shortage" . To make matters worse, state Democrat-socialist politicians in particular, get in a race with the fed and other states comming up with tighter formulations which (such as California) add to the price of the fuel, or support enviromentalists who support dependency on mideast oil. An example of this is in Wisconsin where at the entry point of Canadian gas, Superior, here pipelines of natural gas and oil originate and fan out to the Chicago and St Louis markets. At Superior a proposed badly needed refinery expansion proposed by an independent (Murphy Oil) but is being contested by environmental groups based in Madison WI. Murphy Oil is being VOCALLY , supported by local Democratic congressional members (D)Kagen, Obey,and Kind, but are supporting suing OPEC, demanding they (OPEC members) cough up more oil certainly not US and also voted against the latest expansion bill (scroll down to) to see how the house votes linked in this page. (note the Republican, Petri, has switched and supported the latest Republican effort to drill) So its not what they say its what they do which Wisconsin voters must pay attention to With grains its a little different. The stuff gets warehoused or refrigerated (as in eggs) until the speculators price is met then released. The ENRON people used those loopholes to drive up the price of electricity in California. Then there is the Department of Energy 2006 (at the height of Al Gores global warming hype) mandating emission standards of 5 parts million of sulphur vs 500 ppm in diesel fuel. That designation of 5 ppm requires a special type of low sulphur crude oil (known as Texas crude) be refined because its most cost effective in order to achieve that 5ppm. According to Steve Sommers trucker talkie of Cincinatti's WLW (also linked below)"Todays newer truck engines can't operate on 500 ppm". But was that mandated drastic reduction designed to satisfy global warming needed ? The following 1998 -2008 gas pump price comparison beween Canada and US shows what happens when government tinkers with environmental formulations and fuel sources If you notice they will never allow a discussion of the effects environmental formulations or exploration /drilling have on oil prices let alone the unintended concequences of the Commodity Futures Modernization Act Previously "Oil Futures Contracts" were limited to a five year price speculation. Usually those participating in this market were industry groups had a direct relationship to the commodity they were dealing with. With the changes in the 2000 law passed at close of the Clinton administration those close relationships with producers have been short circuted. In oils case participants in this market such as a large group of independent gas station owners,or a refinery offering its products to suppliers this industry group is in a bidding war competing with "Hedge Funds" and other "investment devices" which are buying contracts beyond that five year futures limit. Those industry groups are losing money. Who's making the money ? Certainly the percenters involved in the trading. It may be you if your pension fund is a participant,(If the fund is not too invested in futures 2+% note Sorros warning) its the suppliers or countries and states of oil origin, and of course some oil companies such as EXXON which has but 2% of the world market which are busy buying back shares instead of investing in exploration and product development. Why are they doing this ? Look at the draconian prohibitions enacted by Congress and followers of "Huben" {human benefit} obstructionism. Who are payers ? Any industry involved in transportation, tourism, shipments of anything, in short you !

Investigation of Funds Disbursal of Chicago Annenberg Challenge and jackbooted efforts to stop it.
In a foreboding precedent presidential candidate Obama seeks US regulators DOJ,& FCC stifle a 527 ad questioning relationship. Background, "http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2069008/posts" Neal Boortz; on Ayres ad by 527 via FR A
Kurtz indicated a close connection between close friend of the mayor, Commonwealth Edison CEO Thomas Ayers,interceeding for his son , U of I Prof William (Bill) Ayers, executive board member of the Woods Fund which is the central dispersal funding unit for several endowments. In 1960's when Obama was aged 6,Bill Ayers founded the radical group known as The Weather Underground ,which was accused of bombings and killings but never exclaimed any repentance for his actions. In 1999 with Prof William Ayers help, Barrack Obama, now in his late 30's became state Senator. Aided through Chicago political connections Obama succeeded Bill Ayers as chair of the Annenberg board of which Prof Bill Ayers was still a member. Together they managed the $50 million educational endowment from the Annenberg's, known as The Chicago Annenberg Challenge set up to advance education .
As Kurtz was relating how applicants requesting grants to advance education in math and science were flatly refused in favor of huge doles to ideolog activities from radical groups, including ACORN. Here another example <"http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2070466/posts"> A black radical group called for blacks not to celebrate the Fourth of July as Independence Day but the date of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation (called the Juneteenth celebration) received a reported $5 million grant and national contraversey.
There has been a ceaseless effort by radicals to silence freedom of critical information about Obama, that begins with CAC and continues most recently with Freddie Mac bankruptcy Freddie Mac contributions. Its been obscured by baseless political charges against the opposition or locked in the zone of silence. or . As print wonders why its going broke,and MSM remains unbelieved. As comity is passe',,and "in your face is in" ...until it gets punched out!
While I'm not certain it was picked up from THE US MAT.com To the best of this writers knowledge The US MAT.COM was the only site warning about EPA regulations on CFL disposal, mercury poisoning, and RFI radio frequency interference
WORSE YET BEING MANDATED BY CONGRESS
WHY IGNORING A WARNING FROM PAPA IS A BAD IDEA
Exposed..CFBs.. Liberal conspiracy to silence conservative talk shows ???
If one tries to listen to those folks on their AM radio which is short for amplitude modulation in a room illuminated by a congressional mandated mercury ladened compact fluorescent bulb you can't because of static generated known as RFI by that bulb.
AT MINIMUM REQUIRE A WARNING LABEL
IF NOT A RECALL AND NOT BE SOLD AT ALL
Individual states EPA departments are warning that if a mercury loaded CFB (compact fluorescent bulb) breaks in your home. You are to immediately exit the room for 15 minutes. Do not handle the bulb material with bare hands. Do not use an open system vacum cleaner to clean up the mess. (Damp down the remains to avoid floating particles and clean up manually).Then bring this hazardous material remains to the nearest EPA "authorized" dump site.
Is Another Political Device
Comming up: Diesel Prices,& The Costs of Global Warming,
Hyperbole by the same bunch of phoneys

For your edification and ironic reflection this is how they handled situations in the old days when Americans realized we were a country and citizenship to it meant something. If this happened today every perched professor would smell carrion. Their mush head followers would goose step forward preventing any discussion in their forums. Our MSM would scream for heads to roll. Like they are doing now. The question is would this discussion occur if that had taken place then and would this country be as great as it is if it did ?

THERE ARE NO WINNERS IN WAR
EXCEPT WHEN VICTORS AND VANQUISHED BENEFIT FROM ITS OUTCOME
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
JFK, DIEM, AND MALIKI
AND THE VIET NAM VS IRAQ COMPARISONS
There is a reason the obstreperous Iraqi PM Nori Maliki has not been long since dumped and it goes back to the revered Kennedy administration. This policy which is "Lets export our current concept of "democracy" which is even if the decision is to bring in people which are against our interests and have wound up in very terrible terms against the interests of the very people they wind up ruling" Despite the empirical evidence of these policies failures it has been continuously reinforced partciularly though intitutions including higher learning to this day. This was reapplied by the Carter Administration to Iran, and the PLO, but it traces its roots back to FDR,the OSS , The Weidermeier report, Mao, and Ho Chi Min. And why few Presidents really run policy at The Department of State. There is a reason few Senators ever get elected President of The United States, experience in administration. The references to JFK and to his administration have reached mythological proportions and its time to examine past history. Kennedy was right on when it came to fiscal policy but when it came to foreign policy we are still suffering the consequences of his decisions Forget the reported dalliances with sundry females which paraded through the White House including Norma Jean. AKA Marlyin Monroe. Rarely if ever do you hear a discussion about the first Cuban crisis, or the reported rifts between Kennedy and the elected President of South Viet Nam which was resolved with the assassination of Ngo Dinh Diem which left a vacuum of government leadership which plagued that conflict and led to the current result. Diem . Both were Catholics, the left at that time was busy reporting on Diem's favoring Catholics vs Buddists and that his government was rife with corruption (shades of China), which was fast becomming a political issue for Kennedy fostered by anti papists.The question which has never been raised is this ; In the midst of a civil war what would happen to the union if Lincoln (like Diem) was assassinated ? Why is Diem brought up ? Because past history draws a comparison between our past mistakes in Viet Nam and current history in Iraq particularly dealing
with the problematic Nori Maliki, the elected Prime Minister of Iraq who at every turn runs his mouth off against US frequently quoting American politicians like, Kerry, Durbin, and Murtha, but never reported by our MSM, and is a topic of several previous US Mat articles (scroll down to on this page) . Maliki will never be removed by US for the same reason Diem was...political correctness. But first JFK and Castro. When Kennedy refused to allow air strikes against Fidel Castro during the Bay of Pigs debacle, Castro took controlThe results has been since then besides all the mischief Castro has caused thoughout the years in this hemisphere, and the Cuban Missile Crisis et all. One thing is for sure, few Cuban emigrees ever vote Democratic. This conjecture that Castro had a hand in Kennedy's assassination is silly, why should he ? Putting it bluntly Kennedy saved his ass. One thing for sure though a communist convert did kill Kennedy. What would the Russians have done if we supported the Cuban insurrection ? It has yet to be proven historically perhaps 20 or so years from now, some "obscure documentation" will show up supporting this conclusion which your childrens children may learn about, but probably the same way the Russians reacted when the Berlin Wall was torn down. They looked and sighed about old times and that Georgian, Stalin, murderer of 20 millions who could not believe the Germans under the Nazi banner would invade Russia, and he following his political instincts would react likewise (he'd just sigh !).
Until Kennedy handled the Cuban missile crisis, which was this :"We'll let Castro stay but you ain't commin here" which is the policy to this day ! Plus getting murdered by a "Commie convert" was he deseveredly revered. Lets not forget ailing foreign leader Castro has "endorsed" both Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama Civil wars are very brutal things and if a country is survive strong leadership must be exercized, civil liberties get abridged, the question to the participants is this ?Are you for or against us ? Depending upon the answer and who does the questioning. One gets either displaced or dispatched . Viet Nam we lost. Directly due to MSN reporting and two very vivid depictions. One was the execution of a Viet Cong by a Viet Nam General in a civil war , and two, the depiction of a naked little girl being burned alive during a napalm attack which must have happened hundreds of times during WWII. We lost because its cause and effect became confused and the inability of the average American to understand what was at stake and our interference with its governance which didn't happen in Korea. The differences between Viet Nam, WWII, and Iraq, is this. We won those wars ! We set the parameters for the outcome. In Germany we have a democratic government and it took years , in Japan, thank you through the genius of Gen Douglas MacArthur, there is also a friendly democratic government. Where necessary we eliminated through sundry means those opposed to our aims. In Iraq we won a brilliant millitary victory. Alas, we got anxious because of US internal politics. After the revolution it took this country (US) more than 10 years to come up with a workable constitution. Should we expect any more from the average Iraqi as we are now doing? Some good reasons why Republicans should not debate on CNN -You Tube Talking Point The most senior conservative talk show host(in age) Mark Levin, featured Nebraska's Attorney General Jon Brunning, who will be opposing Senator Chuck Hagel, (R) Nebraska, in the upcomming 08 Nebraska Republican primary. lega
Yet many of those same pseudo lib anti military Democratic politicans responsible for the senate slumber party or the anti troop funding bills will not be facing opponents who should be getting out in the hustings now.
Take Congressman Dave Obey, (D)-4th WI architect of the sell out the troops funding bill is facing criticism from district members for his drafting of Earmarks legislation which would hide the funding of pork projects from public review in major funding bills. Obey's congressional office haughtily dismissed complaints by a tax watch group as a "publicity stunt". Then stated he would demark Republican "earmarks".

One of the measures in the Sensenbrenner (R WI) immigration
reform bill HR 4437 was the so called "criminalization" of illegal entry making
the offence a felony. With White House objections the eastern Wisconsin
Congressman revised this to a misdomeanor with 6 months max and a $50.00 fine
and sought democratic support. While that revision passed anyway . Many House Democrats rebuffed the revision taking the pandering position essentially "no punishment for illegal entry".
Much was made of this difference of position by media watch dog groups such
as Media Matters with the Republicans charging the democrats who had a chance to change the law refused to do it while Democratic party members went around
making inflamatory statements including "jailing priests who assist illegals" none of which happened thus far..
The simple fact is and where the Media Matters report is skewed. Is what the
House Democrats are essentially saying its not a crime to illegally cross our
border and enter our country. Something the Republicans should have charged but
didn't. Instead they misrepresented the democratic position by saying the
Democrats could have voted for "decriminalization" and also didn't. The kernel
of truth is by taking the position the Democrats have on this bill they once
again appear to be soft on crime and are. Sen Cornyn's Senate bill. ...
