When the big one comes, and it IS coming, it's going to be bad. Remember the oil fields burning after the first gulf war? Now imagine that in rural Oklahoma. Oklahoma's most populated areas (Tulsa, OKC) are both less than 100 miles away. Oklahoma's 2 largest universities OU in Norman and OSU in Stillwater are within 50 miles. This has the potential to be the most serious disaster in the history of OK and yet all the people see are $$$ in their eyes.

Also, the next video up on this YouTube channel has Rachel discussing
the proximity of new oil wells to Live Minute Man missile silos, and how
the oil train that blew earlier this year had just come past (within yards)
several of the silos. Greedy gamblers will bet the farm for a windfall,
their children's welfare be damned. They will not stop voluntarily.
