During the election, gas prices fell. I called it manipulation by BushCo, to help soften feelings toward Republicans. And that prices would then rise after the election. They did.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=2872768My reply insisting that they would indeed rise again after the election isn't in this thread, or search. However, that is exactly what I wrote, and is exactly what then happened. It should be easy to find, being within a limited time period after the above link.
I have said in these fora that Bush and his OPEC friends were always and only after the oil in Iraq (and Iran as well). I wanted to dig up this post to reinforce that these people are indeed directly manipulating oil prices by controlling the supply. And are profiting wildly. And we're paying them out of our pockets to seize the oil they're selling back to us for years of record profits.
SUCKERS! HAHAHAHAHA! -George Bush, oilman.
Had enough of BushCo? Impeach now, or the next president won't have the power to change this international oil monopoly. Don't leave Bush and friends walking around free, to continue the rape and humiliation of America. Remember Enron and California, a phony crisis of supply and demand? Which caused the ousting of the Democratic governor and the installation of a republican wildcard? Remember Enron being one of Bush's main contributors? Remember what Reagan/Bush/CIA did to Iran and Iraq, and through OPEC, to Jimmy Carter?
They could do it all again, unless they're removed and contained. Immediately. Impeach and prosecute now.
(In 2003, prior to the Iraq invasion, I said that oil was the main issue in the drumbeat to invade, on the Analogue Heaven Off Topic mailing list. I don't know if it's still in those archives, but the keywords would be "ding plotpoint oil" if anyone wanted to search. I also called Bush and friends "glass makers who go around throwing rocks through windows and leaving their business cards..." Just looking to reinforce my statements on these monsters. I'm horrified to be this right about them, because of the size of the problem that is revealed.)
All you have to do is look in their eyes, if you can bear it, to understand these things and to then make easy predictions. Looking at them with the volume on your TV turned off helps as well. Try Malcolm Gladwell's book "Blink" for more techniques to reveal the truth. The Truth demands immediate impeachment and =massive= reparation. Please know the depth of the international rape we're facing and demand immediate impeachment.
It will only get worse if we don't remove them. Simply waiting for a new President won't impede BushCo's power structure. And pardon my social retardation- I don't know how to present this without sounding pedantic and dominating. However, the facts stand and should by now be clear to everyone. The required action also stands...
