You’d think by now world markets would stabilize and the price would be an idicator that is determined by the stability of many western suppliers of oil. Any excuse to push the price higher….

Time to trade food for oil and harvest our own oil resources.

Yep, we’re about to get f*cked …

Keep your hard earned money in the US and fill up with bio fuels. Even though there is not many reserves left in America we should be drilling anyway.

There has been an outright disinformation campaign lodged against ethanol to keep Americans confused and misinformed. The greatest thing we can be doing for our country right now is burning corn.

Don’t believe the propaganda that bio-fuels are the reason food cost is going up.

Oil companies are trying to undermine the bio fuels industry and remove any competition they have so that they can control the ever depleting resource we know as crude oil - he who controls the last drops of oil will control the world. As long as the world still depends on oil.

Keep telling yourself that. Forgive me if I don’t feel the need to sacrifice our economy in the name of manbearpig.

My “conspiratorial mind” has been kicking me in the last couple weeks regarding the whole food shortage ‘news attention’ of late.

WHY are there so-called shortages?

Have there been catastrophic natural or political (war on a biblical scale) events that has interrupted crop planting/growth/harvesting and food production?

1) What we have seen is corrupt governments in places like Africa and Venezuela confiscating once productive and lucrative farmlands … taking government control of, or turning them over ignorant, NON-productive folks in an asinine socialist ideology of collectivism and anti-capitalism that feeds and benefits no one. And there is NO diversification in society if core industries/businesses fail (see MY area post-steel mills).

2) Nothing in this 21st Century world happens in a vacuum. Remember those coloring books when you were a kid … the “connect the dots” pages? You can connect the dots in everything that is going on right now with the oil/gas prices … and NOW the panic over food shortages. The “shortages” are less a result of failed crops … and partly due to the whole ethanol movement in the agriculture industry … but more to do with the ‘food companies/distributors’ who 1. have to also deal with the high cost of fuel … and 2. want THEIR piece of the market(s) pie in this surge for higher prices and US dollar devaluation. How do they do this? By claiming such shortages and having the slobbering MSM push, push, push the stories … while causing the markets to climb and climb.

3) So, who benefits from all this not-so-coincidental high price/shortages “hype”??? One group comes immediately to MY mind … The global warming cult. I won’t get into the tangled web that is their hidden agenda, but I will say their core belief is to control, control, control the population of the world (via horrifying the ‘masses’), and most specifically the industrial western world, and particularly the United States … via taxes (going primarily to the UN or whatever ‘world organization’ they hoist up as the answer to the world’s problems) and forced, non-representative ‘world laws’. And make NO mistake, in the future you will begin to hear a ChiCom-like push for strict population control … never mind this will not be aimed at third world and underdeveloped countries (and the non-indigenous Muslim births rising and thriving in Europe) that ARE the ones whose populations are on the rise (with the Western populations of this country and Europe dropping drastically). THIS whole “Zero Population Growth” and “Population Decrease” agenda has been decades in the making. I recall reading articles and seeing books in the book stores (SOME even geared at children) about how there isn’t enough food to accommodate all the people who selfishly populate the globe, and increase their numbers everyday … I have to laugh every time I hear such crap … and then hear a public service announcement for some health condition or disease that kills X-number of people within the time it took you to hear the heart-wrenching ad. So, if you add up ALL the “This many people have died from THIS in the time it took you to listen to this …” and ALL the numbers of people who have died of natural/unnatural/ accidental/murder causes, AND THEN compare and contrast it to the supposed “This many babies are born every minute” … and I know you have seen those damn population tally boards where the numbers continue to roll in increasing numbers … I KNOW there is a reasonable balance there … especially when you DO factor in the infant mortality rates of those third world/underdeveloped countries.

But then, THAT would mean the average lazy-assed listener who has been sucked into the population-out-of-control mantra via “feelings and fear”, and NOT using logic and reasoning (remember, I would have pulled an A in that class had I not gotten pissed at the teacher and dropped it), would actually have to stop and talk back to the radio (as I do) when they say “THIS many people have died from THIS since you have been listening to my voice …” … HEY! So, that means at that rate we’ll ALL be dead in due time.

But I digress … in an attempt to inject my doubts that the price of oil on the market and the food shortage hype are, at the very least, a major push for manipulating market prices and screwing, basically, the USA to some degree … maybe even trying to influence our election.

If you want to see the markets go ape-shit imagine if the President came out and stated he was allowing drilling on our own territories and authorizing the construction of a couple new oil refineries on our own shores.

But those are my thunks in order to contribute to the conversation and keep it flowing …

Ethanol is not going to replace gas but it can and is making a dent in lowing our imports and buy us more time until better technologies come on line.

Regardless, I’m not worried as gas will be $5.00 a gallon probably this time next year and in three years it will be approaching $10.00 per gallon.

So I’m sounding the alarm now to anyone who has ears, let them listen.
