AMERICAN DINGLE BERRY SALAD
AWARD WINNER!
or
Why I am liking the word "isolationist" more each day...
Is there rank, outrageous speculation going on in the commodities markets? Hell yes! Is the imperialist war over controlling the remaining petroleum reserves in the Persian Gulf? Hell yes! Is world demand for oil growing faster than the greedy suppliers can provide? Hell yes! Are we going to continue to get screwed by all of the above? Hell yes! Read this article and think about it. One of the dumbest articles I have ever read in Counterpunch appeared the other day by a guy named ISMAEL HOSSEIN-ZADEH. He writes:
[excerpt] "In this study I will first argue that the Peak Oil theory is unscientific, unrealistic, and perhaps even fraudulent. I will then show that war and military force are no longer the necessary or appropriate means to gain access to sources of energy, and that resorting to military measures can, indeed, lead to costly, not cheap, oil. ..."
I had a guy make a similar argument with me two years ago; peak oil - bad theory, plenty oil - yes! War is just a bad way to take it, that's all, it's just bad manners. Oil companies, oil developing countries - good! Who was that guy back then? A petroleum engineering student from the Middle East. Bullshit!
Meanwhile 75% of the Chrysler Building in New York City was sold to a Middle East finance fund, yesterday. I don't give a rat's ass what this guy thinks - I don't like him or all the rotten bastards involved in this "business." They're out there, many with American financial capitalists re-patriating, moving their money abroad ... read Ismael Hossein-Zadeh and be critical.
Jesse Jackson had it wrong.
It's Nut Cutting time in the Empire!
There are apologists for the 21st Century Robber Barons, in all their skin colors and nationalities and it's nut cutting time for this breed of hog, American or not! I'm thinking the whole damn country needs to get "off the grid."
- Shut down all the U. S. military bases abroad,
- nationalize the oil, energy companies and railroads in the United States [before they're sold off, too],
- take the National Guard [what's left of them] up to Detroit and stick some machine guns in the Big Auto CEOs faces and tell'em to start making electric vehicles, NOW!
- Take the money saved from shutting down the Pentagon, and pour it into universal medical care for all!
- And while we're at it, throw every American business person who has money outside this country in jail.
Get a clue ... and psssssst, do something.
