Oil Is The New Tea

The people have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge – I mean of the character and conduct of their rulers.

-John Adams

The primary core of life itself is that it is fraught with the most damnable of a union- events, and decisions.

I will begin by stating for the record that I am of no relation to Alex Jones, by blood, nor by conspiracy ideology. What I must relate to you here is for your good, and I pray, the good of those that I love. Of these decisions and events that predicate them, I can only say that while many may be right, some end in failure. In a divine act of Providence, however, mistakes generally can be corrected.

In 2006, I was made aware of the possible candidacy of Senator Barack Obama. As a combat veteran, I had grown deeply concerned of many grievances of my comrades in arms in relation to veteran healthcare, the lack of proper protection in combat, and to a degree, negligence on the part of our then Commander in Chief. I studied many of Senator Obama’s votes and actions, read his preliminary action statements on what he wished to achieve, and after deliberation and what I at the time deemed to be gentlemen’s honor, agreed to be the 46th person from the State of Georgia to support a future Obama Presidential campaign.

I am telling you this, simply so you may have an understanding of my intentions, and how I got to the place I am now. When I agreed to support the Illinois Senator, I sent a letter detailing that I supported his stances, and would also support with loyalty his campaign. However, if he were successful, and he did not fulfill his pledges, I would be a most bitter adversary. I would later state this to many who had aversions to my support for President Obama.

As you see, and I am most ashamed to say, I based my total judgment of character on faulty evidence. And here we are. I must now defend with my electronic pen and whatever intelligent speech and research I can muster the very rights I am due both as a human, and as an American. I must defend them without impunity from the very man I helped install into office. That is my duty as a father, citizen, soldier, and American.

So let’s begin. I have a story to tell you.

Let’s start with you, my reader. Picture yourself here, in a scene that is probably familiar. You wake up, groggy, and in your mind you are automatically calculating the payments you will have to make in the next week, and trying to determine what your budget will look like once you make them. Your throat is scratchy and you’re a little woozy. The sweats start, and you consider calling in to work. Then it hits you that you can’t.

If you stay out of work, you won’t get paid.

You look at your kids and ache a little, because this is not the life you meant for them to lead. They know you’re scared. They know it has to do with money. It affects your demeanor, your health, and kids aren’t stupid… they feel your fear.

Sometimes you think of a vacation. Nothing major, just a chance to get out of the house. But these days, you’re so frightened of losing the house itself that it eclipses any joy you had in the thought of vacation.

Gas prices are up, and now there’s oil in the Gulf of Mexico. If they jump to the currently predicted $7 a gallon, you and your family are dead meat. At some point, you will begin adding up the taxes that you actually pay, day in and day out, and begin wondering where that money goes. You’re about to find out just a few places.

Part of your tax dollars helped Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) buy a professional football team (that failed). They also help pay for her $18,736 a month office in San Fransisco. That is billed to you. Not her credit card. For her two year term as a Representative, you will pay $449,664 for her office space, and if we only count our payment for her rent and her paycheck, she will net $895,664. We haven’t touched transportation costs, meals, lodging or anything else.

There are 435 Representatives. Even if we argue the idea that everyone else spent only half of what she will, we still end up with $195 M. We haven’t addressed the Senators or any staff.

What do they do with their power? Are they battling for you, frustrated and weary, wondering how you will make ends meet? Maxine Waters (D-CA) held investment in OneUnited, a minority owned bank. She sold her shares in 2004, but her husband retained his, which would make sense, as until recently he was a director of the said bank. Ms. Waters used her influence in Congress to protect the bank (and its/her interests). Check this quote from the same Wall Street Journal article:

In January, Ms. Waters acknowledged she made a call to the Treasury on OneUnited’s behalf. The bank’s capital, which was heavily invested in shares of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, was all but wiped out with the federal takeover of the two mortgage giants, and the bank was seeking help from regulators.

OneUnited eventually secured bailout funds under the government’s $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program, which was set up later that month.

In a brief interview in January, Ms. Waters said she was unaware the bank received $12 million of TARP money, which arrived in December. OneUnited was “just a small” bank, she said.

A provision designed to aid OneUnited was written into the federal bailout legislation by Mr. Frank, who is chairman of the financial-services panel. Mr. Frank has said he inserted the provision to help the only African-American owned bank in his home state. He said in an interview that Ms. Waters’s interest “had zero impact on the outcome because I would have done it anyway.”

“Mr. Frank” is Barney Frank (D-MA). Don’t you think for a second that I’m going to let a fellow Jew off the hook if they are not behaving according to the principles of our faith.

President Obama’s $100,000 an hour jet airplane doesn’t help matters. Especially when it is taken on a little old daytrip (like the one you can’t afford to go on) that according to CBS News:

Mr. Obama spoke for just ten minutes and was on the ground in Ohio for just over an hour. And though his appearance was billed as official and not political, he did use his remarks to deliver attaboys to some of the Democratic politicians here including the Governor, who is up for re-election.

“You also got one of the best governors in the country in Ted Strickland,” the president said at the start of his remarks.

Strickland faces a challenge for his job in November from former GOP Congressman John Kasich, who was not at the Recovery Act event. Neither was Boehner.

The trip Columbus probably cost taxpayers between $500,000 and $1 million.

I know. We’re a big country. And we have lots of money, right? And the credit John Adams set up with the Dutch in the 1770′s is still good, right? Don’t we have good credit?

Ask Alan Greenspan. He’ll know. He always knows.

But now the story will begin to get ugly. You thought it already was? Eeek.

In comes George Soros. He is a billionaire investor, and President Obama is the stitching inside his pocket.

Remember during the campaign? Then-Senator Obama stated that the primary drive for his energy policy was one specific substance that he kept repeating over and over like a broken record… ethanol. Well, it just so happens that Mr. Soros is not only the primary funder for the Center for American Progress, but he is a… wait for it… ethanol speculator. That means he invests in ethanol production.

The media is already working to pooh-pooh the connection Fox News has made between Soros and the CAP, but the article I linked to is from Bloomberg in 2008. Yes, Fox is actually correct in their assumption:

Thanks in part to funding from benefactors such as billionaire George Soros, the Center for American Progress has become in just five years an intellectual wellspring for Democratic policy proposals, including many that are shaping the agenda of the new Obama administration.

Evo Morales in Bolivia loves to talk about his socialist/communist takeover of the petroleum industry. He makes Greenpeace look conservative. While some of his ideas hold water, the ones that attack capitalism remind us why Bolivia ranks 113th on the Human Development Index. Bolivia leads us to Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. Remember him? He sells oil and hates President Bush. But with Obama, he said “Ha-ha, my friend...” Fox News went nuts on Obama, Media Matters went pinkoid on Fox.

Chavez is not happy with a futbol rocking country called Brazil. They sell Soro’s favorite substance, ethanol. Soros invested in Brazil’s major ethanol company, Adeco Agropecuaria Brasil Ltda. But he didn’t stop there. He also invested $811M in Brazil’s premier oil company, Petrobras. Basically, Obama’s puppetmaster is invested in both ethanol and oil, against Hugo Chavez (where Soros has no hope of investing).

About that handshake. Remember that phrase, “If you want to screw me, first you have to kiss me?” Well, since the original news source has been censored, here’s what it said before the White House had it yanked.

U.S. Ready to Finance Oil Drilling in Brazil

EFE News Services 8/5/2009

The U.S. government is prepared to provide up to $10 billion in loans to finance the development of massive hydrocarbon reserves off Brazil’s coast, a Brazilian official said Wednesday.

President Barack Obama’s national security adviser, Gen. James Jones, discussed the matter with officials this week during a visit to the South American country, Brazilian Planning Minister Paulo Bernardo da Silva told reporters.

He said the U.S. Export-Import Bank already has signed a letter of intent in that regard with Brazilian state oil company Petrobras.

The loan is equal in value to a similar credit line agreed to with the China Development Bank, also for exploiting Brazil’s “pre-salt” area, so-named because the estimated 80 billion barrels of high-quality crude in that new oil frontier lie far beneath the ocean floor under layers of rock and an unstable salt formation.

Under the agreement with the Chinese state bank, finalized during Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s visit to Beijing in May, Brazil can repay the loan facility with oil as opposed to cash…

How utterly convenient. Now your tax dollars get to make the Puppetmaster even wealthier. You also get to pay him again when you fill your tank. Because nothing  makes for better business than choking off the competition. It also helps if you hold down the progress for other forms of alternate energy, and keep domestic ethanol at a tiny ebb. He currently makes T. Boone Pickens feel all fuzzy on a very good plan developed by the prominent oilman, while, like Obama did with Chavez, smiling with the knowledge that he is intentionally deceiving Pickens. In that, he is deceiving you as well.

Consider these points:

  • Obama seized the banking industry by extension with the bailout
  • Obama has the auto makers under his thumb
  • Republican John Boehner is heavily invested in BP (not a crime)
  • BP heavily invested in the Obama presidential campaign
  • Obama needs BP out of the way for the Soros business plan
  • The Federal Government told BP where they were allowed to drill, against BP’s inital judgment
  • While I would not say the spill is intentional, remember Rahm Emmanuel’s Motto, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” (note: Israelis like this guy as little as I do. Don’t make him your example of a Jew. Try the Rebbe instead.)
  • Obama has ignored the oil spill intentionally to destroy BP’s business base and credibility
  • Obama has ignored the pleas of Governor Jindal (R-LA) and two other governors
  • Obama ignored the greatest Democrat mind in the past 40 years, James Carville, when he begged for help
  • The Coast Guard has impeded Louisiana’s attempts to clean the spill
  • Oil spill recovery has been deemed a “part-time” job (we need the Sea Shepherds about right now. Don’t know what they would do, but it would be more than Obama.)
  • Obama denied help from multiple international sources
  • Obama now has the closest gas and oil producer on its heels

This is the highest form of corruption and robbery. But the trail is plain to see. Follow it. We are being set up as an economic society for failure. It’s so plain even the Russians see it.

If the ballot says Incumbent, they must go. Don’t even let them survive the primaries.

A final thought…

Many of us made mistakes in our past election. The other side of the coin wasn’t much brighter. The Tea Party Movement is growing, and it doesn’t give a damn in the least what party you were in before. All it asks is that you love our Constitution and the liberties it provides as much as those who died for it.

I write this to you early in the morning, in the dark of night, during Shabbat, when normally I wouldn’t be near a computer, because I have to look into my baby’s eyes in the morning and know that I am doing everything I can to make it right for him, my older sons, and my wife, who I would not be effective in the least without.

I am the leader in this house. Leaders eat last. Leaders wear the responsibility. The honor of their names rests on my head. The pain of being that leader is not trickle-down economics, as Harry Truman prominently displayed, “The buck stops here.” I have to be that man of honor. But I fear for us all, and Shabbat may be broken at any time there is an inclination life or health is in danger. I count liberty and freedom in that necessity. I count you in that necessity.

As Robert E. Lee once said:

I have been up to see the Congress and they do not seem to be able to do anything except to eat peanuts and chew tobacco, while my army is starving.

May G-d protect us all. If you don’t believe in G-d, then just think a hopeful thought on our behalf as a honest, diligent, faithful and free people. It will certainly mean the same thing.
