Oil Barons Gouging the American People Again
From the Trenches World Report
By Henry Shively The national average price for a gallon of gasoline has risen to $3.67 per gallon from $3.38 per gallon just one month ago, and like every time the oil barons decide to gouge us there are 101 excuses as to why.  When the gouging first began in the 1970s, we were told that we were being robbed as a result of supply and demand. OPEC was created in 1960. Its express purpose is to control the amount of oil available on the world market. Then by the 70s, the big push in the United States was for us to become a part of the world economy and the world market. When we talk about supply and demand, the term supply must be considered a misnomer as the word does not relate to the amount available, but rather the amount artificially allowed to be available. This has been a scam since day one. None the less, now that we in the US have dropped our demand, essentially because we can no longer afford to buy as much gas, the excuse being given for the run up in price this time is, one, tension in the Middle East being caused by our so called government that says it is acting in our best interests, and two, a reduction in refinery capability with the shutdown in refineries, in spite of the fact that there is a glut of crude on the market. And don’t forget this latest refinery fire in California, which is being blamed for prices rising as I write this article. The fact is the gas is being refined as it is always at the service station ready to be put in my car at the jacked up price. So does it cost more to refine gas at one refinery when another shuts down? This is a scam and a fraud. And to top it all off, while claiming that it is lack of refining capability, the propagandists are pushing for more domestic production, hence more raw crude to be refined, as the answer to lowering prices that have gone up because of a lack of refining capability. Do they really think we are this damn stupid? What this comes down to is international control of our natural resources and monopolies. Just like De Beers holds warehouses full of diamonds, intentionally kept off the market in order to keep the price of diamonds up. You see, if we had unfettered access to the oil in the Middle East, free of the monopoly of OPEC, hence free unfettered competition, oil prices would plunge. Unlike De Beers and the diamonds, the oil barons do not hold the Iranian and Syrian oil. So the only way they can keep it off the market, is through these phony wars and sanctions. And, if that doesn’t work, how about burning down a refinery that will cost $100 million to replace causing a hike in gas prices that results in $3 billion in profits. Think they wouldn’t do it? We are seeing the push for the Keystone Pipeline and more domestic drilling and fracking as petroleum prices rise. And if you do not support these activities, you are labeled as a tree hugger. How about this? We totally support Keystone and more domestic drilling and fracking on one condition. All the products derived must, by law, be sold within the United States. But then you see this isn’t going to happen as the plan is to make the United States the number one exporter of raw petroleum. Our refineries will be moved to China, just like the rest of our industry and we will pay the world market price for the petroleum products derived from our raw crude. The fact is, we already do. Somebody please answer me this question. When did we the people vote to surrender our national economy to become a part of the world economy? If we were manufacturing our raw resources within our own sovereign borders to be sold to our people, well, that is what we used to have, you know, when we were prosperous. If we want to take control of this situation, we must take back control of our raw resources, which are being stolen hand over fist. This would force the return of our industry. Then arrest the bankers and retrieve our stolen wealth and we will be back to prosperity. The thing is, we have to do it because the thieves are not just going to stop stealing as there is no incentive to do so. God bless the Republic, death to the international corporate mafia, we shall prevail.

v.8
Bush and the Rockefellers have brought the world to an end. Between lasers in your forehead mindcontrol to nazi-eugenics. Now this bunch creates diversions by ripping off the people. Check out my blog and see how they had planned to kill millions but The Wrath of the Lamb is coming.http://peacepink.ning.com/profiles/blogs/animal-cloning-america-built-it-s-golden-calf
There is always the option of not using any of their oil & gasoline. No? Then just learn to live with whatever price they set.
I use my bike alot, and walk a lot.
And as a great benefit, I lost some weight !.
By the way… The gasoline in Denmark (12aug2012) is 13,5 DKK/liter.
Thats 8,90 USD per Gallon … !!!.
I have cut down and use discount loyalties to buy gas.
It is not just the oil companies, counties states and other elite take their cuts per gallon. I can go to a different town and the price will differ a dime.
Unlike the government, the oil companies at least produce a desired and useful product.
As others have said, we can all cut back on our gasoline use by keeping our vehicles in good shape, combining trips, not idling for excessive time periods, etc. People have been doing these things. Gasoline consumption in the US is 50% lower than it was 4 years ago. Of course, some of that is due to all the folks who don’t have to drive to work.
The main focus of the world is now on possible world oil shortages and disruptions. As world demand increases and the world supply of cheap oil depletes, oil becomes a more critical commodity for nations. In times of world war securing oil will be even more essential. When Russia comes down to take a spoil in the wars of Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39 one of the main reasons might be to take control of the oil fields in the Middle-East. Also, when the 200,000,000 man army mentioned in Revelation comes from the East the main reason may be to secure the Middle East oil fields (China).
The world supply of cheap oil is limited
Most of the world’s easily accessed oil is in the Middle East. There will be fewer new discoveries of major oil fields and old fields of low cost conventional oil will deplete faster than new cheap sources are found. The oil coming from the newer fields will be much more expensive to extract. Some experts have said that world oil production would peak around the year 2010 and then fall off sharply. They say only 25 percent of the amount of oil available in 2010 will be available in 2030 with the world demand for oil continuing to increase (see graph below).
I personally do not see any large fall off in production. I think Iraq, Canada, Brazil, Venezuela, the US and others have the potential to keep oil production at high levels. Also, there is much new oil being recovered in old fields through new high tech production methods.
I do not think world oil production is any where near peaking yet. There is still tremendous amount of oil in the earth but it will get more expensive to get out of the ground. There is enough shale oil to last the world for hundreds of years but oil shale will not be a big portion of oil production for at least 20 more years.
The main danger of world oil shortages is disruptions due to war. That certainly can limit world production and by looking at the stability of the Middle East those disruptions are more likely to happen than not.
Whenever there is quite a bit more demand than supply it will cause huge economic disruptions. The oil producing nations will be able to raise oil prices to levels that many nations simply will not be able to afford. The nations that control the oil will become very wealthy but they will become a very tempting target for those coveting their oil.
Oil certainly will be the key focus of the world between the years 2010 and 2035. In the more distant future the world will develop new ways to bring oil and gas shale resources to market and there will also be alternative energy sources developed so oil will not be a major threat to the world after about 2040. (There may be a gap in energy producing technology to produce adequate amounts of energy between the years 2020 and 2040.) So the critical dependence on oil and the danger will be for the next two or three decades. One of the major reasons for the wars in the Middle East that we see in Bible prophecy may be due to coveting the riches that God placed there or disruptions of oil delivery from the Middle East.
I think oil production will stay near 2010 levels or exceed it, but the key factors to the world will be disruptions by inevitable wars and the price.
