Exclamation Will the real REASON please stand up??

Ok, gas was around $2.50 or less, depending on where you lived.

Then Katrina hit and the prices skyrocketed because of the refineries being underwater or so we were told. Shortage of refined fuel.

Then we were told that gas shortage was being caused by the war and it's Bush's fault because we are at war.

NOW we are being told that gas is high because China is using too much causing the shortage!

Then they slipped in the little side note that it's spectulation in the market that is making the fuel prices higher.

SO WHICH IS IT??

Me personally, I'm betting on GREED in different areas that got together and used the Katrina hurricane/war as excuses to get richer....

These are all attempts in my conspiracy theory opinion by our gubmint to subjugate the People and continue control measures for the intended implementation of the New World Order.

Then Katrina hit and the prices skyrocketed because of the refineries being underwater or so we were told. Shortage of refined fuel.
As if the ONLY REFINERY/REFINERIES is/are located along the Gulf Coast.

Then we were told that gas shortage was being caused by the war and it's Bush's fault because we are at war.
WE were never "at war" nor are WE now as WE performed a successful INVASION which since its implementation has become an OCCUPATION.
Yes, bosh and his cronies are responsible yet they are obviously immune from prosecution for their roles.


NOW we are being told that gas is high because China is using too much causing the shortage! China is using an equivalent amount in comparison.

Then they slipped in the little side note that it's speculation in the market that is making the fuel prices higher. More of the paranoia (my opinion) being spread about for the New World Order implementation. The next president will be the catalyst or capitalist.

SO WHICH IS IT??
ALL OF THEM!!

Me personally, I'm betting on GREED in different areas that got together and used the Katrina hurricane/war as excuses to get richer....
I wonder what the odds are in Las Vegas or Atlantic City since in these locales one can bet on anything.

Default ......my 2 cents

I believe it started because of the war. However, there were hidden agendas that caused the war. (Like trying to get our foothold in the Middle East and shanghai the oil.)
Everything happening to us on a local level is because of the war.

Two documentaries linked below:
It's political in nature yet easy to digest and understand. I feel they are pretty damn interesting.


THE OIL FACTOR: BEHIND THE WAR ON TERROR 1hr 30 minutes


THE BUSH FAMILY FORTUNES : THE BEST DEMOCRACY MONEY CAN BUY 56 minutes. Truly shocking.

When Bush took office gas was $1.29. He's an oil man. It's not all that hard to figure out, no matter what BS they're feeding us today. Oil companies don't have to worry about a thing with W in office, he'll just pardon any convictions. Republican party used to be "good for business". How ANY O/O could vote for another one is beyond me, they've been hurt the worst by the "good for business" party. I used to be republican, but they've lost their way. I'd love to see W's foreign bank accounts, you know he's got 'em...

I'm not for either Reps or Dems. The first want to take the middle man and flow the money UP. The second want to take the middle man and flow his money down to illegals, people that don't want to work, etc. The ones that NEED the money and worked for YEARS for it CAN'T get it. Not from the Reps or the Dems.
