Bush-Cheney, The Saudis, Exxon, Chevron, Conoco, BP, Shell, other Texas companies, Kuwait, Iraqi oil ministry, Nigeria, recent Libyan oil deal, Bahrain, UAE, North Seas, Canada, Mexico, Carlyle/James Baker etc. - this constitutes the Bushie Oil Monopoly.
Those parties are all colluding these days and have more than enough clout to jack up the world oil prices. A side effect is they also make Iran much richer.
The clear and simple evidence that they have done so is if you look at a graph of price spikes since 2000. You will clearly see that the spikes (gouging) began the day after Bush-Cheney (an all big oil ticket) were first nominated, stopped for awhile when Democrats had the senate subpoena powers, then resumed again, going up and up until it stopped again when the big oil CEO's were dragged into congress, then resumed again once Hastert did nothing. And it continues going up and up.
Now, to be fair, some of this is due to increased useage, but fundamentally, it costs no more to create a gallon of gas today than it did in 2000. So the doubling of prices has another root cause. The #1 cause is greed and gouging, and if you deny this you are basically a criminal accomplice in the biggest ripoff in world history. |
