-Caveat Lector- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"> </A> -Cui Bono?- If anyone doubts the power of the ruling World Cabal, they should consider that it was openly displayed for all the world to see during the Impeachment and Trial of William Jefferson Clinton. Vast world markets were boldly manipulated in order to effect a robust and prosperous U.S. national economy. The strategy worked. With the economy surging to record levels, most Americans were reluctant to have Clinton put out of the White House. Most folks just didn't want to take a chance on the good times coming to an end. So, what am I getting at? Back in February of 1999, I called in to a radio Talk Show on KTSA in San Antonio. They were talking about low gasoline prices. The program host said something like: "Right now we have really the lowest gas prices ever when you figure in dollar value. Gas was 23 cents a gallon in 1952, but a dollar is now worth only about 18 cents compared to then. So gas is actually cheaper now than it was then." Yes....he was right. Anyway, I called in and talked with him on the air. I pointed out that we not only had the lowest gas prices, but that we also had the lowest interest rates in about the last 40 years.....and that both of these things just happened to come at the same time that the U.S. Senate was conducting Clinton's impeachment trial. I predicted that once the impeachment thing was over, we could expect higher gas prices and higher interest rates. So...I've been doing some checking on the Dept. of Energy's website. (eia.doe.gov) The House of Representatives started debating whether to impeach Slick Willie on Oct. 8, 1998. At that time the national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded was $1.02 The Senate voted on the impeachment articles on Feb. 12, 1999. At that time, the national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded was down to 90.7 cents! A price drop of about 12 cents a gallon. (Actually the lowest price of 90.7 cents was reported on Feb. 22). According to the national news earlier this week, we just set a new record high for the average price of a gallon of gas in the U.S. In my own experience, in Feb. of 99 I was buying gas for 78.9 cents! Today I paid $1.35 That's an increase of 56 cents a gallon in 1 year! So the oil companies are getting back all the money they gave up last year to keep Clinton in office. They really didn't lose that 12 cents on all those billions of gallons, they just postponed their profits for a while. Here are the actual figures on gas prices: Notice the 13 cent price decline leading up to the impeachment between 6/8/98 and 12/14/98. Then the price continued on down another 4 cents to Feb. 22nd 1999. The Senate acquitted Clinton on Feb 12th...the downward momentum carried it a little lower for 2 weeks and then the price started back up as shown on 3/1/99 and thereafter. The latest figures available are 2/28/2000 and the national average is now $1.42 per gallon! Of course this must be purely coincidental, everyone knows there are no such things as conspiracies.
