BLACK-GOLD BLUES
Clinton approves
oil-price hikes
Official: Administration backs increases
to help Russia, Indonesia, Mexico, Iran

Oil ministers from OPEC nations have quietly told
national security advisors on Capitol Hill that the oil
production cutbacks -- and resulting price increases --
are being implemented at the request of the Clinton
administration on behalf of Russia, Indonesia, Mexico
and Iran.
Russia, Mexico and Indonesia are reported to be
directing their increased oil profits toward paying back
overdue Western loans. According to one government
defense advisor, the windfall profits are part of a larger
scheme to use the American public to pay off failed and
corrupt investment schemes in the three countries.
"The American public is paying off bad loans to bad
countries made by bad bankers," stated the national
security advisor.
According to Vice President Al Gore, the recent hike in
gas prices is due not to a shortage of oil, but rather to
the Clinton administration's deliberate move to
encourage an oil price increase.
"I think the reason is because we more or less asked the
organization of petroleum producing countries to raise
oil prices in helping Russia develop its economy," stated
Gore on March 1 in response to a question about rising
gas prices.
The largest Middle Eastern oil producers reportedly
agreed on the cutback of oil production in order to
increase income for weapons purchases. Several oil
states have announced major weapons buys from the
West, including a recent multi-billion-dollar purchase of
Lockheed/Martin F-16 fighter jets.
"Iran is also trading oil to China in exchange for missile
technology," stated the national security advisor.
The gas hike has raised several concerns about the
Clinton energy policy and U.S. national security.
In recent years, OPEC has flooded the market with oil,
lowering prices worldwide. The lower prices, according
to Denise Bode, a commissioner on the Oklahoma
Corporation Commission, were designed to discourage
investors in U.S. domestic oil production, maintaining a
world monopoly for OPEC.
"The OPEC cartel clearly understands that the Clinton
energy policy is based on instant gratification," stated
Bode, "seeking low gasoline prices and ignoring future
consequences with a foreign cartel in charge of our
national energy resources.
"In 1997, OPEC acted to consolidate the American
market by sending much cheaper oil, dumping it at
historically low prices. The most significant energy
policy initiated by the Clinton administration is a 4.3 cent
increase in the gasoline tax," said Bode.
"Another 30,000 Americans have lost their jobs.
Domestic oil production has moved from holding steady
to a 5.4 percent decline. Even though OPEC has
recently cut back production and raised the price of oil
to $30 a barrel, there has been no increase in domestic
production."
"It's very clear what OPEC should do if they want to
retain control," stated Donald Hodel, former secretary
of energy and secretary of interior during the Reagan
administration.
"Periodically, they should announce they are going to
produce excess volumes of crude oil. The
announcement itself will scare away some capital
investment from new production. Secondarily, if that
doesn't work, and from time to time to prove their point,
they would have to overproduce, drive the price down
dramatically, so that marginal wells in the United States
will be shut down and new investment will be shut down
worldwide."
According to Hodel, the "green" movement has
combined with OPEC to "erect straw arguments"
against the U.S. energy industry.
"I've never met anyone who said I want to breathe dirty
air or drink polluted water," noted Hodel. "Yet, the
green movement has succeeded in using clean air, clean
water and garbage control as a means to seek
de-industrialization in the U.S."
"The problem is that the schools have been captured by
the flaming environmentalists," noted Hodel. "We are
not doing a decent job of getting the educational
establishment to acknowledge the facts about the
importance of energy production to our economy.
"If we were rational about our energy policy, we would
have a growing component in our society of nuclear
power. The people who fought nuclear power have
successfully stopped coal. They are now turning toward
natural gas and oil. We made the point over and over
that offshore drilling is less of an environmental hazard
than transporting imported oil by tanker."
Hodel concluded, "Our dependency on foreign oil
affects our national security and our environment."
