An age-old scheme, as Éttiene de la Boétie revealed back in 1552: "Tyrants would distribute largess, a bushel of wheat, a gallon of wine, and a sesterce (Roman coin): and then everybody would shamelessly cry, 'Long live the King!' The fools did not realize that they were merely recovering a portion of their own property, and that their ruler could not have given them what they were receiving without having first taken it from them." The Politics of Obedience: Discourse of Voluntary Servitude http://www.mind-trek.com/treatise/edlb-vs.htm This is a huge wealth transfer scheme moving money from your pocket thru the oil industry to Wall Street. When *isn't* it about a "huge wealth transfer scheme moving money from your pocket thru (x) to Wall Street" (and the banksters)? Since the Civil War the entire purpose of these rackets and conspiracies has been to keep one class of men in subordination and servitude to another; holding the many in subjection, and extorting from them their labor, and the profits of their labor. Politicos, mass media, public opinion and education, etc., are mere tools used to keep the machine grunching along smoothly; for the more successful accomplishment of these crimes, and the more peaceable division of the spoils.

Release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, as suggested by Vice President Gore today, will help stabilize roller-coaster prices that hurt families and threaten our economy. This is all wrong and this woman is an idiot. The release of some of the strategic reserves is a political stunt. It has little or no effect on the price of oil. Opec and the world's Big oil hustlers got the wink from our esteemed Administration to raise prices so that countries with petroleum based economies could pay off Western Banks' loans. I suspect they want their money before Euro and the Global economy tanks. This is a huge wealth transfer scheme moving money from your pocket thru the oil industry to Wall Street. This move by Gore is to appear compassionate. With YOUR OWN MONEY. He's not removing taxes from the price of oil because that comes out of Gov pockets. He's not putting a ceiling on oil and gas profits because he's a Big Oil corporate whore. So this way, you dear taxpayer get to pay for your own negligible relief. And he gets a big public fuzzy. However, it is disgraceful that almost 30 years after the oil crisis of the early 1970s consumers are still suffering from our addiction to oil. Oil interests have used their enormous political power to stop public policies that advance the use of energy efficient appliances in our homes and increase the average fuel economy of our cars. Gore must live up to his word and show leadership by increasing fuel efficiency, putting resources into expanding alternative energy sources and ending corporate oil subsidies. WHO is going to do this??? Mr. Oxy? It is reprehensible that this industry, with sky-rocketing profits, is allowed to continue gouging consumers. Lehman Brothers reported recently that profits from the four largest oil companies are expected to more than double to a combined $50 billion this year alone! Just in May, Public Citizen found that Texaco increased its net income by an astounding 473%, in the first quarter of 2000. With such incredible profits, these companies can afford to live without corporate welfare and lower the gas prices. Gores proposal will help in the short-term, but he will have to stand up to corporate interests in the long term, if he is elected president. This woman has as much political savvy as my fish.
