Friday, January 9, 2009 Pipeline Politics As a regular listener (and subscriber) to Coast to Coast Am, you can imagine my surprise that The Tues Jan 6th episode was not only based in reality but was also seemingly logical and relevant to current events. Really an interesting interview with Jim Norman about how the US manipulates crude oil prices to wage economic war against both Russia and China. Makes a convincing argument that this price manipulation was the major cause for the fall of the USSR and is still being practiced. I am no expert and am not sure how accurate he is but I am posting the show below. I encourage people to listen to it. I think it is a pretty interesting listen and encouraged me to order his book The Oil Card. Hour 1 Hour 2 Hour 3 Hour 4
