Hah hah. Wouldn't it be rather sick if the whole 'oil running low' thing IS a myth, just to make it unaffordable to people who NEED to drive?? I mean, people are saying they cannot afford gas to get to work.

These prices speak for themselves. Drivers are being gouged. I think that someone is simply knowing something bad is gunna happen, and trying to funnel as much money to themselves before it does. This whole economy mess, could actually be the BYPRODUCT of fuel lies?

Not sure how it ties into the "housing crisis", but damnit. I don't doubt that is made up as well. This is probably all planned for us.

Poet you have to watch the whole thing to understand. Jack is explaining it to you but to fully understand you need to watch the whole thing. It will open up your mind to another reason why we are getting raped at the pump. Like Locomans signature how do you apply the political KY conservatively or liberally

I don't doubt that the oil companies are gouging every last penny they can get from oil, raising prices as much as possible, but that still doesn't change the fact that our planet is running out of the easy to get high grade crude, and this means that we need to re-structure. This re-structure isn't going to be good for the very wealthy.

Any way you look at it, the answer is still the same, start looking for alternative energy sources and efficient transportation. Me, I have a fuel efficient car, take public transportation regularly, and ride my motorcycle or bicycle when I can.

Personally, I'm a giver and not a taker. Just a dab will do ya.

If the dollar is becoming fatally devalued and the global economy is spiralling into oblivion, then the rich will NOT be getting richer: their "dollars" will be just as worthless as the disinfranchised poor. This point can not have escaped the attention of the super rich.

I believe the manipulation of the markets, deflation of economy and general political policy changes have been orchestrated; not to increase the wealth of the already wealthy (although that is a perk for the short-term). There MUST be a different goal and I believe that goal is consolidation of power.

When (not if) the global economy completely collapses, the powers that be will introduce a system in which "no man may buy or sell save he have the mark of the beast" (whatever that mark may be). Even if you don't believe in prophecy or the bible in general, you can probably see for yourself that we are heading for a major meltdown that will require some unique overhaul to correct/control.

If you are one of those blowhards that says you'll "shoot the bastards that try to take your stuff", let me present this idea: Will you even be home when the bastards come to steal your stuff? Will you be at work trying to earn enough money to get stuff and pay for the house it all sits in? Will you have your gun with you or will that be stolen out of your house too? Will you take on, single-handedly, the 15 armed guys in flak jackets kicking in your door because you're one of those food-hoarding, gun-owning, defiant non-conformists?

Our economy is based on a flawed system. In order to be profitable/solvent, costs must be kept lower than the price you pay to make your widgits. SOMEONE has to make less money than you do. We used to have slavery; now we have hoardes of illegal immigrants. Next, we'll have slavery again, only this time it will be on a massive scale and not sugar-coated as in "wage slave". Actual slavery in which your life is valuable only as long as it serves the needs of someone else. Look up the definition of the word "authority" and see if it sounds like anything you want to submit to. Power/control/authority is the goal, not more money.
