EVERYTHING began with the SECRET meetings Cheney held in the White House, (to set national energy policies) right after he & Bush stole the country in 2000. They went so far as to confiscate the White House Visitors logs, which are the property of the Secret Service & the people, (a public and outrageous act utterly without precedent) in order to keep the attendees to those meetings SECRET! They had to because the key to all of the increases in the price of oil, from the $20 a barrel that it was then, to what it is now: was all planned in those meetings: and apparently congress doesn't give a damn about this extortion or the war-profiteering!
If the sheep want to know why they are paying so much now for gas & oil, maybe they ought to get themselves some torches and start holding night-long vigils outside the White House. And since they can't get within a mile of that place, they ought to use oversize photographic flats, for purposes of their demonstration, which could then be burned each night in effigy. Since the public will not risk demonstrating on weekdays, because that would cost their employers real money - they could hold some public demonstrations at night in costume, to protect their identities. That might draw some much needed attention to this situation!
These demonstrators were to use costumes: similar to the KKK but with Abu-Ghraib hoods and their sheets could feature Oil Company logos inside large black oil stains! This would work extremely well for the cameras, as the little group gathers round an oversized version of CHENEY'S log-book (resting atop a huge stack of 'Secret-no-bid-contracts'), that would be the same White House Log that used to belong to the United States, except that this is one is sealed in CRIME SCENE TAPE! If this is not possible then perhaps this idea could be done as an off-Broadway play, or even just a creation made for U-tube. The sequel could be called "The $23 Billion that DISAPPEARED in Iraq"!
Of course this will never happen because the public is not serious about where anything came from: beginning with 911 and ending with the destruction of Habeas Corpus: Our entire Just-US department & our global prison system (30,000 held offshore), or the 'educational' attempt to obliterate critical thought in the population. Then there's the Bill to make 'thought' into a crime still pending before the treasonous US Senate. And the travesty in what we call medicine or the extortion that is the entire insurance industry. And let’s not overlook the largest shell game in history, the US investment & banking scam that is stealing the wealth of the planet and giving it to the filthy rich that are currently the owners of this world.
I wonder how many people in this country still have the ability to even formulate serious questions, when it comes to the conduct of those that "we" so-overpay to "protect ourselves" from all of the above. And remember, all of this OUTRAGE is going into its eighth year, UNINVESTIGATED and still largely unopposed. I wonder what the two shills running for Dictator have to say about any of this - because after two years of campaigning this has yet to "come
up"!
