BP BP: No, not Wylie Coyote; But British Petroleum, the behemoth that owns and operated the Alaskan Pipe-line. This week (Aug. 7, 2006) we have the latest salvo on the assault on the dwindling economy of the U.S.
BP, or as quiet as it's been kept (even since acquiring Amoco in 2003) British Petroleum. No wonder I find it odd that on saturday and sunday nights all I see is "Brit Comedies" of PBS. Where's Paul Revere when you need him? The British have come! And they have the pipe to show it.
Now they can finally stick it to us. No oil for you, said the oil Nazi.
Well, a British subject, and prominent Catholic in Protestant England, by the name of Sir Peter Sutherland has the priviledge of being at the helm of H.M.S.BP, as its Chairman, he's also the Chairman of Goldman Sachs (Stock trading company), and founding Director of the WTO: World Trade Organization. Does the scent of rodent hit you rather abruptly? Let's see, the Pipeline in Alaska belongs to whom? It's being run by BP. Rather, reminiscent of the recent failed Port Deal; In which some outfit out of Dubai would control, lock- stock and barrell a considerable number of U.S. Ports with the Prez's blessing. We need not enquire about who is running the Panama Canal (China) since our pull-out last century.
So the pipes haven't been "pigged-out" in a long time, and corrosion has set in. So, logically we have to shut down the operation of a Pipeline of over 500 miles for 8 months, or so. If you believe that one, you'll believe the Wizard of Oz is really running things behind the scenes. Well, I think he is ,and I think his role model is Machiavelli. And I think his favorite Statesman (Mason) was Albert Pike who supposedly along with other illumunist of his day planned WWI, WWII, and WWIII (aka West vs. Islam). Call me paranoid, but I know when I'm being lied to. You gotta get up pretty early in the morning to fool me, I'm up by 4:30 AM. Hoodwinked, bamboozled, flim-flamed, or Shanghaied. Pick one of these verbs for yourself, and I'll tell you that's what's being done to John Q and Jane Q. Public. If you think $3 per Gallon is too much wait until these maniacs pull the latest rabbit out of there hats. As Rocky would say: "Again!"
China is buying up our country at an alarming speed, as well as other interests.
All the while, we just keep on sleeping.
I liked your post.
I was thrilled to find your well-written commentary upon my return.
Hoping to see more in the future.
