Listen up, youngster. This has ALWAYS gone on. Kneejerk thinking would tell you that we should blame those who grab. I prefer to blame the American people who allow it to go on. And the fact this has gone on for my entire life should tell you how devoted we are to democracy in this country. We're too fat and lazy and loaded to be democratic anymore. As long as we have our own little personal slice of the pie, we don't care who runs the country. And we wonder why the evening news is so terrible... x
Did your representatives vote yes on the farm bill which sends subsidies to the undeserving? Its a lot more than just bush.
Obviously that economist was wrong. The real risk to the economy is the deflating housing market, not oil prices. Anyway I find it hilarious that people can believe the president decides what the oil price is.
Typical zombie rhetoric from the forum's leading establishment propagandist. The deflating house market is only simply a symptom of the problem. Do you know anything about the economy at all? The fact that you won't talk about inflation or artificially low interest rates and its impact on the value of the dollar, proves you are either a shill or just not very bright. I do agree that the president generally has little to do with oil prices, or even the economy for that matter. The knee-jerk reaction from the left is to focus all their attention on Bush (who is merely a puppet), but yet I never hear them addressing the Federal Reserve and its private controllers. So for all you left wing and right wing zombies out there, it has nothing to do with oil or the housing market. It has to do with the dollar being so devalued, which it is deliberately so. Wake up!
Don't you get it, BUSH IS A PUPPET! He has very little power except figuratively. The establishment controls him. He doesn't control the establishment which he simply works for and takes orders from. To think Bush controls the price of oil isn't only naive, it shows a poor understanding of how the system works.
Mr. Ahmadinejad, Mr. Putin and Mr. Chavez are also doing very well by the high price of oil thank you. These gentlemen have even more at stake than Mr. Bush in high oil prices. They also control plenty of supply. I wouldn't call them bush's buddies tho!
Again, Bush has little power, and certainly little power to affect oil prices. You, like many people, give the guy far too much credit. He is simply propped up by the globalists to be their frontman, that's all. If you want to understand the real power structure, you need to look to the multinational corporations, the unelected bureaucrats and their NGO's, and the big banks that make up the Federal Reserve. Bush is simply the frontman for these groups and does exactly as he's told. You don't become president unless you are willing to serve your masters. So yes, Bush is very much a puppet, and to think he controls everything is playing right into the hands of the real controllers who will always remain in power, regardless of who is in office. Nothing will change under Hillary or Obama if they are chosen to be the next in office. They all represent the same establishment.
See, it's hard explaining something to someone who has been so conditioned by the media. Like I said, Bush is told what to do by those in his cabinet, who are told by people even higher than that and so on. It's a compartmentalized structure, and Bush is merely the stooge that's propped up for the cameras, so you THINK he's the one in control. The real power brokers never put themselves on display. They always have their frontmen for the public to direct their anger, while the real perpetrators go unnoticed because everyone thinks it's the way it appears on their television screens. That's the genius in how these people operate. It's funny that some of you people will talk about how stupid Bush is -- which he is -- then act like he's controlling everything. I doubt the man can even control his own life. What makes you believe he's running the world? And how can you say Bush's neoconservative advisers advised him against going into Iraq? That is completely false. It is the neoconservatives who wrote "Bush's" foreign policy. The fact that oil didn't double under Clinton had nothing to do with Clinton, just as the rise under Bush has nothing to do with Bush. If you can explain to me how someone like Bush can affect the price of oil, then please do. The fact is, it's the oil companies who are behind the rise in oil prices. The people could easily put an end to this if enough people decided to stop driving for a week. Then you would see the prices go down real fast. However, this will never happen because most people simply don't care, which is unfortunate. You also need to keep in mind that as the FED prints more and more money out of thin air to keep the economy afloat, the value of the dollar becomes less and less, which also plays a role in the oil prices. But really it's an organized ploy by the multinationals, who are in bed with the government (this is called fascism), to rape and pillage the average person and wipe out the American middle class. Go to any European country and you'll find they are paying far more than we are for gas. So it has nothing to do with stooges like Bush. It goes much higher than that.
And who's "they"? Have you even heard of the Council on Foreign Relations? Most of Bush's cabinet are members of the CFR. It is elite, unelected NGO's like this that set policy, and the president merely serves to carry it out. Bush doesn't make any of his own decisions. Most people know this.
This discussion reminds me of the comedian that was talking about the difference between being rich and being wealthy. He said that Shaq is rich but the one who signs his checks is wealthy, Oprah is rich but Bill Gates is wealthy, he said if Bill Gates woke up tomorrow with just Oprah’s money he’d throw himself out the window. It’s the same here, there is no doubt that Monkey boy has power but just the same you have to ask how in the world could this idiot be elected? Could it be, that there are power brokers that control these things, that they are the Power behind power of the Monkey boys of this world?
