No Progress in Oil

37 Years and Still No Advance

Just a couple of nights ago, I was reminded of a speech that President Nixon made that included some real concerns on America’s dependence of foreign oil. Nixon and each subsequent president worked on several initiatives to solve the dilemma of the high cost of oil including coming off the gold standard. There was inflation and the dollar was in trouble. Any of this sound familiar?
History repeats itself often and since 1973, history is repeated often as it relates to OPEC, the value of the dollar, but most of the America can’t seem to invoke the solution when it comes to relying on oil from the Middle East.
America was once the frontier full of innovation, advanced science, entrepreneurial spirit and most of all cutting edge solutions. This remains true if the Federal Government stays out of the way. Federal government intervention has stifled the solution of our dependence on oil regardless of where it comes from. Many other countries are now leading the pack in alternate energy sources and usage.
Solar is old news just as is geo-thermal as solutions to wean us from any kind of oil consumption. Wind use goes back even further. The alternative methods of energy production and usage are really a comedy and an embarrassment 37 years or more later.
The biggest tragedy in this issue remains that our dollar that pays for every barrel of oil leaves this country, leaves jobs for offshore but makes other countries wealthier not only in their respective economies but in their ability to advance in power and presence. America is moving towards the caboose end in economic competition, presence and industry. Who is to blame? Congress is the culprit but American voters allow Congress to remain derelict in their duty.
Congress cannot be trusted either by revealed legislations or those that are hidden and bundled in other laws. Royalties paid by oil companies in the United States are the largest revenue streams to the Federal government outside of taxes. Congress is killing the industry, can you explain that?

Obama/Napolitano Send SWAT to Oil Spill

Posted on by

A fire erupts and later an explosion occurs on the DeepWater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. The fire continues down the pipe to the sea floor and soon we witness the complete loss and sinking of a floating oil rig platform.  President Obama and Janet Napolitano some days later call for a SWAT team to be dispatched to the rig as this event is a cause for national security.

What conditions would cause the White House and the Department of Homeland Security to call for SWAT?  It seems that Quods (Iran’s Revolutionary Guard) are and were training in Venezuela of which Chavez completely denies yet the Pentagon and Robert Gates confirm.

We clearly know the position of hate and envy that Chavez has for the United States, so could it be that those in our national security have a reason to be concerned that Chavez could have some hand in the BP rig explosion? 

Ok, could there be other explanations for SWAT?  Well yes, there are many more reasons, never forget there could just be a cover-up, you know that ‘watch the other hand thing’.  Who inspects these wells? When was the last inspection? What was the result of that inspection? How is it that BP has the highest number of safety violations as compared to all other oil company rigs operating in the Gulf?  Is this a question for MMS, which has now changed it’s name or is it a question for SAIC, the EPA or the DOE? Hey it could even be a question for the DOJ.  If BP has more than 700 violations, why no criminal prosecution or shut down of the rig until all violations and inspections approve future drilling?

Are inspectors being threatened? Are there pirates in the Gulf? Was there a foreign submarine spotted on radar? Did North Korea torpedo the rig? Was BlackWater (Xe) hired or was it Obama’s new paramilitary group Triple Canopy that compromised the rig? 

You can detect a scam website by identifying the location and the number owner. If the canadiantoprx.com information given on the website matches the real information of the company, it’s not fake.

How are we going to know what happened to cause the oil platform to burn and sink and thus cause the greatest environmental disaster in American history?  We must keep asking the questions but of whom do we ask?

Mobilizing a SWAT can only mean that the Federal Government thinks this spill may be more than an accident or human error. The findings of the SWAT?   “““crickets“““`

There are numerous offshore oil rig security companies that provide complete and comprehensive security on these rigs.   http://bit.ly/arw1Ww 

Again, why would SWAT be needed?
