Economic Recovery & Energy Reform
| It is interesting that, in the 1960’s, enough oil was discovered in Alaska to keep America independant of foreign oil for centuries. However, the government decided to classify it. Why? Because they had already tied American currency to Middle Eastern oil. If our government had allowed the Alaska reserves to be used; then the lessened demand for foreign oil would have destroyed our currency. This is the explanation for our convenient good relations w/ Saudi Arabia and their corrupt government. However, there were 2 nations that backed out of this agreement; and refused to base their oil production on our currency-Iraq and Iran. We have had stormy relationships with them ever since. It is no wonder that the Corporate Republicans wanted to invade Iraq, and perhaps eventually Iran. In the last few years, w/ the increasing deficit between us and China, other Middle Eastern countries have been pulling out of our economy. Syria has begun withdrawing all of their securities from our banks, which numbers in the billions of dollars in assets. The growing concern over the American economy is the catalyst for Middle Eastern countries expressing interest in overseeing our ports. This is a crisis of astronomical proportions; and I agree w/ Obama that energy reform is going to be an extremely integral part of our recovery in lessening our dependance on foreign oil. I also support drilling in the ANWR preserve in the interest of de-classifying a 40-year-old government lie. Arch. |
