We have our own Oil and Petroleum reserves right here on our own turf!  All we have to do is take our our equipment to the ascertained locations Nome, Alaska  right amid the wilderness and the artic tundra.  Most assuredly the wildlife there would welcome the much needed thaw of that habitation so that the food supply can become more plentiful for them to survive on throughout the winter months and even hibernation. Even  closer, than that, what about the Petroleum veins lying beneath the North Atlantic Ocean?  Why haven't  we began drilling there  first and foremost?  Why are we the American people and even more astringent the American Government allowing OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) to maipulate and dictate the supply and even monopolizing upon the opportunity of  playing the foul  "Pricing Game "all at the expense of the American consumers who are already experiencing severe economic hardships centermid the "home" turf.?

The truth beyond the lies?  Or their Story in contrast to the story?   Well, on June 17, 2008 the OPEC Meeting of the Executives was held in Iran.  President Ahmadnejad  stated to the attendees and the executive officers the following statements"There is neither an Oil nor Petroleum shortage.  There never was any shortage and by all means no apparent crisis at all.  "The only thing that is in deficit is the monetary value of the American dollar which is only valued  best at 33 cents."  This is how their government  manipulates them into believing that there is a "Crisis" and that their gasoline is in limited supply. This will gave way for them to "Justify their own "Greed to fill their pockets because the need" for gasoline is so great. .  Therefore,such a rare and "sought" after commodity had to increase in price  so that the urgent "Request"  for such a limited "SUPPLY" of "OIL" will  provide us with enough evident rationale to "DEMAND" that the far  "BIGGER BUCK" be  paid at "GASOLINE PUMP" with no questions asked.. Truth or Part True1?  Well let's escape the fact from the fiction..We know that the American dollar can't buy much of anything and isn't worth much at all anymore.  I think  that after having endured  the Bush Era for the last 8 long and turbulent years, , we  have grown accustomed to making those 33 cents stretch like "Armstrong."  We're over that!  However, what we're yet struggling to get over is the fact that we  should not have to be dependent upon foreign oil !  Especially from nations who really don't like us in the first place because such a dependency will unjustifiably so give them the  opportunity to "Pull" strings and to re-set gadgeting gizmos which in return can initiate an overall negative impact upon our quality of life merely by one "Bump at the Pump!" .Why don't we say 'The Heck With OPEC!" and Let's Get the Thrill With the Drill and make our own "Emprircal Realm" of Black Gold Incorporated right here on our home turf..Realize Americans, Venezuelan President Chavez of which BP (Better Petroleum)  eminates is an indepth follower of Fiedel Castro and a close friend with  Iran's  President Ahmadnejad  who he praises him constantly for being resistent to North America's influence certainly is not our south of the border ally either. Maybe we'd better keep a more watchful eye on  Chavez because such flaky agendas can easily be re-arranged and work against us and even provide ample gateways for our known enemies to attack us the more.  Don't look to China either!  INDEED THEY HAVE BEEN IMPRESSIVE WITH THEIR ACTIONS  (Tainted Medications, Pet Food, Chicken, Toys and Beef) all of which happened to have  landed up here in America via our commercial establishments displays a different type of war-faring arnesal  by  attacking us through both production and consumption  another Silent Weapon Indeed!  No America needs to stand on it's own two feet and drive the drill in Alaska and in the North Atlantic.  This will not only provide us with an overwhelming supply of fuel  and gasoline, it will also create numerous employment opportunities which is so well needed during these times of such evidence of economic uncertainty.  Also, just as we're investing magnate bucks in researching  the overall and aftermath effects of "global" warming,(After all we've been there and done that far too many times over....Next)  why don't we invest some of those millions into bio-alternatives which will help clean the environment while yet fueling our vehicles (ex. Amaizing Fuel Made from Corn Husks,) warm our homes (Salt Water Steam Heat) and even conserve our energy while providing electricity (Energe-Solar Wind Mill).  There are innumerate  ways and measurable means, that we can become Energy Independent and Energy Sufficient  so let's get started ...America Put Your Money Where It Counts in the pockets of we the consumers of the greatest country on the planet as opposed to doting out the bucks to the "Raucherian Socialites" who play games that cost us Perhaps even a  law suit against OPEC's  tailored to the specific "CUT THROAT' custom design may be another possibilty IN WHICH OUR DOLLARS COULD READILY MAKE SOME DEGREE OF SENSE! Come on Congress get in on the act and get the engine moving forward not unless you've chosen to sell us out and sell us cheaply even more severely unto the harsh "Task Master" of economic cruelty. WE The People Demand It!  However, if you choose to do nothing perhaps your pockets are receiving an additional "Green" lining all at the expense of the defamed, deprived and the defenseless!
