Celente has always aggravated me, he's just one of Art Bell's doomers, and that's why he kept getting repeated airtime.
I'm conflicted about all the wars we get into. Our politicians lie about the reasons for going to war, and they lie about the way the wars are conducted. And that is distasteful to us. But we require oil, and that is what they're getting for us. So unless we're all going to go live out in the woods and give up electricity and food that comes in packets, we should think a little bit about the consequences of our goverments becoming passive as we would like them to.
You may be correct that they are getting oil, but, if it's for us.......................why then are we paying $4.00 a gallon??
Why are we paying $1.80 more per gallon than BEFORE we invaded Iraq?

It seems out of place and I wonder if this is a hidden message in the visual symbols? The flowers look like a pre-technicolor time warp. The flowers do not look real or alive. What is the subliminal message being sent here?

The only way that we will ever be free or have any chance of rebuilding a society that is not controlled by the elites is for a disaster on a large scale to happen. That is my belief anyway.

Oil has never been stolen from invaded countries to the best of my knowledge.
We invade, we install a sympathetic leader, then our oil companies go over and start buying up contracts which the previous leader refused to sell.

The more oil we have in reserve, the longer we can be gouged at the pumps. The oil prices are artificially induced and have little to do with availability of crude. If you shut down oil refineries it doesn't matter how much crude you got, gas is still going to be expensive.

The idea is to *control* oil, not make it more immediately available.
Often oil controlled at gunpoint is taken OFF the market and kept until the right timing, being used as an excuse and a way for artificial price support.
Need an excuse to jack up prices? A conventient 'bombing' of an oil pipeline by 'terrorists' is a mainstay
