  • $4 a gallon

    Everyone knows what the price of gas was before Bush became president and everyone knows what the price is today (except Bush). Why the difference? BUSH!

  • Plentiful supply

    The popular view promoted by our propaganda press is that “Worldwide energy demand is outstripping supply.” This is a successful fable.

    Anglo-American policy for a near-century has been to strangle Iraqi oil supply to benefit any malleable Arabs who play ball with Big Oil and its protection racket run by right-wing U.S. politicians.

    To wit, the Iraqi invasion was highly successful in virtually cutting off Iraq’s access to add to world supply.
