The answer to the question is yes, Bush and Co. are evil. To send our soldiers to die for oil and kill all those innocent iraqi's was evil.

Israel also thinks they can just take what they want and I think the Israel government is evil as well.


North Korea was part of the evil of axis until Bush decided to use Clintons plan which he rejected when he took office and try to look like he had accomplished something before he left office. So I have an idea for Cuba...Start building nuclear plants and Bush will drop sanctions. It is all about what is in Bush's and Israel's self-serving interest. Bush wanted to be a legend. He will get the legency he deserves, the worst, criminal president in history.

I was thinking more about the wealthy and investors in big corporations using their free money Bush gave them in tax cuts to invest "Hiding as commercial accounts, thru a Commodity Futures Trading Commission exemption to avoid speculative position limits, these institutional-investors use commodities index-futures to hold positions in oil." . Because jobs sure weren't created with it.

I believe the high prices of oil is in a large part due to speculation and hedge funds.

Cashing in on Commodities: What’s Driving the Oil Bull, How Much Further It Will Go, and How Investors Can Profit
Editor’s Note: This is the second installment of a new Money Morning series highlighting investment opportunities created by the global bull market in commodities.

By Jason Simpkins
Associate Editor
Exactly 12 months ago, West Texas Intermediate crude oil was trading at just under $63 a barrel.

Yesterday (Thursday) futures prices for that benchmark grade of crude oil hit the latest in a succession of record highs, punching through the $135-a-barrel mark on the New York Mercantile Exchange, before sliding back.

In other words, in only a single year, crude-oil prices have more than doubled, soaring 115% - and setting 27 separate new records along the way. And while a short-term correction may be in the offing - especially with fears of a U.S. recession ebbing - the reality is that oil prices are nowhere near the end of their run, meaning the United States is really an economic system that’s at the crossroads

Sorry I don't have the link for that you will have to verify it youself. The point is that

Institutional investors are organisations which pool large sums of money and invest those sums in companies. They include banks, insurance companies, retirement or pension funds, hedge funds and mutual funds. Their role in the economy is to act as highly specialised investors on behalf of others. For instance, an ordinary person will have a pension from his employer. The employer gives that person's pension contributions to a fund. The fund will buy shares in a company, or some other financial product. Funds are useful because they will hold a broad portfolio of investments in many companies. This spreads risk, so if one company fails, it will be only a small part of the whole fund's investment. Institutional investors will have a lot of influence in the management of corporations because they will be entitled to exercise the voting rights in a company. They can engage in active role in corporate governance. Furthermore, because institutional investors have the freedom to buy and sell shares, they can play a large part in which companies stay solvent, and which go under. Influencing the conduct of listed companies, and providing them with capital are all part of the job of investment management.

Hiding as commercial accounts, thru a Commodity Futures Trading Commission exemption to avoid speculative position limits, these institutional-investors use commodities index-futures to hold positions in oil. But not as traditional buyers of oil would, but as financial speculations. This feeds the demand side, without ever, actually demanding oil. Eighty two percent (82%) of WTI futures [net increase from 01/01/03 to 03/12/08] was purchased by institutional-investors [Testimony of Michael Masters before the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, U.S. Senate, p.3, May 20, 2008

Still, there might be hope for us because as we speak they are being exposed, this is a short summary of the hearing held on June 3 2008

Look in the hedges, you will find the money there.

Obama doesn't have zero lobbyist ties but I don't think McCain wants to touch that hot topic. Obama is going up against some powerful and influential lobbying groups. That is why McSleeze told the AIPAC that Obama would endanger Israel and appeasement does not work....which I'm sure he meant intelligent, rational, thought out plans and diplomacy with our allies do not work.
It only took Bush 7 1/2 years to learn a little diplomacy, probably because he wanted to leave office believing he had accomplished something with North Korea. But he will still be a sideline cheerleader for control of the MiddleEast. No matter how much their policies have failed and damaged America, McSame is clinging to them because that is his only hope. I can't believe anyone could not see how they have damaged America and still believe in their failed policies. Not only is our economy a mess but why must our soldiers keep dying to protect Israel? It is time to say goodbye to the neo-cons.


"NO LOBBY IS FEARED MORE or catered to by politicians than the Jewish Lobby. If a politician does not play ball with the Jewish Lobby, he will not get elected, or re-elected, and he will either be smeared or ignored by the Jewish-owned major media.

All Jewish lobbies and organizations are interconnected and there are hundreds upon hundreds of them. The leaders of the numerous Jewish Lobby Groups go to the same synagogues, country clubs, and share the same Jewish investment bankers. And this inter-connectedness extends to the Jews who run the Federal Reserve Bank, US Homeland Security, and the US State Department.

In other words, “Jews stick together.” Americans must know how extremely powerful the Jewish Lobby is and how it operates to undermine America’s interests both at home and abroad. At home - by corrupting America’s political system, and abroad - by dictating American Foreign Policy against America’s best interests.

Here is a list of the major Jewish Lobby Groups & how they work:

American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC): AIPAC has a staff of over 150 employees and an annual budget of over $60 million Here derived from private contributions from wealthy Jews and Jewish-owned businesses. In other words, “money corrupts & Jewish money corrupts the American political system absolutely.”

~ AIPAC has many “PACS” attached to their Lobby. PACS are “Public Action Committees,” sanctioned by Federal Law, that give huge donations to political candidates. PACS are the means by which AIPAC and all Jewish lobbies utilize the immense wealth of Jewry to bribe US politicians. AIPAC is currently lobbying for the US to attack Iran Here & Here. AIPAC’s Executive Director is the powerful Anti-Christian Jew, Howard Kohr."

AIPAC do not endorse a canidate but to put it mildly the AIPAC have definitely tilted to the right in recent years.

The facts of Jewish Media control....

http://www.libreopinion.com/members/standarteslc/jewishquestion03.html

And still there are Jewish Liberals who are frustrated at the US policy in a pro-Israel direction often against the US National interest.

"The genesis of this is really the frustration on the part of a very substantial portion of the American Jewish community that despite the fact that there is broad support for a peace-oriented policy in the Middle East, there doesn't seem to be the political will to actually carry it out," Ben-Ami said. "We have not been effective at transmitting the message that there is political support for these positions in the American Jewish community and their allies."

John McSame could never stand up against the Zionist lobbyist and media who want to bomb, bomb, bomb....bomb, bomb Iran

I will be binforgotten

Why not? They were too big and important to touch. I found Chris Dodd's speach on the Senate Floor on Fisa to be quite interesting. He says now we will never know if the president broke the law because it will never have it's day in court.

Karl Rove don't you have more important places to be? You must have read the article.

I think McConfused might be a better description than McSame, he really is different than Bush....Really he is. I feel for him, he needs to be napping, not flipflopping around like a whale out of water.

He was truly transformed when he gave Bush that big ole hug at the revival I mean the republican convention. He wants to give us the CHANGE WE DESERVE, that could be a sign that the slogan he tried to imitate came from an anti-depressant ad. Whoa! We will all need them anti-depressants if he is elected, but what does that matter to the rich who run this once great country of ours?

Do you really think McCain who swore off lobbyist and who claims the high ground of conducting a "respectful" campaign would actually make Gramm his Sec of Treasury?
ALL I know for sure is that lobbyist are not working for nothing and they're not working in our interest. How many Federal lobbyist does McCain have working in his campaign. Isn't it like 59?

"Gramm who called Americans "a Nation of Whiners") was a lobbyist for a foreign bank during the same time he served as an advisor to John McCain. He also had a hand in the mortgage meltdown, and crafted McCain's response to the mortgage crisis: screwing borrowers to save lenders."

If you are really interested read this article from Washington Post, it is the same plan of attack as usual.

you got your info from a blog. i do not use blogs as credible sources. Obama did not vote on Fisa, however he did vote yea on the amendment to FISA that would have held the telecommunications companies accountable and answered the question of the legality of Bush's actions.

http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=110&session=2&vote=00019


The FISA vote was going to pass wheather Obama voted against it or not. Republicans would have used it against him to make him look weak on terrorism and put fear in people. After all the time spent on compromise???, how can the layman have any idea what is behind it, when the majority of the Senators are not priveledged to classified information from Bush??? I'm speculating that McCain is one of the priveledged Senators who does have access to the classified info on FISA. It is ridiculous and I think what angers me most is our Senator's will not all come together and demand to know, and they all failed.

But don't forget it does take passion to love...and don't ever feel guilty for not feeling what you don't feel and don't ever think that love can be forced from anyone cos if you have to force it, it is not love. I don't know your situation...all I know is that the need for love is a great passion and will indeed make sex more fulfilling.

yeah, passionate sex is nice...but if you do happen to attract like two magnets that damn passion will drive you crazy when it rebels against reason and even intuition. Plus there is no gaurantee that the chemistry for great passion will be there...and I think I might just feel empty. I hope I don't sound too negative...I am more like Cinde****arella..."I want the fairy tale."

Hi Wildflower, I don't know you by name...my name is Brenda. And I am very surprised to here that you are in China. It is good to hear that China is a peaceful country.


I think for financial reasons, we need to stabalize Iraq and be paid back for the war. Because I do think if we leave, other countries are going to be in there for the oil. Even if they don't agree with the dominance of America. I don't agree with it either. So then the other countries would feel obligated to help stabalize and would have financial interest, or maybe not.
Wasn't it Alphganastan that fought and fought and fought, until Russia retreated. They never stop fighting.

Hi Andrea, I never wanted to think this way...I just wanted our young men out of there. But I think we will be a bankrupt country if we leave.
Maybe China would go in and become the superpower.
We would be owned by China. I have been hearing that they are going to be the next superpower for quite sometime. I hate predicting things like this.

Oceans if we left Iraq what do you think the other countries would do? Would they then go in for the oil?
