Tin-foil hat time

Let’s just say that I was talking with someone today; it doesn’t really matter who they were. We were talking about how lousy the economy is, and how the cost of everything is rising.

“Except gas. Gas is cheap right now,” said this other person.

“That’s true,” I said.

“For now. For the next three weeks. It’ll go up again after the election.”

“After the election?” I said.

“Yeah, it’s the oil companies trying to influence the election.”

Mm-hm. Of course I don’t believe this. No need to wear our tin-foil hats, folks; we do not live in a world of puppetmasters and vast conspiracies.

And if the price of gas rises sharply in mid-November, it will just be coincidence.

    Harry Reid shot of his mouth about another insurance company going backrupt and the next day they all went down on the market. Democrats talking down the economy has been unprecdented. It’s not a hidden conspiracy. It’s wide open for all to see.

    The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists.
    – J. Edgar Hoover

    To the extent that the United States was governed by anyone during the decades after World War Il, it was governed by the President acting with the support and cooperation of key individuals and groups in the executive office, the federal bureaucracy, Congress, and the more important businesses, banks, law firms, foundations, and media, which constitute the private sector’s ‘Establishment’.
    – Samuel P. Huntington, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)

    Need I say more? If you don’t think there is manipulation of the market, you truly have gone fishing. Wake up.

    Ok, after reading it a second time, I’ll make one more comment:

    I don’t believe that the oil companies are trying to manipulate the election, but if you don’t think Bush, Obama, McCain aren’t puppets for the elite, you need to have some basic education…
    Google “The Money Masters”
    Read the “Creature from Jekyll Island” or “The Web of Debt: or “Tragedy and Hope” or “The True Story of the Bilderberg Group”.

    You must be one of those “coincident theory” people: Oh it’s just a coincidence David Rockefeller is the president of the Federal Reserve and also founder of the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations and member of the Bilderberg group, from which all major party candidates (and their cabinet) originate from for over 50 years and it must be a coincidence that David called for a new world order though found it difficult to happen unless a new pearl harbor-like event was to happen just a few years before 9/11. It must be a coincidence that in one day, the first, second and third steel frame buildings collapse due to fire (now a ‘new phenomena’ called “thermal expansion”) in the history of steel buildings, even though thermite has now been found, tested & confirmed at ground zero. It must be a coincidence that George Bush’s brother Marvin was principal in a company called Securacom that provided security for the World Trade Center, United Airlines, and Dulles International Airport and had an ongoing contract to handle security at the World Trade Center “up to the day the buildings fell down.” It must be a coincidence that the man (John O’Neill) that replaced Marvin on 9/11 (and was killed) was an FBI whistle blower on the lack of action in catching Tim Osman (Osama). Which that to is probably just a coincidence, that Osama B Laden shows up on google searches as a CIA assets under the name Tim Osman. It must also be a coincidence that Zbigniew Brzezinski aided al qaeda, and Zbigniew is Obama’s Foreign Policy Adviser. It’s a strange coincidence that Zbigniew’s daughter, Mika, is a CBS anchor and his son is an adviser for John McCain. That’s a coincidence that one family is involved in the media and both of the major campaigns, hum, oh jeez all that is probably just coincidence. Enjoy the koolaid.

    Ty @ 3 — What?!! Obama and McCain are puppets of the elite? Why, I can hardly believe it! They both seem so — so earnest and honest-looking, I mean I just naturally trust them both. No, no, you must be wrong. Why, it’s just like that song Tom Paxton wrote, the one Pete Seeger used to sing:

    What did you learn in school today.
    Dear little boy of mine?…

    I learned that Washington never told a lie,
    I learned that soldiers seldom die,
    I learned that everybody’s free,
    And that’s what the teacher said to me!…

    I learned our government must be strong,
    It’s always right and never wrong,
    Our leaders are the finest men,
    And we elect them again and again.
    That’s what I learned in school today,
    That’s what I learned in school.

    Dan,

    That school must have been a public school, from which the General Education Board founded, from which derived from the Columbia Teacher’s College, from which was funded by (we were just here) the Rockefeller Foundation (global elite).

    The General Education Board’s first newsletter states: “We have not to raise up from among them authors, editors, poets, or men of letters, We hall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians nor lawyers, doctors preachers, politicians, statesmen, of whom we have an ample supply…The task we set before ourselves is very simple as well as a very beautiful one, to train these people as we find them to a perfectly ideal life just where they are. So we will organize our children and teach them to do in a perfect way the things their fathers and mothers are doing in an imperfect way, in the homes, in the shops and on the farm.”

    That’s sad. I am grateful for the host to have posted my comments. It shows that there still is “A free and responsible search for truth and meaning” alive here.

    Also, I came across something in regards to the original post that the blog host might enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKSfnAXGnVY

    That being said. Even so.. I will be filling up on Monday as I am sure will be most people. It’s cheaper to believe it and be right, than to not believe it and be wrong. If the price does not go up then I will just have lots of gasoline.
