I was wondering why it dropped from $3.93 a gallon to $3.73. Now I know why...
"The real deal is this: the ‘royalty’ controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil, automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children." - James Hansen

oilcompanies are spending billions of extra dollars drilling 200 miles offshore when they could be drilling the abiotically refilling oilfields in texas.

sure
A. Advertising. Got to make the dog and pony show look real. The major oil companies are NOT in the OIL business they are in the Oil SHORTAGE business. Restricted production = higher prices and profit margins.
B. Who said they have to drill fields that are refilling? Although they ARE refilling. Are there even more dead dinosaurs than we thought?
But that's all right sssssitisen. Go back to sleep. Fuuuball is on tonight. Don' wanna miss fuuuuball do you? And don't forget Unca' wants you to get your "B vitamins" by drinking plenty of Spud.

it's just too bad that, once you factor peak oil into the current situation, everything makes sense.
Oh, it does absolutely.
If you are trying to control a large mass of people you need to have a handle on them. That handle can be either overt, through force, or covert through information control thus manipulating what people perceive to be reality. Documentarian James Burke pointed out some interesting stuff in his book and documentary "The Day The Universe Changed". One of the more interesting points was right on page one of his book: "What you see is determined by what you know." So, what a person "sees" and perceives as reality is to no small degree a result of what they know. It gives them a framework to understand the world around them. That is why for centuries everyone "knew" that the sun revolved around the earth.
The philospher Wittgenstein had some fun with that one, and this is anecdotal. Confronted by the question, "Weren't those ancients so silly and stupid to think the Sun revolved around the Earth rather than the Earth around the Sun?
To which Wittgenstein thoughtfully replied, "Yes, but I wonder how it would have looked if it did?"
The point being of course that to the observer on the ground it would have looked exactly the same.
So, if you control access to information, the types of information which people are allowed to know and are promoted, etc., you can shape public perception by presenting information which creates the desired conclusions and viewpoint. Basic PsyOps that.
So, if someone "knows" that pink oil is real then that is what they see and interpret out of the controlled news reports which themsleves in turn serve to reinforce the desired behavior and set of perceptions/interpretations of data.
Therefore it follows that if someone is fed something false then any conclusion based on false data will itself be false. If you know that 1+1=3 then you will always have the wrong answer, and never know it because you KNOW that 1+1=3 so your answer HAS to be right since it is based on what you believe to be a fact.
Personally, I prefer to get my information ad data from reliable sources rather than ABCNNBCBS-FAUX NOOZE.

i got to say that, as an oregonian in my heart, i'm ashamed of you.
but we dont really know if you're an oregonian, and we have to accept the fact that there must been an abundance or loons in oregon. just like everywhere
No new refineries have been built in at least 30 years. Interesting isn't it that "Oilman Bush" blocked the permits that were applied for by independents to build new refineries? Interesting too in that the environmental groups that oppose new drilling and refineries are largely supported by old OIL money family foundations who stand to profit quite well by blocking new production and thus keeping prices up.
That is a very telling datum.
If you have a shortage of product in a "free market" which is resulting in monopolistic pricing why would you block the introduction of new production capacity?
Why would you cap off and keep out of production the massive find at Gull Island, Alaska? Oh, and it was recently proven that Venezuela's offshore fields measure in the TRILLIONS of barrels. What a shortage! Why we might run out sometime around 2340. That is before we consider the cold fusion technology being developed in Italy, or the rumors of suppressed energy production technology in the American black budget world.
Interesting what a few "obscure" (meaning never reported by "Pills" or the Talking Heads) datums will do for your perceptions of reality.

the critical thing, when it comes to denying peak oil, is israel's awareness of peak oil... that awareness would lead to israel's motive to stage the 9/11 operation.
so... if you're gonna protect israel, you'd deny peak oil

No, but it went from 3.93 down to 3.75 in one day, then from 3.75 down to 3.73 in a day or two after that..

Do you really believe that petroleum comes from dinosaurs?

We were up to about $4.05 for super, now it's down to $3.75. I can't use regular in my car so I never keep track of the price for regular gas.

Hey Mr. comedian, do you have anything intelligent to say, or are you just here to be an asshole?

So Einstein, do you care to explain how dinosaurs can turn into petroleum, and in such huge quantities that it can power mankind for close to a century so far in terms of transportation, clothing, plastics, and a wide array of chemicals, and longer than that in terms of heating and lighting?
