The Anthrax Fiasco - The FBI's mad scientist theory also fit the agenda of the political left, which didn't want the trail of evidence to prove state-sponsorship of terror – particularly by Iraq. (Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times pushed the Hatfill theory of the case especially hard.) But the possibility of a foreign source should never have been downplayed. WSJ.com

Hot Money Rampant Oil On May 20, a neat, grey-suited hedge fund manager walked into room 342 of the imposing Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington DC and told a US government inquiry why oil prices had risen through the roof.                     "The culprits, said Michael Masters, were index speculators - large funds who buy oil as a passive investment and whose strategies amount to virtual hoarding"  Stuff.co.NZ

Avoiding Information and Misinformation Pitfalls  02/11/2006

In an exciting new era, American's can now defend themselves against mainstream media propaganda and information wars. Your new tools will be, your computer, the internet, and manual data mining techniques applied with a little common sense. Learn how to recognize and avoid being drawn in by misinformation and propaganda. The mainstream media and its political operatives or bungling bureaucrats can no longer control the information it once did. They can no longer control what they want you to believe.

It also touches on the heavily flawed 2003 presentation to the U.N. by former Secretary of State Colin Powell regarding Saddam's weapons of mass destruction. And the so-called crazy source known as curveball. Was the C.I.A., Powell, Tenet, and the current Director of Intelligence John DiMitri Negroponte duped by foreign intelligence service (s) and with the help of the C.I.A.'s rebellious and subversive political operatives? You be the judge.


When Things Go Terribly Wrong  01/26/2006

Just when you think things are under control, and then this thing happens that shows al Qaida is alive and well in Pakistan. You will learn of a botched American/Pakistani operation that was aimed at targeting a supposed Powwow of al Qaida chiefs, but the information they were acting on was planted by al Qaida operatives.

Bankruptcy Boondoggle & Bush's Low Poll Numbers 09/23/2005 to 10/20/2005 (A compilation of works).

This is where it all began. With the special interest flavored and flawed Bankruptcy bill that favored the banking and credit card industry over the best interest of the general public. Unbeknownst to the Congress and the Bush Administration, the whole country was watching very closely. From this point forward, Bush's poll numbers began a downward spiral that continues to this very day.

This particular piece of legislation signed by Bush on April 20, 2005 seriously damaged his reputation. A majority of the country at the time who had voted for him, including some democrats and independents which were brought on board, would have went to the mat for him, then they saw this happen. This changed everything.


Oil Prices 06/03/2005

The X Report warned about the price of energy over a year ago and that it was a national security concern. I just knew, the country and Bush were going to take a big hit if anything else happened on a catastrophic scale. So I started digging around and pulled a monthly crude price chart which I believed showed the oil companies and trading system was taking advantage of a situation. Analyzing that chart, to me, indicated from Nov. 2001 forward, the price of crude continued to climb unabated for no good long term reason. In essence, I believed what was occurring was nothing less than war profiteering.

Then my worst fears came true. Hurricane Katrina hit and subsequently, the price of crude continued to climb right off the chart. Just imagine what the price could be if something else catastrophic happens. At this rate, $5.00 per gallon would not be unimaginable.

In retrospect, again, without changing my opinion, what occurred was the traders took advantage of every situation to run up the price and the energy companies have reaped unbelievably high profits, setting new records highs each quarter. Many of the reasons for price increases were completely bogus. It seemed that any reason at all they could come up with, real or imaginary, they pumped it. Played it like It was only game in town, and no one did anything about it, until now.

Now, I'm not going to give it all away, lets just see who is smart enough to figure it all out and who the players involved are and how to find the evidence. Any one who thinks they know, use the feedback form and I will let you know if you got it.

Be forewarned, the chart is shocking and telling. I've had tens of thousands of hits on it and the search for it continues. And even more shocking is the traders are talking about running the price of crude to One Hundred Bucks Per Barrel !

Update: 1/04/2008 (for the record)

As per my assessment back in 2005 (see above), the traders ran the price of crude however briefly to $100.00 per barrel on Wednesday Jan. 2, 2008. (they know, they are testing the waters to see what they can get away with)

This is one of those rare times when this is one of those screws with two threads. One is for profits and the other is to screw the Republicans in 2008 and to cause harm to the economy with the expressed intent of some to discredit the Bush administration and the Republicans. But, they also are harming the American public at the same time which if the President plays the hand right, will backfire in their faces, as it usually does.

If they try and run it over a hundred bucks again, I would recommend on freezing the market and hold the funds used from seven days (maybe more) prior to and up to the mark for 90 days the first time, and the next time, seize the money permanently and use it for fighting other types of terrorist.

The public would support (applaud) such a move and the Presidents poll numbers would rise (short-term, win/win).

Any type of stimulus without future/commodity market control at this point, would be eaten up by a continuation of rising energy prices which affect the market as a whole. In short, stimulate the economy, the proceeds go to the energy sector in the form of profits as energy prices continue to rise.
