ENERGY CRISIS COMING ?
by William Floyd, Pres.
1) What would happen if Oil prices shot up due to a conflict-caused shortage?
a) Endlessly long lines at gas stations (remember the 1970's)?
b) Road rage, running-out-of-gas waiting in line, i.e. chaos?
c) Angry, unemployed Voters staying home, or taking revenge at the polls?
2) Our Navy is quietly encircling a major Oil Partner of the United States.
a) The US Navy 4th Fleet (SouthComm) is spending like drunken sailors
on spanking new bases in Costa Rica, and on the Dutch islands of
Aruba and Curacao, a mere 50 miles off the Venezuela coastline.
(Pentagon budget appears religiously exempt from the worst recession in 75 years)
b) The US Navy is building 2 expensive new bases at ports in Colombia
(part of the Pentagon's new 9 bases in Venezuela's next door neighbor).
3) 46 US Naval war ships, including aircraft carriers, and cruisers with beach
landing craft conduct exercises just 50 miles from Lake Maracaibo. The
Lake is the heart of Venezuelan Oil production. (World’s 4th largest exporter)
a) Onboard these 46 ships are between 80-90,000 fresh Marines.
4) All of this very expensive show of awesome FORCE and Naval FIREPOWER,
a) According to official Pentagon sources, is simply their "War on Drugs"
b) Or, maybe it’s the next stage in the Pentagon's Perpetual War for Oil?
(Iraq, Afghanistan ,Venezuela, then schedule “bomb-bomb Iran” next Spring?)
5) Venezuela is a vital energy partner to the United States, providing 15 + percent
of our daily gasoline consumption. She operates 7 refineries and 14,000
gas stations throughout our country. In the winter of 2005, she supplied
44.5 million gallons of heating oil to poor US communities in 10 states.
6) "Plan Balboa" was/is a Pentagon military exercise, simulating the need for US Troops
to save American citizens at risk from a revolutionary guerrilla Army in an oil
rich South American country. viz. Eva Golinger: Washington’s War on Venezuela
Three historical events may be relevant
a) USS Maine blows up accidently 1898. “Yellow-journal” Hearst fans hysteria, Sp-Am War.
a) Phony 1964 attack at Tonkin Gulf, justifies Vietnam War (58,000 US, 2 mil. Viet. dead)
b) 2-year Bush FauxNews campaign to lie about Iraq WMD to Congress + American people
