Marcia - I had no ideas as to the degree of your astuteness!

1) The biggest air force in the world is the US Air Force

2) The second biggest air force in the world is the US Navy

3)The single biggest consumer of petroleum on the planet is the US Department of Defense

4)Haliburton subsidiary, KBR, bills the US government 300 Million / Day to fuel the marines in Afghanistan.

5)US financial markets go up, not because the underlying companies are delivering value, but because the US dollar inflates.

6)The USD (dollar) inflates as the price of oil inflates.

7)The "Oil Wars" are not about securing Oil - they're about securing higher oil prices, therefore inflating the USD and pumping up the US financial market bubble.

8)Crony swamp ghetto politics on the gulf coast have sought (and won) to delay the cleanup to create a crony class of spillionaires.

9)Obama could have waived the Jones Act and allowed foreign tankers with the capacity to suck 200 Million barrels a day to a dept of 500 feet into the gulf. He has not - a catastrophe is a good thing to shield grand larceny, his union buddies didn't want it and it would have limited or capped the number of "spillionaires" the disaster could grow (see #8)

10). 8 Days before the spill, cost plus Haliburton (see #4) purchased an oil spill clean up company. BTW: The last "Horizon" partner to have it's hands on the wellhead was our very famous cost plus Haliburton.(talk about being in the right place at the right time!)

11)Oil was falling through the floor before the well blew. Hitting 60/BBL and heading to 50/BBL (see #5 and #6)

12) A lot of banksters and "deeper than thou pockets" are holding futures contracts betting oil above 80 and 100$/Barrel. Those contracts expire EOQ. It certainly looks like the spill and cleanup delays means they'll make their margin calls.

13)MSNBC, a subsidiary of GE, shills tears with images of oily birds between their T-Bone Pickens windmill commercials. GE, parent of MSNBC, received a 138 Billion Dollars from Obama's FDIC (propaganda for hire).

14)GE's MSNBC does a good job of showing oily birds - but in the middle east GE weapons systems (20/40/75 mm Gatling Guns) and power systems (gas turbines) are spraying Depleted Uranium all over the place. Thousands upon thousands of DU deformed babies in the ME - and now, Johnny comes marching home to father a three headed child.

There's a saying old fisherman on the gulf coast use: Watch the Dough nut, not the "hole". Easy to sheer such willing sheeple - maybe those salt container labels indicating "iodized salt" have been a lie.

This is a great video from Casa Zaza to clear the noodle.
