So, it's official. Though Iran is supplying the men and weapons for the Muslims in Iraq, they obviously cannot afford to pay for a long war against America. There has to be someone else involved. China is kicking our butt economically, so they do not need to fight us. They can wait until all of our large corporations are broke or have relocated to China. Then, they can just foreclose on the money America is borrowing from them. Our government will have to close down or move its operations to China with all the other large companies.Then, China can nationalize all the foreign companies located on their territory. America will be broke(n). No, China is profiting by selling our enemies weapons needed to kill our troops, while acting like our friend by selling us cheap products they manufacture with labor paid just enough to survive. They are also letting us give them much of our industrial capability. Actually, we are paying them to take it. And, one day, take it they shall, unless.......
    There is one country, besides America's oil companies, who will profit most from the inevitable nuclear and biological conflict in the middle east. When Israel nukes Iran, all those WMD's that were missing from Iraq, all the Islamic countries' nukes, and all the other weapons supplied to those idiotic Islamists by Russia, China, and North Korea are going to be used against Israel, America, and anyone else associated with us. The middle eastern oil fields will be too radioactive and contaminated to be accessed for a thousand years, likely. Anyone else with large reserves will be sitting pretty. It seems that Russia, with either the second or third largest oil reserves in the world will  be able to charge whatever they want for their oil. Saudi Arabia and Iraq, numbers 1 and either 2 or 3, will not be producing oil for a few centuries after the coming nuclear and biological war in the mid east. Russia figures to have the west, including America, on their knees when the former Commies control most of the available oil. And they're right except they do not have the technology nor the capacity to access their vast petroleum reserves in Siberia and the Arctic Shelf or wherever it is they have all that oil and gas, much less refine and transport it. So, they need a partner in their scheme to dominate the world.
    In Feb. of 2003, in a small East Texas newspaper, an article appeared, buried near the back of the front section, by the obituaries. It stated a judgement was rendered against Exxon/Mobile, in a lawsuit filed by the State of Alabama, for 3.1 billion dollars. Apparently there was a disagreement over the fine print on their contract for some natural gas wells in Mobile Bay. Also, since a stack of suits awaited this verdict  one  might   think many,if not all, of Ex/Mob's clients felt the oil giant wanted to keep more than its share of the few and far between proceeds from the accessing of the practically worthless petroleum products from these entities' lands. An average layman would probably conclude the price of gasoline was likely to go up. Surely Ex/Mob could not be expected to pay one cent of these unreasonable judgements they were looking at having to come up with. They could add up to over a hundred billion dollars. Why, they did all the work. Ex/ Mob's clients should feel blessed to get any money from Ex/Mob's labors. They were paying their clients more than enough.
    Best I can remember, something pretty important happened about a month later. Something like, America invaded Iraq. Some people say we were not prepared. Others say we should not have gone at all. I tend to agree with the first argument. A suspicious mind could possibly conceive the invasion and resulting moon shot oil prices were more than coincidentally close behind the verdict in this possible first of many extreeeemly expeeeeensive lawsuits. Apparently, no one, not one person, democratic or republican, liberal or conservative, columnist or blogger, foreign or domestic thought there was any relationship between this judgement and the following war or skyrocketing price of oil and gasoline. Every other possible conspiracy was discussed, dissected, drawn out, and delivered to anyone who would listen. That seems strange to me.
    In November of 2005, on the front page of the Dallas Newspaper, an article stated the federal  government declared that, in an effort to help the poor starving oil companies scrape up the funds to explore and drill for more oil and gas, the oil companies no longer have to pay royalties on products taken from federal land. Evidently, the government realized Ex/Mob was not going to pay royalties anyway, so they could save public expenses in endless and futile litigation trying to collect the money Ex/Mob would not pay in royalties. Still, no one anywhere even wondered, publicly, if anything underhanded is going on here. I believe there is a possibility just because no one is publicly discussing these strange coincidences.
