*The OPEC minister has looked us in the eyes and said: "We are at war with you infidels and have been since the embargo of the 1970s. You are so arrogant you haven't even recognized it. You have more missiles, bombs and technology; so we are fighting with the best weapon we have and extracting on a net basis about $700,000,000,000 per year out of your economy.
We will destroy you! Death to the infidels! While I am here I would like to thank you for not developing your 250-300 year supply of oil shale and tar sands. We know if you did this, it would create millions of jobs for US citizens, expand your engineering capabilities and keep the wealth in the US instead of sending it to us to finance our war against you bastards. Thanks for limiting defense dept. purchases of oil from your neighbors to the north. We love it when you confuse your allies.
Thanks for over regulating every segment of your economy and thus delaying, by decades the development of alternate fuel technologies.Thanks for limiting drilling off your coasts, in Alaska and anywhere there is a bug, bird, fish or plant that might be inconvenienced. Better that your people suffer!
Glad to see our lobbying efforts have been so effective. Corn based ethanol. Praise Allah for this sham program! Perhaps you will destroy yourself from the inside with these types of policies! This is a gift from Allah, praise his name! We never would have thought of this one. This is better than when you pay your farmers NOT TO GROW FOOD!! Have them use more energy to create Less Energy and simultaneously drive food prices through the roof.
Thank you US Congress!And finally...we appreciate you letting us fleece you without end. You will be glad to know we have been accumulating shares in your banks, real estate, and publicly held companies. We also finance a good portion of your debt and now manipulate your markets....your currency and economy to our benefit.Thank you America...and you will...PRAISE ALLAH.

Z,
I think our 'anonymous' friend should allow you to credit him with a fine article, painful as it is to read, the truth shall set us free. (I hope).
Pris
Sometimes he's so stubborn that he stops being "dear"! (Smile)
I wish he'd let me credit him, too, but alas...........Imagine, a chance to appear HERE? People are CLAMORING to get published here!
I turn down Victor Davis Hansen, Dennis Prager, Newt, Byron York, Chris Caldwell...I TURN DOWN ANN COULTER, dontcha know!!
But, YOU, dear Priscilla, are my star. I could have made anonymous one, too, but he JUST doesn't get it.
ah, well.
(that was FUN to write!! thanks for the nudge!!!!) Now..tell Ann I'll publish her next month IF she's REAL good.
Wow...that really hurt to read such a painful truth! Imagine...a coutry without energy? Imagine a country without mobility? Imagine a country without production capability? Imagine a country without it's own resources to capatalize on? Imagine a country without the ability to transport food or goods any longer? We're on the precipice kids and we'll teeter off the brink while we hunt caribou and snail darters. Not even realizing that over 98% of all the plant /animal species since the beginning of time...have vanished! And that's because NATURE alone decides who and what will survive. Including all of us.

There is clear and amazing insight here. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that any Middle Eastern petty tyrant could sign such a note, nor irrational to conclude it echo’s the sentiments of that mindless twit, B. Hussein Obama, the terrorist organizations that support his candidacy, or any Democratic American-hating member of Congress.
No, we must not exploit our own resources – we must continue to kiss Arab ass to satisfy the inconsequential egos of Harry Reed and Nancy Pelosi. Let us enjoy the clear air – it is all we can afford these days.

Wow. This one is GOOD...very thought provoking indeed.
Well, I hope that my beliefs are good news on this whole oil thing.
A week or so ago, when Bush turned to the House and said we need to start drilling at home, I turned to my wife and said that this MIGHT be the beginning of the turnaround...just TALK about drilling our own actually sparked a downshift in oil prices - but it was soon quickly offset by Israel practicing to turn Iran into a big sheet of black glass.
The more talk we mention about drilling here, the lower prices of oil may come about.
Just a thought.
Look at these figures over the course of a year. Then tell me when that barometer will result in an explosion of action at the polls?

Thank you Z, surely all those stars don't know what they'e missing. Good company and lively debate.
Anonymous, methinks, likes that air of mystery. You know, appears out of the ether, then retreats, to play another day.
Well, well. Imagine a country without Imp. No, I can't imagine that.
Hi Imp.
We can only hope, while things are not looking promising, that they are not quite as dire as you pose.
And yes, nature does decide, except in the minds of those humans who have taken on the mantle of Gods.
They are the ones who will cause us to falter if we allow them to.
Good to see you here, Impster!
And you Z, as my father in law used to say as he chuckled, "are a caution".
Thanks for the kind words.
Pris
Z:
Thanks for visiting my blog. I came over to return the favor and found one of the best posts I have ever read! I wonder if Anonymous would mind seeing his words plastered in newspapers all over the country?? I know the little town rag up here in New Hampshire would print it. This message really should be seen by all Americans, even the stupid ones!
Joe
And who steadfastly refuses to change from the current strategy, oh yeah the guy barracking for change.
Wow, that was awesome. Defiantely makes one think.
Hey, Joe..New Hampshire's not as liberal as we hear??
Karma...thanks for coming by. Looking forward to exchanging info with you.
MK...you nailed it.
I would like to add one paragraph to this excellent article:
"And thank you for not making a serious effort to reducing your energy consumption - that additional money in our pockets alone made it possible for us to buy your real estate and your companies - before you know it, we will own you."
Folks, I just read in newspapers from across the ocean something we knew and I have written about before: The speed of buying real estate and companies in the West by these guys is increasing dramatically. This, and all the miracle buildings they are building in the Arabian peninsula, is done with OUR MONEY!
This, and not that stupid climate change (which we cannot influence) is the main reason for us to explore more oil possibilities, find other energy sources, AND reduce consumption.
Mr.Z
Mr. Z...every time I get those photos of Dubai about how BEAUTIFUL and MODERN and EXPENSIVE it is, I get the very creepy feeling they're building it to be the NEW MUSLIM CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.
Silly, I know...but it hits me every time I see it.
Goes along with what you're saying. Mrs. Z! (of course, I COULD just turn around in my chair and see you in your chair and TELL you this, but then I wouldn't be blogging!)
