Oil Price Jumps 8.5% in One Day: War is a Racket
Submitted by MaxK on Tue, 02/22/2011 - 20:23We live in a huge speculation bubble caused by near zero percent interest rates by the Federal Reserve. The silver market is ruined for the banks. 8.5% increase in oil is not an uncertainty if you know it is going to happen.
Read this book by Major General Smedley D. Butler.

"Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves."

We have plenty of oil right
We have plenty of oil right here in this country. It is our own politicians who are preventing us from getting it out of the ground.
These politicians have sold their souls to the big oil companies in order to maintain their monopoly on oil production and maximize profits. That's the real function of the Department of Energy: maximum profits for the big oil companies.
The only solution is to explain this to the American people and to vote out the political prostitutes now in power.
Federal or state politicians?
Do you think the people of North Dakota would allow either from keeping them from drilling the Bakken? Is there a lot of federal parks or protected land in North Dakota?
Wouldn't the state of North Dakota love to get those oil royalties?
What evidence do you have that politicians, not economics are keeping us from getting it out of the ground? Are you aware of how many rigs are drilling the Bakken right now? Hundreds. There's lots of drilling, why do you think the politicians are keeping them from drilling?
'Cause there's a monster on the loose
And today, the rise continues: Oil $97.66 +2.24 +2.35%

George Soros at the bottom of this...
Like the funding of Brazilian oil firm Petrobas following the Gulf disaster 'accident', I feel that Soros' funding of many of the now-calamatous nations' dictators is proof-positive that he's got his fingers in the oil pie. If Soros owns oil stocks, then gets the region into unrest...the prices zoom and he makes yet another fortune!

"Gaddafi orders oil sabotage, source tells Time columnist"
NEW YORK Feb 22 (Reuters) - Time magazine's intelligence columnist reported on Tuesday that Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has ordered his security forces to sabotage the country's oil facilities, citing a source close to the government.
In a column posted on Time's website, Robert Baer said the sabotage would begin by blowing up pipelines to the Mediterranean. However he added that the same source had also told him two weeks ago that unrest in neighboring countries would never spread to Libya -- an assertion that has turned out to be wrong.
"Among other things, Gaddafi has ordered security services to start sabotaging oil facilities," Baer wrote. "The sabotage, according to the insider, is meant to serve as a message to Libya's rebellious tribes: It's either me or chaos."
The growing violence in Libya has forced a number of oil companies to shut in production in Africa's third-largest oil producer and disrupted flows from the country's export terminals.
Security forces have cracked down fiercely on demonstrators across the country, with fighting spreading to Tripoli after erupting in Libya's oil-producing east last week. As the fighting has intensified some supporters have abandoned Gaddafi.
Baer, a former Middle East CIA officer, said the source told him that as of Monday Gaddafi had the loyalty of only about 5,000 of the country's 45,000-strong regular army.
Paraphrasing the source, he said that Gaddafi had also ordered the release from prison of the country's Islamist militant prisoners in hopes they would act on their own to sow chaos.

Gee, do any of you think that...
Gee, do any of you think that if we actually enjoyed a free market that this would be the case? Or do you suppose that perhaps, just perhaps, the reason that consumers are subjected to the whims of the people who control the huge petroleum corporations that use every excuse to jack the price of their product up might only be possible because their pals in government don't allow any competition to sell the same product? I mean, after all, it's not as if the people who are government stifle competition for their big business pals, right?

This is a little deeper than not having a free market. You can have something that appears in all other respectives a free market, and have a central bank, and get the same speculation bubbles caused by it - with just that one thing. Leading to things like war for the sake of lucre.
It's the "one ring of power" that subverts the whole thing, and changes by subterfuge a free economy into a controlled one over many years.

There can be no central bank in a free market
A central bank can only exist in a market that's not free.
I know that, you know that,
I know you know that, but most people don't know how we got where we were - and will argue for government deregulation - straight market interference, while leaving a central bank, fiat money, or central coinage.
Point in fact - *central coinage* is not a free market. If we got rid of fiat money, and coined gold coins with legal tender laws, it would still not be a free market.
A free market would have competing currencies that the market chooses, and no government monopoly on coining - or not. It makes a huge difference. A subtle error that if not corrected will get us right back where we are again. It's been going on for thousands of years. This is the best shot we've ever had to establish a COMPLETELY FREE MARKET with competing currencies and *no& government monopoly on coining.
Amendment. The government will not coin any money or emit bills of credit.

How about, "Legal Tender: metal weight@ spec purity"
Like found to define the US Dollar.
The Spanish Dollar in 1776, was primarily minted in Mexico.
US coins: Weights & meausres... how to count money.
"A truly free society or government will only declare as legal tender, that media that society has already chosen as the accepted medium of exchange by its own free will.
... our Constitution and its monetary policy, the dollar was ... a specific weight and fineness of silver - the "silver dollar".
" The Constitution established that the States could not accept anything but gold and silver coin as legal tender and that Congress had the authority to mint silver and gold coins, but not the authority to print or emit bills of credit or paper money.
... the Constitution and the Original Coinage Act of 1792 established as our monetary standard and system - the standard being a defined weight of silver with a bimetallic coinage system of silver and gold coins"...
"First gold was driven out of circulation, and then over time silver became the lackey, until eventually both metals were driven into exile and buried beneath a mountain of worthless paper debt and hollow promises to pay: that is our now current system of paper fiat - a mere shade of its former self. But such events beg the question: a lackey of whom or by what power?"

Glossory
Assay: a test to ascertain the fineness and weight of a precious metal.

Grain: earliest weight unit for gold. One troy ounce contains 480 grains.
Gram: the basic unit of weight of the metric system. (31.1035 grams = one troy ounce.)
Legal tender: currency in specified denominations which a creditor is compelled by law to accept as payment of a debt.

My understanding is in the
My understanding is in the bible, before babylon, what we read as "coin" is simply a weight of gold or silver. A just balance, as Roger Sherman would have said in his tract.
http://www.constitution.org/cmt/rsherman/caveatagainst.htm
Strike "coin" from the constitution. It implies you can't use an ounce of gold bar. There is nothing magical about having something minted. Gold is a commodity. It is also one of the exact excuses used to say States don't need to follow the constitution, since nothing is being substantially minted they can use as gold and silver coin.
Let a laissez-faire free market exist. Let the buyer beware. There is no reason to have special mint marks. There is no reason to have the government involved at all. Let the buyer and seller exchange whatever they want.
Currency, money, and commodity are not the same words, despite how they are used (or misused). You can have a currency without having "moneta".
My research leads me to believe that "money" orginally only refers to what is government minted, specifically from the origin of the word, which is the Roman Goddess Juno Moneta, where the money was sacrificed and minted, on the hill Capitoline or Capitol of Rome. If money is the worship of a Roman goddess, money goes against Christianity.
Currency, or what people pass, does not have to be minted or have government force behind it, and gold isn't always money even if it is minted as such sometimes, it's a commodity - AND DOESN'T NEED GOVERNMENT FORCE. And currency can even by sea shells, if that is what people choose to pass and what the market uses.
The Romans didn't originate this goddess worship apparently, the Babylonians did in their system. When the government mints money, it uses force and threatens to kill people who compete. When it drives out the competitors, it debases it, makes it smaller, mixes metals with it, makes it paper. At the same time, everyone becomes forced into a taxation system, which will involve all buying and selling, and anyone who does't accept it will be killed.
This is the way it is, and the way it's been apparently since babylonian days. It is also, fyi, very similar to the beast in revelation, and if this isn't the beast in revelation, which the whole world worships (through the idea that it is ok to kill people if it's the government, which is wrong), then it is similar in nature and *still wrong*.
Let's kill at least kill *this* beast once and for all.
Government should not be minting money, or killing people if they don't get permission to buy or sell. Government should not be initiating force at all, whether it is through coining money or tax permits.
All use of force that isn't defensive in nature is wrong. There is no right to "coin" money. If someone wants to privately mint an ounce of gold, they should be able to do so, but it isn't likely to be worth more than an ounce of gold bar. Because without government, it is just a commodity, and only one of many possible competing currencies.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
Wow! Very impressive. Money need not be coin, token, nor idol.
No prayer nor offering to Roman Goddess Juno Moneta.
I will study more of what you wrote. Well done.
