Red Alert: Huge Plunge In Petroleum and Gasoline Usage, yet prices are up? Stock Market up?

Is oil the only product in the world that when sales go down price goes up? Even the sheeple should realize this is a scam.

Oil would be $1.00 per gallon or less today, if there was no interest free money for the banks and money printing.

Oil priced in gold and silver (that can't be printed) is down as it should be in a recession/depression. It should be down in US dollars, too.

The very definition of a recession/depression is lack of demand, therefore prices drop. This is common sense. When the prices drop, the volume of sales of that product increases and the economy recovers, and businesses start hiring again since volume of sales increases. This goes for all businesses in the real world of no currency supply manipulation. The reason we are not recovering is because the FED and the Government won't let prices drop. They claim there is no inflation but that assumes constant sales volume which we don't have, we have a severe drop off in sales volume.

If commodity prices were allowed to drop, businesses profit margins would increase and workers and owner will make more money, hire more workers. The fixed income recipients check would buy twice as much.

It takes 7 times as many dollars to buy an ounce of Gold which produces nothing and gives off no income since 2001.

It takes 4 times as many dollars to buy a gallon of Gasoline since 2001.

Oil is the only commodity in the world that must be bought in dollars backed up by the US Military. This is a monopoly by the International Banks. If the monopoly is broken will prices go up or down? Hint, monopolies are for raising prices not lowering them.

The stock market because of massive free money and 0% credit for the banks make it seem like the market is going up, but what your are watching is a reverse crash right underneath the sheeples noses. When the stock market seems to be flying high in reality you are witnessing the crashing of the US dollar.

Hyper-inflation is here, folk. Don't fall for the 3 card monty trick.

Max Keiser mentioned this yesterday...

...wish FoxNews/CNBC junkies would put 2+2 together and realize these polar opposites CANNOT occur simulateously - there is NO RECOVERY!!!

The FED has propped up a collapsing house of cards in order to get us through an election!

Also on Keiser's show, for the Occupy! people; was a drawn out mention that the 1% they hate so much, are the BILLIONAIRES paid by our government to invent and execute all the SPYING and SURVEILLANCE on the American people! The most concentrated percentage of them all live within half-an-hour of Washington DC ....

Between the duped Neo-Cons, and stupid leftists; man are we in trouble!

The deliberate Marxist tanking of this economy through political cronyism and moral compromise, in pursuit of the love of money carrot-and-stick approach(Federal Reserve bubble)cost me and my family a successful budding career that I loved! Ron Paul 2012

The

war spending and welfare spending is showing up in higher prices.

Inflation is the increase of money supply, higher prices are symptom of high inflation

Water Car/ Electric Car.. & other great inventions: suppressed

The New World Order Suppression of alternative energy - They want everybody on Gas

Cars have driven on nothing but water since the 80's, and very efficiently on electricity in the 90's.. both advancements were "killed" by TPTB:

It's up to $4.03 a gallon

It's up to $4.03 a gallon here in Central California.

Really pisses you off when you know about HHO and Stan Meyer.. we're all getting scammed.

Excellent observations!

Oil prices have been manipulated for investment banker's profit ever since the product started trading on the options market. I think right now, we're seeing manipulation for purposes of public distraction. Suck money out of our pockets, and make US mad at Iran. Inside bankers load up on profit, neocons rev up the rhetoric at Iran, you and I stay distracted because we're getting screwed and can't do much about it. Desperate gamble for Obama. It's almost like they have so much confidence in re-election that they think they can feed us a shit sandwich and make us like it. I've got this bad feeling that no matter how bad our economy gets, they've got the keys to the White House in their pocket. Even with the Ron Paul revolustion, only 6000 people show up to vote in Maine? That tells me that people just don't care anymore.
