The Truth About Oil Prices
All Global Oil Commodities are sold in what is called the Petro-Dollar, otherwise known as the United States Dollar (USD). The price of oil is directly a result of the devalued USD. Iran has already refused to accept the USD in its oil transactions preferring the Euro and the Yen.
Simply said, when a significant amount of currency (USD) is added to the global circulation then the value of that currency drops the identical amount. So as the Federal Reserve adds to the amount of USD in circulation, they devalue the currency.
It could be a shell game to support the continued government spending, or it could be o drive the value of the dollar down so the Population would be accepting of another currency. This could be the Amero but I am only speculating.
If the private bankers that control the Federal Reserve increased their influence to Mexico and Canada they would increase their profits by 30% and become the most powerful entity the world will ever see.
Now I am far from a "Truther" but there is a definitive reason for the Federal Reserve’s actions. Gross incompetence is to easy an answer and is more than likely farther from the truth. With global energy demands being satisfied, then why the rise in Oil, if anything the Oil companies would know that they would eventually lead to more regulation on them. So the long term benefits for astronomical prices would be small.
So we must look for another reason or motive as to why Oil Commodities are so high priced since “Supply and Demand” principles are not the issue.
Taxes on Global Oil Commodities are non-existent and the US has not levied more on them. With the push for Global Warming awareness poised to reduce consumption how can a commodity that is headed for extinction rising in price?
As I said, the Currency used to purchase it is devalued. Thus requiring more of the Currency to purchase the same amount of the Commodity. This is also the same reason there are rising food prices and textile goods.
This is the reason Dr. Paul has pushed for a real and meaningful discussion on Monetary Policy. As the currency is devalued it causes inflation and we are seeing Hyper-Inflation in our commodities indexes. We have to stabilize the currency in order to remain a sovereign nation otherwise China can take us over without ever firing a shot.

That's a load of my mind.
We are so fortunate that the "Speculation Authorities" are putting a stop to this rampant discussion of what could be happening. It is important to only get information from state approved outlets. Your speculation is dangerous to our society and must be stopped immediately.
Mfalkevitz - Please report to your local re-education facility immediately. Obey the state, submission is freedom!
Rubbish
(Laughing) If the TV doesn't say it, it can't possibly be true ergo speculation is, of course, entirely to blame for the price of oil pb.
False dichotomy
This statement,
It is important to only get information from state approved outlets. Your speculation ...
implies the false dichotomy that our only choices are to "get information from state approved outlets" or to speculate. Surely you do not believe this.

Speculation presented as fact
If the private bankers that control the Federal Reserve increased their influence to Mexico and Canada they would increase their profits by 30% and become the most powerful entity the world will ever see.
30%? Most powerful entity the world will ever see? On what basis are you making these claims?
So we must look for another reason or motive as to why Oil Commodities are so high priced since “Supply and Demand” principles are not the issue.
Since 'Supply and Demand' principles are not the issue? Are you sure? On what basis? Because "the Oil companies would know that they would eventually lead to more regulation on them"? You're acting as if Oil Companies are free to charge whatever they wish. Again, on what basis?
I agree with you that the devalued dollar probably explains much of the increase in the price of oil, perhaps all of it. But I don't claim to know how much is from inflation and how much, if any, is from supply and demand. Why do you?
Now you are arguing for the sake of arguing.
If you read any of the news concerning OPEC and Global Oil Production/SUpply, you would know these to be truths.
Since the Canadian and Mexican Combined Economies are 70% smaller than ours is, there would be a 30% increase in Federal Reserve Power.
This would make them more Powerful than the EU since the EU does not ave a uniform currency as of yet, and would be smaller than the combined GDP of Mexico, Canada, and the United States.
Read economics publications once and a while.

thank you
Now you are at least providing basis for your assertions, though I have not evaluated them. But at least now they can be evaluated. This is exactly what I'm trying to encourage. Thank you.
Please stop speculating
It could be a shell game to support the continued government spending, or it could be o drive the value of the dollar down so the Population would be accepting of another currency. This could be the Amero but I am only speculating.
Please stop speculating. It reflects poorly on Ron Paul and this movement.
I don't get it..
.. it's perfectly okay to "speculate" when the speculation and facts are clearly delineated. Editorialists and commentators do it all the time. What's not okay is when speculation is put forth as if it is proven fact.
The speculative part of this forum topic is clearly identified as such and the factual part is very factual...
Thank You!
That was my intent as i read the post "Get ready for $70 Oil" which was correct in its supply and demand facts, but its conclusion was incorrect in the end.
As i Said, i am not a "Truther" i am not trying to Promote a conspiracy theory, i was thinking out loud as to some possibilities and tried to qualify them as such.

Please in the future
Reply to the whole post not to a minor point made in the post. The Petro-Dollar is an economics term and the Facts of the Post I made were outlined.
The Portion about why, was clarified as speculation and not presented as fact.
please do not suppress public discourse, you would make McCain proud of you.

speculation is speculation
Speculation presented as fact is certainly worse than speculation presented as speculation, which is what you did.
But it's still pure speculation and detracts from productive discourse, which is what I'm trying to encourage.
What part...
.. are you claiming is veiled speculation?
The petro-dollar comments are spot on and factual. The speculative part is notated and demarked by comments such as "more than likely farther from the truth" and "we must look for another reason or motive".
Again, I don't get it...
Please explain
How qualifing the statement i made with the word "Speculating" is presenting it as fact?
Here isthe definition of "Speculating"
To engage in a course of reasoning often based on inconclusive evidence. See Synonyms at think.

You misunderstood
When I wrote "which is what you did" I was referring to "presenting speculation as speculation".
