  • Is peace such a hard concept relly think about it for everyone to just stop... war has never bought anything good it has just made more problems... we may not make it to the next century at this rate wit nukes and stuff ya know..

  • @redgy7

    War= Money

    After War=Loss money =D Is like right after the Great Depression on how it ended with war...which builds up the economy with money. So yeah war is mostly greedy shit! ahaha

  • Yeah US soldiers used depleted uranium in there bullets in Irak and Afghanistan.

    I

  • @bkeener86 aw did i anger the lil hippy by pointing out the obvious?

  • @orion1979z the Taliban established the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which was promptly crushed by the american soldiers this video stands against. They are now pushing into northwest Pakistan. Where is Afghanistan and Pakistan? The Middle East, learn Geography you tard.

  • Thank you Representative Press, you are so right!! People are being medicated with flouride to pacify them like the Germans medicated the WWII prisoners. We have a fascist government now and it is not so safe to be protesting but if there were sufficient numbers it makes it safer. Imagine the police clubbing and arresting peaceful marchers. What kind of government does that? One with things to hide and does not want to be brought to an accounting. Israel runs our government.

  • This guy is simply a Left Wing Extremist trying to get himself noticed. Don't drag santa into your pathetic regime you sad jewish radicalist. Instead go to the middle east yourself and have a chat with the Taliban, i'm sure they'll be happy to blow your head off.

  • @Takedashingn troll you can't really be that stupid 

  • @Takedashingn

    you call this poster a left wing extremist sad jewish radicalist?

    Since when is a man who calls for peace an extremist?

    And Taliban isn't in the Middle East, judging by your general knowledge, there is more hate in you than logical reasoning

  • @Takedashingn awww is the poor jew geting scared that americans are learning the truth to bad we've known for a great deal of time infact over half of the world knows.So you need to inform your evil jewish leader they we americans along with the world are planing to give you two choices stop promoting evil thoughout the world & enslaving us all & you are you fucking jews still most of our money we work for & you just sit on your overweight jew ass.So fuck you on behalf of the entire world.

  • @Takedashingn Again we hate you & support those of the jewish community who've decided to change and now support good,unity,peace,freedom, you know all the shit your hardcore jews fucking hate as your evil and even the real bible starts this jew=whore the bible says the whore of babylon...well read it you'll know your demise is near.Evil shall not be tolerated anymore by your primitive people with their evil and criminal ways.Also any delusion you can beat us is laughable world vs israel :).

  • @Takedashingn sad thing is thats going to happen unless all jews even the criminal jews who are only the richest people on the planet because they steal from the world daily.I see many legit corporations making billons yet jews always lie on their tax refund form,control world policy trying to make it legal to steal middle/work class citizens income.The list goes on & the fact you patheically attempted to cover up the truth just proves what people like me say as we don't fucking lie like you.

  • Thank you for reminding US! I personally am on a "STOP SANTA" / Cancel Christmas Campaign. You can it out on my facebook page by looking for Christine A. Jubic.

  • youtube.com/user/theteapartytr­uther1 Over 500 videos collected! Our government hates my ass! lol

  • I like your Christmas message and have had my say about what we can do to put paid to ALL war in my YouTube video

  • Fadisale...you obviously support islam. Your comments show that you are nothing more than a terriorist sympathizer. This is the problem with Youtube, lets morans like yourself post B.S. messages. I will burn a copy of the Quran in your honor...piece of shit terrorist.

  • @Bingo411

    If you burn a copy of the Quran, the whole middle-east will beat your miserable jewish ass.

  • Ask the U.S. Soldiers and Marines who are fighting this war. Have you ever served your country? Do you know what sacrifice means? Stop your B.S. propaganda and support your troops and country. This video is nothing more than your liberal approach to bring attention to yourself from the sacrifice of others. Your should be ashamed of yourself.

  • @Bingo411 he is not saying to not support the troops he saying to stop the war so the troops can come home for the holiday and see there family and friend you fucking dumb ass

  • a jew, Jesus, and his mates fucked up Roman Empire.

    modern day jews gonna fuck up the USA

  • whose this douche bag? Woody ALLEN???

  • If you can't see it was control demo you are an idiot. When the whole nation finally wakes up, you will have ruined yourself. Building 7, There is no way you are that stupid to not be able to see that was control demo. I've been in the business for 32 years and there is NO WAY a steal frame building can fall at gravity. Your children are going to be so ashamed of you or say, "DArn my dad is an idiot or worse, a traitor.

  • Santa is sponsored by Coca Cola !

  • Being educated enough not to be militaristic jingoistic moron isn't being anti-American.

  • @rayban5016

    Back there, you had a wrong comment about being anti-american. You are still a man who speaks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no Nations, there are no peoples. There is only the monetary-ism. It doesn't matter if you are democrat, communist, socialist, republican, as all borders were broken with the monetary-ism.

    It's worthless to speak more about being anti-american. It doesn't matter what color you are, or nationality, or creed or genre or age. They're human problms

  • @rayban5016 I didn't realise that Santa had created the Lapland Liberation Front.??

    This is purile nonsense....

  • rayban5016: you mmust be a zio-pseudo-christian....the same sort who says Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas

  • santas a republican right wing methodist

  • Why would Sanata say that?

    Maybe Santa is a Pro-Israeli.

  • If the fable is 'christian' you know he's pro israel.

  • @Kite208 ll

  • Thanks for posting this video. I agree 100% Rational and peace-loving people of this world need to come together.

  • Man are you a moron..What about all the terrorists our military has taken out..and yes..the Taliban not turning over Bin Laden is a great reason to go in..forget the fact that they terrorize their own people, throw acid in little girls faces, grow most of the worlds poppys and generally want to drag the world backinto the dark ages with their Sharia laws..Next stop Yemen...Get yer head out of the sand...and your ass

  • The terrorists "our" military has taken out? We've killed far more innocent civilians. And when the US military kills an innocent civilian, how do you think that innocent civilian's family feel about the US?

    The Taliban not turning over Bin Laden? What propaganda sites have you been syndicating recently? The Taliban agreed to give him if the US administration provided evidence of his guilt. But the Bush administration wanted the evidence confidential and so refused.

  • Throw acid in little girls' faces? When?! Where?! And are you aware of the atrocities _our_ military committed? That we invaded and occupied a sovereign nation? That we used illegal chemical weapons on civilians? That we tortured? That we built human pyramids?!

    Drag the world back into the dark ages? Are you aware that, during the European dark ages, the Islamic world was making advancements in government, science, math, literature, art, music, and architecture?

  • Back when?...about 1000 years ago?...How does that apply to today?Umm, it doesn't. And have you not seen the reports of acid throwing..to keep young girls from going to school?.Or do you choose to ignore those types of incidents? And do not weep to me for the innocents...or aare all the people killed in the trade centers guilty, along with all the MUSLIMS killed by cowardly suicide bombers..they guilty too? As far as evidence of Bin Ladens guilt..he claimed responsibility..evidence enough

  • It doesn't apply to today, but your use of "dark age" is ironic.

    The reports of acid throwing? We're discussing isolated incidents. Throwing acid in girls' faces is not normal Islamic culture any more than poisoning your spouse, building human pyramids, and collecting Japanese skulls is normal Western culture.

    Bin Laden only claimed responsibility in 2004, 3 years after the US invaded; he initially denied responsibility. The Taliban was willing to negotiate but needed evidence. The US refused.

  • Well we obviously have a difference ofopinion concerning the facts. Bin Laden claimed responsibility well before '04, shortly after the attack. Even if he denied it, there were still the attack on the trade center in '93 and the attack on the USS Cole as well as other incedents. More than enough to extradite him.

  • On October 29 of 2004 at 21:00 UTC, Al Jazeera broadcasted a video in which Bin Laden first claimed responsibility. If you aren't aware of this, you should become aware by looking it up.

    Al Qaeda is only one of many terrorist organizations opposed to the US. The US had no extradition treaty with Afghanistan. Refusal to grant extradition on request does not warrant invasion and occupation of a sovereign nation. The US refuses to grant extradition on a regular basis.

  • @theCamelCase ISRAEL DID 911 UNDER FALSE FLAGE. THE MILITARY KNOW IT. WAKE UP AND SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH.

  • @fadisale No, the Israeli government did not crash two planes into the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001. How would that be in Israel's interest? Building on occupied territory, maybe. But crashing planes on American soil? No. No, you need to wake up. Stop spouting absurd conspiracy theories.

  • Comment removed

  • @theCamelCase watch video us military know israel did 911

  • @theCamelCase watch video us military knows israel did 911 and also website 911missinglinks and watch the video

  • @fadisale That isn't true and the military does NOT know such nonsense.

  • Comment removed

  • @representativepress watch video us military knows israeldid 911 and also 911missinglinks

  • @representativepress WEBSITE 911MISSINGLINKS AND WATCH VIDEO. ALSO GOOGLE FACTS NOT FAIRIES

  • @representativepress how come?

  • @evel1969 No, none of them are guilty EITHER. See, that's the thing here -- BOTH can be wrong. Both what the terrorists did and what we are doing.

  • lmao, you have no fucking clue who the Taliban are.

  • As a member of the US Military I think I have a pretty good idea who they are.

  • you being in the military does not mean much.

  • Really..and what do you stand for? Anything besides words on a basically meaningless page?

  • i stand for getting to the truth. what do you stand for? killing em boogeymans up in the hills? or the people who are putting up a resistance against occupation?

  • I stand for my country..my neighbors..and my fellow Americans..even you. I don't say everything we do is right 100%..But what would you have our country do? Nothing? Take it? We might as well be France.. :)

  • too bad whatever your doing has nothing to do with what you stand for.

    but the french joke is always funny :D

  • @evel1969 And all you can post here is words on a meaningless page too.

  • More islamic propaganda !! We need to carpet bomb Iran, Syria, and the hills of Pakistan. Islam is a disease, a cancer, a virus, on the Earth, and peace can never be with their world conquest killing insurgency. They are the attackers, not us. They must be stopped, even if it means innocent muslims will die in the process. These cowards hide behind their women and children. We need to declare total war on all of these people until they stop these attacks.

  • stick a gun in your mouth and pull the trigger

  • Funny minutemanbob57, I thought the same thing of christians... All religion is bad, it breads hatred through false teachings. Its pretty simple, stop killing muslims and stop occupying their land for oil and profit, and they won't feel like blowing up our planes or attacking Americans.

  • 1000 years ago would a virus, cancer, disease, illness and etc. lay the foundations for Western society and culture. During the Dark Ages the Catholic Church was very powerful and influential.

    While the illiterate peasants, pugnacious knights, charismatic bishops/tenants in chief and the autocratic monarch of Medieval Feudal Europe fought constantly with neighbouring states,

  • the vast, sophisticated Islamic Empire (Caliphate) contributed to sophistications in art, science, mathematics, literature, warfare, music, architecture, military and government that Renasaince Europe would adopt and learn from.

  • The USA should stop giving Israel 3 billion a year.

  • thought it was 10-12

  • Love your videos, you speak the truth, thank you, God bless you!!!

  • May God / Allah / Eloh bless you !

    I think you did the speech of the year , this is worth a subscribe.

  • RP you have to acknowledge wars start under false pretext on many occasions including this ficticious war on terror.

  • I always love RP's videos. They make me think.

  • The question that provokes in my mind is: Why, really, are the major powers (and others) allowing it to happen?

    The only answer that makes some sense to me is this. They have concluded, but cannot say, that nuclear-armed Israel, with the assistance of the Zionist lobby in all of its manifestations, is a monster beyond control.

  • LMAO @ "mastermind of 9-11"

    They've changed the story so many times its not funny anymore...

    KSM is a fraud.

  • Patsy more like it.

  • Great video.

    I always knew Santa was more then just handing out presents.

    Thanks for all you do to help make our world a happier, safer place for all of us.

    Michael and

    Boo Dog

  • war happens because politicians fail

  • Rumor goes, Santa is co-founder of Agenda 21. He wants to work only part-time on Christmas...

  • Santa is actually the Coca Cola man (corporate substitution). Just like modern "freedom". The part you aren't getting is to become comfortable with "wars" and "injections" and "poverty" and to be happy with your new definitions provided to you.

  • Make love, not war.

  • just make love...

  • get a room you two

  • hey man, i hate to sound like a conspiracy nut, but there is no santa clause. he was made up for kids. i know it might be a hard thing for you to grasp but its true. sorry.

  • Your video does bring up a good point. These wars are even worse than the war on drugs because they barely even touch on the problem.

  • Now thats telling it like it is>>>

  • i appreciate this video.

  • silence tax slaves.  Your government needs more of your hard earned dollars to kill brown people. Shut up. Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize so stop bugging him okay. Clearly Obama is on the side of peace the escalation was a typo or something. Hey war is peace. um whatever.

  • I would love to see video clips of the media saying they found him "on a battlefield."

  • Its not only the american media and the american people. its here in the uk also

    i shall pass this very true message on

    thanks for taking the time

  • You make some great points!

  • I knew IT! THERE Is NO Santa Clause..or else we would have heard that message years ago.

  • comment

  • happy festivities to you friend!

    I did contact my depute, minister, PM and general governor over the geneva convention, I will not stop spreading the message!

    Peace to you

  • ..., because there are apparently, to many people that cannot govern themselves,lso, the powers that be didn't

    get their Christmas bonuses or, should I say Happy Holiday bonus. Yes Stop these rumors of War. & stop killing people!

  • Santa is a symbol of consumerism. Why the hell would he want to stop wars?

  • lol good input

  • because the REAL consumerism starts when the soldiers come home.

  • Responding to the "Taliban/Al Qaeda" pretext for war implies the acceptance of that pretext as the real motivation behind the occupation of Afganistan. The motivations for the war were and are about economics (funnelling Turkmen oil and natural gas for sale to India via the Trans-Afganistan pipeleine) and geopolitical (establishing a militiary base in Afganistan to protect strategic american interests in the region).

  • Any debate over the improvement of the living standards of the Afghans and over the Taliban/Al Qaeda issue is trivial, as it fails to pinpoint the real motive behind this war. Honestly, the Bush administration was not concerned about the treatment of women under the Taliban or the poor standards of living or about Bin laden at all, they went on the war path for imperalisitc reasons, pure and simple

  • Merry Xmas Rep Press,

    I have thought about putting my own videos out, but you say everything that needs to be said as well as anyone can say them.

  • The Hebraic secular Jews may have managed to drop their God, most of them do not follow Judaic law, they are largely secular, and yet 94% of them interpret their Jewish identity as a genocidal mission. They have successfully managed to transform the Bible from being a spiritual text into a bloodsoaked land registry. They are there, in Zion i.e., Palestine, to invade the land and to lock up, starve and destroy its indigenous habitants.

    Gilad Atzmon

  • The secular jews are not the ones moving to israel.

    The biggest problem is that fear of the antisemites is causing the jewish people to want a homeland where they are the majority and the Zionists are causing antisemitism, because of the atrocities the Israelis are committing in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. No antisemitism=no zionism.

    Israel only became a nation after the influx of jewish people after the atrocities of World War II.

  • I have a gut feeling anti-semitism is a reaction to Zionism. The myth is the other way around.

  • What about the FBI, or whoever they were, helping the so called terrorist plant the bombs in 1993? How come you never say anything about that?

  • Satan is know as the prince of peace

    BIBLE it

  • SANTA IS ETERNAL

    A child knows nothing of his beginning. To a child, Santa has just always existed.

    SANTA - SANAT - SATAN?

  • santa is german for saint

  • Merry Christmas RepPress, I hope to seeing more videos from you in the coming year!

    As for our conversation.... Discension is patriotic. Discent and agitate.

    Good luck RepPress!

  • representativepress... you have a very good point about civilians being killed and how terrible it is. But you are blaming the wrong side. Am I imagining something or didn't George Bush give the Taliban a chance to turn over Bin Laden? Did Bush not give Saddam the chance to vacate his country before action was taken? the answer is YES. Blame the people who are accountable and not just the ones who make you appear to be more informed than everyone else. BTW, I do enjoy most of your videos.

  • Those were demands that Bush knew they would not obey. With Saddam, he believed it was a bluff or a trap, and with the Taliban, there were too many Arabs with too many guns, and if they handed over bin Laden, then the Arabs in Afghanistan in those training camps would have caused HELL.

  • ummm how do u expect people taking u seriously if u call afghani people arabs?

  • The historical Saint Nicholas supposedly destroyed a temple of Diana, remember Saint Nicholas serves as the source of the name "Santa Claus", so do not use Santa Claus as a paragon of tolerance.

  • Killing the innocent men, women, and children in other countries does not find the guilty parties; contrary to poplular belief, saddam did not participate in 911, he is not even wanted for it by the fbi. The Bin Ladens were at the Ritz Carlton with the Carlyle investors, some were: Frank Carlucci, former roomate of Donald Rumsfeld, James Baker III former Secretary of State, remember how the Air Force whisked the Bin Ladins out of the country when no other planes were allowed to fly?

  • That's right, shame on the media elites. What's more, shame on the U.S. government and the special interests who purchased it decades ago, in order to realize corporate and Zionist agendas at the expense of the American taxpayer and the citizenry of every country infested by American military and corporate presence.

  • Merry Christmas..... but so now we were supposed to ALLOW the Taliban to hide Osama bin Laden after 9-11? 9-11 was an act of WAR, and the Taliban was harboring those who committed the act of war. You're losing your credibility in my opinion. OH and by police work, are you including the capture of Zacarias Moussaoui who COULD have been caught before 9-11 but wasn't due to the politically correct "police work" to not investigate his computer because it was not PC. you're wrong on this one

  • 9/11 was not an act of war.

    It was murder.

  • what's the difference?

  • Declaration, Intent, Mobilization, Militarization, Industrialization, Draft, Supply and Logistical Support.

    War is the power of a sovereign state to wield military ravage for political gain.

    9/11 wasn't an act of war since none of the prerequisites existed. Most importantly, Al-Quaeda is not a recognized sovereign entity.

    Pearl Harbor was an act of war. One nation declaring war based on national sovereignty.

  • okay in that definition yes. They attacked as a response to our occupations/ foreign policy. We were sort of asking for it.

  • From a standpoint of Japanese foreign/domestic affairs, the United States Government was causing the Japanese harm. An affront to national sovereignty.

    By denying mineral ore and oil, we were halting their war in China. That was a clear and present danger.

    I'm not excusing Japanese War policies. Let's be honest, they were merciless butchers.

  • Osama Bin Laden DECLARED WAR on the U.S. in his Fatwa... then he attacked the USS Cole, then bombed embassies in Africa, then attacked the Twin Towers, Pentagon and was also aiming for the White House... THAT is war in anyone's book....try to sugar coat it with your semantics if you like, but people with common sense know what it is. Afghanistan was harboring the people who did all those things. Get a grip on reality.

  • Read my post concerning sovereignty.

    Osama Bin Laden is not a member of any recognized government institution. If he had orchestrated the 9/11 attack, the Cole, or the Embassies, then it should be prosecuted as crimes committed by elements of an organized crime syndicate.

    Which, in all reality, is what Al-Qaeda is.

  • I DID read your post.... guess what ... you are wrong. If you attack a military vessel or military complex (ie The Pentagon) you're not going to be handcuffed and brought before a judge as a common criminal. There has to be a point when "enough is enough" and 9-11 was just that. You don't realize the military-style planning and logistics it took to carry out that plan. It wasn't a "hit" or a drive-by shooting. You have to face reality sometime.

  • you're not going to be handcuffed and brought before a judge as a common criminal.

    Yes you are. That's what this trial concerning KSM is about. It wasn't a "hit" or a drive-by shooting.

    Sure it was. Only it was televised and didn't involve firearms.

  • twin towers you really believe that shit come on do some research heres a figure for you 60 percent of germans think it was a inside job

  • The US has provoked many instances of war on foreign soil all over the world for decades. It has been a direct or indirect cause of civilian death that number in the hundreds of thousands if not millions. America had it coming. Yes you have a right to love your country but to be indifferent to it's atrocities mostly in the name of money makes you look naive.

  • rkc5150, I thought my video was clear, that war is not what should be used. I didn't say the US should have done nothing. My points didn't register with you? About how police work is what captured the materminds of both the 1993 and 9/11 attacks on the WTC and NOT war. Avoiding all the civilians killed. avoiding motivating more attacks. And they might even have gotten Osama if they didn't start a war.

  • Sorry, I meant support our troops, i.e. our servicemembers.

  • Great video. I have always believed that catching terrorists is police work, not the job of the military. Thanks for validating what has always been in my mind. Let's support our soldiers and do what's right. God bless America! And America bless God!

  • What about God bless the rest of the world who has to put up with the US?

    God bless the vicitims of violence and state terrorism!

  • Just trying to show some patriotic sentiment. :) I disagree with our current policies but I am not against the US. I love the US and the people of all the world and wish for all of us the best. And yes, may God also bless the rest of the world and protect from wrongful agression.

  • I agree Representative Press, this is GREAT!!! Thank you!

  • Ok, the message is clear. And it's a right message, of course.

    Unfortunately I can often just HARDLY understand your speech. Maybe subtitles would help ^^

  • Great video. Thanks, Merry Christmas.

    Listen to Santa, Stop These Wars!

  • Brilliant!!

  • More influential people need to speak up. Families I work with as counselor in nyc publc schools R 2 busy fighting their own wars of survivalpaying bills, fighting the streets, dealing with dysfunction in familial relationships. They are SPENT. Theyre against war if u ask, but they R 2 busy workng so they can keep those Jordans on their kids feet. However, reinstate the draft, & maybe theyll find a voice 4 politics. My high schoolers all say theyd rather be jailed. They would refuse to go.

  • We need more people like you to spread this very sensible message. Hate can't be ended by more hate. These wars does no one any good.

  • @pkingo1 "War is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate"-marvin gaye

    I always loved that line

  • the do do a lot of good for the banks and greedy coperations that are owned by the people who tell our governments what to do.we are the stupid ones who go and fight there wars brainwashed humans that commit war crimes because we are sheep

  • Merry Christmas

  • The mastermind behind 9/11 is free and doing very nicely.

  • KSM = Patsy

  • is it bush and his mates your talking about

  • It is a huge mistake believing that elected politicians, who's faces we always see and personas we revere or revile, are the true power. True power doesn't let itself get elected in or out, it selects. There is no substantial difference between Bush and Obama, the objectives remain the same.

  • LOL, of course Osama "got away" he is spending Christmas at the White House with Obama.

  • Yeah...I know some politicians that need some lumps of coal Santa.  I forgot Santa, you know whose been naughty.

  • Good Vid. You make some real sense. When there is money to be made in PEACE then we will finally have it. Until then... well... war profiteers are one of the last good paying jobs for Americans which actually manufacture in America.

  • @fishmole2

    there IS money to be made in peace if you think this war is about oil, but the asshole liberal nonprofits are blocking domestic drilling. btw, when did you stop the attacks on our soil? oh wait, you're one of those "insider" people.

    Contrived wannabes. Libertarians seeking Soros payouts. None of this came up until he financed the left winged media.

    Unsubscribed btw.

  • There IS money to be made in peace, but not easy money. Not honest money. And not money that those in charge of the military industrial complex can monopolise.

  • *correction: by "not honest money", I meant, "not dishonest money".

  • @dangerouslytalented,

    your Clinton sold us out to China. Phil Gramm sold us out to the banks. Obama continues to sell us out to the banks.

    Would you care to elaborate on "money made in peace"? 

    btw, why are your liberals blocking domestic drilling if this war is "for oil"?

  • Blocking domestic drilling in environmentally sensitive areas, like Alaska, where the arctic environment is (a) easily damaged and (b) more likely to cause spills.

    And doing so will INCREASE dependency on oil, when what we need is more efficient vehicles, made possible with modern technology. (you can drive clean across Europe on one tank with some European cars)

    And Clinton was NOT much of a liberal. He was as centrist as you can get.The deregulation of the last 30 years caused massive problems

  • @dangerouslytalented apparently its 1 or more of the oil companies that own the patents to the high performance batteries capable of 200 miles at 100mph (to giv u an idea). hydrogen generators < search them on here

  • @dangerouslytalented clean across europe on 1 tank?

  • They did it in the British motoring show, "top gear".

    The latest Volkswagens and other small European cars have COLLOSSAL efficiency.

  • @dangerouslytalented cool 1600 miles on a tank of fuel wow

  • And take a look at the economy during the late 40s to 70s boom. THERE the money is to be made. Not through the supply side voodoo economics of the last 30 years that simply sucks money out of the economy and puts it in the hands of speculators.

  • @therealcaptobvious It's not completely a left/right issue. It's better to save domestic oil for when the price goes much higher. People in the oil business disagree because they can get their money now and invest it for even more money in the future. They are putting their own personal wealth above the good of the nation.

  • There is also the issue of speculation.

    There is a MASSIVE amount of money to be made in speculation, simply driving up the price of vital commodities like oil because people will ALWAYS need these commodities.

    I say, get the speculators OUT of the market, and keep the prices up with a tax on fuel. Then we conserve the fuel, while still giving the incentive to buy more efficient cars.

  • @dangerouslytalented,

    no do not raise the price on fuel. That's a shitty idea, IN A RECESSION. Do you not know how bad the economy is? Less people are already driving less SUV's because their equity loans are causing them to foreclose on their primary residences.

    All you need to do is take away the tax breaks people got for buying an SUV in the 1st place. Not punish everyone else in a bad economy with high gas prices.

    Jesus you're an asshole!

  • You can thank the sheiks of the middle east for the extremely high price of fuel.

    had nothing to do with the lack of fuel or increase in demand production woes or any of that.

    We got our ass crippled simply, just to show how much power they actually have over us.

    388 billion dollars we sent to the middle east last year for oil alone.

    we've given them so much money they can crash a Ferrari for fun. lamo.

    oh but believe what you want and what the news tells you to believe.

  • That was CERTAINLY the case in the 70s, but the oil spike of a couple of years ago was the result of rampant speculation as speculators started dumping the subprime mortgage bonds.

  • Possibly not raise the price of fuel immediately, but maybe start a program of incremental fuel price increases, coupled with tax breaks on fuel efficient cars.

    What has to happen, is that petroleum must be conserved and eventually be phased out as a fuel.

    Otherwise, in ten, fifteen, twenty, thirty years time, the demand for fuel will outstrip the amount we are pumping, and we will have a collapse that will make this one seem like a stroll through a dewey meadow.

  • @biantai888,

    The prices are going to get much higher. Don't be surprised when China buys up. There's A LOT of oil in the U.S. Utah, Alaska, California, Louisiana, Texas... we shouldn't be importing it from anywhere at all.

    btw. Soros finances the left winged non-profits who are doing this, and he's got a lot of stake in Petrobias in Brazil, or stock symbol PBR.

    These non-profits hate Exxon, they work for Dr. Evil Soros.

  • Of course they are going to get higher. The light sweet crude from Texas Saudi Arabia and Iraq is not going to last forever. The heavier oils are harder and more expensive to refine, and tar sand is even more expensive.

    Couple this with intense speculation, and you are going to have a second, far bigger spike.

    Get your hatchback now.
