Conspiracy Theorists

I've been thinking a lot about the government bullshit lately. Everyone on the internet won't stop talking like it's a grand conspiracy freak out all over the globe. Bildaberg and the Illuminati and Nafta and the Amerio. It's all nonsense. The Greatest Conspiracy ever hatched was the idea that there is a Great Conspiracy. What better to occupy the minds of dissenters and intelligent folks who aren't fooled by the mask of government amicability than a Tale Tale ripe with misinformation?

But, no, there's no grand over-arcing plan set in place by the ancestors of George Bush back in the 1200's.
It's just business as usual. It's greed and the special kind of arrogance that comes from getting away with murder.
What we've had here in the USA is an 8-year long ROBBERY.
An elaborate smash and grab.
They don't want to take over the world, they don't even want to run the country.
Because even in a totalitary government, even if you don't care about the people, you have to keep them fed and happy and surveiled. They don't GIVE A SHIT.
They just want the money.
And then they're gone.
Like burglers in the night.

All these laws, they aren't to limit our personal freedom as much as they are to keep us OUT OF THEIR WAY
while they do whatever they want, raping and pilaging up and down the countryside flying flags of "liberty".

That's the only control they need. Shutting us up. Keeping us dumb with inadequate school systems and reality television and lowered expectations. It's a grand act of misdirection.
"Look over here! War! Secret Government! Aliens! Nazis on the moon back in 1928!"
Meanwhile they just lifted your wallet.

Oil

Oil gets a neckpunch because he's a liar and a thief.

Demand goes up, prices go up. Demand goes down, prices go up. They just discovered Unlimited Oil on the moon, price goes up. There is no law of supply and demand in effect here - no law at ALL, really. It's a "Fuck the Little Guy Free-For-All" and we all LOSE. The only thing affecting Prices at the Pump is some mathematical threshold that Oil Companies continue to push - the formula of "Ass Raping vs. Economic Viability". The Stick their cocks in as deep as they can before the Consumer starts to feel a bit of tightening and some pain - "Ow! Too much, Oil! Too much!" But now we've been primed, they can pump us a little deeper. Deeper each time until we'll bleed. Bam! There's Gold in this here bumhole! Black Gold!
