Cute video there xtc. Sometimes I wish it were just that simple. Greed is a problem in this country for sure. But that is not new either, is it?

It's not interesting at all, or even unique...heard it all before. That said, I am sure it's clever to the "I Hate America" crowd...

This is a problem no doubt. All of the problems mentioned exist, but to depict our leaders as terrorists can only serve to further divide. This takes no personal responsibiliy for being part of any solution. It just serves as a diversion from responsibiliy. For those in our government who decieve the people this only plays into their hands.

You can't really bankrupt a country in Trillions of dollars of debt, can you? We've been doing that to ourselves for a couple hundred years now...

### puts on tin foil hat ###

The world makes more sense of you assume an global mercantile oligarchy.

Goals:

1. Expand trade
2. Fight communism.
3. Control Resources

All of the 'bad things going on now' essentially do that to our (western) benefit.

1. EU, NAU, AU all expand trade. (#cough# so did the Constitution over the Articles of Confederation)
2. Very complicated but... we unback our currency. We buy tons of stuff and go deeply into debt. We default and keep the stuff. It's like the entire american economy has been based off slave labor. Dollar goes to zero and the one hurt the most isn't the american people... it's china.
3. Possible conspiracy theory for the stupid gas tax holiday - China is experiencing social unrest and will have a massive influx of foreigners for a short period. Simultaniously we cut off their fuel supplies by pushing up the profit over here for oil companies. The 'price' will be the same... but the 'profit' will be much greater. Why sell there for less when wholesale is higher here and people are happy about it?

As far as Osama's plan (which I can never find a copy of... I think it was $250 a barrel at mid 90's dollar value... basically... drive up the price of gas to the point where it is no longer economical for minimum wage earners to go to work...theoretically $5 a gallon.
