Oil futures jump to record over $115 on supply concerns

NEW YORK (AP) — Crude futures rose past $115 Wednesday for the first time, propelled by concerns about how much gas will be available during the peak summer months.

In its weekly inventory report, the Energy Department’s Energy Information Administration said inventories of gas fell by 5.5 million barrels, much more than analysts surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had expected. Light, sweet crude for May delivery responded by rising as high as $115.07 on the New York Mercantile Exchange, and later was up $1.15 at $114.94 a barrel.
The report said crude inventories fell by 2.3 million barrels last week, compared to the gain analysts expected.
But the market was torn and traded sharply lower at times by data deeper in the report showing that the country’s appetite for increasingly expensive gas is declining.

We’re f---ed, I think that is a well known fact now.
April 16th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
When gas went up to $1.75/gal, I thought the goal was to immobilize America, and it is proving true.
I just didn’t know how bad it would get, and who was behind the curtain…………..
April 16th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
We are not f---ed until oil reaches $200.00 a barrel & more. It will definatley go there…just wait & see!

TXGIRL – Have a friend that has been going to Farmer auctions up in Sout Dakota. Huge Combines going for bargain basement prices. Farmers are RIPPING out their fence rows to plant more corn.
April 16th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
nearly all the Independent truckers around here have auctioned their Tractors trailer rigs and paid them off and are now on welfare.
April 16th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
$1000 + to fill up a Rig! UN FRIGGEN BELIEVABLE! We need to protest or we are going to be screwed.
April 16th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
Get ready to say “Yessis boss Bush, can I shine your shoes master”. Divide and Concore.
April 16th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
Hey, #4 Tim, would this corn be for ethanol or food? TY for the info on farm auctions, I hope the farmers don’t go under.
April 16th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Is the price of oil skyrocketing or the debasment of the dollar?
I think the price of oil with respect to gold remains the same.
April 16th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
YOU ARE RIGHT, TAKE OUT TAXES AND GAS IS 80 CENTS A GALLON IF YOU JUDGE IT BY THE PRICE OF SLIVER.
April 16th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
#9 ALejandro, you are right, inflation to the dollar agianst gold is the thing.
It’s just that we don’t have gold, and we do only have paper play money, and not nearly enough of them to offset the problem.
April 16th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Oil is the way the NEW World Order crowd uses to control us. It is used in everything we use, eat, drink, etc….
They have us by the short hairs and they plan on using oil prices to control the next step into the New World Order.
Watch for higher prices, food riots, hyper inflation and then the Greatest Depression.
We are in for a very rough ride.
April 16th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Dear friends,
The price hike of oil has just begun.
Thank You
April 16th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Face it. Stock piles of fuel will be needed from the war with Iran.
So I guess I’ll be paying over $100.00 just to fill my f---ing tank.
April 16th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Bottom line folks is this, we as a nation have been the worlds police and saviour for many years.
WE, saved Europe in WWI
WE, saved the world in WWII
WE, have kept the peace in the Middle East
WE, have been the great protector of Israel
WE, liberated and protected Kuwait from Iraq
WE, liberated Iraq and ended the reign of a terrible dictator
WE, made it possible for Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and others, to produce and sell their oil to the world in safety
WE, have been the great food provider to the world
AND NOW, IT’S TIME TO COLLECT!!!!!!!
Iraq has plenty of oil, our military men and women, over 4,000 of them and over 40,000 wounded have PAID FOR IT IN FULL, and WE, should only have to pay $50.00 per barrel for it, forever!
April 16th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
yea richard stone is right we protected europe lets take it and add it the USA and lets also destroy EU and take the middle east for our selfs and free the people there from there fascist goverment and extend the United States.
April 16th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
…Ah-bdi…These guys always look so…bdi… excited , like they…ah… are waving to schoolmaster to …bdi…go pee , cause they…ah-bdi…ah-bdi… can’t hold it no more , or somethin’ !!!
April 16th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
Reading the comment about America saving the world countless times in the world wars and in the middle east. The entire comment is biased and illinformed. Being a Canadian I can proudly say that Canada has played peacekeepers throughout the world for a longer period of time and with a less empirical dominance than the US. Unfortunately, we see far too often the US taking credit for things it really has had no impact on. For example, saving Europe in the wars was really the result of Brittian, France, and CANADA. We have to remember of all of the countries involved the United States was the last to join the effort. I love that the Americans have so much pride in their country and its accomplishments but I wish for the love of everything that is holy that they would be factually accurate when touting the triumphs of their nation and remember that no single country could have defeated anyone in Europe. As for the middle east, I think it is absolutely appauling that the policing of this part of the world can be held as a triumph of any sort. And lets not forget the number of times the US has bombed other sovereign nations since the end of the Second World War (50+ countries). Again, I am glad to see pride showing through the facts but if you’re going to tell people that Iraq owes the US anything it should be that Iraq owes the US a kick in the as as this is what the US has been giving to the people of that nation for a long period of time now.

Dan…go back to your slumber, there’s a good boy.
While the flower of youth wasted on Flanders Fields in WWI was French, Canadian, Aussie, Kiwi, Scot, and lastly English…the same cannot be said of WWII. And. as both were contrived issues, its stupid to even argue about who contributed the most. One could make the argument that those who contributed the most to the body count were alligned along very old and very familiar organizational structures.
Placing Canadian troopers under the blue beret using the same tactics is at least as sickening as any ugly American crowing about bringing peace to a region at bayonet point.
Interestingly enough, I don’t run into many ugly Canadians or Americans…just ill-educated ones.
April 16th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
Richard stone-you are a brainwashed idiot.
For starters,if it were not for France,America would be a british colony still.
WW2 was won by a coalition of allies,one of whom was Russia,who literally single handedly destroyed the German 6th army and bled the ground red with her sons’ blood at Stalingrad.
Ever since WW2,america has not been involved in 1 single war that was anything other than the extension and promotion of empire world wide.
All the while maintaining a standing army which is expressly strongly frowned upon by americas founding fathers’.
And the military people you claim bought us oil with their lives volunteered to go to war for the american empire so they could buy themselves sports cars and expensive clothes.
Honestly,when i see misguided,brainwashed and historically incorrect garbage being accepted and espoused by idiots it makes me cringe to think of all the brave men and women from many countries,not just our own,who had died fighting fascism and imperialism in ww2.
Your patriotism is misplaced my freind,for america is not the greatest country in the world,which you think deserves to have everything on a silver platter,and to think so is itself a form of national imperilism.
April 16th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
john, please explain then WHY the same people who brought U.S. into that war stole money from U.S. to rebuild all of germany with our tax dollars. Looks like we really lost that one, because it created the precedent that our money could be taken by the fed to build up any country they wished, and without our consent. It is what brought into effect the whole idea of a U.N. that would trump de facto the Constitutional Republic. As soon as we finished shedding our blood, they pushed the U.N. (league of nations), and set up shop in Israel, and the Israelis (Begin’s Fascists) started thier expansionism with the full backing of the U.S., now a U.N. partner. Our triumph over the nazis was turned into the demise of our Sovereignty, as planned. Now they point at the jewish holocaust as reason why we need to be Police of the world, to protect the interests of the U.N. instead of the interests of the Republic. Just a bit of objective thinking goes a long way.
April 16th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
on a positive note,its a little encouraging to see that all these ignorant,brainwased and wasteful consumers that call themselves americans are letting up on using gas in their giant SUVs.
April 16th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Yes…no argument there Mike. I argued only against Dan’s insipid reasoning vis a vis WWII. There is no doubt that the US and other countries were adroitly manuevered into both world wars. The enemy plans over generations. I personally side with Avro Manhattans views of it being the same old overly ambitious entity…using the same old frontmen. The cycle returns for a last gasp attempt at counter Reformation…this time writ quite large.
April 16th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
All the morons driving around in their escalades, suburbans and tough guy trucks with not so much as 1 scratch in them think they are on top of the world. They actually think that the oil producing nations (which we could be with all the oil we have here at home) are to blame for the price of gas.
Silly, brain dead, dummy morons.
April 16th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Dan, I am sorry but you sir are incorrect. Even though the United States was the last to join the second World War, Canada only had less than 500,000 military personal over in Europe during this period of time. United States had close to 11 Million. Canada really hadn’t started to build a military until 1936. They only had close to 4,000 full time soldiers and around 50,000 partially trained soldiers and was no where near prepared going into the war in 1939.
Canadians Accomplishments during WWII:
-since almost 90% of your military was Airforce and Navy, you guarded our shipping lines.
-invasion of Sicily in the summer of 1943
-and of course June 6th, D-Day where you liberated the Netherlands.
Don’t get me wrong Dan, your information probably comes from “Britain and its Commonwealths.” Which includes Britain, Canada, Austrilia, etc. Which of course together played a huge role. We are diffently greatful for your help though don’t get me wrong. But to soley say Canada played a bigger role than the US is most diffently a baised view. I am half Canadian by the way, mostly unbaised view.
April 16th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
If anybody could have defeated Nazi Germany alone it would have been Russia. But without the distraction of the two-front war, Germany would have had a much better chance against them as well.
April 16th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
Are you saying the oil-executives are NAZI’s ?
April 16th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
so gas is expensif big deal.why arnt we taking some gas out of iraq.and besides you fattys can walk for a change.
April 16th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
why dont we try to use something else for cars instead of gas?
April 16th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
SouthernGent,
Nicely said. However, a large component of the RCAF (and Canadians serving in the RAF) was involved in the bombing campaigns in Europe, the Med…and let us not forget Burma/Asia. Nor can we forget the Devils Brigade and other special units work prior to DDay (though we wish we could forget Dieppe and those who foisted it on us) and after.
It wasn’t all convoy creeping and port surveillance. ;~) Paled in significance to the US commitment…but that was well manipulated in and of itself.
April 16th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
southern gent: words of the wise form someone partly from the north. Anyway… The U.S. gets most of it’s foreign oil from CANADA!!! AND The U.S. IS the 3rd largest exorter of oil in the world!!! On the same coin however we do burn 25% of earths resources a day here in good ol’ USA with only 5% of the worlds population. So …filler er’ up!!!
April 16th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
Chalkboy – sadly you’re wrong, as Canada passed peak production of oil soon after the US. The US still gets the majority of its oil from overseas…as it is strategically sound to do so as long as possible.
April 16th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Peak oil is a fraud.
April 16th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Check out Lindsey Williams’ The Energy Non-crisis.
April 16th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Thanks. I have to admit that it feels great to know that our military is totally awesome, and that even when they are fighting for all the wrong reasons, they are “our guys”. Imagine if we aimed them for freedom and equality and prosperity! Imagine if we aimed them at the Culprits hiding behind sterile complicated sneaky banking practices! I yearn for that day. It just makes me furious to know that so few are selfishly controlling so many, and are getting away with it. For instance, if we needed to get rid of Saddam, and let the people have thier oil, why did we not leave when Saddam was hung? The dominant army there would have rallied behind their guy, and as everyone ought to know, the Iraqis are very well educated capable people. They would have it worked out by now. Then they hide the alaskan oil, and say we need to invade the mid east so gas prices won’t “skyrocket”. Then once we expose that it is a sham, they IGNORE US and blow trillions of dollars. sinking the dollar, and driving us into desperation, which is to be the new reason why we need to invade more countries. “Now all we have IS our military, so let’s crank it up!” What a jip.
April 16th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
IT IS MUCH TO THE KINGDOMS DISAMY THAT YOU GREEDY AMERIKANS NEED TO PAY SUCH HIGH PRICE FOR THE OIL YOU DRINK LIKE THE WATER FROM MIRAGE….MY SEVEN WIFES ALL NEED OF THE BOOBAGE JOBS AND MY 28 SONS NEED OF THE BRACES AND NEW MERCEDES ,MY 18 DUAGHTERS ARE OF THE NEED OF BEUATYIFICATION CLASSES SO I CAN HAVE THEM TO BE MARRIED TO MY SHIEK FREINDS SONS..SO JUST BE QUIET AND PAY AS YOU ALWAYS HAB.
ALLAH BE WITH YOU IN YOUR POCKET
April 16th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
If you say so. I’ll believe Hubbert and those who were speaking plainly long before the issue ever came to much public light.
April 16th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
In the earley 70’s the world’s largest oil field was found in Alaska but the companies drilling didn’t want that info to get out. Because they started the peak oil fraud to raise prices.
April 16th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
If the world found out that the largest pot of Texas tea was found then they couldn’t say we were about to run out. Forty years ago.
April 16th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Mike…imagine if you did not aim them at all. ‘They’ are not an offensive weapon. Enforce the Rule of Law…and let the order civil take care of those who believed themselves above it.
April 16th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
No TxFlip. The reserves are held in that state (alaskan and/or natural) because of the energy cost of lifting/refining/marketing is still more expensive than in other areas of the world. Once that tiping point is reached, the shackles will come off those last pockets. Don’t be too eager to see that day come.
April 16th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
AMERICA AND AMERICANS HAVE NO FREEDOM AND ARE CONTROLLED BY SELFISH AND RICH PEOPLE AND MORE IS YET TO COME FROM THE NEW WORLD ORDER.
April 16th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
They already started pumping that oil years ago. Go to youtube and search Lindsey Williams the Energy Non-crisis. Watch that and you will see.
April 16th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
Very true, they are our number one importer of oil. I have said nothing bad about Canada. I love Canada, I visit often. For my fellow Canadians I will praise you for a short moment.
-Love your healthcare system
-Love your bacon
-Love your alcohol laws and how your police handle them
-Love the fact that a lot of Canadians know more about American history than actual Americans.
I am done for now. Don’t think I was bashing CA in any way, I was just justifying the fact that CA had a weak military in WWII but it is impossible to say a country played the “biggest role.” Outcomes and scenarios would have been different without any one of the countries.
April 16th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Oil is also a obsolete fuel source, we have had the technology to “burn” water and use it and it alone in vehicles.
April 16th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
But of course the oil companies and the elite that make trilliaons of it wants that hush hush.
April 16th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
LoL Southern Gent…age of consent ‘good’…gov’t monopoly and taxation level of ‘proof’ BAD. hahaha
And don’t be too quick to laud the healthcare system..it is just as broken (if not more so) than the Brits.
April 16th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Agree with you on the water as energy issue and other ‘purchased’ patents, TxFlip.
Just don’t agree on oil. Dovetailing of ‘coveted properties’ with specops troops and others making problems puts the lie to the contention that there is more than enough to go around.
April 16th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
For the love of god go watch the man’s speech about it.
April 16th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
he was there, he saw everything with his own eyes.
April 16th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
A point to ponder…during the popping of the Asian stock bubble, the amount of Japanese yen in circulation was trippled. Now, the US dollar (M3) numbers are secret for what reason? And what would a trippling of US Dollars do to commodity prices overall?
Its not the fault of speculators that prices are increasing so rapidly. No smoke without fire.
Another point to ponder if the overall markets go up from here…if real inflation is increasing faster than the markets…will you ever make enough headway to retire?
April 16th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
TxFlip…I have people on the ground, in the industry. As I said…we disagree. Lots of that going around these days.
April 16th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
It would be easier to get a plot of land and grow your own food.

Oh John. Americans spend twice as much on private healthcare than Canadians do on public healthcare. Well known fact, American healthcare is the most expensive in the World.
Life Expectancy:
United States: 76-77
Canada: 80-81
Per Capita spending on Healthcare:
United States: Around $6,000
Canada: Around $3000
Per 1000 births in infant mortality:
United States: 7
Canada: between 4 and 5
Income Tax on my Salery:
US: 15-20%
Canada: 15%
Sales Tax in my area and where my family lives:
US: 6-7%
Canada: 13%
Spending half my Salery on income tax and health insurance: Priceless
April 16th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
lol…soon enough. and we don’t even run out…we just hit the point of energy sink.
April 16th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
SouthernGent,
True enough…because you’ve allowed a bastardization of your system under the rubric of PPo’s and the like.
There is much hidden cost and multiple layers of taxation in Canada that do not exist in the states…and your cost per unit on most items, even before tax, is far lower than Canadians.
Count your blessings and get your doctors to put the insurance co’s intheir place. You don’t want socialized medicine…ah’m jus sayin’ is all.
April 16th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
That fella Lindsey has is one of those guys that had a life like Forrest Gump. He has witnessed some key events in history, But Lindsey’s events are of the power elite’s plans of action for society. Another great book of his is Syndrom of Control.
April 16th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
Look at all these panicked, frantic people. It is so ridiculous to witness the fear generated from this “society” breaking apart into EVEN MORE splintered groups of clueless morons. If you are living in America, you are probably going to destroy yourselves with FEAR OF TERROR.

Peak OIL 2010 – 2013 Prepare for the Worst
April 16th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
They decide what the oil price is gonna be anyway. Nothing that can be done about this other than not use oil or maybe the fake terrorists had something to do with it. Sigh.
April 16th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
Peak Oil is a fraud. The US has more on reserve than any nation on the planet. Not to mention that there are more proven reserves in the ground on the north american continent than in all of the middle east. But in no way am i saying that gas and other consumables are going to get cheaper. Actually, quite the opposite is true. stock up now.
April 16th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
when they pulled this energy shortage nonsense back in the late 70s their was a farmer i believe he was from northern michigan that was breaking down tires and refining it into gasoline.it was 105 octane he was selling it to his neighbors for 15 cents a gallon.there were 3 articles about it in the detroit news then nothing and the price still went up.then about 6 years ago there was a guy out in oklahoma that was taking waste oil and refining it into gasoline.and as usual no more about him either.when it hits 5.00 a gallon then things should come to a screeching halt.then the final part of there new world order will be in place.but they still have one big thorn in there ass.and that is we still have our guns.
April 16th, 2008 at 5:58 pm
The appetitie of all americans in regard to high fuel cost is declining, but just like gasoline is just like taxes you don’t like them but you have to pay them. Fuel will stay up for a number of reasons, one is that China if you haven’t heard is rationing fuel. Countries can’t keep up with the demand from China and India, who’s population together takes up at least half of the planet. So when you have high demand that isn’t getting serviced, you have higher prices and rationing. Two, is that Americans for such a long time hasve enjoyed low gas. And due to this and political pressure there hasn’t been a push for bullet trains, efficient public transport etc.. So with everything and everybody spread out you need to either own a vehicle and/or ride in one to get where you need to go. And guess what that cost money because we still need gasoline for our vehicles. And the last one is that compared to other currencies, oil and fuel isn’t going up nearly as fast. And thats because our dollar is being devalued. We have rising inflation (especially food) in the US which is 180 to what the official numbers for inflation are (if they would print the real numbers many govt. checks would have to be adjusted also the cost of living of many people).
Countries that are pegged to dollar assets are showing real inflation even if we are blind to it. There are food riots and such because food is increasing by leap and bounds, because we have pushed REAL inflation off to the rest of the world because of the dollar peg. We have it here also but they are doing everything they can to mask it or obfuscate the reporting of it. So don’t see oil crashing down under 100 anytime soon. With the dollar at almost 1.60 a euro, if it breaks this wall that PPT (plunge protection team) has been fighting to stop you will see oil shoot up to 120 to 125 by May 1st.
And heres something to consider, much of the gulf and other oil producing countries want to break away from selling their oil in dollars because of inflation in their countries because of the devalued dollar. It may seem like they are reaping a windfall because of the high cost of a barrel of oil, but it comes to a point that prices reach where the sellers start to look at the money (US greenback) as funny money. Yea you can theoretically have oil at 1,000 dollars, it doesn’t mean that it’s worth 1,000 dollars it means that your dollars are worth 999 dollars less than the rest of the currencies on the planet.
Hyperinflation.
April 16th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
We haven’t pushed real inflation off on the rest of the world…because the dollars are coming home instead of staying overseas. Most countries are divesting from USD’s slowly, regardless of the latest flury of buying by some of the same old central banksters. The magic checkbook is starting to be cashed…
The debt bombs we were hoping to plant on our competitors in the form of CDO’s and other derivatives have largely blown up in our regional banks faces…with the central banksters laughing because they win either way.
Attacks on all the pillars of the society continue…financial, spiritual, rule of law, military. Gotta admire the planning…and the size and numbers of monkey wrenches soon to be hurled by the populace. If you’re gonna be hungry, be hungry and satisfied that you are taking action.
April 16th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
well 1 thing nobody realizes is that you can run your car an houes on hydrogine eather by hybrid or by direct fuel inject say by by OPEC an the power grid.
other then that we are fu*ked on race day
April 16th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Look for the price of oil to stay between $110 and $120 per barrel except for around late September and October before the election. Some of the powerful neocons who are in bed with big oil people (often one and the same) will push some buttons and cause the price of oil to come down to around $90.00 per barrel and make everybody think they are getting a bargain! This will be to help boost McCain’s chances as Bush will be credited with helping bringing down the price of fuel. But shortly and I mean shortly after the election, watch the cost will return to its current well over $100.00 per barrel. It’s called manipulation. Bill
April 16th, 2008 at 6:39 pm
Sure Bill, they always loosen the spigot of the strategic reserve around election time…oldest play in the book. And agreed on oil price…last time I checked a P&F chart it related a near term top around $124. And then you always have the inevitable pipeline issue or refinery fire…
April 16th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
Recently I’ve been wondering about the manipulated american dollar crash and the subsequent rise in oil…the possibility of the creation of a dual use currency has become more and more real. the newer colored funny money 5’s and 20’s appear to me to be the beginning of a dual use dual tier currency. ie. the funny money will at some point in time be denoted a certain value and will be the only currency eligible to be used overseas and the traditional greenback will have a reduced value and will only be used domestically. This really became real to me today because my wife was in a discount type store and in the store there was a sign that they would only accept the new colorized cash. weird. then I found out that the owner of the store was ukranian or russian…then I thought they lived through Russia having the same type of dual tier system when the soviet Union fell…they created two different Rubles of two different values…one domestic and one for external use. Just a thought.
April 16th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
have we fogot about the 1970s there are movies (bad ones ) about the gas running out and the new ice age coming ….look for it on the web …its the same song

Have we fogot about the 1970s? No. My parents were…partly awake. Enough to introduce me to God and belief in him. But very much asleep , as in ‘Everything’s fine. Life is life. It’s just like that sometimes!’. I don’t blame them. People have tried to awakes us for years. But they usually got killed , or were ridiculed and expelled as an outcast ‘Conpiracy Theorist’. Turn of all electronics in the house. Find a silent corner. Meditate. Remind yourself you are as attached to earth and all Gods creation as any animal , reptile , or insect. Feel nature. You should find…after awhile of pondering this , that , like deer in October or geese in the day , something’s up. You’re hair is slightly raised on the back of your neck. Think of Hazel in Watership Down! Something black…choking is coming. You can FEEL it. And them…the Luciferians! The sheeple could continue and sleep for awhile if permitted. But the Luciferians , they have an appointment it would seem with 2012, mabye 2016 , but much more the first. If your insides can’t pick up on it , your life’s about to. When you can’t afford gas for your car. When you have to fight for a box of Kraft Dinner at $10 with your neighbor at the store. Cutting every luxery and necessity and still not making it. THIS IS NO MOVIE.

Oil is going up because war in the Middle East is at hand.
April 16th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
Oil goes up because of inflation.
Inflation happens because our fed banksters keep printing money like there’s no tomorrow, stealing it from us (the people).
Expect the price of oil to keep rising as long as we have an out of control federal reserve in control of OUR money.
April 17th, 2008 at 2:16 am
Kevin is spot on. Also if we stopped allowing the cheating that goes on in the futures markets in the form of the “fear of war” premium tacked onto the trades or other practices, we’d lower the price some.

I wonder if those scum bag traders in NY still have the 2 cells phones in their left and right pockets that when one rings it’s a buy signal or the other one is a sell? Talking about bag men … lol
Or if they still send orders out from the desk that don’t have an account number on it until the order is filled and is known “winner” or “loser”. The futures market is a scam where most people lose their shirts. Some make huge gains, but they most likely aren’t doing it legally.
I wonder how you know who turned $1000.00 into $100,000.00 in the cattle years ago. Just an urban legend I guess …… see if you can do that.
April 17th, 2008 at 3:38 am
I’m wondering if this is the real reason for higher oil prices, knowing the fact traders can up the price just by demand ?
April 17th, 2008 at 3:40 am
http://911essentials.com reminds you that the only real power you still have is with your wallet and your vote, if it’s a hand counted paper ballot, counted in public.
If you can use less gas, do it. If you can boycott the products that the subsidiaries of these parent companies, do it.
And as far as voting goes … stop voting for these incumbents and party hacks that allow these oil companies and the taxes levied on their products. Vote out of office ALL incumbents and start with new people.
If they don’t do exactly as we tell them, they’re gone next election. It’s the only solution we have, short of revolution … and that is a no winner that will create exactly the excuse they want to put all of us in their camps.

MARK ((#83)) SAID IT BEST !!
If we can somehow inform the public or demonstrate to prevent sales to EXXON-MOBIL & other Middle Eastern fuel brands we can make them drop their pants , but almost 80% of the US Public would need to participate, One day of no-gas sales or 80% less sales would send the prices way down ,,, than again, i watch this OHIO inventer running machines on SALT WATER !!!! This is true, he ran it on salt water !!!
Google it yourself, this is really a tremendous discovery ,, now that they explained how this inventor did it ,,the NWO may let him live !!!!
April 17th, 2008 at 5:26 am
Is it time for fuel boycotts or what? How long are the American people willing to let the unchecked powers of the Corporate Aristocracy to rob our wealth and civil liberties. This is going to start with the truckers. Bush’s legislature killed overtime years ago, now they’re going for the killing blow. We need to stand together, class warfare is a very real possibility. f--- the elite, I’m ready. A couple of hundred thousand versus millions. We got the guns and the power, everything else is just propaganda. They are vulnerable hence their silence.

GAS PRICES ARE GOING THROUGH THE ROOF BUT IT ISNT STOPPING THE WASTEFUL MATERIALISTIC AMERICAN FROM GOING OUT AND PURCHASING FORDS NEWEST AIRCRAFT CARRIER TRUCK TO DRIVE AROUND IN.I CANT WAIT FOR THE DAY I START SEEING THOSE VERY SAME TRUCKS ABANDONED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE GAS IS $6 A GALLON AND THESE PEOPLE JUST SIMPLY CANT AFFORD TO PUT GAS IN IT ANYMORE, ITS EITHER PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE OR GAS UP THE UNNECESSARY AIRCRAFT CARRIER JUST TO SIMPLY IMPRESS OTHER MATERIALISTIC AMERICANS.WAKE-UP SILLY AMERICANS THIS WHOLE MATERIALISTIC WORLD THAT YOU ARE SO STUCK AND OBSESSED WITH IS COMING TO AN END.
YOU SHOULD CONCERN YOURSELF WITH HOW YOU ARE GOING TO FEED YOUR FAMILIES AND WITH WHAT MONEY WILL YOU PAY FOR IT WHEN THE DOLLAR COMPLETELY COLLAPSES AND BECOMES WORTHLESS PAPER BECAUSE IT IS A FIAT CURRENCY NOT BACKED BY GOLD.
FORGET ABOUT IMPRESSING YOUR NEIGHBORS YOU SHALLOW AMERICANS.
April 17th, 2008 at 6:01 am
heard RICH, they are abandoning those fancy gas hogs. Maybe not along the highway, but they sure as hell have a for sale by owner hanging in their back window. Commodities will still be traded. Food and clothes don’t need to be backed by any currency. Back to bartering, like kids at the cafeteria. Maybe we’ll pull together….maybe?
April 17th, 2008 at 6:02 am
Higher fuel costs are to starve the American people down to a Third world economy thanks to the filthy powerfull who want us to work for nothing an be glad for it since other people in the world do.Otherwise autos and trucks would get 80mi.to a gal. or even 100mi.to a gal its was done before in the seventies with research in to carburation refinements but those ideas where qwickly bought up by the auto industry an file thirteened (trashed) and why?Are they also benifiting from higher oil prices its obviously a no brainer that they are in bed with the oil companies.
April 17th, 2008 at 6:44 am
…Ah-bdi…You can actually go faster with a…bdi… horse , on the long run , if you…bdi… take into account the TIME…ah-bdi… factor !!! . We spend so much time to get the money for…bdi…bdi… cars , gasoline ,…bdi… insurrance , tickets , parking etc… and…bdi… money = time !!!
April 17th, 2008 at 6:50 am
The problem in America is not the rich alone, but we all make up a part of this country. And we are all responsible for the collapse of this once great nation. We as Americans have been lazy, envious, down right selfish! When was the last time any of us spent our money on someone elses needs rather than ourselves? Sure, you give a little here and there, but if you are honest, you live only for self. Worldliness is a disease in America. We have had to much for to long and now its time to suffer. God help us. For we are going into an age we have not known, and most will not know what to do.

save this map to your favorites and check it often you can predict oil prices with it

Reply to Texasshydog: I’m not a dumb ass school teacher, but it’s divide and conquer. The root word is conquest. I agree with your point too. The fuc___ establishment already knows how they will react if public outrage hits a fever pitch. Maybe Washington will lower the taxes–toss the consumer a few nickles to show how compassionate our politicians are. Later the anouncement will arrive that lower taxes on fuel requires cutting aid to families with children or human charities.

ONLY 3 WORDS FOR ALL OF YOU’s…… “NEW WORLD ORDER”
April 18th, 2008 at 6:56 am
Its quite simple to be honest… The current economic crisis spurred on by oil will create more extreme measures, as we saw in the 1930’s with Nazi Germany. In times of hardship, people easily give up their liberties, free of will, in a hope of getting out of their troubles. With China increasingly using more fossil fuels and oil i think the USA and NATO might find a new enemy on its plate.
Watch this space, for i predict within the next 20 years, China and Iran are the next targets, just like Iraq was and the whole global warming crisis is a gimmick to secure the USA’s power in the energy circuit and further push world domination!

Is this Peak Oil?
April 18th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
The world is drowning in OIL. They also control how much is cracked. They won’t build more facilitys because it would reduce the price of it. The Earth creates OIL, it is the earths blood, and the ultimate renewable energy source. We are driving less than ever, and they have made less gasoline. We either take control over the OIL industry, and all the production in between, or we keep hearing this kind of BS that we have no fuel. Remember people, the price at the pump has not risen since OIL per barrel was at 70 usd. It is now near 120 usd. Who is keeping it down ? After the elections the price will rise at the pump to about 5 usd to reflect the increase in crude. Then Food will come up also. So WAKE UP BEFORE THAT HAPPENS, and make a stink now while we can.

The economy issues are insane and are rapidly getting worse by the minute. As I sit here finishing my 700 page book about Thomas Jefferson, I am realizing that we have come full circle. One of the main reasons America decided to declare independence is because of the ridiculous taxes, which were imposed on the American people by King George III. Taxes literally on everything, so much so, the American people had a hard time living and so they decided to fight back, which ended in the Declaration of Independence. Now we are headed full circle, I just hope the American people wake up and see what are forefathers saw and declare freedom as we did once before.
April 18th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
You have a point Mark, I wrote some time ago about dual currency in the US and the different colored 5 and 10’s. I believe when the meltdown comes, there will be a dual currency in america. One that will be used for international trade and another for internal use and only for America, Mexico and Canada. And mark for you telling us about the store owner only accepting the colored money, tells me that he may no something that many in the US don’t. Imagine getting paid and using the old greenbacks in the US only, it would be like using foodstamps because you can’t use it for anything else but things the US say you can buy with it. The international money will be used for trade and purchases outside the US, and they may or may not make it illegal for americans to hold international currency.

Do not click on the links provided by other posters unless your sure of where the link takes you. The BAS guy posted a link to some muslim information news website. Do know that the newest threat is Western Terrorists and if your checking out muslim websites you are more likely to get targeted/marked as such even if you are not. It could be very possible that people are infiltrating this website for the sole purpose of posting those links to target/mark you.

So, does this mean gas is going up another dollar.
April 19th, 2008 at 12:37 am
If those in power are really planning to imprison everyone, don’t expect America to be allowed to plunge into third world status. In a bloated, luxury-oriented society like this, suddenly pulling the plug on this artificially created wealth would be one hell of a bad move by the establishment… They’d find themselves facing a nation full of angry, disillusioned people, and then there would likely be an uprising. No, it would be in their best interest to coddle the people and make them feel like everything’s just fine and that they can continue living dull, comfortable lives. It’s a strategy which has worked well for them so far, and the United States is undoubtedly one of their most important investments.
April 19th, 2008 at 8:47 am
No matter how short they say the supply is,we never have to do without it seems.Are we really running short?And no matter how high the price goes we still have to buy it.So how does raising the price fix a supposed shortage?My brain hurts….
April 19th, 2008 at 11:33 am
hey i figured it out, see we americans are fat and lazy and the govment is concerned, so they raisin da gas price, so us fat lazy peoples cant affords it and forcin us alls to walk and exercise, so we all can be in shape to be cannon fodder fo them thar pesky tearorist
April 19th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
the fear for the dollar is petro currencies going off the dollar. when this happens it is game over. bernanke said it would not affect the dollar, after that any thing he says is null and void. i do believe saudi oil has peaked. they knew it six years ago. so iraq, iran, the who knows, maybe saudi arabia to get what is left.
April 20th, 2008 at 4:50 am
Holy smokes, and expect 200-300+ dollar a barrel overnight if they bomb Iran…Last year it was predicted this summer would be bad, looks like that is coming true…and with the dollar quickly becoming green toilet paper, the future is becoming grim…..I hope everyone is waking up to the true evil design that nears us…..
April 20th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
After the Election, no matter who they Diebold in, prices at the pump will average over 5.00 Reserve Notes. Our History is a total LIE, and World history is a Total LIE. We are SLAVES/SERFS as we have always been. Hell if they would not have STOLE our Social Security money back in 1965 we could all live off those investments. If we had the same rights as CORPORATIONS we would cruise along in this HELL HOLE ECONOMY. Corporations are TREATED AS PEOPLE under the U.C.C law. Our labor in the form of WAGES are TREATED AS INCOME. IF WE COULD DEDUCT FROM BEING TAXED, our FOOD, FUEL, HOUSING, CLOTHES, EXPENSES, AND EVERYTHING ELSE WE NEED TO SELL OUR LABOR, we would be ok. When will we wake up ?
April 20th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
Only a VENTURA/JONES presidential ticket can save us now.
Please email A.J., or the Watson twins, and suggest it.
April 21st, 2008 at 12:05 am
Demand is dropping for only one reason, there are lots of people who can no longer even afford gas!
April 23rd, 2008 at 9:08 pm
If I remember correctly when GW Bush took office gas was around $ 1.45 a gallon.Now its almost 4.00 But what did we expect, He has an OIL backround. I was taking bets when he was elected. I was betting that oil would reach an all time high and that those connected to him and his daddy would benefit greatly. Well I won but no one has the money to payoff.
