I was reading Greg Palast (.com) a few days ago and he explained the link between Big Oil and crisis in the Middle East. As we simultaneously focus on devastation in Lebanon, Israel and Palestine and the rising price of oil, we dont often connect the two. Yet they are linked as a husband and wife.

Check and see where oil prices were on 10 September 2001. Notice they have roughly doubled as global demand has increased and futures traders speculate on which way the price is likely to go in the near future. Look at the record profits of the oil companies.

Which of us imagines a congressional investigation into oil profits will lower the price of oil? Yet, it is not the record profits which have Big Oil drooling. It is the new value of their oil reserves that has them wetting their pants. Their bank account. Big Oil and their Big Banking, Big Government partners intend to control the global hydrogen economy in two more decades. What do you suppose they would like to happen to the price of oil for the twenty years until then?

We are bamboozled into the supply and demand argument to get us to pay as much as we will. But did you know the major oil companies have profit sharing agreements with the major oil producers? Did you know that a corroded pipeline in Alaska raises the global price from all sources? Did you know the producers can cut supply five per cent and make the books look as though there has been no change? Do you remember Enron?

War is good for business. As Greg says, the more blood pours into the ground, the more money comes out. So just pretend the whole mess is about politics and religion and dont forget to fill up your tank before the price goes up.

Ed Howes

Ed Howes is an end time prophet and social critic who only discovered this fact three years ago. Born in 1946, he is among the first of the baby boomers who discovered there is no changing the system from within the system. The change takes place within the self. Not the self others have created but the one buried deep inside us by the time we started school.

He exhorts and counsels all with ears to hear to prepare for the impending hard times such as never occurred before on Earth and provides practical suggestions for that preparation. He sees writing on the wall most see only as graffiti. He knows that grassroots master mind alliances are necessary to drive the spiritual shift in progress and is the best way to save lives. He has just begun the networking to create these alliances and invites all to pool talents, resources and efforts.

He knows all this is happening without his lifting a finger but desires to speed things up to cut losses. Think it over, leave a comment on an article or send an Email. He believes two way - multi way communication is critical to mission. Let us daily increase in wisdom, love, gratitude, reverence, healing, peace, love, joy, happiness, laughter and prosperity - against all odds.
