Gasoline price conspiracy and other signs of malaise

In 2008, the man who now occupies the Oval Office said that his energy program would necessarily cause electric rates to skyrocket. He said that higher prices for gasoline were needed to reduce America's dependency on foreign oil. Now with gas prices doubling since he took office, and the American economy faltering under government expansion and a destabilizing foreign policy that has caused oil prices to exponentially increase, the Department of Energy is saying its strategy is not to lower pump prices, but rather lower dependency. This Administration's conspiracy to raise energy prices during a recession only exacerbates the pressure on Americans to make ends meet.

On February 28, Secretary of Energy Stephen Chu told Congress that current gasoline prices are not a chief policy concern. He said, "The overall goal is to decrease our dependency on oil, to build and strengthen our economy." He said, "What I'm doing since I became Secretary of Energy has been quite clear. What I have been doing is developing methods to take the pain out of high gas prices." The president refused to support the Keystone XL pipeline to open access to hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil from Canada. He is also in violation of court orders on offshore drilling as well as refusing to open access to the nation's oil and gas reserves--costing jobs and increasing pain at the pumps.

Meantime, millions upon millions of tax dollars have been spent lining the pockets of failed energy cronies of the president--can we spell Solyndra and Chevy Volt? Now he is talking about spending tens of millions on energy production from pond scum. A few weeks ago, I received a call from my electric company asking if I wanted to receive "free" light bulbs, a shower head and a multi-socket extension chord. I asked how all this was paid for. The representative said that it was required because of the new energy policy and that it was already accounted for in my bill. In other words, we were forced to at least pay for these mercury-laden poisonous fluorescent light bulbs even if we don't want them.

The price of energy impacts everything from the food we eat to the household items we need to live. The White House is trying to force Americans to accept high energy prices, and there are enemies of the public who are in concert with one another--Islam controlling the world with energy, is just one. The American Institute of Economic Research says inflation is really at least eight percent. The Federal Reserve Chairman told Congress America faces a "massive fiscal cliff of large spending cuts and tax increases." The forecast ahead is not good. America's lack of adherence to sound fiscal and moral practices has mounting consequences. In Revelation 2:5, Yeshua (Jesus) told the church of Ephesus, who had left its first love, to repent "or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent."

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
