Many of us watched The Wacky Races a cartoon featuring Dick Dastardly and Mutley His hound. In the cartoon Dastardly always tried to find a way to cheat his way to victory usually using His dog mutley to do the dirty deeds. Mutley would always snicker at how Dastardly failed conistently but when on the mission would also snicker at those they were trying to beat by foul play. Its a funny cartoon, that really repetitive. If you’ve seen one episode you’ve seen them all. Like the cartoon the wiles of the money men and the political lap dogs is the same. The story is repetitive, the same old tricks are used. An old dog can’t perform new tricks like the saying does. Unfortunately much like the other racers in The Wacky Races, the populace are very apathetic and unwilling to kick the cheaters out. They let it happen, again and again….the circus continues…
Food prices are rocketing, inflation in many countries is rising, the dollar has lost its edge and continues to do so, Oil prices are are ridiculous and the political game continues to be a circus of madness, lies, folly and continuos evil. Osama Bin Laden released a new tape criticizing Hezbollah’s leader as well as Arab leaders. George Bush continues to advocate his peace talks with Yis’rael and Palestine, and ‘talk’ about trying to get the Saudi;s to do something about these High oil prices. Obama and Hillary continue to campaign. McCain is sparring with Obama, Edwards is for Obama and Gordon Brown is getting less and less popular. Yes politcs is a weary game that the lovers of money and ‘power’ love.
Whilst all this is happening the spectre of war with Iran and Syria still looms for Yis’rael and The US. Lebanon is still a very weak state and Hezbollah is continuing to get a larger grip of power there. Gulf Area Arabs are weary of a democrat in the White House because of the Shi’ite corridor thats formed from Iran through Iraq and up through Syria and into Lebanon. The fear is that the Shi’ite power house Iran will gain more and more influence in those areas. Something the Sunni Arabs do not want to see happening. Did we forget, Iraq is still claiming many lives and stability does not seem to be on any one’s plans, Americans and insurgents alike.
Oil hit a high of 128 dollars a barrel recently, and looks like it will continue to break records and keep rising. It has been projected that it may reach crazy heights of up to $200 dollars and up. It has been forecasted that it may reach this price by 2010. The way its going it could reach this high earlier rather than later. It has had an increase of close to 40 dollars this year alone (that is until May 18). If it continues to rise at this pace its going to reach $200 before June next year. Of course this is all speculation, which has been the driving factor to the oil getting to highs only experienced by drug pushers! Supply is not the issue here as there is an abundance of Oil. Siberia, Canada and Alaska are full of untapped oil. This so called scarcity is artificial. The focus of Supply has been targeted primarily on The Gulf States, which is just another way getting the populace, we the ‘plebs’ to accept high prices.
Here’s a thought though. Suppose The U.S. and Iran as well as Syria got into a conflict, that would no doubt disrupt oil supply in The Gulf Area as well as Iran itself. The U.S. already has its navy in the area and if a conflict were to start no doubt that fleet would get larger. That would stop traffic in the Persian Gulf as well as possibly in The Red Sea. The fraccas would not doubt cause Oil Prices to sky rocket further than has been projected, if fears and speculation about a conflict has added to the price what damage would an actual conflict cause? What would be the result of food prices and commodity prices if oil went completely bonkers?
In political circles, Berlisconni recently won the Italian P.M. elections, Obama seems to have found a friend in former pres-candidate Edwards. Its all a game to the money men putting their presidents in power and causing economic chaos around ‘the globe.’ Food prices are really getting crazy and the effect is being seen in many countries at the moment. South Africa is having a rough time with rising food prices, having to try and deal with unemployment not to mention the politics of Jacob Zuma who was accused of raping a woman. Seems infidelity is a politicians trait. From Spitzer to Zuma. Clinton to Prince Charles…
War!! Sudan and Chad are attempting to sort out their differences, a war of words has enveloped Myanmar over the aid situation. A war against time in China were many bodies are being looked for in hopes that survivors of the quake that hit last week may be found. In a show of pride and nationalism the people of China mourned their dead as a nation yesterday, something that had only been done for leaders in the past. Russia also recently had a soviet style showoff of its military, showing off their guns. No doubt focused to The E.U. and U.S. and their allies!
Like was said, The circus continues…
