Arab oil and US economy

Arab oil and the US economical crisis

In May 2007, The U.S. House of Representatives acted on what's been known for years: OPEC's price-fixing conspiracy, it voted to allow the government to sue the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries for price manipulation (OPEC), With average U.S. pump prices at an all-time, inflation-adjusted high of $3.22 a gallon, the House voted 345-72 to approve the "No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels Act of 2007," or "NOPEC.", The bill would revoke the sovereign immunity OPEC members currently enjoy from U.S. legal action and allow the Justice Department to sue them in U.S. courts.

Notorios businessman Donald Trump Blasted Oil Prices and OPEC July 30th, 2008 “Oil (costs) is what is killing the world’s economy,” Observers say if the U. S. would rattle its own domestic oil supply saber it would shock the market and costs would plummet. Oil experts say the U. S. could be free of Middle East imports in less than 3 years.

[5], it’s the price of oil that is to blame, OPEC and the Saudi Arabians [6], on Feb. 4, 2009: "As far as the economy is concerned, though, I'm afraid that if and when the economy does get going, you'll have OPEC raise its ugly head and come out and just raise oil prices again and kill it, because I think that OPEC had a lot to do with the failing of the world economy."

US president Barack Obama in his speech on February 24, 2009 said: The fact is, our economy did not fall into decline overnight. Nor did all of our problems begin when the housing market collapsed or the stock market sank. We have known for decades that our survival depends on finding new sources of energy. Yet we import more oil today than ever before. [8].

Exclusive: (ARABIAN) OPEC: A Recurring Nightmare

Exclusive: OPEC: A Recurring Nightmare Family Security Matters, NJ - Jun 23, 2008 OPEC, acronym for The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, was founded in Baghdad on September 14th, 1960, ostensibly to bargain and negotiate the sale of oil to the West by Algeria, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela….

They sound just like another commercial fraternal organization, but with the exception of Venezuela and a bizarre on again/off again romance with Ecuador, all member states are Muslim and the bulk of the oil reserves, estimated to be more than three quarters of the entire world’s, are located in the Arab Middle East….

Saudi Arabia and OPEC cohorts don't just hold us over a barrel of oil. They fund and control radicalized Middle East departments in major Universities … http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.437/pub_detail.asp

OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, is a cartel of 12 member nations, with all but one, Venezuela, a Middle Eastern country. A cartel is, according to the American Heritage Dictionary, a combination of independent business organizations formed to regulate production, pricing and marketing of goods by the members. OPEC has for the first time since its creation in 1960 been acting like a real cartel. Formerly, cartel members would ignore regulated production goals established and pump more oil. More oil meant more supply.

The larger supply would keep the price down worldwide. Now we are seeing member nations holding firm to established production goals. In other words, while everyone, including President Bush, is asking them to produce more, they are not. The cartel is working.

The concepts of supply and demand are not sexy, but they certainly apply to the price of gasoline.....
