| Gasoline crisis answer  Part 6SummaryIn our second printing, we made the prediction that artificially
    higher oil prices would result in higher prices for almost all other (if not all) consumer needs. Again, sadly, this prediction ids true. Actually , there is no mysterious or secret knowledge necessary to make this evaluation. The 1968 documentary
    entitled : "The Nation That Runs On Oil" is true. As oil prices are raised, so
    everything else must follow.  
      Home-heating costs have soared.Transportation fuel costs have soared
 These are "up-front"(visible to all) petroleum products.
 What about less visible petroleum products ?
 Let us look at one of the largest(and most profitable) industries in
    America : Medicine.  Here , we quote from the court records dates January 18, 1977, U.S.
    Circuit Court in San Diego, California  
      "Every year more than 370,000 Americans are killed by cancer.
      It is by far the most feared of the deadly diseases. Man has , with little success, been
      looking for a cure to this horrible killer for ages. Much of the research has been
      sponsored by the American Cancer Society, established long ago by the Rockefeller family
      and some of its business friends. Since they were in the petroleum and drug businesses
      they were interested in looking for a solution to the cancer threat that involved the use
      of synthetic drugs. As it happens , most synthetic drugs have a coal-tar base; that is,
      they are derivatives from petroleum. Over the past several decades the American Cancer Society has
      financed research and directed the vast majority of the cancer research In this country
      through grants. There may or may not have been something sinister in all this, but the
      point if that if you wanted money to do cancer research you were most likely to get it by
      looking in the area which involves the use of coal-tar based chemicals and assorted
      synthetic medicines."  Excerpts from the court cars of John. A. Richardsom, M.D., The
      Richardson Cancer Clinic Experience. Most synthetic drugs and vitamins are coal-tar (petroleum)  Cynics have pointed out that with the billions of dollars flowing
    into cancer research-that is , cancer research of the "right"kind-there is more
    money to be made looking for a cur e than actually finding it.  What the cynics have said about the area of "controlled"
    medical research--limiting the lions- shareof running to the petroleum industry; we too,
    have found a parallel in ENERGY research.  Having oil companies build more and more coal- hydrogenation plants
    (modeled after those already developed in others build more G.E. Westinghouse, Globe-Union
    and others build more and more electric cars; leads one to conclude: "There is more
    money to be made looking for a cure than is actually finding a cure;  The energy crisis is not an energy crisis. The crisis that is making
    the crazy quilt of new taxes, high subsides, and political manipulation in a financial
    crisis. it had its origins , not in the oil field, but in the Treasury Department and in
    the boardrooms of banks.  You research the issue, You be the judge. If your conclusion are the
    same as ours.,... then join us in doing something about it.  |
