Getting gassed used to mean you were drunk and supposedly having fun. Getting gassed these days means a mortgage on your house or possibly selling your first born into slavery to pay for a fill-up. They promise it will get worse. Let’s take a look at some of the factors adding to this problem.

Factor one is the immense profits made from both natural gas and oil. On top of those profits are the subsidies our government has handed out to them for several decades that make people like Rockefeller very rich. Of course, it’s not rich enough for the Rockefellers and others of their ilk.

Factor two is that the supply of easily pumped oil is getting rare. So, that’s why we go to war and blow up oil fields, tankers full of the stuff, and processing facilities. Good times.

Factor three is the environment. Some of us are convinced that the use of internal combustion machines is altering our climate to make it eventually warm enough to fry us all. Those same people jet around the planet in jumbo jets and have fleets of collectable cars as well as several homes in different countries. They also own many of the leaders of several key countries and have steak and lobster for dinner on a regular basis while at the same time telling us we should stop eating meat. Chew on that!

Factor four is war itself. War takes a lot of energy. You need gas and diesel for cars and trucks, ships and boats, planes and helicopters. Not just a few, thousands of each and there is also the energy to make them and keep them supplied with both fuel and munitions. Of course, blowing up stuff also heats the planet, but we won’t worry about that little detail when they tell us to stop driving, will we? More war!

Now let’s take a short look at recent history we are supposed to forget. First, we were told that the globe is warming and CO2 was the reason. Then they said we had to get rid of gas heating and cooking stoves and water heaters. Then our own country was responsible for blowing up the gas pipeline to Europe because, a, well, because Russians. Then Europe started freezing and bought a lot of our natural gas at high prices because it had to be compressed and sent by ship and there was a shortage. Next, the natural gas prices in the US shot up sky high because we sold our gas to Europe. We won’t mention the billions if not trillions of cubic feet of methane from the pipeline explosion going into the atmosphere where it warms the earth ten times as much as CO2. The increase of profits takes care of that.

Now we are facing an oil shortage. In response, they are blowing up oil fields, refineries, and tankers full of oil and using all that oil they need for their war machine in a war that didn’t need to happen. Oh my gosh! Oil is not really short here yet so the price of gasoline and diesel goes up over a dollar a gallon before the shortage even hits. The price is guaranteed to go up even more, perhaps doubling what we paid a short time ago. And why is that? Well, we don’t get our oil from the Straits of Hormuz, but since we attacked Iran and the Straits of Hormuz have been closed, we’re selling our oil to the countries who cannot get their oil from that area. That, of course, leads to a pinch on the supply at home and the price goes up in response. Does this sound familiar? Isn’t that what happened with the Nordstrom pipeline we blew up? Are you awake yet?

Have another cup of coffee.

Oh, yeah. I forgot that we kidnapped the leader of Venezuela and took over the country to get control of its oil and who are we selling the oil we need to keep prices down to? China, our supposed enemy who makes all the stuff you buy.

Let me recap this for you. The CO2 plants need to make oxygen is warming the world to boiling. You need to stop using gas appliances, driving, taking planes, eating meat and breathing heavy to stop it. Meanwhile, those telling us what to do are jetting around the planet, starting wars, blowing up pipelines, having steak and lobster for dinner and devaluing our money while they pile up more and more wealth. Did I forget to mention that all this crap is taking the Epstein Files out of the limelight? Yes, those files that show many in our government and those who bought them are involved in pedophilia and the torture and murder of children. You OK with being hornswoggled like that?

I’m through here. I think I’ll go get gassed.
