I figured it out. Finally, all the pieces clicked together. Now, I’ll preface this by stating that it is all conjecture, and that furthermore I am not going to do the research to backup my claim. But never-the-less, I am going to state that I believe to the depths of my soul that the following theory is true, and that history is almost certain to bare this out:
As of the most recent press, pres. Bush is still pushing a tough strategy against Iran. No surprise there. Now, here’s where the theory part comes in. Gas prices where I live are around $4.50/gal. They were $3.50/gal when I moved here when I moved here 6 months ago. The first gas price spike that I can remember ever being cognizant of happened in the second summer after George W. Bush’s entry into office, 6-7 years ago. It was highly unusual, anomalous even.
Then, we all learned of the Bush families ties with Saudi Arabian oil men. If you presume that the Bush family and some of the current whitehouse cabinet still have strong ties with secret Saudis, then it all begins to make sense. The current U.S. administration, which we all suspect is corrupt, is profiting by cohesion with saudis, to mysteriously boost gas prices during the summer driving peek. It’s a brilliant scheme. and none of the analysts can pin the price hike on them. I’ve heard 10+ stories/interviews on NPR where they ask the guy the reason for high gas prices, and the best I’ve heard them come up with is market speculation during times of a week dollar. Not bad, but Arab rigging is much more likely, I’d say.
What’s this have to do with Iran? The saudis hate Iran. Saudi’s are sunni, Iranians are shia. Iran is the one major stronghold of shia in the middle-east. and guess what, in total contrast to what Bush insists on telling us at the urgings of his secret saudi benefactors, Iranian people are just like us. They value family and go to church, raise kids and battle traffic, just like us.
