ROME (Reuters) - The global market is "full of oil" and rising crude prices are being artificially driven by forces trying to further their geopolitical aims, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday.
"While the growth of consumption is lower than that of production and the market is full of oil, prices continue to rise and this situation is completely manipulated," Ahmadinejad said in his address to a U.N. food summit in Rome.
Without naming countries, the Iranian leader said "hidden and unhidden hands are at work to control the prices mendaciously to pursue their political and economic aims."
He said the goal of "powerful and international capitalists" was to keep the price of oil and energy "artificially high" in part to justify new explorations in the North Pole and the deep seas.
In an apparent reference to the United States, he said the international community should have a mechanism to force "the bullying powers to resort to peace and amity instead of occupation and warmongering...."
You guys have been getting all "wishy-washy", "touchy-feely" and "ephemeral" lately...
So...
I thought a little dose of Real-World Political Manipulation might bring you all back to your senses.
I mean, speculators at work, buying oil futures and so on. After the Dot Net bubble, we had the Real Estate bubble, which is really a credit bubble, and now we are seeing a commodities bubble. Gas & food.
You figure "capitalism" is really about supply & demand?
And, We've been saying it since BushCo began their bloody little Wars.
...the goal of "powerful and international capitalists" was to keep the price of oil and energy "artificially high"
in part to justify new explorations in the North Pole and the deep seas.
Notice that little phrase..."in part"?
Yeah, and the Other "part"...
-- is to justify their bloody little Wars!
Do you remember the BushCovites being all confused about how these Wars could possibly be about OIL...
-- When the price kept going... UP?
They thought the idea was to Conquer the Oil-Rich Nations...
-- So loyal BushCovites would have access to "CHEAP" Oil.
And, they wouldn't listen when we told them...
-- No... That wasn't the idea at all.
We told them the idea was...
To Control The Oil...
To Control the Price...
To Make the Rich... Richer.
We told them to pay attention to the record breaking profits...
Being registered by the Oil Conglomerates.
Yes...
We told them...
But...
They wouldn't listen.
Even when a Bush supporter tells them that those he lovingly calls "Bush bashers" are correct in what they say, they will not listen.
I know not why they do not understand reality...nowell...Bush lied, people died...why is that so hard for them to understand...people are weird sometimes.
