BF2S Forums The biggest scam of all time

I'm not sure this actually constitutes as a "scam" in the formal sense, but it is an interesting bit of information.

80 football fields does seem a bit like overkill for one building...

And the funding actually comes from the State Department, not Homeland Security, but I thought you guys would get a kick out of it

Our oil companies do not control the cost per barrel of oil. Please research this. They make money on the refining and distribution of oil. OPEC is who you need to talk to with regards to middle eastern oil exports.

True but while they do not control it, they can influence it, if they decide to withhold a few million barrels the price may go up a few cents, they hold back a few billion, well you see what can happen.

My entire family is in the oil trade and we all know enough to get us by, but the worlds oil market is far to complex to even begin to describe, surfice it to say that oil companies have their hands in more than you might imagine, and they have control over alot more than what just the stuff that goes into your cars and into your homes.

If oil companies where in the business of withholding oil I don't think they would be drilling all over the Gulf of Mexico.

You do know that america stores more than 30% of the worlds crude stocks?

The oil argument is by far the stupidest. Only people who have zero comprehension of how the oil market works states something as idiotic as that. If it was about oil why did we leave after the first gulf war ? Do you have any idea who dictates the price of oil?

The rest of the stuff I'll listen to.

This forum seems to be getting smarter all the time

I'm leaning towards accepting Marconius's call for civil war.

I'd enlist. Or apply for OTS, at least.

I get in a few good ones from time to time.  Glad to be appreciated.  ;-)

Where is the accountability for all this money.
Who is getting rich.
Where is my rope and a strong tree so we can hang these fuckers that are ruining this nation.


Please refrain from spewing conspriacy nonsense about 9-11
What i want to know is, where is it going, and why so much.

If you're blaming Bush here is a news flash ; Clinton sucked ex. the unemployment rate was at 5.5 in the 90s and the media says "Oh the unemployment rate was great!", now Bush is president with a 4 something unemployment and here is what they say "The unemployment rate is bad and we need to fix it." Notice you people, the media brainwashes people.

While Ground Zero is still without any progress nor memorial statue, Bush, you are the man !
Oh and when am I going to pay a normal fucking price for my gas again?

I can tell you don't know me so I'll explain;
I voted for bush twice. I am a loyal supporter of the U.S. military. I run a small business and have seen with me own eyes grotesge scams, payoffs and kick back schemes. Money laundering by government employees evidenced by cash payments for everything they buy.
     I wanted the police officers and FBI agents in the Waco debacle shot. I think we should build a fence along the Mexican border and resurect the Sedition Act.
     Clinton was a disgrace to America and a sorry ass excuse for a Commander in Chief.

     Bush has outspent all but the wildest fantasies of the most extreme social liberals. He has made a poor case that Iraq  was the right thing to do and we are the big cat on the block simply by tollerating Irans interference. I think the lack of border security rises to a crime level worthy of capital punishment. 

     I found our Jets being used in Kosovo to kill civilians with U.N. flags painted on was also a very serious offense.
     I'm honestly asking everybody to whom shall I direct this anger?

     It's much bigger than Bush its a culture of corruption.
     I couldn't have voted for Kerry, a posistionally challenged war protester during a time of war? pfft.
     I actually liked Clinton until Waco and Kosovo and China and Monica and lying under oath, and Somolia and Hillary being considered a legitimate candidate for president.

Once again someone who has no idea how the price of gas is dictated. Price increases generally occur when the world crude-oil market tightens and lowers inventories. Usually due to OPEC's control.

Em my family are'nt in the oil business like yours but im pretty sure OPEC has lost its ability to dictate prices like it could in the 70's. Im also aware that OPEC is incapable of decreasing oil prices as its reached its production per day capacity, if it could it would lower prices(definitely in the short term) to show how powerful and organization it is.  Its simply too much demand in this crazy little world we live in

As for the figure mentioned by the original poster id agree that its a disgrace and someone should be held accountable for it, but civil servants always seem incapable of punishment where ever you are! Maybe you need some random firing squads to whip every one into shape.
