It is quotes like this that gives people a glimpse of what they really believe.

[drauz]

I said Western governments all over the world are either blocking production or making it increasingly expensive to do so. You can't possibly deny this.

Biden shut down Keystone. California shutting down oil wells.

The US (12 million barrels per day), Canada (4.4 million), and Norway (1.7 million), produce the most oil in Western nations. The next largest is UK at 800k a day, then Australia at 300k a day, then Italy at 100k a day, then it's all less than that. Granted many of these Western countries don't have as much oil as the US or Canada, but they sure as shit have more than they are pumping out. But gee, I wonder why they aren't pumping out more? Oh right, must be because the US oil execs got together with oil execs in these other countries and said "Psssst! Don't drill for more oil and make more money! Do us a solid and keep the oil price high! Thanks!" Yeah, that must be it, not the left wing governments in these countries who have been pushing for more green energy for decades that could possibly be stifling oil production in these countries.

Meanwhile OPEC+ produces over half of the oil pumped out of the ground, and now we are seeing how great it is to rely on countries like Russia to supply our energy needs.

No, you said that was why the gas prices were so high now. I've literally shown you that they are doing the exact thing you are trying to mock me with. Keep your head in the sand.

"Biden fails to secure oil and regional security commitments at Arab summit"

"President Biden on Saturday told a summit of Arab leaders that the United States "is invested in building a positive future of the region, in partnership with all of you. However, Reuters reported, Biden failed to secure commitments for increased oil production or for a regional security alliance — including Israel — to counter the threat of Iran."

Ouch... GOOOOOOO JOE!

Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman hinted Saturday that his country could boost its oil production to help increase worldwide petroleum supplies — but not by much.

The de facto ruler of the oil-rich Middle Eastern kingdom told President Biden and members of the Gulf Cooperation Council that Saudi Arabia is almost at its limit of petroleum production, which he said would max out at 13 million barrels per day.

“After that the kingdom will not have any more capability to increase production,” said the prince, known as MBS.

Except no, that's exactly what happened following the meeting.

Ever have someone ask you to borrow money, but you didn't want to loan it to them so you just told them you didn't have it?

Actually let me rephrase that in a way that's more relatable to you...

Have you ever asked someone if you could borrow money, but they told you they didn't have anything extra to loan you? Turns out they did, they just didn't want to loan anything to you specifically.

There is no way this wasn't an inside job perpetrated by the pastor. This guy's misuse of church funds rivals even Tammy Faye and Jim Bakker.

There is no way this wasn't an inside job perpetrated by the pastor. This guy's misuse of church funds rivals even Tammy Faye and Jim Bakker.

I enjoy watching you get super mad about the misuse of funds by an institution where people have the freedom to not give money. But, when it comes to the misuse of funds by an institution that takes peoples money by gunpoint you joyfully scream for more money to be taken.
