I often get honks from big rigs when I put up my 9/11-related freeway signs, so turnabout would be greatly appreciated.

This truckers strike appears to be solely about high fuel prices and not about unregulated trucks coming into the U.S. from Mexico, as previous actions were. Personally, I have no problem with high fuel prices as they are a more accurate reflection (i.e. reality check) of peak oil kicking in and demand far outstripping supply. In a capitalist system prices are the ultimate wake-up call.

That said, this is an unprecedented opportunity to reach out to a vital ally in our struggle to restore our republic to the rule of laws based on the constitution.

I would suggest stressing the importance of maintaining a well regulated and safe environment for truckers and the trucking industry, and highlighting the plight of the first responders (as our tie-in with 9/11) when interacting with the truckers and supporting their strike. Fuel prices are a secondary issue, although pushing greater production of bio-diesel is always a good thing.

Without trucking, this country comes to a complete halt in a few days.

Let's take this opportunity and run with it, brothers and sisters!

The truth shall set us free. Love is the only way forward.

"OPEC Secretary-General Abdullah el al-Badri said Sunday oil prices would likely go higher and that the group was ready to raise production if the price pressure was due to a shortage of supply something he doubted. "Oil prices, there is a common understanding that has nothing to do with supply and demand,""

And besides that if it were a supply & demand issue there would be no obscene amounts of profits.

Like it says on the trucker website... "Our Government IS a part of high fuel prices."

I have a problem with high gas prices because they are generating artificial scarcity. That's not my opinion, that's a fact. Read "Armed Madhouse" by Greg Palast and you'll see why. The goal of Iraq is to keep the oil in the ground, not pump it and lower the price! Gas companies are making the biggest profits ever. Peak oil or not, it's clear that they want to keep it as profitable as possible for as long as possible.

and you are quite correct about Iraq being manipulated. This is nothing new, one of the reasons (indeed, perhaps the main reason) for Gulf War I was to freeze Iraqi production and limit their exploration and development to artificially flatten the peak, stretching it out and creating this wobbly plateau we're now seeing.

It is important to keep in mind that Saddam's justification for invading Kuwait was that he accused the Kuwaitis of horizontal drilling into Iraqi oil fields and stealing Iraq's oil. Who is to say that this is not going on now and that this stolen oil is not being used to displace falling Kuwaiti and Saudi reserves? I strongly suspect that this is the case.

American-style corporate capitalism is all about profit maximization, they will do anything they can get away with in pursuit of this end.

Once the market realizes and assimilates the reality of peak oil, prices will go even higher until they find equilibrium with demand (including future demand and alternatives which replace petroleum products).

Along with artificial scarcity manipulating supply, I suspect that there is a co-ordinated effort at targeted demand destruction, as well. These market manipulations are to further mask the reality of peak oil and extend the oil era for as long as possible, further maximizing the profits of those who control oil.

As for me, I don't drive as much and combine trips whenever possible. A clean vehicle and proper tire pressure aids fuel mileage, as well.

Fortunately, I'm in good health and love to walk and ride my bike.

I hope that you and yours are well.

at one of the 11th Day Actions at Dealey Plaza in Dallas. He told me he knew all about 9/11 because he listens to Alex Jones on the road.
he was glad to accept several.
