GAS PRICES ARE UP AGAIN- JUST AS THE ADMINISTRATION WANTS IT

THE KUHNS REPORT

LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

Gas prices continue to rise. This week, here in Nevada the average price was approximately $3.85 at the pump. In California some places registered $5.00 a gallon.

For those people that are wondering if I think gas prices are manipulated - - "yes", I do. I have said that for years and wrote numerous op-ed's relating to that fact. I also first contacted Nevada's lawmakers way back in  1995, complaining about possible manipulation of gas prices, The standard reply from  the Washington crowd was: Mr. Kuhns, no on is manipulating gas prices. Folks, if you believe their response I have a bridge in Brooklyn I would  like to sell you.

After calling oil CEO's  up before Congress on two or three separate occasions and inquiring as to why gas prices increase by leaps and bounds one day and then all of a sudden fall another day left the public with the impression that in fact, the oil prices are being manipulated. The congressional hearings set up on television were nothing but a dog and pony show pretending that congress is concerned but in reality all congress people care about is getting their mug before cameras. Nothing is ever done to reign in the oil companies greed.

The day before Obama took office, the average price of gas was  $1.838. Less than two bucks a gallon. That was on January 19, 2009. That figure just mentioned came from the Energy Information Agency. Since then, gasoline prices have soared ninety-six (96%) percent.

Have you noticed that before any national election gas prices generally fall way down. Low prices at the gas pump! Wow! The masses look at the low price at the pump and  tell their friends that things are okay. That is exactly what the candidates want you to see. Then they pounce on the fact that gas prices are low and it's all because of them. But after the election gas prices at the pump begin to increase once again . And the politicians tell us they have no control over gasoline prices - -BULL!

During George W. Bush's second term he was overhead on an open microphone talking with the Saudi monarch. The king told Bush that he would have OPEC lower all gasoline prices right before the election in order to help Bush get reelected and following the election the prices would raise again. Is that manipulation? I think so.

The gasoline manipulation prior to any election has occurred both on the Democrats and Republicans watch. The lawmakers know that gasoline prices are a hot button issue with the people in the United States and they play the gasoline card to their benefit while pandering to the oil industry and the countries controlling the oil flow to assist them in their election bid.

I believe that there is a small group of  people in world power positions and others that head up some of the most recognized organizations in the world who dictate the price of gasoline at any given moment.If they want to raise  the prices with flourish, start a war; instigate unrest in certain parts of the world; create a wall street incident; tighten the flow of money around the world. Then again, if they want to use domestic means to raise gasoline prices at the pump they convince  the people that the refineries need to shut down to rework their lines and make repairs. Isn't it amazing that most all of the refineries in the nation shut down at one time to retool or blend  fuel?  Talk about a scam. This is one big scam.There is no end to the number of things that this secretive, self-entitled clique of manipulators can do.

Folks, I submit that the oil industry and it's millions of dollars being paid out to lawmakers perpetuate this scam of high gasoline prices. The government could do a lot to reduce the price of gasoline here in the U.S., but they refuse to take action because they continue to have an ongoing  "Lewinsky" type relationship with the oil  baron's. The politicians and lawmakers have never ever taken any substantial action against the oil industry nor do they hold them accountable for the increases in such things as transportation costs that have to be added on to everything we buy - - - - food for one. They bluster and promise to take action but what is the result?  Nothing. They tell the oil titans to "try" to do a better job.

We here in the United States shouldn't be paying more than $2.00 a gallon for gasoline. According to experts we have recent discoveries of domestic shale oil and gas reserves to last for the next 100 years. We also have solar farms and windmills which are subsidized by our tax money not to mention the  largest natural gas reserves in the world right here in the good ol' USA?  With all of the above mentioned resources we should have oil  gushing into the gas pumps.So, manipulation? You bet.

There should be an outcry and peaceful marches in the streets from all of us citizens demanding that  these idiots in Washington actually confront the oil industry and insist on fair and reasonable prices at the pump. Enough is enough. When only one oil company can make $53 BILLION dollars PROFIT in only one quarter that's GREED. There my friends is the biggest part of the problem.- -. And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
