The REAL Reason Gas Prices Are So High
THE DIRTY ARMY: Nik, I’m FED up with the Obama Propaganda machine blaming the high price of oil on your home Country – Iran. Please help spread this message so we can bring down the price of gas for my trip to Chicago this summer. Thanks pal!
I wish I could buy an EV1.- nik










We import more oil from Canada and Latin America. Fck Iran…we should just leave it alone until Israel does it in.
Where did you get those little factoids from?
Israel does it??? LOL you wish buddy . Stop trying to change the topic to Iran vs Israel you f*cking racist piece of shit. If I wanted to I could really spill my guts about the Israeli nation, but I won’t because I’m not a uneducated assh*le . Nice new fad, lets go against Iran before it was Iraq and Afghanistan, with the way you idiots are talking about the middle east it’s a good thing they brought the prices of oil up.
Im glad I ride a bike.
our fiat currency could look so much better if we +2′d the stuff!
Iran is in a way responsible because of the possible war with Israel. Israel has hinted at military action against Iran to stop it developing atomic arms. Iran then said it could retaliate by closing a major oil shipping thoroughfare, which would push up crude prices and hit the world economy.
Obama propaganda machine? Seriously? The REAL reason gas prices are so high has NOTHING to do with Iran at all. It has more to do with unregulated oil speculation.
Thank you, Sarah. Can I add lobbyists will end up ruining this country/world (slowly but surely). When everything can be bought, integrity is lost. Everyone has a price. Everyone. Especially when a majority of us are living paycheck to paycheck. Do yourself a favor and look up the “Koch brothers” when you have a minute…two class individuals.
Ev1, this dude nik is kinds funny lately, nik publish some paperwork about what percent goes to Haiti and things of that nature. If you do that I will put up at least a stack…
Oil is NOT tied to the price of gold. never has been. Never will be. This guy is a moron.
This comment is extremely painful to read, and a great example of the upcoming Idiocracy we will all live in if things continue along the same path.
Either you didn’t listen to a word he said, or you didn’t understand it. I’ll bet on the latter.
He priced a barrel of West Texas Intermediate Crude oil IN GOLD as an example to illustrate what the Forbes article he cited was attempting to explain (that crude is BELOW its value)
It obviously flew over your head.
In fact, pricing just about anything relative to spot gold will give you a better sense of actual market value really us.
Furthermore, you completely miss the entire point of the report— Contrary to popular belief, OIL AND GAS PRICES ARE NOT HIGH. THE VALUE OF THE DOLLAR IS LOW.
The dollar has lost 97% of it’s value since the Federal Reserve Act was passed, thereby taking us from Sound Money (money based on the price of gold) to the fiat money we have today.
The US came off of the gold standard on August 15, 1971. The Federal Reserve Act was passed on 1913. The Act established the Federal Reserve. Thats it. Its funny when people talk of Idiocracy.
Um, gold is down from $2000 to $1600 (25%) over the last 6 months and oil has gone significantly higher. Way to base your argument on something completely false.
Fox News. Enough said.
its an election year.
gas is ALWAYS expensive on election years, it gives the assholes in washington something to pretend to talk about.
welcome to amurrica.
this is a complete joke with roughly zero facts. Here’s my theory. Before the iran and iraq war we had cheap oil and gas during and before the bush era. Then we went over seas and took over most of the middle east and libya and just kept on going through . Alot of these countries have oil. We are now in controll of them. Therefor without those countries setting a different price and affecting the market . It’s like monopoly. controll the board set all the prices. screw the people and make as much money.
