Cat 2 "hurricane" shuts down USA

Fascism in Knoxville TN, thanks to our billionaire mayor who owns Pilot oil company. Gas prices jumped $1.50/gallon in 1 hour, with many stations closed for lack of gas. No gas deliveries until late next week.

What about all the other oil refineries in USA besides the Gulf? Most are shut down 24/7/365 to create artificial scarcity.

British Petroleum was given most of the oil in Alaska, which it exports to Communist China, Japan and Mexico, then pumps most of what's left back into the ground, to drive up gas profits, er, prices in USA. Bimbo Palin won't talk about THAT.

Half of Mexico's gas comes from USA, according to Jr Bush, "since the Mexican economy comes first". Mexican govt owns PeMex Oil, which is the textbook definition of fascism. PeMex fins massive oil reserves in the Gulf, then caps those wells to drive up prices in USA.

The price of gas in Mexico is 45-cents a gallon, 11-cents a gallon in Venuzuela, and 6-cents a gal in Iraq before Bush Jr's latest invasion to cut off the supply of cheap oil to USA. Now gas is 65-cents a gallon in Iraq, thanks to Haliburton importing oil from Kuwait.

When Jr Bush first hijacked the White House in 2000 until 2004, gas was $1.00/gallon.

SCAM!

Readers: What do you think about this situation? Have you found cheaper gas? What about more expensive prices?

Our Mayor Billionaire Haslam wasn't satisfied looting City of Knoxville Muni Corp's billion-dollar CAFR "pension" fund as his private ATM to run Pilot Corp. But no, he had to charge $1 a gallon more for gas than the other crooks. Now we know why he works for "free" without a salary.

Guess you can't trust a govt that keeps 2 sets of books. Wonder why the "news" never reports on annual CAFR Reports of $70-Trillion/year in govt profits, and only mentions the Budget Report of expenses?
