"We can´t exploit nuclear power or drill for oil in ANWR or the Gulf because Democratic members of congress have been bought and paid for by the most dangerous terrorists in America, the radical environmentalists... they are the American people´s deadliest enemies."
Michael Reagan




It might be said that these radical environmentalists, are really communists in disguise, who would weaken our nation, by hook-or-crook. The emperor has no clothes, when this nation stands stark naked, stripped of all assets, and begging radical Islamic states for energy, and goodwill.

We have placed every nation on planet Earth first--except our own. We have been dreaming dreams of poverty, while placing ourselves in ever increasing debt to the money masters of the Federal Reserve, and the Red Chinese.

It is time to reclaim our country, and stolen strength. It is time to restore our national greatness--even as Russia has done.

It is time to bring American industry home, to restore our self sufficiency. Such concepts as an interdependent world, and "service economy," are alien and anti-American to the nth degree.

We must finally follow the advice of Thomas Jefferson, and restore the power of the purse to the American people. We cannot restore our national greatness, until the usury of the Federal Reserve is outlawed, the United Nations expelled from American territory, and ANWR opened up to drilling. We must also abandon Marxist free trade, and all concepts which paint America as a safety valve for failed nations of the planet.

We are a beacon and example to the world--not a dumping ground. This country and its riches belong to the American people and must be utilized so that we do not rent that which is already ours, nor do we see the price of oil--and thus food--go beyond the reach of the American people.

Even now, Americans are taking up bicycles, as if they were Chinese coolies, because they can no longer afford a necessity of life--gasoline. We are in retrograde movement on our national horoscope. Shall the die be cast for our national eclipse, or shall we awaken to the fact that we stand alone, as a leader out in front of the rest of the nations of the world?

The United States of America is Supreme Shogun and maritime superpower. The course charted for our ship of state, does not include sailing with the corporate fleet, for as Thomas Jefferson observed "...the merchant has no country."

We are a revolutionary people, who stand as a pole star of freedom for all revolutionary movements--past, present and future. Now is the time of the Second American Revolution, whereby we reclaim our country, national power and prestige. It is the American people who must come out of the shadows, not invading Mexican nationals, nor robber barons who would dissolve our country into the NAU.

There can be no "harmonization" with any tyranny which destroys us as a nation and people--including a false ecology.

The great task set before the American people, requires us to wrest control of our destiny, from the money masters, who enslave us--and our lawmakers--to imagine that we have no assets, no future--except endless debt and importation of "guest workers," to stock the human zoo, and tangle of squabbling nationalities our nation is rapidly becoming.

As we analyze our national assets, we should examine estimates by geologists, who tell us that ANWR sits on top of enough oil to restore the energy independence America once enjoyed. That independence was squandered when political correctness dictated that we follow the maxims of the Green Movement, and a Liberal agenda of exagerrated environmental concern.

Columnist and mega-patriot Devvy Kidd, has noted how the communists use the environmental movement to place a false economy on a free people, to enslave them under political correctness.

We are expected to witness the sunset of our nation, as we become absorbed into the world of environmental treaties, dictated by the United Nations, and the so-called "New World Order."

We cannot submit to the Law of the Sea Treaty, nor any other pact which would weaken America, and our superior standard of living or our military preparedness.

It is time to garner and calculate our assets, and that which is owed us, by the nations of the world. The American taxpayer is not the piggy bank of the Third World. We the People, are not Santa Claus. This country belongs to real Americans--not the Mexican invaders in our midst.

"Nation-building" applies only to the American landscape and infrastructure.

Our lawmakers comport themselves as "Daddy Warbucks," as they give away the wealth of the American people to a foreign invader, under the Merida Initiative.
The people are never consulted, when it comes time to spend; we simply receive the bill, in the form of hemorrhaging of blood and national treasure.

Even now, the president has called for Congress to provide over 800 million dollars in American taxpayer money, to provide food for the world's hungry, as the United Nations sits on a $1.22 Billion dollar food stockpile. We are not in a position to fulfill this presidential mandate, as the national bank account is 9 trillion dollars in arrears. Charity begins at home, especially when there are millions of homeless and soon-to-be homeless Americans to consider.

What must be understood by any American president, is that the United States of America is NOT a welfare agency for the world. The American people understand this, while our leaders subscribe to a melting pot mythology and fire sale giveaway.

Americans are also standing in bread lines. We are an impoverished people, not the generous benefactor of the planet. If this were not so, our lawmakers would not be offering the pseudo stimulus package, to jump start the heart of a nation in "code blue." Electro-shock therapy is not sound monetary policy.

The headlong rush toward biofuel development has directly triggered this crisis as nations seek to utilize more ethanol to counter an alleged "global warming," which has put a strain on food costs, as more land is alloted to fuel production, at the expense of food crops.

Increased food demand from rapidly developing countries such as China and India, the use of these food crops for biofuels, global stocks at 25-year lows and market speculation are all blamed for pushing prices of staples like wheat, maize and rice to record highs.

Senate Republicans have asked environmental regulators to halt plans to expand ethanol production amid rising food prices.

Twenty-four Republican senators have now sent a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency, to request a reevaluation of current policy which requires a fivefold increase in ethanol production over the next 15 years.

Senator John McCain of Arizona, has noted the devastating impact of a subsidized ethanol program "...paid for by taxpayer dollars" which "has contributed to pain at the cash register, at the dining room table, and a devastating food crisis throughout the world."

Our factors of production are outsourced to India and Red China, by the secret government of elites, which controls our nation, through the power of the purse, and hostile corporate takeover.

Our money is held hostage to the private corporation known as the "Federal Reserve, and our monetary policy is held hostage to environmental political correctness. It is time to change the fuzzy math of a deficit equation.

Conservative estimates by the U.S. Geological Survey confirm that ANWR holds an estimated 10.4 to 16 billion barrels of oil.

"Just how much is 10.4 billion barrels? It´s enough to replace more than 30 years worth of oil imported from Saudi Arabia or over 58 years of oil imported from Iraq." [1]

With the price of gas now approaching $4.00 a gallon; one has to ask the question: "Why does gas cost only 45 cents a gallon in Saudi Arabia, 35 cents in Iran, and less than a quarter in Venezuela?"

The answer lies in the fact that Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela, have taken concrete steps to ensure that they produce enough oil for the needs of their people, whereas America has not. We are held hostage to domestic terrorists (lawmakers) who use the environment to justify America's collapse as a superpower.

Patrick J. Buchanan was asked whether he supported drilling for Alaskan oil, in 2000, when he ran on the Reform Party ticket for president of the United States.
Buchanan's reply was: "I believe they ought to drill in the ANWR. It´s only a portion of it. There´s five billion barrels of oil there. But more important, the United States, instead of busting up Microsoft, an American asset, ought to have a national policy to break up the OPEC cartel. It is a price-rigging, criminal conspiracy designed to loot the West and the United States of scores of billions of dollars every single year. Cut off all IMF foreign aid loans to any country that belongs to OPEC. Tell any country that does belong to OPEC, ´U.S. security guarantees are going to be lifted unless you drill more oil.´ We have got to play hardball. These people in Washington-Clinton talks about the idea of free trade and interdependence. These people don´t believe in that. They believe in driving you to the wall. If they get control of a commodity that you don´t have-and the United States needs an America first policy of economic nationalism to deal with it." [2]

Mr. Buchanan is well aware of the stranglehold OPEC has exerted over the American people, and now is the time to take his advice for playing hardball with these nations, which gouge us six ways-to-Sunday.

Our country needs an insurance policy for dealing with the oil weapon used by America's enemies, which includes:
• Opening up the Alaska Natural Wildlife Refuge to exploratory drilling.
• Use of nuclear power to generate electricity.
• Study of the potential of an oil import fee to stimulate conservation and new drilling, and to make clean coal and natural gas more competitive.

"Our dependence on foreign oil rose after the Arab oil embargo in 1973 from approximately 35 percent to more than 55 percent in 2004. The U.S. Energy Information Administration predicts this figure will increase to 64 percent by 2020 if domestic supplies do not increase." [3]

President Bush has wisely called on Congress to open the Alaskan Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to harness America's natural wealth in energy reserves for the good of the nation.
This presidential act may atone for his lecturing Americans about "being addicted to oil."

President Bush has encouraged lawmakers to support the exploration and refinement of domestic oil reserves. This is a most necessary step in keeping our economy strong, and maintaining the American standard of living.

Exploitation of ANWR would allow America to produce about one million new barrels of oil per day, Bush said. This translates to about 27 millions gallons of gas and diesel for American drivers who line up at the pump everyday.

The national interest cannot take a back seat to keeping America as a private game reserve, for if that were so; there would be no "amber waves of grain" in America, but just a bunch of Indians, still chasing bison across a forlorn prairie.

Speaking of forlorn; the "pristine wilderness" of ANWR, painted by the environmental wackos, is actually a bleak, desolate tundra.

"Opponents of drilling in ANWR say, 'it's the nation's last true wilderness, a hallowed place, and a pristine environmental area.' But last summer in a Washington Times article titled, 'Hardly a Pretty Place: Use ANWR for Oil Exploration,' Jonah Goldberg described it this way: '[I]f you wanted a picture to go with the word 'Godforsaken' in the dictionary, ANWR would do nicely." [4]

"ABC-NBC-CBS have been accompanying discussions of ANWR with picturesque footage of caribou frolicking in lush, fertile fields --- all of which happens to be nowhere near the site of the proposed drilling. ANWR is 19 million acres -- larger than Massachusetts, New Jersey, Hawaii, Connecticut and Delaware combined. If oil is found, less than 2,000 acres would be directly affected. The area targeted for drilling looks a little like the moon, but less inviting."
Ann Coulter

"To many in Congress, ANWR is "America's Serengeti," a last wild place where caribou herds and polar bears roam. Even the most low-impact, responsible drilling would not be acceptable to them. Given such implacable opposition, is the issue really dead? Certainly not. Indeed, it will cycle to the fore again and again until the drilling begins or we are all driving solar cars."
David Applegate

"Opponents worry that the caribou will be disconsolate about, and their reproduction disrupted by, this intrusion by man. The same was said 30 years ago by opponents of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline that brings heated oil south from Prudhoe Bay. Since the oil began flowing, the caribou have increased from 5,000 to 31,000. Perhaps the pipeline's heat makes them amorous."
George Will

"ANWR exploration is overwhelmingly supported by Alaskans, Eskimos, Teamsters and caribou. It is opposed by Northeastern liberals who would never set foot anyplace near ANWR, and haven't the first idea what it looks like.
The word 'wildlife' in ANWR's title, for example, is somewhat misleading. The coastal plain -- where the drilling would occur -- is in total darkness half the year and reaches temperatures of 50 below. Most of the year it is uninhabited and uninhabitable by wildlife. Indeed, the only living things in the vicinity of the coastal plain -- Eskimos and caribou -- enthusiastically support drilling." [4]


Prudhoe Bay and the coastal area of ANWR that may be opened to oil exploration are about the size of a postage stamp on a football field. Prudhoe Bay's gravel pads, gathering lines, production facilities, roads and other oil infrastructure occupy less than 6,000 acres of land, yet Prudhoe Bay remains America's largest oil field. [5]

"A few weeks ago when gas prices topped $3 per gallon, many of these ANWR opponents raced to the TV cameras to blame the Bush administration. Last week, Congress was asked to lift the ban on offshore drilling. They refused. Now, for the 13th time, Congress is being asked to increase the supply of oil by opening ANWR. Ten years ago, Congress did approve drilling in ANWR, only to have the measure vetoed by Bill Clinton." [6]

The Manifest Destiny of America demands that our country maintain its status as a conspicuous consumer of oil and all the other goodies of life. In short, our greatness depends on sheer exploitation of our natural resources, thereby ensuring energy independence and freedom from tampering with our economy and political destiny by foreign governments.

The Russian Federation and Red China have no problem exploiting their natural resources, as they seek to eclipse America as the preeminent power in the world.

"China recently penned a 25-year, $100 billion oil/gas deal with Iran to satisfy its seemingly-endless appetite for energy. And taking Tehran to the United Nations would hurt future energy — and other pending commercial — deals.
Beijing also wants to divide America's strategic attention by strengthening Iran's hand in the Middle East. According to the CIA, China has aided Iranian ballistic missile, chemical weapons and conventional arms programs." [7]


"MOSCOW, 13 August 2007 — By air, sea and land, the Russian bear´s claws are stretching back into corners of a world that had all but forgotten Moscow as a military superpower.
The latest reminder came this week when Russian strategic Tu-95 bombers flew over the Pacific to within a few hundred kilometers (miles) of the US military base on the island of Guam — and, according to a Russian general, exchanged grins with US fighter pilots sent to intercept.
The dramatic incident on Wednesday capped a summer in which President Vladimir Putin has sought to project power far and wide, building on a rearmament program fuelled by oil and gas revenues.
On Aug. 2 Russian explorers descended 4,261 meters (13,980 feet) under the Arctic to plant a flag on the seabed and demonstrate in a theatrical fashion Moscow´s contested claim to the mineral-rich territory under the North Pole." [8]



"Contrast our resistance to developing domestic oil resources to Russia, a country that has embraced the abiotic, deep-earth origin of oil theories and has explored aggressively domestic oil-rich areas, including western Siberia. Today, Russia has advanced to the point where the country rivals Saudi Arabia as the world's largest exporter of oil. We do the exact opposite. We have placed ourselves in an "oil stranglehold" precisely because we have allowed ourselves to become convinced that oil is fossil fuel and that we should keep our environment "pristine." Every effort to explore what are likely to be massive oil reserves throughout Alaska and offshore, both in the Atlantic and the Pacific, as well as in the Gulf of Mexico, are predictably blocked by the political left and radical environmentalists."
Jerome Corsi

According to Corsi, the U.S. imports 60 percent of our oil, a proportion that continues to grow. He argues in "Black Gold Stranglehold" that this dependency on foreign oil must end. "Otherwise, we will continue to be held hostage to countries such as Mexico, from which we accept a non-ending flood of illegal immigrants, or Venezuela, where socialist leader Hugo Chavez is fueling the flames of anti-Americanism with his narco-terrorist buddies throughout the hemisphere. The billions we are shipping to the Middle East inevitably will come right back at us in the form of radical Islamic terrorism, especially since as our supposed friends the Saudis can find no resolve to control the extreme Wahhabism that is central to their beliefs."

The "Black Gold Stranglehold" is one of our own making. Drilling in ANWR is an important step forward to the United States becoming more oil independent. If we do not come to grips with the necessity of exploiting our natural resources; we will soon find ourselves owned lock, stock and barrel, by Red China's hostile corporate takeover.


"At the Sixth Party Congress held in Moscow in 1928, Communists wrote and approved 'The Program' to bring in the New World Order. What most Americans don't know is the real nature of this diabolical criminal scheme. The Program of the Third International called for a global environmental program and for the transformation of all human beings on earth to accept the New World Order. These and other facts are brought to light by General Benton Partin in his videotape, Globalism: The Program. The Communists planned to use the global environmental program as a means of eradicating national sovereignty and creating a world dictatorship." [9]


"For some people, environmentalism is collectivism in drag. Such people use environmental causes and rhetoric not to change the political climate for the purpose of environmental improvement. Rather, for them, changing the society's politics is the end, and environmental policies are mere means to that end." [10]


The solutions to lowering American's energy dependence on foreign countries should have been undertaken thirty years ago. Open more refineries, drill Gull Island and ANWR - two locations rich with oil reserves that can be developed in a safe, environmentally friendly manner.
Devvy Kidd



"Here we have the humiliating spectacle of a president of the United States begging an Arab potentate to increase our supply of oil while Democrats, who bear the major responsibility for the problem, scoff at him as a mendicant groveling at the feet of a foreign monarch.
As humiliating as it is for the United States to be put in a position where our economy is held hostage to foreign oil producers who can make or break our nation simply by limiting their petroleum production, thus causing the price of oil to skyrocket, it is even more shameful that we have allowed the so-called environmental movement to escape the blame for our predicament.
Make no mistake about it, you are paying exorbitant prices at the gas pump solely because the environmental terrorists and their Democrat allies in Congress have all but shut down our domestic oil production while refusing to allow the exploration and creation of new sources of this resource so vital to our economic health." [11]
Michael Reagan

Bush's announcement from the White House Rose Garden came on a day when gas prices had just topped out at over $3.60 per gallon--a national average that has risen by $1.40 over the past 18 months.

"One of the main reasons for high gas prices is that global oil production is not keeping up with growing demand," Bush said.

He pointed to the oil that lies beneath Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) as a source of relief for Americans who struggle to keep up with rising fuel prices.

"Bush asserted that exploratory drilling of the Alaskan refuge is environmentally safe, and would mean a 20 percent increase in oil which would most likely result in lower gas prices. "And yet such efforts to explore ANWR have been consistently blocked," Bush said.

He also outlined America's "lack of refining capacity" as an explanation for high gas prices. "It's been more than 30 years since America built its last new refinery," said the president. "Yet in this area, too, Congress has repeatedly blocked efforts to expand capacity and build more refineries."

It would be prudent to remember the inaction of a Democratic Congress when election day rolls around.



Conclusion

"It might be said that there are many reasons for utilizing the ANWR oil deposits. Chief among them: "Only 8% of ANWR Would Be Considered for Exploration. Only the 1.5 million acre or 8% on the northern coast of ANWR is being considered for development. The remaining 17.5 million acres or 92% of ANWR will remain permanently closed to any kind of development. If oil is discovered, less than 2000 acres of the over 1.5 million acres of the Coastal Plain would be affected. That's less than half of one percent of ANWR that would be affected by production activity.

Federal revenues would be enhanced by billions of dollars from bonus bids, lease rentals, royalties and taxes. Estimates on bonus bids for ANWR by the Office of Management and Budget and the Department of Interior for the first 5 years after Congressional approval are $4.2 billion. Royalty and tax estimates for the life of the 10-02 fields were estimated by the Office of Management and Budget from $152-237 billion.

In 2007, the US imported an average of 60% of its oil and during certain months up to 64%. That equates to over $330 billion in oil imports. That´s $37.75 million per hour gone out of our economy! Factor in the cost to defend our imported oil, and the costs in jobs and industry sent abroad, the total would be nearly a trillion dollars.

Oil and gas development and wildlife are successfully coexisting in Alaska 's arctic. For example, the Central Arctic Caribou Herd (CACH) which migrates through Prudhoe Bay has grown from 3000 animals to its current level of 32,000 animals. The arctic oil fields have very healthy brown bear, fox and bird populations equal to their surrounding areas.

Advanced technology has greatly reduced the 'footprint" of arctic oil development. If Prudhoe Bay were built today, the footprint would be 1,526 acres, 64% smaller.

It is estimated that between 250,000 and 735,000 ANWR jobs will be created by development of the Coastal Plain." [12]

If Russian president Vladimir Putin can take a thoroughly depressed Russian economy and turn it around through exploitation of his nation's energy resources, so can we.

The United States of America would be wise to follow the example set by President Putin, who took his fleet of grounded fighter pilots, and enabled them to once again soar through the skies in power and glory.

With huge amounts of money coming into Russia as a result of the energy windfall, the rebuilding of the military is part of a wider process started by Putin - the restoration of pride and the rebuilding of a national identity.

What is the United States of America doing in the meantime, except choking under the stranglehold of OPEC?
