7. Peak Oil

Heard a lot about it for a while , then , not so much.

[Subdivisions]

10. Anyone who thinks low gas and oil prices have changed the picture,

better think again.

If you haven't begun to prepare, you better.

Mark my words.

14. Oil Speculators and Big Oil ripped off the American people

A huge scam pulled on the American people, where Oil Speculators used the Enron Loophole to rob US blind. Besides paying up to $5.00 per gallon in gas, food prices went shooting through the roof and stayed there. Now that gas prices have dropped back down, everyone has forgotten just like they planned. There was no "Peak oil" or supply and demand crisis, they made it all up to cover their exploitation of the Enron Loophole and it worked smashingly.

[Sal Minella]

15. Credentialed Press people (Amy Goodman) being thrown around and arrested in Minnesota

17. I've been collecting all sorts of pictures ...

... for the "caption game" on the Truthiness Encyclopedia.

You're all welcome to peruse them (http://www.wikiality.com/Write_A_Caption/Archive starting at archive #76 through the end)

Also, I've been keeping notes on Rachel Maddow's "Ms. Information" segment (http://www.wikiality.com/Rachel_Maddow/Ms._Information ), "Lame Duck Watch" (http://www.wikiality.com/Lame_Duck_Watch ) and Olbermann's "Bushed" segment (http://www.wikiality.com/Bushed#2008 ).

Enjoy.

[camera obscura]

22. Mitt Romney celebrated MLK day by singing "Who Let the Dogs Out"

[EFerrari]

24. The FBI tried to frame Bruce Ivins for the antrax attacks.

The AP, the WaHo and the LAT all printed leaked stories from the FBI that turned out not to be true.

Not one single anthrax expert who does not work for the government agrees with the FBI, and many who do work for the government don't either.
