The "Quite" War...

The price of Oil and the cause of War

Oil is the major comodity traded worldwide.  Prices reached $147/Barrell at one time and now around $85/Barrell. Countries who have it are rich.

USA, the largest consumer of 19 Million Barrels/day, took steps to reduce the consumption.

The IEA anounced that USA would be a major oil producer, exceeding Saudi Arabia, by 2020 and energy suffecient by 2035. This may happens sooner if we turned to Natural Gas.

Iran can't sell enough oil to support its economy due to the current embargo.

The Gaza rockets attack on Israel and the expected retaliation increases oil prices up    $4/B but is going back.

As the oil supply increases, and USA's utilization decreases, the Middle East will change dramatically. It will quite down the desire for war.... greatly. The oil becomes a regular, low price product with no connection to any conflict. A boring time for many.

After-The Election





The Election process is the greatest exercise of our Democracy. It gets us a great reward. 
Some may have been disappointed at the 2012 outcome... 50 Millions of them.

However we put our foot down, drawn a line in the sand.

We need and want:
Reinventing the US Economy
jobs for everyone who needs it
Strengthen the Social network for retired American citizens in living expenses and or Healthcare.

  • No more war, in Afghanistan, Iraqi, Syria, or Iran.  No more killing, no more losses of young people's lives, limbs, and no more families destroyed.
  • No more dependence on foreign oil. A barrel that reached $147 at one point.
  • No more collapse of the economy and housing market. No more Banks playing the "now you see now you don't".
  • No fiscal Cliff.
  • No more US huge debt.
Not much to ask for, is isn't it?

We gave the officials three years to achieve it or we vote them out.

.Sandy's wrath.




The impact of huracaine Sandy was beyond expectation. Powerfull, destructive wind and water. Some areas were on fire, houses washed away, electrical grid damaged, transportation stopped and hospitals flooded.  Millions are in so much trouble.         

We looked to the government for immediate relief.

Food to the hungry, water to the thirsty, shelter to those without, cloths to the needy, hospital to the sick, and home visit to the elderly. 

35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me." 

Big Government or not .. pay your fair share, and donate some extra to the relief efforts. You and your loved ones are lucky.... survived.
