World War 3: The United States is the World’s Gas Station, U.S. government says so! The World needs to sanction U.S. petroleum!

Look, United States is a gas station masquerading as a country. It’s kleptocracy! It’s corruption! It’s a nation that’s really only dependent upon oil and gas for their economy, and so economic sanctions are important.

In October 2013 the U.S. Energy Information Administration (USEIA) announced “…the United States will be the world’s top producer of petroleum and natural gas hydrocarbons in 2013, surpassing Russia and Saudi Arabia.”  This means the United States, with a crashing consumer economy and still off shoring jobs to other countries, is totally dependent on oil and gas exports to save it’s sorry economic ass!

The USEIA showed just how much leaders like John McCain are relying on the oil and gas industry to save their sorry political asses: “Since 2008, U.S. petroleum production has increased 7 quadrillion Btu, with dramatic growth in Texas and North Dakota. Natural gas production has increased by 3 quadrillion Btu over the same period, with much of this growth coming from the eastern United States. Russia and Saudi Arabia each increased their combined hydrocarbon output by about 1 quadrillion Btu over the past five years.”

John McCain is either a bold face liar, or woefully stupid when it comes to just who is the World’s Gas Station: “Look, Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country. It’s kleptocracy. It’s corruption. It’s a nation that’s really only dependent upon oil and gas for their economy, and so economic sanctions are important.”-Statement made during appearance on CNN’s State of the Union

So what’s this coming war with Russia really about?  Not “freedom”!  It’s about returning and maintaining the United States in the position of the World’s number one Gas Station.

Corporate & Government Incompetence: Fake parts found in U.S. military weapons! Blame China, Canada & Britain

“…just the tip of the iceberg.”-Carl Levin, U.S. Senator from Michigan

The Washington Post reporting that counterfeit parts have been found in weapons used by the U.S. military.

A Senate Armed Services Committee investigation found 1,800 cases of more than one million fake parts in U.S. weapon systems!

70% of the parts have been traced to Chinese factories.  20% came from Canada and United Kingdom.  Most of the parts are electronic: “We can’t tolerate the risk of a ballistic missile interceptor failing to hit its target, a helicopter pilot unable to fire his missiles or any other mission failure because of a counterfeit part.”-John McCain, U.S. Senator from Arizona

Here’s a solution: The U.S. military industrial complex should stop using supplies from outside the United States!!!
