			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> </p>
<p>God created all sorts of energy resources, only a few of which have been developed and utilized to drive our economy.  Energy is the life blood of freedom and it is what allows our economy to produce individual wealth for all Americans.  And, this is why energy, in all forms, is so very important to the average working American.  Cheap inexpensive oil is what results in the costs of everything to go down to reasonable affordable levels for us all.  When energy is inexpensive it is also an incentive for Americans to start new small businesses, because then it is easier to make a good profit, and therefore lower energy costs results in hundreds of thousands of new jobs and allows for significant increases in money available for wages on the shop floor or out in the field.</p>
<p>Energy prices, like prices for everything, are determined by the principles of supply and demand.  The more supply of energy the United States has available to meet the demand of our large and small businesses and individual needs and desires the less it costs.  That is why we the American people have so much power to lower the cost of our energy and make ourselves individually more wealthy.</p>
<p>The fact is that there are HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of barrels of oil and vast volumes of natural gas available DOMESTICALLY right here in and around America.  In addition America has vast resources in coal energy.  Combining the unfathomable quantities of these resources with new developing energy sources would immensely improve all of our families’ economic conditions.  The Liberty Tree Lantern is astonished at how little the mainstream media is reporting all of the new and existing volumes of domestic energy available for us.  We also find it interesting how little it is reported that the Obama Administration is standing in the way of releasing the leases necessary to drill and harvest these vast resources that would so greatly improve our economy and restore the prosperity of individual citizens.</p>
<p>What we need to do as Americans is to get together and with one Tea Party like voice demand that Obama and his Secretary of The Interior release the leases that our Oil companies need to drill for oil out west on federal lands and offshore all around our country and Alaska so that we can build up America and strengthen our freedom through massive infusions of domestic energy.</p>
<p>The Liberty Tree Lantern is happy to provide just one story, of dozens of available, regarding domestic American energy just waiting for the Obama Administration to let us produce the energy we so desperately need to lower our costs of everything.   Please send a personal message to Congress via, paper, e-mail and phone that you want Obama to release the drilling leases immediately.  Tell them to DRILL  HERE AND DRILL NOW!  (Do you know that Obama is stealing American taxpayer money to “give” to Brazil for ‘them’ to drill for oil offshore?  See:  <a title="Permanent Link to U.S. Taxpayers to Provide Financing To Brazil for “Their” Offshore Drilling" href="http://captkarl.blogivists.com/2009/09/03/3013/">U.S. Taxpayers to Provide Financing To Brazil for “Their” Offshore Drilling</a>)</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aGOdeaS1rjQ&#038;fs=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aGOdeaS1rjQ&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>When you write or talk to your Congressman, make sure that you mention that the LAST thing we need are taxes on energy that will increase costs on every single thing the American family needs to live and businesses need to create well paying jobs.  Reject Cap-n-TAX in any form, folks, because such taxes will set our entire country back by decades destroy jobs, wealth, savings and create poverty.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Liberty Tree Lantern has a few questions for our readers to ponder: </p>
<ol>
<li>Why, after the people of America demanded that the ban on offshore and western Federal Lands expire, which it did some months ago now, has the Obama Administration withheld exploration leases and not allowed oil companies to go where they know the domestic oil likely is for exploration and harvest? </li>
<li>Why is the Obama Administration keeping America from our own domestic energy instead of depending on and importing energy from other countries?</li>
<li>Why doesn&#8217;t the majority of mainstream media report on the Billions of Barrels of crude oil available in Western Federal Lands and offshore when this energy would obviously improve the lives of so many Americans?</li>
<li>America is in a horrible recession RIGHT NOW that could OBVIOUSLY be greatly remedied by dramatically increasing that availability of our own massive volumes of domestic energy, doesn&#8217;t the Obama Administration care about the average individual American who is out of work and quickly running out of money due to job loss and increased prices on utility bills, gasoline, food and just about everything else?</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #00ffff">Sing along with the ol&#8217; Capt.:  Five blind mice, Five blind mice, see how they run, see how they run, they all run after the Pelosi strife, who leaves red eyed Americans holding a pitchfork and knife, five blind mice!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ffff">The &#8220;Five Stooges&#8221; Republican Senator idiots poking Americans in the eye are:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ffff">Sen. Saxby Chambliss (GA) &#8212; 202-224-3521 &#8212; 770-763-9090<br />
Sen. Johnny Isakson (GA) &#8212; 202-224-3643 &#8212; 770-661-0999<br />

Sen. John Thune (SD) &#8212; 202-224-2321 &#8212; 605-334-9596</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ffff">They are the ones who are using smoke and mirrors to destroy American energy independence and cheaper oil, gasoline, diesel, heating and food costs; and then having the GUTS to call the proposal a &#8220;bi-partisan&#8221; offshore drilling bill, for crying out loud.  </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000"><strong>CALL THEM</strong></span> <span style="color: #00ffff">and tell them what you think about their idiotic American financial and freedom destructive legislation as highlited in this post:</span> <a href="http://captkarl.blogivists.com/2008/08/11/the-republicans-are-selling-us-down-the-road-permanently/">http://captkarl.blogivists.com/2008/08/11/the-republicans-are-selling-us-down-the-road-permanently/</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ffff">If the Five Blind Mice AKA: &#8220;The Five Stooges&#8221; have their way the price of crude and natural gas will go WAY UP!  Do you want to be paying $8.00 per gallon of gas for your vehicle?  Do you want to pay $1,000.00 a month just to heat your home?  If not, do something!  Don&#8217;t just sit there!  </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color: #00ffff">Most of the U.S. Congress is not only NOT going to help you, the majority want to hurt you and worse destroy freedom (which means freedom FROM Government).  It is their intent to make the vast majority of us dependent on them.  This is their &#8220;Prime Directive&#8221; along with a One World Government under the Trilateral Commission whose leaders and founders are the owners of the PRIVATE CORPORATION called THE FEDERAL RESERVE which is privately owned by forty mega-powerful men who have almost complete control over our Federal Government and our daily lives.  They also control and program &#8221;The Matrix&#8221;.  The (IRS) <strong>&#8220;AGENTS&#8221;</strong> work for them, just like the &#8220;Agents&#8221; in the movie.  This fact is provable by the Grace Commission Report of 1983 to President Reagan.  Not a penny of our income taxes goes to the U.S. Government for the Services you expect.  It all goes to The Federal Reserve in the form of interest and they own your income taxes for their own private use.  When the U.S. Government begs them for more money, for all the stuff they spend money on, The Federal Reserve re-lends them our income taxes, at additional interest.  Nice business model hey?</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2> <span style="color: #ff0000">Update</span>: McCain. Ugh.</h2>
<div class="author">By Michelle Malkin  •  June 11, 2008 02:41 PM</div>
<div class="blog">
<p>GOP Rep. John Peterson of Pennsylvania offered an amendment a year ago to permit offshore natural gas drilling. It was <a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/D?d110:6:./temp/~bdwol5::"><strong><span style="color: #72123b">defeated</span></strong></a> 196-233 by do-nothing Democrats now panicked over high gas prices and forecasts of declining energy supplies from non-OPEC nations.</p>
<p>Peterson is <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/energy/2008-06-10-house-drilling_N.htm"><strong><span style="color: #72123b">pushing</span></strong></a> his amendment again today before a House Appropriations subcommittee, but it’s another uphill battle. For the Dems, you see, <em>doing</em> something about energy independence ain’t as fun as whining about it:</p>
<blockquote><p>Supporters of a proposal to allow drilling for oil and gas off the U.S. coastline are expected to make their case to a House panel Wednesday.</p>
<p>Offshore oil and gas production has been banned off most of the U.S. coastline since Congress approved the Outer Continental Shelf moratorium in 1981, which prevented the leasing of coastal waters for fossil fuel development.</p>
<p>Rep. John Peterson, R-Pa., wants to change that with an amendment to the Interior Department spending bill to be considered by a House Appropriations subcommittee. The amendment would lift the prohibition on exploration 50 to 200 miles offshore but continue to ban drilling within 50 miles of the coastline.</p>
<p>“For 27 years, Congress has deliberately locked-up vast offshore oil and natural gas reserves,” Peterson said. “With the price at the pump increasing daily — with no end in sight — and the cost of natural gas trading at record levels, Congress needs to unlock these reserves.”</p>
<p>He cites estimates from the Minerals Management Service that there are 86 billion barrels of oil and 420 trillion cubic feet of natural gas located offshore.</p></blockquote>
<p>The Senate and the White House, kowtowing to California and Florida electoral interests, actually oppose the measure. So does Barack Obama. McCain is straddling with a “let the states decide whether to drill…unless it’s too ‘ecologically sensitive’” response and is more comfortable peddling Hillary/Edwards-style <a href="http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewPolitics.asp?Page=/Politics/archive/200806/POL20080611d.html"><strong><span style="color: #72123b">demagoguing</span></strong></a> of the oil industry’s <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2008/05/22/gaseous-bipartisan-demagoguery-from-the-dems-and-mccain/"><strong><span style="color: #72123b">“obscene profits.”</span></strong></a></p>
<p>Promising on-shore areas also remain untouchable. Background via the <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121149858423815755.html?mod=googlenews_wsj"><strong><span style="color: #72123b">WSJ</span></strong></a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>A century and a half after oil production began, there is ample evidence that a lot of oil — and natural gas — remains to be found in the U.S. and its territorial waters. Some of those areas are wide open to oil companies, including most of the Gulf of Mexico where deep-water floating rigs now routinely drill wells hundreds of miles from shore. Even in the gulf, areas are off limits, including most of the waters off the Florida coast. The entire East and West Coasts are off limits for new drilling.</p>
<p>Last week, Exxon Mobil Corp. Chief Executive Rex Tillerson chided President Bush for asking Saudi Arabia to boost its production, while not doing more to increase production at home in the U.S., particularly off the coasts of Florida and California.</p>
<p>“There is no question in my mind that there is significant conventional resources available,” Mr. Tillerson said in an interview last week. “If you are looking for larger fields, they will probably be found in the offshore areas that are currently off limits.”</p>
<p>Those offshore areas are closed to exploration and drilling under congressional moratoriums and presidential executive orders that command broad support among elected officials in the politically powerful states of California and Florida. Opening these areas up could prove nettlesome.</p>
<p>Little data exist about how much oil and gas might be found under the waters now closed for exploration. Federal agencies are prevented from doing rudimentary geological surveys in most areas to pinpoint areas of interest. The last time the industry shot seismic imagery was in the 1970s when this widely used search technology was in its infancy.</p>
<p>Other promising areas onshore also are off-limits. In a report last week, the federal Bureau of Land Management stated that at current U.S. consumption levels there are four years worth of oil and 10 years worth of natural gas under federal lands. However, more than 90% of that energy was under lands either closed to development or open with significant environmental restrictions. The federal Minerals Management Service said an additional three years worth of oil and gas is in offshore areas where drilling isn’t allowed.</p></blockquote>
